Strategies
With
Trick-or-Treater can easily give you treats to boost other zombies' stats. It may be a good idea to play some of those treats on Trick-or-Treater himself so that he can survive longer. Or, you can save them for later use when a zombie is about to be destroyed or needs more strength. The treats can also be used as a cheaper, watered-down alternative to Vitamin Z. Some good zombies to pair up with this zombie are Paparazzi Zombie, who gets boosted immensely, and Trickster, who lowers his cost because the treats are tricks.
Speaking of the treats, both Template:PvZHLink and Rustbolt can easily play them at a lower cost from either Dr. Spacetime (since Trick-or-Treater Conjures a treat into your hand) or Zombology Teacher, since the treats are tricks, meaning both can reduce their cost, allowing you to use up fewer brains to spam them.
Against
He can be a nuisance later in the game if not defeated quick enough. To deal with this zombie, do the same as you would with Mad Chemist. Since he has the Gravestone trait, Template:PvZHLink and Blockbuster can take him out before he can activate his ability. Bouncing this is a viable option too, though it is better to destroy him with tricks such as Berry Blast. If he or any zombie gains too much strength from the treats, Shamrocket or Template:PvZHLink can easily take them out, although the latter can destroy your plants too. It is also best to get rid of any Dr. Spacetimes or Zombology Teachers on the field; otherwise, you would have to deal with your opponent easily spamming treats on their zombies.
