Have Your Own Dunder Mifflin Office Halloween Party

 

Whether you're more of a Dwight K. Schrute or a Jim Halpert, dressing up as one of the characters from The Office is one of the easiest costumes you could possibly put together this Halloween.

From Michael Scott to Pam Beesley, there are numerous possibilities when it comes to dressing as one of the gang from Dunder-Mifflin. So, shall we form a costume alliance?

Michael Scott Costume 

"You are a gentleman and a scholar."

If one could sum up Michael Scott in one word, that word would probably be "pitiful."



In order to dress as Michael Scott, you're going to need a typical business suit. Michael tries hard to look like a businessman, even though he's truly anything but.

To play the part of Michael, you'll need to get in touch with your lame side and spout off phrases like "that's what she said," when appropriate. Or, er, inappropriate. You'll also want to randomly drop tidbits about your favorite restaurants, Chilis and Hooters, and share information about your girlfriend, Jan, that nobody truly wants to hear.

Above all, make sure you put a little "umph" in your act.

That's what she said.

Dwight K. Shrute Costume 

"The Shrutes produce very thirsty babies."

Dwight K. Shrute: Assistant (to the) Regional Manager.



Dwight is a unique individual, to put it mildly. He lives on his family's beet farm and takes his work at Dunder Mifflin very seriously. Too seriously. He is often the target of Jim and Pam's pranks and, oddly enough, has (had) a girlfriend, Angela Martin.

While Dwight does sometimes wear a jacket, you might more often see him in a button up short sleeve shirt. A yellow shirt would be perfect with the appropriate square rimmed glasses that no one has truly worn since the 70s. You might want to spend a little time practicing your "rocking out" to 70s rock tunes as well.

Jim Halpert Costume 

"I'm three hole punch version of Jim. Because you can have me either way: plain white Jim, or three whole punch."

Along with Pam, Jim is one of the few "normal" people working at Dunder-Mifflin.



Jim has harbored a long time crush on Dunder Mifflin's receptionist, Pam. Together, they've pulled some fantastic pranks on Jim's fellow salesman, Dwight.

Jim always wears a button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up just below the elbows. He has the look of someone who cares just enough to get by. You can also try Jim's Halloween costume, "Three Hole Punch Jim" which uses three black construction paper circles affixed to one side of the shirt.

Pam Beesly Costume 

"Dunder Mifflin. This is Pam."

An artist in training, Pam is Dunder Mifflin's receptionist.



Throughout the day, you can hear Pam's voice as she answers the phone. And though she's participated in some of Jim's pranks, she's known to sometimes give way to her soft-heartedness. In short, she's the sweet girl next door who often is overlooked.

Jim, however, has never overlooked her.

Pam normally wears a conservative, fitted button up blouse and skirt. Some ideas from former episodes are her cat face costume or simply a yogurt top medal as she made for the Office Olympics in Season Two.

Angela Martin Costume 

"I really enjoy being judged. I believe I hold up to even severe scrutiny."

R.I.P. Sprinkles.



Angela Martin is the former girlfriend of Dwight Shrute and is known to be somewhat high strung and very religious. If you ever want to work a smile out of her, perhaps the best way to do so is by mentioning her cats - which seems to be the only thing (other than Dwight, formerly) that she showed any positive emotion for.

Angela always dressed conservatively and usually wears her hair pulled back in some manner. If you're planning on going as Angela, you might want to carry around a cat owner's manual and a clipboard as you're the head of the party planning committee.

Kelly Kapoor Costume 

"Fashion show at lunch!"

Kelly Kapoor is the somewhat shallow wannabe girlfriend of Ryan Howard, the former temp at Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch.



Kelly always looks stylish and is never without her make-up. You can usually find her browsing through fashion magazines or the latest celebrity rags.

Creed Costume 

"You know a human can go on several hours after being decapitated."

Creed is, simply put, the creepy guy who watches you when you're trying to do your personal shopping at the local drugstore.



While he usually dresses conservatively in a suit and tie, you might want to carry a fair bit of change in your pocket that you've obviously filched from a vending machine. Creed is a klepto, so anything you can do to make yourself look like you've just been on a shoplifting spree will be true to the character.

Meredith Palmer Costume 

"Hi, I'm Meredith and I'm an alch- good at supplier relations. "

Meredith is Dunder Mifflin's resident alcoholic.



She normally wears a button up sweater over some sort of ill fitting dress. The key component to your ensemble is, however, some sort of bottle or flask tucked away in your clothing. You simply won't be Meredith without it.

Darryl Philbin Costume 

"I taught Mike some uh, some phrases to help with his interracial conversations, you know, stuff like, "fleece it out," "goin' Mach 5," "dinkin' flicka," you know, things us Negroes say."

Darryl is the hardworking warehouse manager who is both an enigma to Michael as well as his worst nightmare.



For Darryl, you've simply got to have the trademark Dunder Mifflin warehouse shirt. You've also, however, got to have the cool, laid back, but sharp attitude that Darryl uses when dealing with Michael and Dwight.

Must Have Darryl Philbin Accessories 

Jan Levinson-Gould Costume 

Believe it or not, Michael Scott has a girlfriend: Jan Levinson-Gould.



Jan is always the perfect picture of a business woman. Or at least she was when she was working for Dunder Mifflin. However, the key component of a Jan costume: boobs. Trust me.

Dunder Mifflin. This is Pam. 

Please hold.
