When you get too cool for a costume.

On the other hand, I'm fat and don't want any candy left over, so I would rather the surly teens eat it.

Those words are English but that sentence doesn't make any sense.

When the "twenty-dumplings" hit (we used to call it "middle-aged spread").
On second thought, have some candy. I don't feel like stamping put flaming bags of dog poo on my porch this year.

Last time I lived in a neighborhood where trick or treaters showed up, I was about to shut off my light when a group of teenagers showed up. I was relieved, because I could dump all my candy on them and not feel bad about it. So I didn't have any left over to screw up my diet and the kids were thrilled.

When your great-grandkids decide to put you into a deathcamp *home.*

When you become a joyless asshole.

I've been a joyless asshole my entire adult life, regardless. The joys of working nights for almost 2 decades. I'm working during Halloween time, so it just passes me in the work-shift, and I vicariously live through internet posts.

If I ever get a day-off, I would sit in my garage blasting music and drinking and probably shiatposting on my phone. If you have a costume, you get candy.

If a kid is out of elementary school, he's too old.  So about 12 or 13.


I've quit turning my light on for Halloween.    It's too cold to sit outside to hand out candy and my dogs go absolutely bananas at any costumes that have a mask.  Not worth the aggravation.  I only got around 10 kids every year anyway.

I try to go with my kid every year. She generally gives me all the tamarind and chili candy that she accumulates.

Score?

Middle School, but with the exception of kids who have younger siblings and they are escorting them around. Really I don't care though you show up in costume and say trick or treat you get candy, Im not checking ID.

But you show up in no costume, and with a plastic bag, you get a roll of sweet tarts, and that's all

Kids, teens with siblings, parents with kids who need help with getting up our steps, even teens in costume(though less) get candy

We'd go to the big gay campground for Halloween...last year we got a cabin and the guys would have a 'cabin crawl' for 'trickor treat'...but mostly it was doing shooters and going around the campground on a HAaaaay Wagon.

We did a SciFI themed thing with me in a white jumpsuit and patches from the movie "ALIEN" and a big floppy dildo 'chest buster' with googly eyes, and the SO Rocking a Indiana Jones hat and brown leather and whip.

But for the drinks/candy...we mini snickers (because we're not savages)
and for the jello shooter we had little petri dishes, with jello vodka, boaboa balls and poprock toping.

I don't mind teens, as long as they put more effort into their costume than putting on a Yankee cap and saying their Aaron Judge.

We used to live in a townhouse neighborhood, and would get over 100 kids up until 9:00 when we turned out the lights. Now we live on a quiet street, getting a dozen or so kids. We give out full-sized bars; some of the younger kids get real excited 'cause they've never seen one so big, It seems like this year's full-sized is only half as large as last year.

It's for the kid to decide when they're too old. Eff any adult that can look at a kid in a costume and decide they're too old for Halloween. Where is your heart?

Nobody is too old for Halloween

Same as it is for everything else,

for kids and dudes it's when you stop being cute.

for women it's when you stop being hot.

I have a 6 foot tall, 21 year old kid that is already fixing his costume.  He's developmentally delayed and the last time he didn't go out, we got some calls worrying about him.

He's carrying a guitar case, so I'm thinking he's either Elvis, Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash.  My luck, he'll want to be GWAR.

Our culture has made it clear that no age is too old for doing things that were previously reserved for children.  So I'd go out on a limb and say that if you're 95 and still capable of Trick-or-Treating, then do it.

If the "kid" is a head taller than me, he's too old for trick or treat.  Instead he's a strange man wanting me to open my door at night.  Uh, no.

If you go to the effort of wearing a costume and walking around begging for candy, you're good. I don't necessarily think it's an age thing. Most people over the age of 21 have better things to do, but if you don't, I'm not Halloween shaming you.

If you're old enough to be thinking about it, you're too old to trick or treat.

Um, say it with me: TRICK or TREAT.
