In what fictional D-list movie universe do they live in where satan impregnates a bride on Halloween?
Also I thought Satan was evil.. wouldnt it make more sense for him to impregnate someone who isn't his bride, perhaps even through non consensual means?
If you're going to be the face of evil might as well do the sin part properly.

Halloween is not a fertility festival, it is a fall harvest festival. Like Oktoberfest.
The fertility festival is in Spring, and it's called May Day.
The Oktoberfest is not a fertility festival. It was created to celebrate a royal wedding. The German fertility festival is called „Erntedank“ (~“thanks for the harvest”).
Yeah I know. It just doesn't sound like anything in the Bible so I assume it's some weird bastardization of paganism. Or just completely made up.
I'm only saying this because all the cool parts of "Christian" holidays like the Easter bunny and much of Christmas come straight from paganism.
