It's too convoluted; how did she get the power to tape over things in progress? There's a much simpler explanation which makes much more sense: [[Main/TheSixthSense Cole Sear]] helped her record the tape in an effort to help her pass on. Poor optimistic kid...

[[WMG: Frolic in brine, monsters be thine: Samara Morgan is half siblings with [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]].]]
First of all, we know that [[FanonDiscontinuity Samara Morgan's father was no mere human]], having resulted from ''some'' kind of unnatural act. The most common interpretation, borrowed from the 1998 film adaptation, is that Evelyn was impregnated by some kind of sea spirit or god. Who else do we know who's associated strongly with water and is the supernatural offspring of a psychotic single mother? Jason Voorhees.
*Their father could be Cthulhu, Pamela Voorhees ''did'' have a copy of the Necronomicon, but that's beyond the scope of this theory.
*Notably, the original novel contains multiple [[ShoutOut shout outs]] to Friday the 13th, drawing parallels and connections between the two monsters and their associated franchises.

[[WMG: Samara Morgan is Sadako Yamamura's biological child.]]
Specifically the Sadako from the books. The movies never really explained how Evelyn got pregnant and the books mention the Ring virus impregnating women. Basically, the virus mutated so that instead of women getting pregnant with Sadako's clone after getting infected, they're impregnated with Sadako's child instead. Evelyn misinterpreted the evil she could sence from the video as being demonic, so when she had Samara she assumed the father was a demon.

[[WMG: Samara is partially a horse.]]
This was a fairly common hypothesis/theory after the first American movie was released but the second one wasn't. Some arguments for this were that her parents were rich and well-connected horse breeders who were ready to do anything to have a child (and according to some documents in the film, Samara was a result of a mysterious trip to Europe), some fans said the mouth in the cursed videotape looks like it belongs to a horse or some sort of [[EldritchAbomination mix of horse and human]], and that Samara and the horses seem to dislike or be scared of each other.

Explains why he calls Rachel "Mommy" despite Samara being sealed away. When Rachel exorcised him of Samara she also exorcised the Demon calling her Rachel. Why did the Demon consent to such an exorcisim? Because Rachel is so used to Aiden acting like how she wants that she would force him to act like the Demon which [[ForTheEvulz is exactly what it wants since making the child act like that on his own will cause a massive strain on his mind]] practically [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing him.]]

[[WMG:There is no Samara. The [[ShowWithinAShow film]] has an overcranked version of the {{Videodrome}} signal in it.]]
The signal is adjusted improperly, so instead of predisposing people who watch the video towards violence and making them suggestible, it gives them severe radiation poisoning. All of the strange things they see as they slowly die are taken from their subconscious, having been planted there by the video. The phone call occurs because they've all heard the UrbanLegend about the phone call, and are already hallucinating.

* The Wire was originally trapped on a Betamax tape (presumably as a failsafe measure) but it's entirely possible that the Doctor automatically transferred his Betamax tapes to VHS without watching each one to make sure it wasn't imprisoning an evil entity. We've all done that at least once.
