I remember being highly dissapointed in the summer of 1984 when I turned 13 and grew about a foot. I had purchased, designed, and made my own costume that fall, and planned on going trick-or-treating one last time as a SWAT team member.
My parents informed me that at 5'10", 175 lbs, and walking around in a dark uniform, that I would most likely be mistaken for a burglar rather than a trick-or-treater.
So, I believe 12 should be the cut-off, or whenever the child has matured physically or emotionally enough to make candy givers cringe. I had some high schoolers show up to my house last year, and they didn't even bother to dress up! I gave them candy anyway, because I'm a nice guy, but they should have at least gone to a Party City or something to buy an inexpensive adult costume, and perhaps gotten together with some younger siblings, or cousins, etc.
With the increase of child predators, however, I would find an "alternative" halloween event, such as trick-or-treating in the mall, which usually welcomes all ages, or a church or civic Halloween party.

I always thought the limit was 13. If you're thirteen its time to move on to other Halloween fun. Watch horror movies at a slumber party or something.
I always thought it was actually a law that trick or treating was for 12 and under.

This isn't a magic age question.
Some of it depends on your maturity level, the neighborhood, and other factors. If you really want to go trick or treating, try volunteering to go with a younger sibling or a neighbor who is smaller.
I'd go with what your parents tell you they feel is right. They might even suggest throwing a Halloween party at home.

Stop trick or treating when you don't have a real costume. The only thing that adults hate is the pretentious teen that doesn't have a real costume. If you do have a good one then we may give out more candy to you. It's all about presentation.
