Axios Salt Lake City readers share their Halloween rules

By the numbers: About 56% of respondents said 9pm is too late to knock on doors for candy. Around 24% said after 10pm was too late, followed by 18.5% who said 8pm.

• Giving away two pieces of candy per kiddo was standard for about 44.5% of survey takers, compared with 24% who said three was acceptable. About 7.5% said children can take as many pieces as they want.
• Most readers said teenagers ages 13-15 were too old to knock on doors, while others expressed that age is just a number if visitors are costumed.

Readers also shared their wisdom and takes on candy and the holiday itself:

What you're saying: "I feel like the majority of Halloween candy is merely filler," one survey taker said. "Who actually is eating Whoppers and I've never heard of ANYONE excited about those little mini licorice things. We have to do better."

• "I just miss when trick or treating was a big deal like in the 90s," a nostalgic reader said.

• "Any one in a costume should get candy no matter how old they are. We are all a kid at heart."
• "Only go to houses with outdoor lights on."
• "If you leave candy out in a bucket with no one watching it, don't be offended when one group takes it all."

The bottom line: Be respectful, and remember to have fun!

• Pro tip: You might want to bundle up as well. The Thursday night forecast shows lows in the mid-30s with a chance of rain.
