Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
Heres the deal..I am 31 and now have to find someones kid to take with me so i don't look like a weirdo trick or treating. I love it though and dont think there should be an age restriction! As long as you dress up and are respectful I think its totally fine. When I do give out candy, I have to say i hate all these older teenagers who come to the door without a costume (or some cheesy thing like street clothes and a fake knife) and have an attitude like the world owes them candy. Again if you are dressed up and enjoying it go for it

- haha..im going to be a penguin
Man, i was like 12 and some lady told me I was too old to be doing that. That was the last time I went. She spoiled it for me. (And I did have a costume)... sigh... life.
lol @ " like the world owes them candy"
Hey, Thanks for the idea, Lisafur! I'm going to steal my brother's toddler for a few hours and get myself some candy!
not really.
Well Allannah, your missing out.. Miss -Im too mature. ;)
man i wish my parents were flexible about it. they won't let me collect candy T_T
No =D Dont lose your childish features! Im only 13 so i guess i shouldnt talk ^^'
I'm 17 (turning 18 this year) and am still going trick-or-treating. :D
I once dressed up as a giant cradboard GameBoy Color that I made myself. I once dressed up as Pikachu. I'm 18 years old and I am still unable to ditch the costumes. I believe that you outgrow breathing long before you outgrow childhood traditions if that's what you truly loved deeply as a kid.
Get a nice costume and I'll gladly give you candy! I've seen older kids dressed as toothpaste, fridges, candy bars, and all sorts of things. Halloween isn't just for kids. If you take the time to make a cool costume, you deserve the candy.
you are never too old to do anything, being young in spirit and in mind and in heart is the key to a long happy life , go trick and treating , pull out a costume and make life worth living.
I was Amy Whinehouse, with tats. I sorta look like hr The year before I was Lindsay Lohan with a bronze face (literally), a wrapped arm, and a "Twelve Steps" fake book, which I made. You should be more creative with your costume as you age. The store ones are ridiculously expensive w/cheap material
I stopped when I was 17. Too many rude comments from residents. Saying that I'm too old for trick or treating. My last time was at age 16. I'm 21 now, never did it again.
Some areas have age limits to trick or treating, so be aware of that. I know my hometown 'suggests' age 12 as the end of trick or treating, however anyone older who wishes to trick or treat must be accompanying smaller children and the treat givers don't have to give you anything. It's their choice.
hmm i think if youre taking some ones kid or maybe your kid brother it should be okay man your making me wanna dress up owwwwwwwwwnnnnnn :D
I went last year and I was 21, going on 22. Have fun!
im scared of penguins O.o
I'm 28, going on 29 and I still dress up to hand out candy. :-)
pinguie :)
A yea! I stopped trick or treating when I was 13. Dont go trick or treating, thats just retarded. No offense.
haha, excellent. Halloween owns :D too bad I'm not rich enough to buy a costume and not smart enough to know how to make my own >.< Woe is me! lolz
IM GOING AS QUAGMIRE AND I WILL TRICK AND FRIKIN TREAT AND IM 21 WOOHOOOOO I WANNA ENJOY MY LIFE SIMPLE AS THAT.
BY THE WAY GIGGIGRY GIGGRY GIGRY GOOOOOOO.
never too old for free candy :D
naww my parents still trick or treat so I know that you can!
lol..I just was thinking about my cousin(we around the same age) and I took her son trick or treatin.. she has a daughter that was 15-16 at the time, was told 2 stay in the house and give out candy. but she said the hell with that and went trick or treatin, she got in trouble but it was so funny!!

You are too old to go alone. You will in fact look like a wierdo, but you can chaperone kids in the local community no problem and get candy along with them.
Free candy, enough said.
If your by yourself that's kinda weird, but I really wouldn't worry about it (: Just be yourself.
For Heaven's sake, we should at least get free candy on Halloween, regardless of how old we are! FREE CANDY, why wouldn't you go?
Your never to old to Trick OR Treat! (:
Trick or treat with a mask. That way you can trick them. lol
I am 49 and I never miss a chance to go. This will be the first year without my kids. Maybe I'll find some friends kids to take me..................
no, it's really annoying when teens do it, and that's coming from a fourteen year old. I stopped when I was twelve. People buy candy on halloween to give out to the cute little kids, not the teens, that's just stealing candy.
your never to old to go trerk or treeting as long as u where a costunme
Yes, you're too damn old. I'm embarrassed for anyone over the age of 12 who shows up at my door. Where's your self respect?

