Microsoft publishes creepy Halloween theme pack for Windows 7
The wallpaper images vary in quality -- some of them look like amateur attempts with point-and-click cameras -- but with 15 images to select from, there should be more than enough to sate your ghoulish urges.
This is also the first theme I've used with customized sounds. All of your major Windows sounds are replaced with spine-tingling horror film-esque counterparts. A blast from a church organ accompanies the connecting and disconnecting of USB devices, while some kind of violin-and-ghost combo will give you the willies when you receive a new email.
I just wish someone had told me about the new sound set. That's the last time I keep my volume turned up, I assure you...

Ewwww spooky. I gotta say though, I'm getting really sick of Microsoft's politically correct crap. There's no such thing as holiday 2010. I think they should pick the holiday that's biggest in the country of launch and use that. In North America, just come out and say Christmas 2010 or Thanksgiving. Enough if enough,

To be fair, I think that calling it Eerie autumn is correct, since not all the wallpapers are halloween related. Some of them deal with one of the prime themes of Autumn - melancholy.
