Through vampires. Vampire bats are known to suck blood off of cows so people thought they were vampires in disguise. Since vampires turn into bats and vampires are part of Halloween, bats got indirectly pulled into Halloween.

* For thousands of years, cats have been regarded as mysterious creatures with supernatural powers and were associated with witches and death. It was believed that witches could change into cats; in fact, they could make that change nine times. Some people believed that cats were the spirits of the dead. The cat's pupils - narrow slits in the daytime, but luminous globes at night - linked him to the moon, Halloween, and emphasized his ability to see into the future.

* Bats, the creatures of the night are associated with vampires and the living dead because of their cousins, the vampire bats. Bats are nocturnal and scary and conjure up spooky images of Count Dracula and other creepy villians who lurch about on Halloween to suck blood from their victims and turn them into blood suckers themselves. Well bats r pretty scary to some humans and cat are sometimes to.

Where does the saying 'like a bat out of hell' come from?

The saying "like a bat out of hell" has been common in the UK for decades. It means to leave a place quickly. Bats fly very quickly and erractically, often looking like they are in a panic. The phrase "like a bat out of hell" first appeared in print in 1921 - legend has it that WWI plane fighters used it to describe flying at top speed. So why "out of hell"? Bats have long been associated with the occult, so the out of hell phrase was apparently added for extra flavor. The phrase also became popular in the US after the 1977 release of the Meat Loaf album, "Bat Out of Hell."
