{{Show achievement|Halloween|Attack o' Lantern
 
| obtain-level = Medium
 
| obtain-text  = Try to get several of the enemies grouped together, as the bomb will do severe damage to all of them. The bombs will usually kill any class except a [[Heavy]] or [[Soldier]] in one solid hit. Keep your sights on pumpkin bombs near the busier areas such as by spawns and near the middle cap. Bombs located strategically around corners are also good for surprising pursuers. Remember, the pumpkin bombs respawn quite quickly and have a surprisingly large blast radius, so don't hesitate to shoot any that you see near an enemy.

{{Show achievement|Halloween|Candy Coroner
 
| obtain-level = Easy
 
| obtain-text  = This achievement is rather sporadic so patience is the main requirement. There is roughly a 1/8 chance of a Halloween pumpkin being dropped by a player upon death. Remember that you can pick up pumpkins regardless of who killed the unfortunate victim that dropped it. If you're fast enough, you can even pick up candy that you dropped when you died yourself. Playing as a [[Scout]] may let you snatch those elusive pumpkins before slower classes can reach them. The pumpkins will also give you a short burst of [[Crits]], which can be used to kill any nearby players and steal any other pumpkins they may drop.

{{Show achievement|Halloween|Costume Contest
 
| obtain-level = Easy
 
| obtain-text  = This one is going to take some luck if you plan on getting it without help. Spycheck anyone of your class with extreme prejudice. Remember: It only has to be your class, not your name. Common Spy disguises to watch out for if you are playing the class are the [[Pyro]], [[Sniper]] and [[Demoman]]. Note that unlike most of the other Scarechievements, this achievement can be completed on any map, not just the event version of [[Harvest]]. For the [[Scream Fortress]] 2010 Halloween event though, some players reported not being unable to gain this achievement despite multiple succesful attempts at the prerequisites.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1568709}}</ref>'''

{{Show achievement|Halloween|Ghastly Gibus Grab
 
| obtain-level = Varies depending on opponent
 
| obtain-text  = Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Pick out a player with the hat and alter your tactics specifically to kill him. Watch him carefully and be cautious about your health and surroundings. Note that unlike most of the other Scarechievements, this achievement can be completed on any map, not just the event version of [[Harvest]]. This achievement can be earned at any time of the year, not just during the Halloween event period.'''

{{Show achievement|Halloween|Scared Stiff
 
| obtain-level = Easy
 
| obtain-text  = The ghost wanders the map frequently along set routes, and though easy to avoid, players often stumble into him before fleeing in terror, especially when it moves through busy areas such as the center point. Wait for some helpless enemy to be scared, (the words "Yikes!" should appear over their head and they will exude ghost icons) then quickly finish them off in the few seconds you have before they recover. Attacks that finish opponents off quickly are your best bet, such as [[rockets]], [[grenade]]s and [[backstab]]s. Be careful not to be scared by the ghost yourself when attempting this. Despite the achievement's description, it is possible to obtain this achievement through other means. The Horseless Headless Horsemann on cp_manor_event can and will scare players when he is surrounded, just like the ghost of Zepheniah Mann. Players will need to react quickly, however, lest their intended victims be decapitated at the hands of the Horsemann instead.
