The Curse of Thorn is a horrible curse used by the Thorn Cult on Michael Myers and it serves as an eponymous major plot element in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.

The Curse of Thorn is revealed to be a mystical runic symbol based on a namesake constellation "Thorn" that could appear during the ancient feast called "Samhain" (the holiday now known as "All Hallows Eve" or simply Halloween). To prevent mass death among the tribes, one family was chosen to bear the curse. This curse would require the bearer to sacrificially murder his or her entire family, which in turn would spare their entire community from events such as plague and drought. The curse also appears to give the cursed inhuman strength and immunity from death.

The Curse of Thorn is placed on a child by a leader of the Thorn Cult. It commands that child to kill his entire family as a blood sacrifice to keep the cult alive. It also makes that child able to withstand serious injuries that would result in death for any normal human being. It turns the child into pure evil.

The Curse of Thorn was placed on Michael Myers by Dr. Wynn in 1963. He succeeded in killing his sister Judith Myers, and later his neice, Jamie Lloyd. By this time, Jamie's baby, Stephen, was the only remaining member of Michael's bloodline, and once he was made the final sacrifice, Wynn intended to pass the Curse of Thorn onto Danny Strode. However, Michael killed all the cult members before he had the chance. It is unknown if the Curse of Thorn eventually wore off with Wynn's death, or if it was permanent until his bloodline was severed.

The curse was greatly explored in the Producer's Cut edition of Halloween 6, with more importance given to Dr. Wynn and his Cult. At the end of that cut, a dying Wynn passes the curse to Michael's old psychiatrist Dr. Samuel Loomis, which is the real reason Loomis screams at the end of the film.

She is inspired by a famous witch named Shiny Chariot and hopes to follow in her footsteps. However, Akko struggles with her studies and is often ridiculed by her classmates. One day, the academy's headmistress announces that a grand magical event called the "Witch's Festival" is going to be held.

Mark of Thorn

The "Mark of Thorn" is a runic symbol that is both the symbolic representation of the Curse of Thorn and the iconic insignia of the Thorn Cult. It appeared on the wrist of those involved with the cult, or cursed by them. It could be seen on Michael Myers's wrist, and in the Producer's Cut of the film, it could be seen on Dr. Terence Wynn and later Dr. Samuel Loomis.

The festival is a chance for the students to showcase their magical abilities. Akko is determined to prove herself and decides to participate in the festival. With the help of her friends Lotte and Sucy, Akko embarks on a journey to find a legendary magical item known as the "Trident of Poseidon." She believes that possessing the Trident will make her a great witch and impress her classmates. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles. Eventually, Akko and her friends manage to find the Trident, but Akko realizes that the true power of the Trident lies in unity and friendship. She learns that being a great witch is not about possessing magical artifacts, but about believing in oneself and never giving up. The film ends with Akko and her friends performing a magical spell that saves the day and impresses everyone at the Witch's Festival. Akko proves that she can be a great witch even without being born with magical abilities. "Little Witch Academia" is a heartwarming and magical film that teaches important lessons about self-belief, friendship, and the power of dreams. It has gained a significant following and has since inspired a television series and several other adaptations. The film showcases Studio Trigger's unique animation style and offers an entertaining and enchanting experience for viewers of all ages..
