Where the spooky Halloween look comes from
Halloween takes its name from the Scots form of All Hallows' Eve. Robert Burns's 1785 poem Halloween recounts the legends of the night, and in the 19th century people in parts of England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland carved turnips into lanterns for it.
The American tradition of carving pumpkins is recorded by 1837, the same year the word jack-o'-lantern was first used for a carved lantern. Haunted houses began in the United States in the 1930s, and the opening of The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland in August 1969 made the haunted house an American icon.
This style puts those pieces into one night picture: a full moon, a haunted house with lit windows, gravestones, bats and a row of glowing jack-o'-lanterns, in deep indigo and pumpkin orange.

The thousands of Halloween postcards printed between 1900 and the 1920s commonly show children but not trick-or-treating. Source ↗

Spooky Halloween in typography
Halloween titles are short and loud: Happy Halloween, Spooky Season, Trick or Treat. They sit in the open sky above the scene, large enough to read from across a street on a door poster, often in pumpkin orange or moon white against the indigo night.
Event details go underneath in plain capitals: day, date, time and place on separate lines, the way a party flyer is read in two seconds.
