We dress up in scary costumes to scare evil spirits away because the next day is Saints Day and we want them to have a peaceful and happy day.

P.S. [The name Halloween came from Hallow's Eve]

Hallow's eve. The night before All Saints, which is where it got its name "All Hallow's Eve" - All Hallows is an old English term for All Saints, and thus it was the evening before All Saints.
