I guess, it becomes more unusual when you're old enough to buy your own candy. At that point, if you don't put effort in, it might come off to some neighbors like you're freeloading.

But as others said, if you put on a costume and you're clearly enjoying the process, maybe you even make it a friend group activity, then it's easy to believe that you're doing it for fun. It's not like you'd get rich off of freeloading candy in any scenario anyways.
