I'd vote 18. Full costume is nice, teens walking around just to get free candy isn't as fun. But the teens (that dress up) often have the best costumes.
I remember Trick or Treating until 16-ish.
ETA: we had friendly neighbors - they never cared. I don't remember if we went to a lot of stranger's houses in high school. But I wouldn't have gone out without a real costume either. Culturally, quite accepted in our neighborhood. I think in a neighborhood filled with young kids, it may be less accepted. Not the case for me - my neighborhood was filled with teens. Which maybe changes things a bit. Our neighborhood right now, is filled with wee ones. But I don't mind the teens, personally. They are polite and their costumes are a crack up.
