History WMG / HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch

* Alternative theory: Silver Shamrock is run by the Cult of Thorn

The death of numerous children nationwide would likely cause a huge backlash against the Holiday itself, causing Halloween to no longer be celebrated, at least in the United States

So how do you get a chunk of Stonehenge across the Atlantic Ocean and across America without being detected? Cochran had some connections with [[Film/Robocop1987 Omni Consumer Products]]. He called in some favors "the Old Man" owed him to get that rock.

** Furthermore, 'Michael Myers' or his equivalent in Season of the Witch's world was ''actually'' part of a test run for Silver Shamrock's larger plan, using a single mask on an individual to see whether or not trigger signals could be sent to the 'brand marking'.

Some episodes will involve Michael Myers (directly or indirectly), some will involve a [[MonsterOfTheWeek different kind of evil each time]]. But they all take place during or around Halloween.

The Haddonfield murders ''actually'' took place in the world of ''Season of the Witch''. The two films that were produced ended up being [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory very loosely]] based on actual events, thanks to the publicized reports from Myers' old psychiatrist and the traumatised sole survivor - much like ''[[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre1974 Texas Chainsaw]]'''s Leatherface is based on Ed Gein.

Perhaps it influenced the adults to purchase them as well. “Witchcraft” or “magic” has already been established and the commercial has a lot of patterns in it. It’s not a stretch to imagine there was some kind of mind control so it hits as many kids as possible. Even if it wasn’t through magic, Cochran has access to technology well beyond what was available at the time.

[[WMG: Cochran is an immortal sorcerer. ]]
his way of talking about the ancient celtic rites is very, very intense, as if he had seen what he tells...

** Let's not forget, a lot of kids probably survived simply because their parents were so sick and tired of hearing that ''wretched'' [[EarWorm London Bridge jingle]] that they found some convenient excuse to leave the damn set switched off.

As horrifying as the deaths of thousands, if not millions may be, if [[AppeaseTheVolcanoGod the sacrifice had not been completed]], a much worse catastrophe would have befallen humanity from the wrath of offended deities.

It's one of the movies that the girl Annie was babysitting had been watching during her horror-movie binge. We'd have seen its closing credits before the opening title for ''The Thing'' came on if the timing of the scenes had been a little different.

** Possibly the biggest reason why the death toll wouldn't be particularly high is [[spoiler: homemade Halloween costumes still outnumber store-bought ones, and did so to a much greater degree in the decade when this film is set]]. Most potential targets wouldn't even ''own'' [[spoiler: one of the booby-trapped masks]].

** The death toll would have to include adults. Remember that when we see the 'test run' of the Silver Shamrock masks, it somehow ends up killing the parents of the kid wearing the mask, too; Presumably the death toll could be much higher because events would be made more chaotic by parents being killed as a byproduct.

...was 'only' in the thousands. Some kids stayed out later for more candy; some had families with busted TV's; some were being punished with no TV, and so forth. Needless to say, it was still counted as a horrific event of staggering proportions, yet it was not as bad as it could have been. That said, Cochran was either a pawn of or working for the [[spoiler: cult Doctor Loomis]] faced later in the series. For the sacrifice of the children was enough to resurrect Michael, and make the killer who was previously pain-ignorant and very durable into a true nightmare immortal.
