Many characters have stopped off (or decided to avoid) the Bates Motel over the years, but the most commonly referenced scene is the infamous shower murder. Filmmakers have been replicating that scene's distinctive shot framing, shrieking soundtrack and scene transition (the unblinking eye to sink drain fade) since 1962.
