The dredging up of Marion's car in the very last second of 'Psycho' is the Return of the Repressed. Norman has retreated into his mother's personality: I didn't do this; Norman did this. But the Return of the Repressed suggests this hiding out in a second personality will soon burst. And Norman will be left, as in the iconic poster of Anthony Perkins, shrieking with one hand covering his mouth and the other hand flung out to push away the truth.
