History Fridge / HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers

!!!Fridge Brilliance

!!!Fridge Horror

* Speaking of Jamie, just the fact that she got kidnapped on the same night she lost both[[spoiler: Rachel her adopted sister who saved her life multiple times, and Tina her best friend who always made her smile]] meant that she couldn't even mourn those two in peace and that the nightmare she faced on Halloween 1989 was just the beginning of her horror. BreakTheCutie went into overdrive.

* The father of Jamie's baby. Even if it wasn't Michael, she was still subjected to rape while only in her mid-teens, possibly even younger.

!!!Fridge Logic
* If Halloween is banned in Haddonfield, why are the houses decorated and children in costume trick-or-treating? Did the campus rally to restore Halloween somehow achieve its goals before it even happened?
** "Banning" Halloween probably means that no ''official'' town events - parades, public celebrations, school costume contests, etc - are permitted. Prohibiting ''private'' activities like decorating one's own house or giving out candy to neighborhood kids would require a slew of local ordinances that would take years to pass, and would verge on being unconstitutional.
*** It could be possible that it was originally banned for years, but that during the events of the recent film, the ban had been lifted (as Michael hadn't been seen for years at this point) and those who enjoyed Halloween wasn't gonna miss this year.
* The "Sold" sign indicates they've moved in recently, but they're also clearly unpacked - so how could the Strode family have lived in their house for any length of time without knowing it was the Myers house? Clearly the rest of the town knows, including the children who set up the Michael standee. However, John is indeed a bastard and given his character, would not be above hiding things from his family.
* How on Earth did Michael manage to put Barry's body in a tree and wrap it all up in string lights in the middle of a crowded fair without anyone noticing him?
** Maybe any witnesses thought it was a prop?
* This one applies only to the theatrical cut: If Jamie Lloyd is dead when she's found in the barn, why are Dr. Loomis and Wynn at the hospital? Shouldn't Jamie's body have been taken to the morgue?
** The town's police station was blown up in the previous movie. Haddonfield probably had to make do with the hospital's morgue facilities after that, and when they built a new police station, the budget wouldn't stretch to include one.
* How is it that no one noticed the trail of blood and crying baby in the bathroom at the bus station before Tommy, when it's already open when he gets there? Do they not have a janitor? No one had to use the restroom?
** Could be the first bus of the day had only just come in, and the station had been empty of customers until just before Tommy arrives. The guy behind the counter may have been using an employee restroom. Plus, the baby might've been sound asleep until then.
* When John Strode goes into the dark basement, he notes that the power's been cut and yet the washer is still running, and wonders how. That's a pretty good question that's never answered! Is there really a supernatually-powered/haunted laundry machine stuck into the middle of this movie?
** It wasn't a real power outage; Michael had sabotaged the lights.
** A circuit breaker is designed to provide power to areas in the house, each breaker can be designated for each room. It's not too hard to figure that Michael switched off the breakers for the rest of the house and left the basement's breaker still on.
* Mrs. Blankenship being Michael's babysitter back in 1963 makes the entire opening of the original film make sense--why the POV is of Michael approaching the Myers house (he's returning from Mrs. Blankenship's), his murdering Judith, and the dazed expression on his face when his parents remove his mask, as though he doesn't understand his own actions. Mrs. Blankenship is a member of the Cult and probably put the curse on him that very night and sent him to commit his first murder.
* Michael is the father of Jamie's baby in the Producer's Cut. Uh, how did the cult either A) Get him in a room with Jamie long enough for him to rape her without him immediately tearing her head off? Remember, in this continuity he's strong enough to break down doors with his ''bare hands'' and tear open a grown man's throat with just one. Or B) Somehow sedated him but also kept him aroused long enough to get his sperm so they could artificially induce Jamie? Either option just raises more questions than it answers.
