Since Halloween was a pagan holiday there is no definite word for this celebration but it does fall the evening before All Saint's Day. So I would imagine it is "la víspera de todos los santos".

They say "dulces o travesuras" for trick or treat. I know this from watching the horror movie "trick or treat" jaja.

Not normally. It's on November 1st (All Saint's Day) or Nov. 2 (All Soul's Days). - 0074b507, Oct 24, 2011
Halloween (All Hallows "Eve") is the evening (víspera) before "el día de todos los santos" - 0074b507, Oct 24, 2011
