During the final scenes where Norma is driving into the Motel parking lot as Norman is running across the parking lot, it was not actually raining (the first night all week that it wasn't). Because of this, Vera Farmiga had to be blow-dried between takes, while Freddie Highmore and the car had to be sprayed down with water bottles. Freddie would keep himself warm between takes by jumping up and down on the spot, as the scene was filmed January 31.
