A few short phrases...

Could someone please tell me if I translated these English phrases correctly into Spanish? Thank you very much in advance. :)

The weary ranchers = Los ganaderos desgastados
The scared ranchers = Los ganaderos miedo
The fat/chubby chupacabra = El chupacabra de grasa (or is it El chupacabra gordo?)
Halloween = El dia de las brusas
The evil boy = El chico malo

The weary ranchers = Los ganaderos ~~desgastados~~ cansados/exhaustos ("desgastado" is used for objects, like worn-out tires, clothing, etc.)
The scared ranchers = Los ganaderos ~~miedo~~ asustados/espantados ("miedo" is a noun, not an adjective. And "miedoso" means fearful or coward)
The fat/chubby chupacabra = El chupacabras ~~de grasa~~ (or is it El chupacabras gordo?) ("gordo" is correct. "De grasa" would mean that it's some sort of sculpture made of fat...) :yuck:
Halloween = El día de ~~las brusas~~ brujas (In Mexico it's called "Día de Muertos", but although "Halloween" is internationally understood, it's right to call it "Día de Brujas".
The evil boy = El chico malo :good: (If you're talking about a young boy mischieving, the word proposed by Poli, "niño travieso", would fit better)

Some comments and corrections above.

Thank you both; your help is very much appreciated!

Aquí no decimos Halloween (bueno, últimamente sí, por la influencia de películas norteamericanas sobre el tema). Para nosotros el 1 de noviembre es el Día de Todos los Santos; el 2 de noviembre es el Día de los Fieles Difuntos (ni muertos, ni brujas ni calabazas ;) ). :)
