Sneak a Peek into Season 3 of 'Bates Motel'

If you haven't watched "Bates Motel" on A&E, stop reading right now and go watch it. You can easily marathon the first two seasons in a day. You don't need to sleep, trust me on this!

Alright, now that you're caught up, rejoice! After catching a rather grim and familiar glimpse of Norman Bates at the end of the second season, it has been revealed that viewers will be seeing even more of that sweet, terrifying madness we have all been waiting for.

Executive Producers, Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin, give fans a little insight in a behind the scenes peek of their contemporary prequel to Robert Bloch's novel, "Psycho." It is revealed that his hallucinations and his reality, especially involving mother Norma (Vera Farmiga), are much more difficult for him to discern. This season Norman, brilliantly portrayed by Freddie Highmore, will creep ever closer to the knife-wielding, mother-loving "Psycho" that viewers have been expecting.

The "Bates Motel" re-opens March 9 at 9 p.m. ET on A&E; so check in, relax...take a shower.

Former 'Walking Dead' showrunner Mazzara writing 'Shining' prequel - and it might be cool

Former Walking Dead showrunner Glen Mazzara is checking into The Overlook Hotel, reports Deadline. Mazzara, who was dismissed from TWD in December, is writing a prequel to the 1980 Stanley Kubrick film The Shining for Warner Bros.

Although my fanboy eyebrow (my fanbrow?) arches skeptically anytime I hear about a remake, reboot, re-imagining or long dormany prequel, this kind of makes sense. Long before the Torrance family moved into the Overlook for a really bad winter, the hotel had a notorious history. In Stephen King's 1977 novel alone, the hotel was the site of illnesses, tragic deaths, the murder-suicide of a family, gangland-style murders, ghost children, snakelike fire hoses, zombie wasps, evil topiaries and, oh yeah, is kind of an extension of Hell.

Mazzara could use a prequel to play with a lot of this material that never made it into Kubrick's film (which also had a funky masquerade swinger party and Indian burial ground)...
