Before A&E's "Bates Motel" – a contemporary take on the life of Norman Bates and his relationship with his mother, Norma – there was a made-for-television movie in 1987 called Bates Motel.

Written and directed by Richard Rothstein and starred Bud Cort, Lori Petty, Moses Gunn, Gregg Henry and even Jason Bateman.

If you recall, this take didn't focus on Norman Bates so much as it introduced us to his roomie (Bud Cort) from the mental hospital! This was meant to be a television pilot, but the series never took off.





We're now learning this version of "Bates Motel" is coming to DVD in a four-film presentation from Universal Home Entertainment. It will include Psycho II, Psycho III, Psycho IV: The Beginning and Bates Motel.

The street date is September 2nd.



1987's "Bates Motel" was released on DVD through Universal's "Vault Series" not too long ago.
