The Bates Motel (1987)
Bud Cort (MASH) and Lori Petty (TANK GIRL) star in this failed 1987 Feature-Length Pilot for an Anthology Series revolving around the Bates Motel. Bud plays Alex West, a man recently released from an asylum, and friend to the late Norman Bates. He inherits Norman's supposidly haunted estate, and decides to re-open the business. There's a strange subplot involving a suicidal motel guest, and a silly SCOOBY-DOO style ending, but this film isn't actually all that bad. If they can riff PSYCHO II, this one is more than worthy.

This might be cheesy fun to riff. Bank loans! Ooooooh! Scary!
