Legit? If you have a costume, youβre getting candy if you come to my house. Age has nothing to do with it.
If you show up you're getting candy.
Gave out a few full size snickers to adults today. Glad to have them come by!
You may have cheated death:
I'd rather teenagers be trick or treating than doing other stuff. If they come to my house they'll get candy for sure.
I guess, it becomes more unusual when you're old enough to buy your own candy. At that point, if you don't put effort in, it might come off to some neighbors like you're freeloading.
But as others said, if you put on a costume and you're clearly enjoying the process, maybe you even make it a friend group activity, then it's easy to believe that you're doing it for fun. It's not like you'd get rich off of freeloading candy in any scenario anyways.
At least 13, likely less than 19. Where you land is contextual to neighborhood and costume. And any age if you're with someone under 10.
If you can get a kid to tag along with, no age limit.
If you're gonna gatekeep Halloween, just turn off your light and be a cretin on your own. This ain't about you.
I was 17 on my last year of trick or treating. If I'm not old enough to sign up to go to war, I'm young enough to trick or treat.
