A Complete List of 'The Office' Halloween Episodes
No one does Halloween like Michael Scott.
Halloween can be spooky, but it doesn't have to be scary! If you need help understanding what we mean, just watch the Halloween episodes of The Office! The series is the epitome of comic relief—and that's made evident in how they turn the eeriest holiday into wholesome, witty humor. While you begin planning your Halloween costumes and start decorating your home with Halloween decor, throw on a seasonal episode of The Office to set the tone just right. If you don't know where to start—we got you! This list includes all the Halloween episodes of The Office so you can decide which one you want to throw on yourself!
All of The Office characters you love have some sort of involvement in each of these Halloween episodes listed. And while they may not be absolutely terrifying like our list of scary Halloween movies, they'll still make any list of best Halloween TV episodes! And who knows—after watching a couple these, you may gain some new ideas for your Halloween party theme or even a specific group Halloween costume! (Because there are plenty of those going on over at Dunder Mifflin!) Watch these episodes over at Peacock, and let us know just which ones were your favorite!
Season 2, Episode 5: "Halloween"
The first Halloween episode really set the bar high for the rest of them. For one, Michael has to fire one of his employees at the Halloween party. Yes, costumes included. You'll also see Michael and his rare emotional side break out in this rollercoaster of an episode.
Season 5, Episode 5: "Employee Transfer"
We hope you're not scared of clowns, because there's a lot of them in this episode. Things between Dwight, Creed, and Kevin get a little heated when all three of them decide to dress as the infamous Joker. (Specifically Heath Ledger's version.) But that's not the only drama—Michael and Holly end up breaking up. Apparently the pressure of couples costumes was too much for them!
Season 6, Episode 8: "Koi Pond"
There's a lot of foreshadowing and hilarious hostility in this one. We've got Jim and Pam acting as if they're married so that they could potentially make a sale at work. Then, we have Michael who's mad at Jim for not stopping him from falling into a koi pond, when it's clear that he could've!
Season 7, Episode 6: "Costume Contest"
An office costume party makes everyone go a bit haywire once the prize is announced: a Scranton-area coupon book. Though it's basically worth nothing, everyone is under the impression that the book is worth at least $15,000. This causes people to wear many costumes throughout the day, constantly changing in an effort to outdo each other.
Season 8, Episode 5: "Spooked"
Do you believe in ghosts? That seems to be the ongoing debate between Jim and Pam—which eventually leads into an intense argument! 😬 Plus, Erin's patience is tested when she's told she needs to plan the Halloween office party. Her "planning" mode might be too much for her BF Andy...
Season 9, Episode 5: "Here Comes Treble"
This episode is a doozy, because there's just so much going on. On the one hand, the entire office is ticked off because Andy decided to bring his college a cappella group to serenade his co workers. On the other hand, we have Jim who made a classic financial mistake, leaving Pam with the job of figuring it all out. Then we have our show offs who really outdid themselves this year with their costumes!
