Like produce, when it comes to costume season sometimes it’s best to shop local.

Here are eight Toronto-themed Halloween costumes we’ve gathered from around the internet.

Alleged beer tosser Ken Pagan
Full marks for this re-creation of Pagan, who was charged with mischief after he was ID’d as the suspect who threw a beer can onto the Rogers Centre surface during a Blue Jays playoff game.
Gotta hand it to @realsanders. This is pretty inspired. pic.twitter.com/OLSDqpdrFz

Auston Matthews as Ken Bone
Toronto Maple Leafs wunderkind Auston Matthews leaned on his American roots for Halloween, dressing up as Ken Bone, who’s best known as the man who asked a question during the second 2016 United States Presidential Election Debate. Teammate Peter Holland went as Donald Trump and a friend joined the party as Hillary Clinton.
