Subsequent owners continued the link. Powell's black cat, who leaps onto the front desk to startle strangers, is named Norma. There's a stuffed black bird in the parlor behind the desk. Unlike the off-the-beaten-path Bates, the real one is just off Interstate 90 in this bustling resort town.
It's booked all summer long by tourists, many drawn by the irresistible urge to tell friends they spent the night in the Bates Motel. Room No. One elderly blind man from Wisconsin stayed in the room for a month a few years ago, Powell said. He warned the owners not to tell his relatives where he was. It also sells T-shirts that show the spooky old house from the movie, with a few lighted windows. The Bates Motel was a small, local motel operated by Norman Bates.
After Norman poisoned them both, he inherited ownership of the motel. In the early 50s, two women who stayed here tried to seduce Norman, who later killed them on the orders of his mother who he had developed a sided-personality based on.
By this time, business had been slow, thanks to the new highway which directed most traffic away from the motel. Norman found himself attracted to her, sending "Mother" into a jealous rage. He and "Mother" argued about Norman inviting her for dinner.
Later that night, "Mother" snuck into Marion's room while she showered, and stabbed her to death. A few minutes after that, Norman discovered Marion's corpse. Horrified, he began cleaning up the mess, including mopping the blood from the bathroom, putting her body in the trunk of her car, and pushing the car into a lake nearby. A week later, Norman encountered Milton Arbogast , a private investigator looking for Marion, just before he was about to change the linen in the cabins.
Arbogast asked him a few questions about Marion spending the night there, which Norman somewhat dishonestly answered.
After that, Arbogast left, but returned sometime later to confront Bates's mother, where Norman dressed up as "Mother" killed him and left his body in the swamp. After renting a cabin, they searched Cabin 1, the room Marion stayed.
Clatworthy latter recalled:. Hurley and Clatworthy reused parts of other sets for the Bates house, including a tower from the house used in the James Stewart film Harvey , and was constructed with only two walls, as that was all that was required for the purposes of the film. The interiors of the Bates motel and house were constructed on Stage A and on the famous Stage 28, home to the "Phantom Stage". In , the house was used in the film Invitation of a Gunfighter and the two missing sides were added.
Since then, the house has made many appearances in film and television, has been moved to different parts of the studio lot twice, and remains a popular part of the Universal Studio Tour.
