Half the fun of Halloween is coming up with a creative (and hopefully weather appropriate) costume for you or your group to wear. As usual, the good people of Boston didn’t disappoint. After all, just being a young and cute trick or treater only works for so long.

Here are some of our favorite get ups from around the city this year:
