Hitchcock-inspired “Bates Motel” teasers unveiled

Judging from new clips for A&E's Bates Motel, guest will be checking in but they won't quite be enjoying the hospitality.

In new teasers for the cable network's upcoming Psycho prequel series, a body appears to be hanging on the property -- on fire -- and another presumed guest is clinging to life and handcuffed to the pipes of a sink, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Currently filming in Vancouver, Up in the Air Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga will play the tainted mother to Norman (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Freddie Highmore) in the drama from Lost's Carlton Cuse and Friday Night Lights' Kerry Ehrin.