My town now has an age restriction. Their complaint was that since there were so many older kids out, they'd run out of candy quicker. Now, Halloween in my town always looks dead.
Im 18 and im planning on going..Like you said free candy is too good to pass up!
WOW! Ive never seen sooo many thumbs up and thumbs down and soo many votes for interesting to such a simple question good job, & no one is ever too old to to trick or treat so enjoy "Happy Halloween"
I think, that you just have to dress up awesomely. I also found, the better you dress up, the more candy you get.
i'm going to trick or treat even when I'm 100 years old... I'll be the wheelchair monster
If you go only to people's houses whom you know and who will appreciate it, then maybe you could get away with it, but for most people, having an adult show up at their door after dark is pretty frightening. I was 12 when I was told by the neighbors that I was too old, and I was short looked young.
Really...trick or treating is for kids. You know a big bag of candy cost four bucks. If you want to dress up just go to a party. Just tryin' to be honest...
I'm going this year and I'm gonna do what my Aunt showed me. Wear all black and buy 2 cheap masks then hit up the same house twice...SCORE!!!
You're never too old to go trick or treating. (: Halloween is the best holiday all year. Sometimes I dress up on Christmas and go around to people's houses...
no. you can see this site: http://www.nikeairmaxusa.com or http://www.ebayuggboots.com , take it easy guy
lmao this question is wonderful, esp because of best answer.
I think if you're old enough to be on the computer alone writing this, then you are too old for trick-or-treating. If you want candy, why don't you just go to the local CVS and buy some? They usually have sales on all sorts of candy. Cheers. A penguin? Really...? *double face palm*
Sage don't be a betch.
Sahara, don't let anyone tell you different. If you are dressed up legit and respectful, having a good time, then do trick-or-treating. You have to let the inner child come out of you sometime or you will end up like the bag above me, rude, crotchety, and not pleasant.

anybody coming up to my door looking older then 12 gets a dog turd
I am going trick-or-treating and I love dressing up. I'm gonna be a toddler. I'll still dress up when I'm an adult and hand out candy.
I asked the same question when I was 13, and that was how I found Yahoo! Answers!
Personally, ever since I was 13, have always felt that once you're old enough to drive, you're too old for trick-or-treating. I have stayed true to that, and last year (15) was my final year for trick-or-treating.

Well if you enjoy something and you're not causing any harm then to hell with any one who says no, go and enjoy your self, U do it for you and not to conform to others views.but I would not go over the age 12 Unless I was an escort And I would dress up to get into the spirit, no age limit 4 fun
yes after 13 you should be getting laid pathetic losers that still trickortreat after 13
in my town there was a law enforced age limit
umm id never trik or treat @ 15 y/o
All you need is a kid to go with so you don't look weird. You're never too old to trick or treat. You just need a kid to tag along. And if teens dressed in street clothes go up to you asking for candy, saying that they're gangsters or rappers, give them Rocks.
wow. some of you are grumpy. i'll give the candy to anyone who comes to my door. and when i take my daughter trick or treating i leave the bowl outside. surprisingly the kids are respectful and don't empty the whole thing. lol!! i'm not stingy with the candy though!! so come on over!
hey get a life you shouldn't still be trick or treating at age 31. thats just SAD
I totally agree with this. I went around with friends last year in a costume. I had no intention of asking for candy but ended up with some any ways just because some people just enjoy handing it out.
Cont....
I don't really care much for the free candy, as you could end up with the same ammount of candy for 1/10th of the price you spent on the costume.

There is no such thing as too old!
i dont think there is a age limit for trick or treating so go for it if you want to

I am 23 years old, and I am going to "help" my sister with my niece and nephew when we go trick-or-treating. I don't think there should be an age restriction as long as you wear appropriate attire, and are respectful.
No, there shouldn't be an age restriction.. unless you go round my house 2 weeks before halloween and egg my house when you don't even know me, like some tw@ts did from somewhere up my street. :l I don't like halloween now. Thank god I'll be at my dad's top floor flat on saturday.. away from them. x
NEVER TOO OLD!
I'm 14 and all of my friends still go trick-or-treating!
It's just rotten if you don't have a costume though.
I go with my cousin in college and we have a lot of fun.

- I'm almost 19 and I still go. It's all part of the fun, I think when I hit 20 I'll probably stop, but as long as they keep handing out candy I'm up for it lol.
Source(s):
Me - I don't think there's any age limit. As long as you have fun going door to door, why not? (Though I don't go trick or treating myself, I still love to dress up and pass out candy to the kids. I love it!)
- when i was in high school i did the halloween thing with a girl, it was a great opportunity for a unique date.
- as long as i get candy i don't care im 16 and i still do it! Happy Halloween!
- ha ha no when my sis was 18 she was walking me to the houses but not getting candy and all of them told her to come and get some candy lol
- sure, why not? Go have fun!!
- I will still go trick or treating until the people won't give me anymore candy
