Someone Made the Bates Motel & Mansion of Hitchcock's Psycho in Second Life and Hosts Karaoke Parties There

Click here to visit, but maybe take a shower beforehand.  SL artist Kaiden Tray made this faithful recreation of the classic cinema location, complete with four free motel rooms (date night, anyone?), and the Bates mansion on the hill. Impressively, he made it from scratch, mainly using the recent TV show spinoff of Psycho for reference.  

I know you're wondering if Mother is in the basement, or what happens if you step into the shower, or walk like a stupidly curious detective up the mansion stairs. Kaiden declines to answer any of that, but tells me that he plans to turn this into a full Psycho experience on its own sim.

As for now, there's some social activities. 

"We have karaoke sometimes," says Kaiden, "or anyone can have their own events they just need to let me know." Because one thing you don't ever want to do is do something on the Bates estate without the owner's permission.

More pics below, including Kaiden Tray himself doing a halfway decent Anthony Hopkins impression:

Get the fuck back in the car, Marion. Teleport your ass out of there girl!

"Mother! Prim blood!"

Why would you go to all that trouble to recreate the TV version of the house and motel and not the more iconic movie version?

Awesome build! Will check it out.

I had a couple Hitchcock builds several years running at Aero Pines Park's Annual Halloween Trail. Not only did I have a Bates Motel with the Psycho mansion (not as cool-looking in older days of SL). Each room in the motel had spookiy interactions and other scary movie tributes.

The other favorite Hitchcock build on Halloween Trail, was The Birds, where I had the schoolhouse and the playground equipment full of noisy scary animated crows. Inside the schoolhouse was a Youtube mashup video of The Birds movie that was 1:13 minutes long.

I miss hosting Annual Halloween Trail. It was a team effort that took a month to install the displays and season change the multiple connected regions, and ran for the month of October.

That's so wonderful and attractive writing style! Honestly speaking that, your writing style holds me to this post till the end. The lighting of the background of the picture looks so mysterious to me. I hope you will produce more in the near future. Thanks for sharing this post with us.
