Corrected entry: In the scene where young Norman kills the horny young girl, as he's talking to Mother, she can be seen moving and even blinking her eyes when the camera's at her back, yet at this point in the movie, she's been murdered and placed back in her bed. Clearly the actress missed the memo.

Directed by: Mick Garris
Starring: Henry Thomas, Anthony Perkins, Olivia Hussey, CCH Pounder
Revealing mistake: When young Norman Bates is spying through the peephole on his mother, who has brought home a man to the motel, we see him in the shower. Although the curtain is translucent, we can see he is wearing a black speedo.
Norman Bates: Oh, I've killed before, and now I'm gonna have to do it again.

Correction: This is far too obvious to have been missed by the actors, director, editor, etc. It is intentional. We first see it from Norman's perspective, and to him, through his eyes, mother is still alive. Then we see it from the opposite angle, and we see the scene for what it really is.
