Perhaps nothing screams more “Boston” than MBTA transit woes, anything Dunkin’ Donuts related, and our infamous signs and landmarks. 

And this Halloween proved just that. 

Bostonians got creative this year and showcased many inventive Boston-themed costumes to celebrate the haunted holiday. 

While there was a range of creativity, many costumes centered around the city’s troubled transit agency, the MBTA, and other transit-related Boston phenomena such as getting “Storrowed.” 

Some opted to dress as iconic Boston landmarks, while others chose to go as their favorite New England artist.

From the DunKings to the Citgo sign, here’s a look at some of the best Boston Halloween costumes of 2024:
