I think the last time I went trick-or-treating was when I was 9 or 10. My parents made it too much of a hassle (deliberately). I'd get home from school around 3:30, get into my costume, then I had about twenty minutes of trick-or-treating time before I had to get out of my costume and into church clothes to go to the 5:15pm All Saints' Day vigil Mass. (There was a 7:15pm vigil Mass as well, but my parents refused to consider going to it. Oddly enough, the year I stopped trick-or-treating, the 7:15pm Mass became acceptable to them.)
