“Let's go, let's go, let's go!” This article documents a recent addition. It may contain speculation, broken links or errors. You can help improve it by editing this page to include new information. |
“ | In much the same way that most of the characters in the 1983 haunted elevator movie “The Lift” were warned – repeatedly - to take the stairs, we warned you that the frankly terrifying Scream Fortress Halloween event was coming. And now it’s here, and you’re scared, and you don’t have anyone to blame but yourself. This year, you’ll experience the tear-squirting terror of being trapped in a living nightmare with a vindictive ghost, just like everyone in M. Night Shyamalan’s epic of elevator haunting, “Devil”.

The Fourth Annual Spectral Halloween Special is a major update released on October 26, 2012.
Contents
Timeline
On October 23, 2012, the head of the Spy portrait on the TF2 Official Blog was changed to resemble a skull. Clicking on the skull led to a hidden page, with a newspaper page titled "The Teufort Reader". The bottom of the newspaper is ripped, showing two cards with odd symbols.
The following day, a comic titled Doom-Mates was released. The comic details Merasmus' return home from his weekend at WizardCon, and his growing resentment towards the Soldier.
The next day, a page was posted that announced the event begins the following day, October 26th, and gave a link to the update page with all the info. It announced a new Mann vs. Machine mission called "Wave 666", where instead of fighting robots, the players fight zombies, and a new Halloween King of the Hill match (on koth_lakeside_event[1]) with Merasmus (with the Bombinomicon) as the boss. It added two new achievements and introduced Magic Spells, which players can cast on other items in their backpack to give their items new effects, from shifting paint colors to flaming footsteps. Additionally, the Gift Drop system will be different; during the last two years, gifts spawned publicly and could be claimed by whoever arrived there first, while this year, players will receive private gift spawns that they can grab at their leisure.

Trivia
- In the introduction of zombies on the Scream Fortress page, a Soldier can be seen in the background bearing the same hole in his chest as in Meet The Pyro, and the Heavy has a chest wound in the same place as his surgery in Meet the Medic.
- Several encoded messages appear on the update's pages, and they use Agathodaimon symbols.
- The first one, found on the Scout's card on the hidden page, translates to "Super Spped"(sic). The encoded message on the Heavy's card on the Spectral Halloween Special update page says "Small Head".
- On the Spectral Halloween Special update page, the first header says "Explo Capitus" while the second says "Barpo Kabalto".
