    I beg to differ. You, at 18, have outgrown trick-or-treating.

    Can you still dress up and Halloween and have fun? Sure! But anyone taller than me who shows up at my door for candy that is taller than me gets a hard time. It hasn't happened in years, not since we moved to this neighborhood. But in the last place we lived, a couple times kids who towered over me (I am 5'6") came to the door, they got asked how old they were, were embarrassed to give me the answer, and got one small piece of candy each (everybody else got three).

    The reason everyone is concerned, is you mentioned "hiding from police," which means you are intending to do something illegal, maybe vandalism at the very least. And you know what? Real emergencies that require police presence do happen, even in a "hick town," and I hope the force is not preoccupied with you to the detriment of someone else's safety or well-being. There are plenty of fun things you can do without breaking the law.

    As a dispatcher, I have to agree with everyone else. You are old enough to surely know that it's not cool to be hiding from the police. We get many calls involving juveniles and that does tie up the units from responding to other calls. Things like kids playing on the phone. If we get 911 hangups, they are considered emergencies and the officers are pulled off of other calls to respond. Sounds like you might be up for a little criminal mischief or something? Not a good idea unless you want to get into trouble. Or maybe you want to wear prison orange?

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Not any more. I stopped when I was 10, and before then I just went because my parents wanted me to (well, mostly my dad so that he could have my candy..lol - I'm not a candy type of person, never have been.). I'm not a fan of halloween really, and don't dress up or hand out candy either. I used to hand out candy, but I couldn't stand the amount of (rude) teens showing up at the door, I only did it for the really young kids because it made them happy.

    I LOVE Halloween! I look forward to it every single year. I dress up every Halloween and take my daughter and brother trick-or-treating. Last year I was a witch, I'm not sure what I will be dressing up as this year.

    Ahh, Halloween~~~~

    I miss being a little kid and eagerly looking forward to all the free goodies!!!

    I've noticed, in the past five years or so, that it is evolving into a major event.

    Halloween lights, parties, cards----etc.


    I never get trick or treaters out here in the country. So, I buy candy and give it to my daughter who receives way to many !!!



    Not a real fan either , I do enjoy the novelty ~~~~ but my Husband loves to watch Those Scarey Movies
    that spook the living snot out of me!!!!!!

    I've been too old to trick or treat for years, but I still love dressing up! I usually either go to a party or out to my favorite bar dressed up on halloween. This year I'll be in Vegas during the Halloween weekend so we are planning on dressing up, but I have no clue yet what I'm wearing.
    I've been Defrosted!

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I grew up not being allowed to participate in halloween, I was not allowed out, not allowed to dress up, or go to the haunted houses at school, or allowed to hand out candy. when I started high school I was finally allowed to hand out candy to those who came to the door, but I was NOT allowed to turn on the light to let anyone know they were allowed. the following year when I was 16 I was allowed to go trick or treating for the first time in my life, and I have gone every year since. I will be 19 just before this halloween and I would still be able to go out without a single questioning look if I wanted too, why? same reason the theater hands me child tickets when I tell them I am an adult, and restraunts dont even ask, they just hand me the 12 and under menu, and I can go to the fair tell then I am a child and get in at half the price without so much as a second look while people who really DO classify as "child" get raised eyebrows lol I dont look older then 14, it annoys the heck out of me, but its real helpfull at times

    I haven't been trick-or-treating in a long time, but I still do like to dress up (ok, Eric is the big fan of Halloween, but it's fun!). And of course I hand out candy and eat whatever's left over!!!

    One year we entered a costume contest with the dogs, and Eric & Adele won for scariest costumes (they were devils). Not sure what we'll do this year.

    i'm glad to see some people are planning thigs for Halloween! it can be a lot of fun. i feel you can never out grow trick or treating. if you are older than 20 and still go trick or treating, hats off to ya for staying young and having fun!

    we aren't so inmature that we make prank calls to the police. that is real childish. i'm talking TPing people's houses and the school yard. soaping windows, etc. we don't tear anything up or hurt anyone.

    Last year I bought a panther costume and took the stuffing out of it, and put white paint down the front. I looked just like Jenny. ( Yes, that was my plan )

    A lot of the time, people would refuse to give me candy. Because I got driven into town for halloween. I sort of agree with those people, kids shouldn't get driven into a different place for halloween, they should walk around their neighbour hood. I would have to walk a long time though, because the closest house is about 30 miles away. My dad would drop me and a friend off and we would walk around a little neighbourhood together. That was really fun.

    But if the police are responding to these calls, you are taking them away from more serious issues.

    I'm 17, I'm not sure if I will be going out this year; trick or treating. If I don't, it will be my first year ever not going. I really love all the candy and trying to see how long it lasts - but maybe I'll go all out on my house this year with something really spooky and dress up to hand out candy!

    I don't know if it's me, but it seems each year there have been less and less kids out!
