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.

    18/20 because after that you ought to be able to be a candy-giver. This whole thing only works if we have enough candy-givers, and too late of a cutoff age skews the balance.

      I’ve heard of people doing both on the same night. Some people like seeing costumes and some like wearing them. It doesn’t matter how old you are, do what you’d like and it will balance out.

        Is there some rule I wasn’t aware of that you must own a home in order to give out candy on Halloween?

        At 18, you presumably live SOMEWHERE. Nothing stopping you from giving out candy at that residence.

        Note: this is not an endorsement that you shouldn’t be allowed to trick or treat at 18. Simply pointing out that your specific argument is bullshit.
