Halloween Jack is a character created by David Bowie for the 1974 Diamond Dogs album and tour. He appears on the front cover of the album, and is mentioned in the songs.
He is described as being a "real cool cat" who lives in Hunger City. Some of this is inspired by the novel: 1984 by George Orwell.
He has a very similar appearance to the other personas Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane - all three had shaved eyebrows and a red mullet haircut. David appeared as this persona in the Diamond Dogs recording sessions and early 1974 interviews, before changing into the more Soul Man-ish appearance for the tour and rest of the year.
