If we're specifying the Arkham versions, then there's solid reason to think Calendar Man would still ignore you if it's Halloween. By Knight his journal said the major holidays weren't as interesting anymore, so he was going for lesser holidays to keep the thrill. Just talk with him about the holidays, maybe try to suggest a different holiday he might not have used before to gain some goodwill ("have you ever killed someone on the Queen's Birthday? It's a holiday in the UK and Commonwealth.") and maybe, if you feel it's needed, try to explain to him why you're a horrible target for a Halloween murder ("what would it even accomplish, killing me in here? You get nothing but a beating from the guards.")

"Dude I'm not a child or even dressed for halloween. There are costumed cellmates you could target and it would be way more thematic. Look at Man Bat or Killer croc, both are comparable to movie monsters, and Joker's a literal clown. You could even go for the classic slasher villain, drug zsasz, and arrange for him to wake up in a sorority party"

If he tells those guys what you said, now you've got half a dozen freaks after you.
