What age is too old to dress up for Halloween?

JerryHandbag

I'm nearly 32 FFS, and my mate is harrassing me to go to this party and get all costumed up...and hes even older than me. Am I wrong here? Am I a bit of a square? Do I really need to surround myself with a few dozen Heath Ledgers Jokers in my advancing years??

I'm half way to the pension for Christ sake

Dudess

31 and three quarters.

Nah, I don't think there should be an age limit tbh.

I know this one bloke, he wears this kind of Ghost cape all the time. He's in his 70s. Stands at the front of this church building telling ghost stories.

You're never too old

Between 14 and 17 3/4 you should not dress up for halloween, all other Ages are fair game!!!

Cupcake_Crisis

Ill never not dress up for Halloween!!! Its my favourite of time of year

DevilsBreath

Never to old. Sure ya'll be all dressed up when they put you in the ground so why stop.

MizzLolly

Never!!! You are never too old to dress up for Halloween.

Away with that Heathenish talk, away!!!

Volter

I don't think should be a age limit.
You are never too old to dress up for Halloween.

If my parents dressed up for Halloween, I'd subsequently join the priesthood.

Mayoegian

For goodness sake, you're 32! You'll be looking back in 10 years time and realise how young you were!

bluto63

Just dress up, what's the harm in it?

Dartz

Whatever age you die.

6 is too old... if you were a 5 year old who died of leukemia.

I know someone who is 50+ and the only reason she is not dressing up to go out is because her sister-in-law is in town and they are going out to dinner in a restaurant and there would be no time to go back to the house to change!

Don’t dress up then OP be the guy who just came in their ordinary clothes I'm sure everyone will think your very mature and obviously much more sophisticated then they are...

On the other hand they may think you are boring, grumpy and unimaginative. Your call.



P.S. Most things don’t stop being fun just because you get older.

There's no age limit to dressing up!

I'll always take advantage of the one day of the year where acting like a freak is acceptable!

ella87

There is nothing finer in this world than getting boozey in the company of a 6 ft banana, Ronald MacDonald, the Pope, Duff-Man a few pirates and Little Bo Peep.

Fancy dress boozing ftw.

I took it 3 ways and im still not sure how

Ohhhh fuck that sounds wrong

Dress clever to match your age and also in easily disposable attire so you can quickly take it off and pretend you know nothing about it and keep your dignity. My easy get out of jail (and I too am a grown up, with a couple of years on the OP) is: buy an old ladies slip in a charity shop (wear it over your jeans) and pick up a fake beard. Turn up as a Fraudian Slip.

Once i passed 20, that was my costume days over.

Besides, Halloween is just another excuse for young Irish lads to get sloshed out of their faces and act like the neanderthal apes they really are. And for a good deal of the girls, another opportunity to dress like wannabe sluts.

Well you sound fun.:rolleyes:

Its the truth though, every year they walk around the local dressed like school girls, the lads just get hammered as usual and make comments at them all night.

OP, you should don a costume and head to the party. You're never too old for fancy dress!
( Just don't attempt to go trick-or-treating , that would be a bit weird:rolleyes: )

I am living abroad at the mo, where Halloween is not very well known and I am raging I don't have a chance to dress up this year.

I'm dressing up as a school girl tonight - there'll be three of us dressed the same - the eldest being 36. Seriously, wannabe sluts? Yeh, cos everyone wants to be a slut. I'm a married woman ffs having a bit of fun!

Lads will get hammered any night of the year and comment on girls in short skirts, what's different about halloween :pac:

Personally, the whole dressing up thing freaks me out a little, this will be the first year I've ever gone outside dressed up since I was a kid (been to two house parties) but only cos I'm a bit shy. You're never too old for anything dude! Just ask this guy :pac:

Twin-go

For me (31) All Hallows Eve is not really a major holiday so, I normally Dress Down.

gurramok

aged 34 here, dressing up as well. All this lark about been too old to dress up is a load of baloney, i've seen oul-ones and oulfella's dressed up before as the likes of pirates, Arabs and draculas etc, they looked good dressed up for their ages.

After all, its for fun and enjoy it!

happyfriday

I plan on doing it every year till I die. I love the fact that you can be anything you want to be for a night, it's fun you can never be to old for fun!!

Lux23

About 75 because lets face it you probably won't need to dress up to frighten anyone.

14 or so is too old to go "trick or treating", but you're never to old to dress up for the fun.

The best thing is: now that I'm older, I can afford the good costumes, get into bars, and have fun.

As long as your not going out trick r treating at 32 then whats the harm! One year a local guy came to our door just dressed in a denim jacket and jeans and said "Trick or "Treat!" - He was probly late 20's!

I'm getting dressed up as a Muslim terrorist!! I'l be wearing a burka, strapping a (fake) bomb to my middle and running around Cork shouting 'Allah Akbar'. So no, I don't find that offensive.

Just hoping that I don't meet any Muslims tomorrow night:cool:

PS- I'm a 31yr old female, and I don't think I'm too old to dress up, although my 12yr old daughter is mortified on my behalf
