Why Halloween is related to horrible costumes?

Elements of the autumn season such as pumpkins, corn husks and  scarecrows are also prevalent. Homes are often decorated with these types of symbols around Halloween. Halloween imagery includes themes of death, evil, and mythical monsters. Black, orange, and sometimes purple are Halloween's traditional colors.
