I hate to be such a spoilsport, but it was probably done for the very
mundane reason of copyright infringment.  Technically, all these records
you hear with snippets of other people's songs, or films, or home movie
audio tracks, or whatever, are supposed to be paying royalties on them.  When
they fail to properly credit the original source and/or pay royalties,
it's time for the fun 1980's game: SUE YOUR NEIGHBOR!  I would bet a lot
of money that Kate re-created the Night Of The Demon line because of
copyright.

On the other hand, when you sample off a film soundtrack, you tend to get
a lot of added noise, so maybe she was just trying to be Hi-Fi kind of
person?
