“I would say 19 to 20 is too old unless you have a little cousin or something. Then I wouldn’t be mad. I feel like if you still dress up then it wouldn’t be weird because no one’s really gonna know how old you are.”
Samantha Weber, East senior


“The end of middle school, so around 14. That’s right before they turn into teenagers and they’re considered delinquents because they go to high school. And I feel like if you’re in high school, a lot of people turn their heads or close their doors and don’t let you trick or treat.”
Abriena Koeper, East senior


“I think 15 because I think trick-or-treating is like a little kid activity. If you wanted to get some candy you could just buy some.”
Izaihla Moore, East ninth grader


“Once you have a kid you’re too old to trick-or-treat, because like it’s so weird about giving you candy. So, I’d say high school, unfortunately, even though I’ve been trick-or-treating up until my junior year.”
Clayton Wojtalewicz, West sophomore


“If you’re a guy, probably when you have a beard. If you have a beard and you’re trying to get some candy out here, that’s a little much. But otherwise probably 16 or 17 years old.”
Layla Deremiah, West ninth grader


“I think 14, maybe 15 at the max. It depends on how mature you are. If you’re immature then maybe don’t.”
Brooklyn Douglas, West ninth grader
