Best bet is to do a google search for it. Download it and then go to town making your flyers!

I've always enjoyed this font "rebuffed".. a take off of Buffy the vampire slayer.

if it were me I'd use a big fat font, a bit rough maybe, and try to make it looke like a pump[kin cut-out with a lot of inner bevel, a texture overlay, and a bit of glow.

okay, so here the problem is that I really don't want a shadow. However, if I try to change the shadow colour to work like a highlight, it looks terrible because the texture does not show through.

I've cut through the letters in such a way that it would be feasible to actually carve them in a pumpkin. Anyway the result is terrible and I'm ashamed to actually post it, but here you go...

There's also a good and fairly similar one called "chiller"

You're best off to choose a font that suits your graphic content, than going the other way around. Halloween is one of those themes that gives you a lot of liberty to use those shlocky fonts available at the freebie font sites, like daFont.

As for the 3D aspect, any search for tutorials will get you 3 trillion one hundred million an two results. Brow
