Actually, the title for "Spookiest Ship in the Fleet" may belong to Discovery's sister ship, the USS Glenn, which was darkly lit, full of dead bodies, a Klingon, and a blood-thirsty, but misunderstood space monster.

However, the USS Discovery's registry number, NCC-1031, definitely conjures up certain imagery due to the fact that 10/31 also happens to be Halloween.

The story behind this is simple: Star Trek: Discovery series creator Bryan Fuller requested the USS Discovery's registry number honor his favorite holiday, Halloween. Fuller is no stranger to macabre or Halloween-related material, having created the shows "Dead Like Me", "Pushing Daisies", "Mockingbird Lane", and "Hannibal".
