As far as "From Hell" well there was among many other theories that a Mason did it. In the movie and in real record account that was written in chalkd after the murders "The Juws did it" someone connected this with the legend of Abiff's killers.

Why would producers feel the need to include this small and unecessary point to the film?

I can't help but feel that this question was the most poignant of the post. Why would producers put masonic symbols or hint at secret Mason or Mason-like groups into their films or, possibly, television?
Well, one reason might be because the producer or even a member of the production company integrates such things into the film since he might be a Mason. The love and dedication to this organization is certainly known to those on the Secret Society's Forum. That this might occur is, assuredly, a possiblity however remote.
Originally posted by benevolent tyrantAnother reason would be because the Masons' have developed a mystique or aura of mystery apart from other Fraternities, Orders and Brotherhoods. To include aspects of the Masons : i.e., their symbols, serves to add a touch of that mystery and cultured intrigue into the movie as a desired effect to stimulate the viewer's involvement in the film.

More likely. What people don't know (or know little about [as is often demonstrated on this forum]), they fear.
Originally posted by KnightsI believe it could be a possibility but I don't fully buy this theory. Producers could just as easily use Devil worshipers or any other secret organisation. The use of the Masonic symbols were shown several times when there was no need in my eyes. The film seemed to purposely point a finger at Masonic ideals.
