Spooked at Work


Yesterday my dad came to visit me at work and brought me some supplies. As he’s chuckling away helping me find places to hang the skeleton.

Of course, in my dads true fashion, Halloween themed inflatables were sold out. Here is Christmas / Hallowe’en Stitch! I think I made it work!

What do you think? Should I be looking over my shoulder tomorrow?

Keep reading for some great Hallowe’en office prank ideas!


Halloween isn’t just for haunted houses and trick-or-treaters, it’s the perfect excuse to stir up some spooky fun at work. If your office loves a good laugh, here are a few light-hearted pranks that keep things festive without crossing the line.


The Haunted Desk

Swap a coworker’s usual supplies with Halloween-themed versions: pumpkin pens, ghost sticky notes, and maybe a rubber bat or two.

Zombie Zoom Call

Coordinate with your team to join a video meeting in full undead makeup—no warning.

Spider Surprise

Tape fake spiders under desk drawers or inside coffee mugs. Just make sure your target isn’t an arachnophobe! I’ll avoid a photo for this one.


The Candy Switcheroo

Replace the office candy bowl with unexpected treats, like baby carrots or raisins. Watch reactions, then bring out the real sweets as a peace offering.

Costume Confusion

Convince a few coworkers to dress identically—same costume, same mannerisms. It’s eerie, hilarious, and totally harmless.

Just remember: keep it friendly, inclusive, and safe. The goal is laughter, not HR paperwork. Happy haunting!
