    there should never be an age for that!! it all depends on your spirit! i think you'd still be able to get candy even if you're a granny (as long as you're dressed up well)

    i would have to agree with you. elders should not trick or treat but instead hand out candy. while for children up to high school kids, they should trick or treat as long as they have a costume or is dressed up.

    I really don't think there is an age. I don't trick or treat mostly because it seems a waste of time for me to walk around knocking on dorrs and stuff for candy when I can just go to the store. Especially when you hit those old ladies that give out pencils. lol I used to hate that. xD

    ^Lol wut? Pencils? Lol that's even worse then when I got pennies one year. Seriously >_>

    Anyway, I think after 14, you should stop. 15-16 is okay I guess, but at 17 I think that's where I would draw the line.

    there is an age where it starts to get awkward for an older teen to dress up and ask for candy. if your friends start to have costume parties in doors (and especially if there is alcohol involved), then it is time to stop trick-or-treating and go to those events instead.

    it's cool to go out with a younger sibling/cousin/friend/neighbour and wear a costume but not with friends...

    Those were some good thoughts unsmellable_stank. And if you're going to a costume party then be sure to take effort to dress up real nice. No one likes it when you show up and they can't even tell what you are >_> Plus it just makes you look lame in general.

    Well I stopped when I was like 16 cuz I was 2 lazy 2 beg for candy (lol..)

    But I have some friends now who are 18-22 who still trick or treat with masks on and no 1 knows how old they are.. they never get turned down candy 2 so.. it all depends if you feel like going out or not.

    (believe it or not, we have to work even on 12/25)

    Well it's a form of American culture I suppose so age shouldn't be of the matter here. Though personally it would be more appropriate if the age goes no higher than high schoolers. If some adults or elderly folks take the effort to dress up I wouldn't mind giving them candies though, afterall it is for a festive cause.
