7th grade was my last year, but I'm amazed at how many older kids trick or treat now.

Probably 7th grade as well. Maybe 8th but I doubt it.

7 because we lived out in the country and my mom got tired of driving my sister and I to houses.

Same. I can only remember 2 or 3 years total that my mom drove us into town to T or T. I'd say oldest kid I saw tonight was probably a middle schooler. Had a lot of HS kids last year though

I grew up in the burbs and went full on t and t until 7th or 8th and then took my younger siblings around the neighborhood while I was in high school. Didn't really dress up or take a bucket, but still got candy. Most years we also did a block party. Those were the days.

6th grade was my last. Felt I was too old once I hit 12.

My take: I would rather give teenagers candy than have them out stirring up ****

We had some teens come by tonight, it was fine

Doesn't matter the age or if they even have a costume. Hell if an adult wants some candy they are getting some too. It's a fun holiday and life is too short to sweat the small stuff like who gets candy.

Stopped at 12 yrs old. After that, we either went to or hosted a Halloween party.

My grandmother loved throwing seasonal parties. My uncle owned the K&N Root Beer on S. 11th and Butternut in Abilene, TX. Gram used to dress up as the K&N witch and pass out candy to those coming in for a burger. Fun times!

Never did it. We lived in the country and the nearest houses were a couple miles away. My mom drove us to my grandparents' in our costumes once.

Maybe 7th grade? Think I'd take my little brother around for a couple years after that.
I really enjoy taking my kiddos trick or treating. My son was "too cool for school" and bailed with some other kids around his age (12) and my little one caught a stomach bug and exorcist style vomited most of the day, then at 7:30 magically felt better, so we dressed her up and let her hit a couple houses.

lame. We all know adults don't want candy. They want booze. We usually have a mixed drink on offer and some beers/white claw type drinks.

Only went to carnivals, never door to door thanks to the Deer Park psycho who killed his own kid with cyanide in pixie sticks and terrified a whole generation of H-town area parents in the 70s.

Never got to do real trick or treating. Lived out in the sticks with no neighbors.

Last year was 5th or 6th grade. I remember going to a party (but not trick or treating) in 7th grade.

12 or so, though when I was 15 me and a buddy made some crappy improvised costumes and scrounged up a couple of buckets and hit a couple of streets in his neighborhood for a quick free junk food fix. We were at least enthusiastic, even if pathetic.

Never too late.

I would, but that would trigger the OP in the Halloween decorations thread.

We have a few houses that have coolers of beer for parents. That's why I like walking with my kiddos

I stopped after 6th grade when this 30 something year old brunette invited me in and proceeded to open her robe to show me her pink bra and panties. I figured that treat could never be beat.

Probably 4h or 5th grade. I would have kept doing it but my dad thought it was for little kids and he wanted us to act our age.

I let my kids do it past that age. I guess it's a small way of rebelling against my parents for trying to make us grow up so fast.

I wouldn't give candy to some adults. Like the Jackhole who beat up that poor woman teacher who complained about video games

In about 8th grade it changed from trick or treating to bag snatching. It was part of the circle of life in the Valley.

From that article:
O'Bryan was shunned and despised by his fellow death row inmates for killing his child and was "absolutely friendless". The inmates reportedly petitioned to hold an organized demonstration on O'Bryan's execution date to express their hatred of him.

A few years back I ghostwrote the autobiography of a guy who was wrongfully imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit and was on Death Row in San Quentin for a number of years. He said that when they brought Scott Peterson in, the prison guards "forgot" that he was supposed to go right to Death Row and walked him through the general population to let those guys get a look at him and scream him down first.
