It's the spookiest time of the year, and athletes across the sports world are taking advantage.

There has been no shortage of creative costumes. Across the NHL, or "National Halloween League," respective teams held their Halloween parties, and they didn't disappoint. Boston Bruins winger JJ Peterka dressed as King Julien from the "Madagascar" series. St. Louis Blues winger Jake Neighbours continued his tradition of dressing as a hot dog. New York Rangers teammates Adam Fox and Alexis Lafrenière and their respective partners had "Jersey Shore"-themed looks.

Arguably the best dressed was Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg, looking menacing as Michael Myers from the "Halloween" franchise.

Here is how some other stars got into the spooky season.
