Audio problem: During the scene where Dr. Challis goes to visit his two kids, they put on their Halloween masks and his little son says "Let's watch TV." He goes to turn the knob to turn on the TV and a split second before he turns it, we can hear the intro of the commercial on the television.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Plot summary
Directed by: Tommy Lee Wallace
Starring: Dan O'Herlihy, Tom Atkins, Michael Currie, Stacey Nelkin
A patient is brutally murdered in hospital, the attacker is promptly incinerated when his vehicle blows up in the car park. Witness to a series of bizarre and horrifying incidents, Dr Dan Challis investigates and comes face to face with the sinister figure of Conal Cochran, maker of Halloween masks.
Intent on reviving the rites of all Hallows Eve, a night of ancient sacrifice when, long ago, the hills ran red with the blood of animals and children, the diabolical toymaker is planning a devilish trick or treat for the children of America.
Commercial Announcer: It's time. It's time. Time for the big giveaway. Halloween has come. All you lucky kids with Silver Shamrock masks, gather 'round your TV set, put on your masks and watch. All witches, all skeletons, all Jack-O-Lanterns, gather 'round and watch. Watch the magic pumpkin. Watch.
Question: I could be wrong, but wouldn't destroying the Silver Shemrock factory disable the commercial and/or the mask chips?

Chosen answer: They don't broadcast the commercial, the cable company does. And the mask chips all have tiny pieces of the rock inside, so they will still work regardless of whether or not the factory is destroyed. So the answer is "no" and "no."
