Bates Motel Announces Rihanna Cast For Its Final Season

One of the announcements to come during the San Diego Comic Con is that Bates Motel will have one final season. That’s not a big surprise considering that we said good-bye to Norma (Vera Farmiga) at the end of season 4. There was some good news during the panel, the iconic character of Marion Crane will be played by music superstar Rihanna. We reported back in May that the character would be checking into the Motel, though at the time the casting had not been announced. Image: Calebmafia.com It leaves little doubt that Rihanna and Freddie Highmore (Norman) will recreate one of the most iconic scenes in the history of horror, the shower scene featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film Psycho, featuring the character Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) being stabbed to death by Norman Bates, dressed as his mother.

Making Men Scream Like Little Girls – A Review Of The Conjuring 2

The Conjuring 2 is everywhere, social media, TV, and is still number one at the box office for its second week. I’ve been dying to see The Conjuring 2. Last night, I made the hour-plus drive to the nearest theater to see it for myself, and I was not disappointed. Directed by genre genius James Wan and starring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as the real life legendary paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, The Conjuring 2 takes on two real life paranormal events. The Conjuring 2, based on a true story, delves into the Enfield Poltergiest. But the film begins with the Amityville investigation. The Amityville haunting began in real life when the Lutz family moved into the home once owned by the DeFeo family and began experiencing paranormal events, which inspired The Amityville Horror.
