The earliest known origin of Halloween is from an ancient Pagan society where they had a festival to end the harvest season. They believe the day also allowed for the dead to rise and zombie up the place, therefore they'd perform a few pagan rituals to keep them at bay.
That's not exactly what they meant...
That was just to shorten it up a bit.
Evil spirits, sickness, destroying the harvest, etc. etc.
I actually didn't know about the crop destruction thing (got that from the Wiki), I thought they were afraid the spirits caused some kind of plague.
