'''Wave 666''' is a map added during the [[Spectral Halloween Special]] update. It is a version of [[Coal Town]] at night, with zombies instead of robots. The zombies will have some sort of [[Halloween]] item worn on them, such as the [[Idiot Box]] on the Giant Charged Soldiers. There are also significantly more enemies than any other wave of Mann vs. Machine and some zombies, such as the giant demoknight will always be able to deal [[Critical hits]]. The AI on the zombies is vastly improved as well, such as [[Scout]] zombies drinking bonk at low health, and [[Pyro]] zombies constantly using their flamethrowers.

'''Ghost Town''' is a [[Mann vs. Machine]] map was released as part of the [[Spectral Halloween Special]] update. The map is set at night, with pumpkins, gravestones, and other Halloween-themed objects scattered around.

The map contains only 1 mission: the Nightmare mission [[Caliginous Caper (mission)|Caliginous Caper]]. As it is not playable in [[Mann Up]] mode, there is no reward for completing this mission.
