Scream Fortress was the event launched with the October 27, 2010 Patch, which included the release of the two new Art Pass Contest-winning maps, new Hats, new items, and new Ghostchievements. The event runs until November 8, 2010.

It was the 2010 equivalent of the 2009 Haunted Halloween Special, becoming the second Halloween event to be held in Team Fortress 2.

Maps

Mann Manor

The biggest addition in the Scream Fortress update was Mann Manor, a Halloween-themed map with a neutral boss monster, the Horseless Headless Horsemann. He must be killed, or any player near him risks decapitation. This map also featured Haunted Halloween Gifts, which contained Halloween Masks that players could collect.

It is otherwise a standard Control Point map with three Control Points.

The Horseless Headless Horsemann

The Horseless Headless Horsemann is the undead apparition of Silas Mann. A neutral character, he attacks both RED and BLU teams until he is slain. His Health ranges from 3000 to 9400, depending on the number of players in the server. He does not spawn until ten players are present.

Mountain Lab

Mountain Lab is the equivalent of Mann Manor. They share the same basic layout, as they're both winners of the Valve Art Pass contest.

Hats

The following hats were added:

Halloween Masks Saxton Hale Mask Ghastlier Gibus Horseless Headless
Horsemann's Head
Heavy Mask Saxton Hale Mask Ghastlier Gibus Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head
Spine-Chilling Skull Horrific Headsplitter Voodoo Juju Cadaver's Cranium
Spine-Chilling Skull Horrific Headsplitter Voodoo Juju Cadaver's Cranium

Two hats, the Voodoo Juju and the Spine-Chilling Skull, could only be purchased from the Mann. Co. Store during the Halloween Event. After that, the only options for acquiring them were crafting with an Haunted Metal Scrap (which could result in owning one or the other), trading, or gifting. Players who already had the Ghastly Gibus had it upgraded to the Ghastlier Gibus, while newcomers would only receive the old-fashioned Ghastly Gibus from the Ghastly Gibus Grab achievement from 2009.
