UPDATE: the episode is called “Costume Contest,” written by Justin Spitzer and directed by Dean Holland. And note that “Halloween is the whole episode and not just the cold open.” (Thanks NBC.com!)
Is there an episode title for the actual Halloween ep?
Yay! I’m glad we’ll be able to see the cast in costume for the whole episode and not just the cold open like last season. That was kind of a bummer…
Actually the costumes have only been in the cold open for the past two years so I really hope this year is different. Also, is Pam suffering from amnesia so that she can’t even remember her own dating history? You’d think that would stick in her head.
Yay! In a perfect world, there would have been a Halloween episode and a Dundies episode EVERY year!
I am guessing Pam might have gotten drunk on her date with Danny and therefore doesn’t remember.
Maybe Danny is over exaggerating or is making things up in regards to their dating history, so Pam wants to get the truth out of him.
Wants to get him to admit to the truth rather
Finally, an entire Halloween ep!
Can’t wait to see everyone’s Halloween costumes this year! And finally, another episode where it lasts for more than just the cold open.
I’m curious about this whole Danny storyline. No real threat exists for Jim/Pam, as it should be, so a little tension again might be interesting.
I want a Halloween Office where they wear their Halloween outfits the entire episode.
