Can anyone come up with a good reason why trick-or-treating should be limited to young kids?
When are the older folks finally going to dress up and go from door to door? I say it's about time to do it!
For the older people you will have to give more appropriate treats: paper money, cell phones, jewelry, bottles of alcohol, gift cards, etc.

If you are old enough to obtain a driver's license you are too old to "trick-or-treat", IMO. Adults go to Halloween costume parties, not "trick-or-treating", including senior citizens.

"Should Senior Citizens Go Trick-Or-Treating?"

Admit it Visvaldis, you want justification so you can go door to door.

Guess the goodies from Uncle Sam are not enough for you.

That the OP finds this fit material for the Politics Forum tells me I'd be wasting my time answering this. It's a silly question anyway.

I don't see why not? But they have to walk, that's the only stipulation---you can't go house to house on your Rascal scooter...

I'll stock up on low-cost Canadian prescription drugs to give out as treats if this ever becomes a trend.

Of course, they go to the parties...after trick-or-treating.

My folks live in a small retirement community, that would actually be sweet! They would have to go while it was still light out though.
