Here Are Two New Teasers for A&E's "Psycho" Prequel, "Bates Motel"

Hotel from hell.

None

If there were any doubts that Bates Motel would live up to the creepiness of film its based upon, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, lo and behold: After watching these new teasers, just released by A&E, it's seems likely that it will.

The short format of the promos is slightly reminiscent of the terrifying and brilliant teasers released by FX to promote American Horror Story: Asylum this past summer, but they're creepy in their own way, of course - the first opens on a seemingly calm night, before panning back to reveal a burning corpse hanging from a tree overhead, while the second goes inside what we can assume to be the Bates Motel, and depicts a pair of twitching hands cuffed to a pipe.

You can check out both teasers below. Bates Motel, which stars Freddie Highmore as a young Norman Bates and Vera Farmiga as his doomed mother, is set to premiere early next year.
