** The campaign starts one year after the events of [[Recap/FilmRerollHalloween1978 the previous Halloween]].
** Funnily enough, Paulo accidentally creates a ''second'' one when he misspeaks, and establishes the setting as "Halloween, 1969". Andy suggests this implies the "movie" opens on that time card, then cuts to a brief shot of Haddonfield before immediately flashing "TEN YEARS LATER".
--->'''Scott''': Loomis, like lounging on a beach, in his prime. And then, ten years later...
