In your opinion, what's the age limit for Trick r Treating?
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.
Halloween is all but dead in my area, Seattle Washington. Only pockets of neighborhoods put up decoration. If you are able to get to my front door I don’t care what you’re wearing or how you got there. You get a treat. Anyone elitist with this is literally helping to kill the spirit of Halloween. The holiday hardly exists, stop trying to kill it more.
Although no trick or treat involved, I feel the same about Christmas decorations in neighborhoods. When I moved to the states in my prep teen years, I remember the sheer amount of decorations everywhere and I was beautiful to see and experience. No if feels 1 out of 10 houses put up decorations. I’m not even a Christian and I enjoyed seeing them so I think of it as more cultural than religious
previously I think I would have said about 10-12 feels like the proper cutoff, but I took my 3.5 year old out tonight, and at one house she got a king size snickers bar while the teens after us got fun size. this feels the most fair.
I want to make a house costume, so I can dress like a house, I will go to the doors, and make them knock on my little door, and I’ll open it with puppets to give out candy
A UK sub asked this question recently. Their answer was teenagers. Apparently they are afraid of groups of teens. Therefore only primary age kids should go.
Why though? Sure they’re old enough to buy their own but who cares if they’re having fun? You’re going to tell someone who put in effort to put on a costume no?
You sounds kind of grumpy, IMO. Who cares what other people do? In my opinion, being an adult is boring. Outside of work you only have a couple hours to yourself. Then there’s house work, eating, errands. You have to make time for fun.
Being grumpy is for young adults, I’m in my thirties and tonight I’m going to a live production of rocky horror and excited as fuck. If I had my fishnets and corset still, I’d wear them.
Oh, I’d so love to go for a Halloween show! That’s gonna be sick! My wife and I went a few months ago for my birthday. Talked to the head of the group after and they’re doing Shock Treatment soon!
Because there’s a socially acceptable acceptable age for some things… How would you feel if a fat, bearded, 40-something man like me came to your house trick or treating, no kids in tow, just me by my lonesome?
I’m not saying don’t have fun as an adult. God knows life is mundane enough. You want to dress up for Halloween? Go ahead! I know I will be! There’s just something off putting to me about adults going door to door begging for candy. I’m just saying it’s kinda weird.
Honestly, I’m of the same opinion as other people here. If you’re in a costume and yell “trick or treat” at my door, you get candy. I don’t judge people for shit, live your best life man.
Everyone has feelings, everyone has their own problems, and it feels good to be happy. If I can make anyone’s day a little bit better I will. If that means giving candy to a fat, bearded, 40-something man alone in a costume alone, take it brother.
Weird? sure, I get that too. Personally, I won’t go door to door for candy either, it’s not something I find fun. Will I gatekeep someone from having their definition of fun for… what ~$2? in candy I was going to give away otherwise? Nawh.
Anyone of any age can dress up and not have it be weird… but trick-'r-treating? Anything over 12 is just fucking weird to me. I’m instantly sus of any adult doing it (unless they have a kid with them).
