The Office Halloween Episodes in Order

The Office Halloween Episodes, in Order

Six Halloween episodes, countless questionable costume choices, and one very strange haunted warehouse later—these episodes remind us why we’d choose Dunder Mifflin over any other paper company. Keep on reading ahead for every Halloween episode of The Office, listed in order for your viewing pleasure!

Poor Michael has to fire someone by the end of October, but in true Michael Scott style, he puts it off until Halloween day. Meanwhile, the office throws their annual Halloween party, giving us our first glimpse of Jim’s minimalist approach to costumes (he’s “Dave”) and Dwight’s intensity (a Sith lord, naturally). Plus, we get to see Pam’s first attempt at managing Michael’s emotions while dressed as a cat—a skill she’ll perfect over the next several seasons. The episode sets the tone for how The Office handles holiday episodes: equal parts heart, humor, and, of course, cringe.
“Employee Transfer” (Season 5, Episode 6)

While not entirely Halloween-focused, this episode gives us some memorable costume moments, including Dwight’s spot-on (and slightly terrifying) impression of the Joker from The Dark Knight. Pam’s away at art school, but the Dunder Mifflin crew keeps the spooky spirit alive with their usual mix of chaos and charm. The highlight might be Kelly’s explanation of her Carrie Bradshaw costume to a completely confused Dwight, proving once again that pop culture references are definitely not his strong suit.

Here’s a fun bit of Office trivia: while this episode is mainly remembered for its non-Halloween storyline, it actually kicks off with a spooky warehouse party scene that’s become something of a lost relic. If you’re streaming on Peacock these days, you won’t catch this Halloween cold open—it was eventually pulled from the rotation for being a bit too dark (literally and figuratively). The scene shows the office team attempting to transform the warehouse into a haunted house, with Michael taking his role perhaps a little too… enthusiastically. While the rest of the episode veers away from Halloween completely, this missing scene is a perfect example of how The Office could turn even a simple holiday party into memorable workplace chaos.

When a Scranton Business Park-wide costume contest offers a seriously sweet prize package, everyone goes all out with their costumes. Oscar’s attempt at a “rational consumer” might be the most on-brand costume choice in the show’s history, while Gabe’s surprisingly unsettling Lady Gaga ensemble still lives rent-free in our minds. The competitive spirit brings out everyone’s true colors, especially Darryl’s frustration with Oscar’s obscure costume concept.

Erin takes charge of the office Halloween party, but things get complicated when Andy’s girlfriend shows up and Robert California decides to psychoanalyze everyone’s fears. The result? A perfectly awkward blend of office politics and Halloween hijinks that only The Office could pull off. Robert California’s fear monologue is both hilarious and surprisingly insightful, proving that even without Michael Scott, the show could still deliver memorable Halloween moments.
“Here Comes Treble” (Season 9, Episode 5)

In the final Halloween episode of the series, we get treated to Andy’s college a cappella group, his impressive George Michael costume, and Dwight’s last Halloween hurrah. While not the strongest episode of the bunch, it still delivers plenty of laughs and wraps up the show’s Halloween tradition with appropriate weirdness. Clark’s deadpan reactions to Andy’s a cappella obsession provide some of the episode’s best moments, while Dwight’s ongoing quest to terrorize his coworkers gives us one last taste of his particular brand of Halloween enthusiasm.
