Although the [http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/ Scream Fortress page] on the official Team Fortress website stated that the event would last until November 8, 2010, Halloween gift boxes containing masks stopped spawning at [[Mann Manor]] and Halloween-only hats ceased to be wearable at around 8am GMT+0, November 8.

{{main|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 [[Attack/Defend]] map with three Control Points.

This event included the release of the two new [[Art Pass Contest]]-winning maps, new [[cosmetic items]], and new [[Ghostchievements]] as well as the reactivation of the [[October 29, 2009 Patch|2009 Haunted Halloween Special]]'s [[Scarechievements]]. The event also inaugurated [[Haunted Halloween Gift]] pickups, which was a means of distributing free [[Holiday#Halloween|Halloween-restricted costumes]] for 5 years.
  
==== Mountain Lab ====

Although the [http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/ Scream Fortress page] on the [[TF2 Official Website]] stated that the event would only last until November 8, 2010, the Haunted Halloween Gift stopped spawning at [[Mann Manor]], and Halloween-only cosmetics ceased to be wearable at around November 8 at 8am GMT. However, Halloween-restricted items like the [[Spine-Chilling Skull]], [[Voodoo Juju]], and [[Noise Maker]] continued to be available at the [[Mann Co. Store]] throughout the day.

'''Mountain Lab''' shares the same basic layout as Mann Manor, as they are both entries from the [[Art Pass contest]] and are therefore based off the same frame.

TF2 Official Blog

The Second Annu-Hell Scream Fortress Hauntdead Halloween Special, then also commonly known as the Scream Fortress Update, launched with the October 27, 2010 Patch. Following the previous year's Haunted Halloween Special, the celebration established the annual Team Fortress 2 Halloween event.

This event included the release of the two new Art Pass Contest-winning maps, new cosmetic items, and new Ghostchievements as well as the reactivation of the 2009 Haunted Halloween Special's Scarechievements. The event also inaugurated Haunted Halloween Gift pickups, which was a means of distributing free Halloween-restricted costumes for 5 years.

Although the Scream Fortress page on the TF2 Official Website stated that the event would only last until November 8, 2010, the Haunted Halloween Gift stopped spawning at Mann Manor, and Halloween-only cosmetics ceased to be wearable at around November 8 at 8am GMT. However, Halloween-restricted items like the Spine-Chilling Skull, Voodoo Juju, and Noise Maker continued to be available at the Mann Co. Store throughout the day.

Trivia

  • Scream Fortress reintroduced the "Thriller" dance from Michael Jackson's Thriller as a taunt for all classes, originally introduced in the 2009 Haunted Hallowe'en Special. Taunting during the 2010 event would randomly chose between the standard weapon taunt and the Thriller taunt, even if no standard taunt existed for a weapon (for example, the Jarate). The taunt was turned off again at the conclusion of the event.
