In Halloween Kills, it’s hinted that the only other thing that he cares about, besides his mask, is his childhood home, as when he was a child, it's stated that he liked to stare out of his older sister's window, not because he was looking at the town, but because he was looking in his reflection.

Academics find the film full of critiques of late 20th-century American society; historian Nicholas Rogers points to an anti- corporate message where an otherwise successful businessman turns "oddly irrational" and seeks to "promote a more robotic future for commerce and manufacture." Cochran's " astrological obsessions or psychotic hatred of children overrode his business sense." [65] Tony Williams argues that the film's plot signified the results of the "victory of patriarchal corporate control." [66] In a similar vein, Martin Harris writes that Halloween III contains "an ongoing, cynical commentary on American consumer culture." Upset over the commercialization of the Halloween holiday, Cochran uses "the very medium he abhors as a weapon against itself." Harris also discusses other big business critiques in the film, including the unemployment of local workers and the declining quality of mass-produced products.

Appears in: Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends (archival footage, photograph, mentioned) Hill told Fangoria that the film was supposed to be "a 'pod' movie, not a 'knife' movie." As such, Wallace drew inspiration from another pod film: Don Siegel's Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956). Santa Mira was the fictional setting of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and the name was adopted for Halloween III as an homage to Siegel's film. Aspects of the plot proved very similar as well, such as the "snatching" bodies and replacing them with androids, and the pessimistic conclusion at the film's end. Halloween III's subtitle comes from George A. Romero's third film, Season of the Witch (1973) — also known as Hungry Wives — but the plot contains no similarities to Romero's story of a housewife who becomes involved in witchcraft. Michael appeared on the April 25, 2008 episode of Ghost Whisperer titled "Horror Show". Here, a spirit communicates with Jennifer Love Hewitt's character by placing her in scenes from the deceased's favorite horror movies, and one of the scenes involved Michael Myers.
