How old is too old to trick or treat?

Ah, well, perhaps there are some more populated areas near there that you could go with candy and do it that way.

Thank you, that is a good idea!

I'm good with any age...however, you better be dressed up, or atleast an attempt.
The High School kid wearing normal clothes with a Walmart bag isn't gonna cut it.

If you're still doing it after your 7th birthday, you have failed to grow emotionally or intellectually.

I feel like 12 and then maybe a for the lolz in college is probably fine.

Every year I get a couple of older kids, meaning 16 or 17, but most are younger. I think 13 is the cutoff.

I don't trick or treat anymore, yet this statement remains true for me.

Just don't sit there in a van, handing out candy!

Ah, but is that a costume at this point, or is it your true identity?

Eleven. The holiday is for kids enjoying the thrill of dressing up in costumes and hauling in as much candy as possible.

Six-graders and up have graduated to the pre-teen and teen level of personal maturity. Eighteen-year-olds and/or adults should accompany their siblings/kids trick-or-treating but they should be given automatic looks of derision if they knock at your door wanting candy too.

Halloween parties for adults are okay though. Grown folks can have fun on the holiday too, lol.

The way I see it, if you're below the age of being able to receive a paycheck, and your parents can't or won't buy candy, go ahead and cut holes in their sheets and wear 'em.

They usually think its not cool anymore when they become teenagers.

I'm a few hours ahead of most of you. Had about 40 kids call so far - running out of candy!

High school is too old. That being said, I get high school trick or treaters every year at my house.

 

[zrinkill]

If ya have to ask if your to old to trick or treat ......... then you are to old to trick or treat.

12. At 13 it's middle school age.

I agree a bunch of high school kids came to the door and I was officially done after that. It’s one thing answering for the kid’s dressed up but the older ones, half of them have no costume on. I’m not a fan of Halloween to begin with but no house wants to see the high school aged kids. Time to call it a day at that point.

If dem sexy College girls knock on my door, I don't mind. The candy is in the cellar though and they have to come down and pick it up there.

It's easier to drive to the campus, find a trashy vampire, and say "Trunk or Treat!"

It turns out our local paper had an article in it yesterday with the same title as this thread. A survey was taken and the average age for those surveyed as 13.5.

Yesterday We had some older kids show up later in the evening. The kids we had come here were mostly 12-14 year olds I think.
