Halloween Episodes

Michael spends the entire day procrastinating on firing someone while wearing a two-headed paper-mâché costume. It’s the ultimate cringe-fest as Devon eventually gets the axe, all while Dwight stalks around the office as a Sith Lord trying to lobby for his own job.

This episode is legendary for the 'too many Jokers' situation where Creed, Kevin, and Dwight all show up as the same Batman villain. Pam’s corporate experience also takes a turn for the worse when she realizes she is the only person in New York dressed up, spending her day as a very awkward Charlie Chaplin.

While the main plot centers on Michael falling into a fountain, the infamous Halloween cold open features a warehouse haunted house gone wrong. Michael takes his performance way too far by staging a fake suicide in front of terrified elementary schoolers, perfectly capturing his lack of boundaries.

The competition for a local coupon book reaches a fever pitch with some of the show's best costumes, like Gabe’s unsettling Lady Gaga and the debut of the Scranton Strangler. It’s a classic episode that mixes office costume politics with Michael’s growing resentment over Darryl’s career moves.

Erin goes overboard trying to throw a sophisticated party to impress Andy, which leads to a genuinely bizarre and creepy horror movie presentation. Robert California steals the show by wandering the office and tailoring a terrifying ghost story to each employee's deepest psychological fears.

Musical rivalries take center stage when Andy’s college a cappella group visits and sparks a feud with a pumpkin-headed Dwight. The costume game stays strong in the final season with Nellie’s spot-on impression of Toby and Oscar’s incredibly literal 'electoral college' outfit.
