When are you too old to go trick or treating?

[Pookie4557]

My philosophy is you're never too old for trick or treating as long as when you're older you should be putting significantly more effort into your costume. Like if you're a young kid I find it acceptable to put a sheet over your head and call it a day, but if you're something like 18 it should be well done cosplay you would see at conventions, or at least something of extremely good quality.

Never too old. I hate it when people tell the teens "aren't you too old to trick or treat ? " I would rather they trick or treat, then get into trouble. I give candy to any age that comes to my door.

Totally agree with everyone. You're never too old. I stopped at 13 though because my friends just didn't feel like doing it anymore and I didn't have anyone to do it with. XD

18 year olds are broke and their parents hate them

never too old , you can keep dressing up but maybe there's a point where you stop asking for candy and just walk around with friends and family

personally i stopped going trick or treating in 7th grade, but in my family the cutoff for trick or treating is when you hit high school. i missed out on 2 years but o well lol.

i think it's okay to trick or treat until you're out of high school.

Never, free candy, okay?

I'd say when you hit HS. I really should have stopped at 14, the last time I went didn't go well at all lmao

 

[AquaStrudel]

I don't see a problem if anyone over 18 wants to go out and trick or treat. It's all in the spirit of the holiday so why not?

 

[Cazqui]

Never.

I stopped around 15-16 (my sophomore year of high school). Idk, my group of friends just slowly transitioned to halloween parties on rather than trick or treating on halloween

The last year I went trick or treating was in 2013. I was a 16 years old and a junior in hs I believe. My friend and I both grabbed a black t-shirt & wrapped it around our heads to look like ninjas. It was really a spur of the moment lets go out and get some free candy type of ordeal. Surprisingly no one was rude to us. Which is kind of sad because when I was 14 I actually showed my face and had on a pirate hat, and people kept saying I was too old...

Lmfao I actually found a photo! I ended up losing that hat while we were out lol.

My parents wouldn't let me after I turned 11, but I probably would have stopped soon anyway. At that point the idea of a party sounded more fun than trick or treating! ^-^

The fun ended around 11 plus i heard it was illegal for ppl 14 and older. Life sucks...

 

[tybalt_cake]

never too old tbh

never too old, i hope to dress up & go out on halloween till the end of my days

I remember going trick or treating at least once in high school, maybe twice, so 14/15, but I don't think I did any later than that. I think it depends on the neighbourhood. A lot of the kids in my neighbourhood were around the same age, so it was just accepted. Typically older kids/teens would start later though so that houses wouldn't run out of candy before the littler kids did the rounds. I enjoyed handing out candy in the years after that and seeing all the costumes and seeing reactions to our carved pumpkins. My sis and I liked to do pop culture designs on them, like disney characters and such.

I wish I could be home for Halloween so I could do that again! I live in a student apartment now though so no trick or treaters for me. :/

 

[visibleghost]

i didnt do it much but i havent done it at all since i was like 10.,,.

but halloween and trick or treating isnt as big of a deal here as it is in the us so yh

Is 'never' not an option really though, haloween isn't a massive thing over here but I know lots of adults who are very into it. I think if you make an effort to dress up it's not harming anybody if you still want to go trick or treating. I probably wouldn't do it just because I never even did it when I was a kid. I go around with my little cousins though and wear a mask or cape
