Great background information for this iconic scene!
Given the season, I can't resist pointing out a couple of the echoes of "Psycho" in other contexts.
In "Halloween H20," Janet Leigh plays the school secretary for the private of school of which Jamie Lee Curtis, her real-life daughter, is the principal. As Janet Leigh leaves the campus on Halloween, we can see that she's driving a car that looks identical to the one she drove in "Psycho."
And, of course, there's "Bates Motel," the TV series that explored Norman's earlier life. (You know, when his mother wasn't a corpse.) It does actually go all the way to his mother's death and beyond, to the shower scene. But in the Hitchcock trickster tradition, it isn't the woman with the stolen money who gets stabbed, but, if I recall correctly, one of the men who is pursuing her.
