The tradition of dressing as the devil can be traced back to ancient Celtic rites, especially the festival of Samhain, which signified the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter.

And they're the type of costume that a lot of folks might have ready to make at any point because they're basically clothes stuffed with straw or whatever you can stuff them with: blue jeans, flannel shirt, wide brim hat. Just an eyebrow pencil to make dots/freckles on the cheeks. And some hay, or fake hay to stuff in the sleeves so it pokes out of the cuffs.

Vampires are bloodsuckers. Pre-medieval vampire folklore going back to ancient civilizations such as the Mesopotamians, Hebrews, and Greeks, included stories of malevolent entities feeding on human life force. The idea of bloodsucking by vampires became more pronounced in Eastern European cultures, where myths were formed around corpses rising from the grave to bedevil the living.

Blood is symbolic of life and vitality in many cultures, so, a vampire sucking blood from the living represented a means of sustaining life by stealing it from others. Happy Halloween!
