With another Halloween in the books, it’s pretty safe to say that in Boston this year, the MBTA was the premier inspiration for locally-based costumes — and the Orange Line in particular.

You may have seen our pre-Halloween post collecting the costume homages to the Orange Line and the challenges its had staying, well, not on fire. We also also asked readers to submit their own photos, T-related or otherwise, and they did not disappoint.

See below for some of the shots readers shared, including several more MBTA efforts, some more generally Boston-related, and a few that are just plain spooky — or goofy.

Also, below you’ll find some more Boston-centric costumes that have turned up on social media since our last post. Frankly, we envy their creativity.
