Since you are only running voice thru the PA system, you don't need a large cabinet with big subwoofers or anything. Select a pair of small cabinets with a 8 inch woofer or smaller and separate mid/high speaker. Due to the smaller cabs a large power amplifier would not be required. I imagine 200 watts would be sufficient to blow away any pumpkin venue I've ever seen with vocals only. Just make sure the speakers are in front of the mic, not behind.

Microphones- the Shure SM58 is the industry standard for stage vocal mics. But a lesser known fact is that the Sennheiser E835 is a superior mic for much cheaper. Pretty much whatever your band friends can offer you in the way of vocal mics will probably work out great though.
