🔥 Fan Takes

Hate to break it to ya, but Norman Bates being less flashy doesn’t mean he’s less terrifying. It's that quiet crazy that gets ya.
Oh c'mon, there's no contest. Voldemort's got the magic and the minions. Norman's just this one motel guy.
lol remember when Voldemort failed to kill a baby? Norman’s creep vibe wins, easy.
