In my area, it is less age and more size. Someone that is large scares more people than a small person. I was large so stopped early, but a small woman with a mask could go quite a long time.
As a timid tall person, this comment hit me in the feels. I don't like being intimidating, but there's not much I can do about it. And so many people comment about my height like it's a great thing, but sometimes I just want to be small.
Go as a tree. People will love it.
When I was 18, I took my little brother trick or treating. I'm short (and a woman), he's tall. Everyone asked him if he was too old to be out, but nobody questioned me.
