It can't be ignored as an easter egg or something, you all even have said it is similar to the events in SH3, I think that are dark forces, evil and sadistic who lives in the town, and like to play with whoever enter it, maybe those voices and deadly games are manifestations of that forces. Maybe the ancient powers of the town was stained with evilness when the native americans of the region were massacred, as I have read somewhere in this forum.
Before completing SH1 I thought somthing really evil was behind the things what were happening in the town. Later I discovered it was Alessa's mind, but I don't know if Alessa only bringed the fuel with her mind and the ones that bringed the alternative realities, otherworld, etc are some evil forces that live within the region.

Re: Trick or Treat gameshow
I've said it before, I'll say it again: not everything is a metaphor for a dead wife. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes a fun game mechanic is just a fun game mechanic. I've spoken to game designers- I met one for dinner just a few weeks ago!- and sometimes they really do just put in easter eggs for fun, or make puzzles to spice up the game without trying to force meaning into it.
Considering how SH fans love to search for scraps of info, I always figured this was a little way of seeing how much we're paying attention and trying to make us look more. So much of the game relies on the player paying attention to details, seeking information and actively trying to figure out what's happening, the gameshow just played on that. Call it a heads-up that we should read every scrap and pay attention to detail and we'll be rewarded in the end.

You'll be missed. You were missed. I am missing you.
