My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy… and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.
- I’ll give a decrepit old dude candy, but i draw the line at actual vampires
The key is to not invite them in, silly. But, then again, who would be inviting trick 'r treaters in? Eh, it’s late, don’t mind me…
If it’s the end of the evening and you’re 47 with no costume and driving a beatup Civic, I’ll happily dump candy in your backpack so that I don’t have it sitting at home tempting me to eat it.
I need a van to write “Need Candy” on the side. I’ll come visit you.

I don’t think it’s begging when people already want to give it out for free.

No age limit! I will give ANYONE candy, I don’t even care if you’re wearing a costume- but I really need you to say trick or treat. Opening my door and everyone just standing there silently is painful.
Age limitation on trick-or-treaters is an inherently fascist concept and will be trashed when the revolution happens.

Thought this said Tik Tok for a second and was going to say 12. Then I realized- that works for both.
As long as your neighbors know you, any age is fine, just have fun and be happy don’t worry about what other people think, just be mindful and empathetic and don’t make people nervous
Yeah, fair enough. :)
Halloween is all but dead in my area, Seattle Washington. Only pockets of neighborhoods put up decoration. If you are able to get to my front door I don’t care what you’re wearing or how you got there. You get a treat. Anyone elitist with this is literally helping to kill the spirit of Halloween. The holiday hardly exists, stop trying to kill it more.
Although no trick or treat involved, I feel the same about Christmas decorations in neighborhoods. When I moved to the states in my prep teen years, I remember the sheer amount of decorations everywhere and I was beautiful to see and experience. No if feels 1 out of 10 houses put up decorations. I’m not even a Christian and I enjoyed seeing them so I think of it as more cultural than religious
Nah man, that’s definitely weird. I stopped around 13-14. After that, my friends and I got together for parties.
She’s old enough to buy her own candy, it’s time to quit mooching and creeping out the neighbors.
Why though? Sure they’re old enough to buy their own but who cares if they’re having fun? You’re going to tell someone who put in effort to put on a costume no?
You sounds kind of grumpy, IMO. Who cares what other people do? In my opinion, being an adult is boring. Outside of work you only have a couple hours to yourself. Then there’s house work, eating, errands. You have to make time for fun.
Being grumpy is for young adults, I’m in my thirties and tonight I’m going to a live production of rocky horror and excited as fuck. If I had my fishnets and corset still, I’d wear them.
Oh, I’d so love to go for a Halloween show! That’s gonna be sick! My wife and I went a few months ago for my birthday. Talked to the head of the group after and they’re doing Shock Treatment soon!
Because there’s a socially acceptable acceptable age for some things… How would you feel if a fat, bearded, 40-something man like me came to your house trick or treating, no kids in tow, just me by my lonesome?
I’m not saying don’t have fun as an adult. God knows life is mundane enough. You want to dress up for Halloween? Go ahead! I know I will be! There’s just something off putting to me about adults going door to door begging for candy. I’m just saying it’s kinda weird.
Honestly, I’m of the same opinion as other people here. If you’re in a costume and yell “trick or treat” at my door, you get candy. I don’t judge people for shit, live your best life man.
Everyone has feelings, everyone has their own problems, and it feels good to be happy. If I can make anyone’s day a little bit better I will. If that means giving candy to a fat, bearded, 40-something man alone in a costume alone, take it brother.
Weird? sure, I get that too. Personally, I won’t go door to door for candy either, it’s not something I find fun. Will I gatekeep someone from having their definition of fun for… what ~$2? in candy I was going to give away otherwise? Nawh.
previously I think I would have said about 10-12 feels like the proper cutoff, but I took my 3.5 year old out tonight, and at one house she got a king size snickers bar while the teens after us got fun size. this feels the most fair.
If you show up to my house in a costume, you’re getting candy at any age.
Whether you like it or not.
And on any day of the year!

None.
Halloween isn’t really a thing here, but last year the elderly home organized a Trick or Treating event where everyone was invited, but it was mainly setup to give the elderly a fun activity.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen people enjoy dressing up for Halloween as much as they did.
12-13 in Europe.

The older you are, the more effort I expect. A kid can get away with a cape and a mask. If an older teen comes, I expect full costume, not everyday clothes. Adult? You better be rocking a great cosplay. Not that I’d refuse anyone, but I’ll be happiest giving treats to young children or people showing off really amazing effort in the costume department.
No age limit but costume required. At least put on your sister’s makeup or brothers overalls or saggy jeans, something. I have turned away kids without costumes but will candy anyone of any age who makes even the weakest attempt at a costume.
