Not related to the problem at hand, but you should not use \\\ to end a paragraph — Rmano, Mar 09 '21 at 09:06
You are setting tiny text on a normal baseline, leave a blank line before \end{small} so that the \tiny baseline is used — David Carlisle, Mar 09 '21 at 09:10

The symbols from halloweenmath are math-mode symbols. The error comes from

\lhead{\mathrightbat}

which should be

\lhead{$\mathrightbat$}

instead.
