    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 :p

    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

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

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

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
