Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Ed Gein

According to the Ed Gein page, the author of the novel that Psycho is based on claims that Norman Bates was not based on Ed Gein. Can anyone investigate? --Shinyplasticbag 05:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quote from book about Unholy Trinity

I have the book in my hand, and the quote is this: "There was Norman, the little boy who needed his mother and hated anyone who came between him and her. Then, Norma, the mother, who could not be allowed to die. The third aspect might be called Normal - the adult Norman bates, who had to go through the daily routine of living, and conceal the existence of the other personalities from the world."

I didn't think the quote was necessary in the article though, so I left the original editor's paraphrase, but removed the aside that the quote might not be accurate.

[edit] Psycho IV

I made some changes to this section; he tries to kill his wife with the knife, and only sets the house on fire after he lets her go. The movie ends before she gives birth, with a hint that "Mother" is still present, just waiting to get out, so I cut out the line about him being free of her. (And burning down a house doesn't cure mental illness.) --VAcharon 19:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
