Hate to break it to you... but you've got 2... maybe 3 more times left. After that the only trick or treating you'll be doing is either being the one handing out the candy, or walking with your kids to get them candy. In either case the candy is not going to you.
And if you do decide to go trick-or-treating when you're in your mid/late teens, then IMO you're either too oblivious to see that what you're doing is scumbag behavior... or you're so self-centered that getting free candy is more important to you than not being a scumbag. Either case does not speak well for you.
Old enough to drive = way too old to be going door to door expecting free stuff.
Granted you might not be quite there yet.... but you'll be there soon.

Yeah... There's no denying that Betty White is absolutely adorable.
We'll have to agree to disagree on whether or not non-children should be trick-or-treating.
I'm 21. I went trick or treating for parties. Find a party, show up, say "trick or treat" and hold up a case of brew.
Plus one to that. Halloween was so awesome there are significant portions of the night that I don't remember.
Haloween's turned into one insane party for me. Although I sort of miss the candy.

So you went to parties without being invited?
If you bring beer with you, you're generally welcome into parties (at least around where I'm from). Or if you have boobs, especially if you have boobs.

Ahhh misogyny
That's not exactly misogynystic, is it? It's sexist, that's for sure, but I would think that misogyny would be more along the lines of being turned away from a party (or being harassed in one) even if you have beer because you have boobs.
It's sexist indeed, but it's completely true. Boobs get special treatment, lol. I party with my fraternity a lot. I personally have no problem with bros coming around and partying, I'm just way more willing to let women come and drink my alcohol because lets face it, there's already quite a few guys there at the beginning of the night.
But that's not to say that I turn away every guy that comes around. If a dude shows up with a case of beer to play beer pong with, I sure as hell will let him in. It's the case contribution that makes me more willing to share my stash with him once he runs out.
Back on the original topic, though.
I've got some fond memories of Halloween. It's my parents' anniversary, so we always went hard on Halloween. Decorations and costumes and such to enjoy the day. Was a nice time to spend with the family.
