There's a 'The Office' Halloween scene you haven't seen in years

It's the time of year to rewatch our favorite TV Halloween episodes, but anyone rewatching The Office Season 6 on Netflix might notice the holiday is suspiciously absent.

But this isn't a Netflix thing, as some outlets have recently reported; the Halloween scene from Season 6, episode 8 ("Koi Pond") was cut from the episode years ago.

The 2009 episode originally opened with a scene of the Dunder Mifflin warehouse transformed into a haunted house (including Jim's famous "Bookface" costume). Michael ruins it at the end while trying to send a message to the visiting children.

(Content warning: depiction of suicide)

The scene's ending was criticized even 10 years ago and promptly removed from the episode in any reruns or future streaming versions (NBC will launch its own streamer, Peacock, in 2020). It was no longer part of the episode by the time the DVD box set went on sale in 2010.

Interestingly, the official The Office YouTube account uploaded the clip (above) two years ago to celebrate Halloween, resurfacing the clip amid Office nostalgia as bonus footage rather than content which was deemed inappropriate when it originally aired.

So if you have The Office on your Halloween watchlist, you can always watch the YouTube clip before diving into "Koi Pond." Or, you know, don't! Your BookFace Jim Halloween costume still rocks.

The Office is currently streaming on Netflix.
