When watching the movie, I suspect that when Marion suggests a place for Mrs. Bates, she's probably thinking of a nursing home or retirement community. People can get crazy as they get older. However, Norman looks at Marion and says, "You mean an institution?" The way he describes a mental hospital in grim detail while not even blinking at Marion suggests he's seen this before. Gives me the creeps every time I watch that.

Jessica Jayes That's exactly the impression I got too. I always thought Marion was suggesting a nursing home or something of the like, and Norman's reaction gives an interesting insight into how he perceives reality. Everyone's out to get him. He immediately assumes that she means a mental asylum, and the way he goes into detail about them suggests that he has had prior experiences involving them. Very well written film.

This was not mentioned in the video, but in the book Norman was briefly put in a mental hospital after he murdered his mother and her boyfriend. He had managed to successfully pass off his crime as a murder/suicide committed by his mom, but suffered severe shock. If I remember correctly, the authorities found him in a catatonic state. Norman was released after a month and then dug up his mother.

I’ve been watching Psycho every October and intermediately throughout the year for around five years now, and I finally got around to watching the entire Psycho franchise. After, I read the books. You cannot believe how hard it was to try and picture somebody other than Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates. Honestly, so many people have oversimplified Norman’s story. I always felt like the three personalities were clear. Too many people think Norman is a ‘crazy transvestite’ because they heard the word at the end and couldn’t retain anything else from the movie.

There's one major difference you neglected to mention. Both the book and the film end explaining that the Mother personality has taken over, and both monologues include the phrase "wouldn't hurt a fly" but they exist in different contexts: When Mother thinks it at the end of the book, she's essentially thinking that Norman was the murderous part of their joint personality and she took over for his own good. That's why she wouldn't hurt a fly. At the end of the movie, it's more insidious, like she isn't hurting the fly on camera for the benefit of the doctors. That way she'll enjoy a prompt release; the audience is still left to wonder whether or not she's sincerely passive.

And the fact that the cop doesn't do more to check out this cartoonishly suspicious person is almost farcical. That cop would have to be like Chief Wiggum to shrug off such obvious warning signs.

Yeah, the first 25 minutes of the movie is basically a mini Hitchcock TM movie. All those little one-in-a-million bad luck moments that bite the immoral protagonist in the ass are a common theme in the standard Hitchcock movie, though they're normally spread out a little thinner, making them a bit more plausible. But it seems like Hitchcock specifically wanted to trick the audience into thinking they were in for more of the same old trademark Hitchcock shtick, before he pulled the rug out from under them. That meant having to rush to get his little standard mini-movie over and done with so he could interrupt it with the invention of the slasher flick. So, consequently he had to pile on a lot of those tension-building bad-luck "coincidences" in a row... almost to the point of absurdity.
