The History of Hallow's End in WoW Lore
Hallow's End has its roots in the history of the Undead and the Scourge. According to lore it was on this day that the Forsaken Undead broke free from Arthas's control. This is a holiday of freedom for the Forsaken although other races joined in for their own reasons.
The Headless Horseman is a reference to the classic horror image. In Warcraft he is a fallen knight cursed to wander headless and terrorize villages every autumn.
