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 Scream Fortress Update, officially known as The Second Annu-Hell Scream Fortress Hauntdead Halloween Special, was the event launched with the October 27, 2010 Patch, which included the release of the two new Art Pass Contest-winning maps, new hats, new items, and new Ghostchievements as well as the reactivation of the 2009 Haunted Halloween Special's Scarechievements.

It was the 2010 equivalent of the 2009 Haunted Halloween Special, becoming the second Halloween event to be held within Team Fortress 2.

Although the Scream Fortress page on the official Team Fortress website stated that the event would only 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 November 8 - 8AM GMT+0. Halloween-only items like the Spine-Chilling Skull, Voodoo Juju, and Noise Maker continued to be available at the Mann Co. Store throughout the day though.

Additions

The Horseless Headless Horsemann

Main article: Horseless Headless Horsemann

The "Horseless Headless Horsemann" is the undead apparition of Silas Mann. A neutral character, he attacks both the RED and BLU teams until he is slain. His health ranges from 3000 to 9400, depending on the number of players in the server. He does not spawn until ten or more players are present (not including Spectators).

Trivia

  • Scream Fortress reintroduced Michael Jackson's Thriller dance to the classes' taunts, a feature created for the 2009 Haunted Halloween 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 (Jarate, Wrangler, etc). This taunt was turned off again at the conclusion of the Scream Fortress event.
  • Halloween-only hats may still be worn on custom servers that use the tf_forced_holiday 2 console command.
