11 best Halloween-themed TV episodes to binge
By Devin Shea
The Office: “Halloween,” Episode 205
The Office is one of those shows that pretty much everyone loves. Between the relatability (if you’ve ever worked in an office you’ll recognize some of the situations), the cringey comedy and the excellent cast — Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, etc — you can put on pretty much any episode and at least enjoy yourself.
While there are several Halloween-themed episodes, the original is the tops. Michael Scott has been tasked with firing someone before the end of the month, but he has procrastinated, and now it’s October 31. He has to fire someone before the end of the day, but there’s a Halloween party going on. He ends up making his choice but the fired individual decides that it’s time for revenge.
At the same time, Jim is terrorizing Dwight by pulling a prank on him. I think my favorite thing about this show is the dynamic between Jim and Dwight. There’s almost a sibling energy there.
For a good chaser, follow this Halloween episode up with season 7’s “Costume Contest.”
