How do you judge if someone is too old to be dressing up and going door to door? Do you tell them to fata off and risk being egged?
What is a standard hand out?
I have a couple of boxes of candy bars and was thinking 2-3 candy per kid, maybe a little bit more for the younger ones or those who put in a good effort with their costume.
How do you handle the trick or treaters?

my wife and i generally turn off the front lights by 7:45pm. part of the reason is that my wife is a teacher and she doesn't really like her students knowing where we live and the fact that we find that most of the little kids have been thru by then.
we have a hard time giving candy out to teenagers... they can go out, get a job and buy their own candy! ha!
we usually give out 2 of whatever it is we have to each kid
have you talked to your neighbours to see what kind of numbers to expect? my parents are lucky if they get 10 kids at their place. i think we had maybe 40 last year. i know at our last house we had 200+ kids.
