Hey, you can always volunteer to take some neighborhood kids trick or treating. That way, you get to look responsible, yet still enjoy it. Have fun :-)

P.S. Witches & Vampires costumes are always easy to make

GO FOR IT! Kids from my college go, and I went myself until I turned 18. What other day can you be someone else entirely? Well, okay, maybe any day, but go trick-or-treating anyway.

Just go, or if you don't go to a party and then to Wal-Mart the day after and buy all the 1/2 priced candy.

I am confuse about trick or treat. I don't like the idea of asking complete strangers (as some of the people must be) for sweets or throwing eggs at the houses of innocent people.

Maybe it's just me. (Does being English make a difference?)

Here in the US, people start tricking treating very young (one of the trick or treaters who stopped by my door was so little, his mom was carrying him), so they get used to it early. For safety reasons, people generally hand out pre-wrapped candy & kids are told not to eat anything that's not wrapped.

Personally, I never got into egg throwing and that sort of thing. When I got too old to trick or treat, I'd take the neighbors' younger kids around. By the mid-teens or so, it's more costume parties or just parties in general.
