The Aftermath: The Norman Bates Murders

New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with Dr. Sarah Arnold about the cultural significance of the Norman Bates character in the horror classic Psycho. A Lecturer in Media at Maynooth University and author of the book Maternal Horror Film, Sarah delves into Psychoanalytic Theory and highlights some of the gender norms that are often reinforced and either punished or validated in the horror film genre. After, Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early stop by to revisit the verdict.
