{{Quotation|'''TF2 Official Blog'''|Long story short, we guarantee you that nothing's going to scare you this year. There will be no '''ENORMOUS HAUNTED EYEBALL''' to terrorize you around an island filled with tons of '''SECRET LOOT''', and a '''GIANT SKULL'''! There will be approximately zero percent chance of you getting your trembling hands on a spooky costume '''FOR EVERY CLASS'''! And we certainly wouldn't '''DRAMATIZE THE BACKSTORY''' of this hypothetical scary update with a '''FEAR-CHOKED TERROR-COMIC'''!}}
 
The <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://www.teamfortress.com/veryscaryhalloween/ Third Annual Scream Fortress Very Scary Halloween Special]'''</span> was the event launched with the [[October 27, 2011 Patch]], which included the release of a new version of [[Viaduct]] for the event known as [[Eyeaduct]], new items, costumes, and two new [[Achievements]]. Players that logged on during the event also received a [[Halloween Goodie Cauldron]].
 
  
The event began on October 27, 2011, and concluded at November 6, 2011 at 12am (UTC).

{{Quotation|'''TF2 Official Blog'''|Also included in this update: You being scared! [sound of bat wings] That's right, it's the Second Annual Team Fortress Halloween Special. Will there be ghosts? Quite possibly. Will there be exploding pumpkins? You never know. Will you wet your pants in terror? If you're anything like us, emphatically yes.}}

The '''Second Annu-Hell Scream Fortress Hauntdead Halloween Special''', then also commonly known as the <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/ Scream Fortress Update]<!-- the update's web page name was/is /screamfortress -->'''</span>, launched with the {{Patch name|10|27|2010}}. 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 [[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.
 +
 
 +
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.

The '''[[Horseless Headless Horsemann]]''' is a [[non-playable character]] boss, spawning on [[Mann Manor]], who attacks both [[RED]] and [[BLU]] teams until he is slain. The Horsemann, who is depicted as the undead apparition of [[Non-player characters#Silas Mann|Silas Mann]], has a [[health]] range from 3000 to 9400, depending on the number of players in the server.<!-- out of date and not needed in this article: The Horsemann does not spawn until ten or more players are present (not including [[spectator]]s).-->

On [[October 20, 2011 Patch|October 20, 2011]], a new Halloween-themed background was added to the game and made the default [[main menu]] background. In the same update, Halloween event-only [[hats]] from previous Halloween events were made wearable again. The [[Horseless Headless Horsemann]] was re-added to [[Mann Manor]], as well as [[Halloween pumpkin]] drops and the [[Thriller]] taunt for all [[classes]].
+
* Scream Fortress reintroduced the "Thriller" dance from ''[[w:Michael Jackson's Thriller|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.
  
On October 21, 2011, a blog post on the [[TF2 Official Website]] confirmed the 'Third Annual Scream Fortress Halloween' update to be released sometime during the following week.<ref>"[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=6588 Update on the Halloween Update]", TF2 Team, [[TF2 Official Website]], October 21, 2011.

On October 21, 2011, [[Valve]] developer Jon Lippincott posted to the [http://list.valvesoftware.com/ HLDS mailing list], stating that new Halloween content will be released "in the near future".<ref>[http://www.mail-archive.com/hlds@list.valvesoftware.com/msg46796.html &#91;hlds&#93; Halloween 2011] by Jon Lippincott, [http://list.valvesoftware.com/ hlds@list.valvesoftware.com], October 21, 2011, 19:33:14 PDT. Accessed October 21, 2011.</ref> The e-mail confirmed the introduction of gift drops, which were a feature of previous Halloween events that dropped special [[items]] for players on the specific event map [[Mann Manor]]. Lippincott stated that gift drops will only occur on servers that have [https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513 registered] with [[Steam]], and that abusing or attempting to cheat the drop system will result in the removal of the server's registration.

Second Annu-hell Screm Fortress.png
This article is for content released in the update. For the patch itself, see October 27, 2010 Patch.
Also included in this update: You being scared! [sound of bat wings] That's right, it's the Second Annual Team Fortress Halloween Special. Will there be ghosts? Quite possibly. Will there be exploding pumpkins? You never know. Will you wet your pants in terror? If you're anything like us, emphatically yes.
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.
