"Halloween" is a Halloween-themed episode of the American mocumentary sitcom, The Office. It was originally aired on October 18, 2005.

Plot

The episode starts with regional manager Michael Scott, who is dressed as a two headed man, walks into the office, on Halloween. Pam, the receptionist, who is dressed as a cat, tells him that Jan, the vice president called. Michael is upset by this, but calls her back. Jan reminds Michael that, due to the company budget, he has to fire somebody by the end of  the month, which is today. Michael tells Jan that he already knows who he is going to fire. He then hangs up, and tells the camera crew that he lied to Jan, and has no idea who he is gonna fire, and is afraid to fire somebody, because it will ruin the Halloween party later that day. He says that he has been hoping that somebody would quit, move, or die, so he wouldn't have to fire anybody.

Michael decides to ask Oscar (dressed as a woman), Angela (dressed as a kitten), and Kevin (dressed as Mr. Incredible), who are part of the accounting department if there is a surplus of money, so that they wouldn't have to fire anybody. They reply negitively. The three than worry that he may fire one of them.

Jim, who is dressed as a three hole punch Jim (he simply attached three black dots to his shirt), and Pam decide to solve Michael's dilema, and get rid of Dwight (dressed as Emperor Palpatine), who constantly annoys them. They decide to get Dwight another job in Cumberland Mills. They write Dwight an amazing reseme, and send it to Cumberland. Dwight is shortly called, and offered a job there. However, Dwight tells the camera, that he is much to loyal to Michael to quit, and therefore, denies to job offer. Dwight then goes to tell Michael about how he just turned down a job, in order to remain loyal to him. This gets Michael furious, as Dwight could have solved all his problems.

Michael realizes he has to take action. He calls Creed (dressed as a vampire), into his office, and tells Creed that he is fired. Creed, however, begs Michael not to fire him, and to fire Devon instead. Michael agrees. He then calls Devon (dressed as a bum) into his office, and tells him he is fired. Devon tells Michael that he is a better worker than Creed. Michael admits that this might be true, but if he were to call Creed back into his office, and fire him, he would just look stupid. Devon is angered by this, and responds to being fired, by smashing a pumpkin onto Michael's car. 

In the end, everybody leaves the office before the Halloween party starts, and Michael goes home, feeling guilty about firing Devon.
