Voices from Below
| “Ok guys, bad news: we lost that last one.” This article documents content for Team Fortress 2 that was removed from the game. It may contain speculation, broken links or errors. |
Voices from Below was a series of Halloween spell tool items that could be applied to cosmetic items. Wearing such item results in the pitch at which the wearer speaks to be lower.
Prior to Scream Fortress 2015, it could be found during Halloween events inside of Haunted Halloween Gifts on Ghost Fort, or from a Pile of Curses. Since Scream Fortress 2015, Halloween Spells are no longer obtainable, as Haunted Halloween Gifts were replaced with the Soul Gargoyle, which does not distribute spells nor the Voodoo-Cursed Items needed to craft the Pile of Curses. All remaining Halloween Spells persisting in players' backpacks remain visible in them as long as they do not launch the game; if they do, the spells are deleted. Any spells applied to items remain on them.
This effect is only active around Halloween or during a Full Moon; at other times of the year, it does not activate in gameplay, unless the server has Halloween mode enabled. However, items with the spell applied can be equipped at any time and their effect becomes active on the loadout screen, even when it is not activate during matches.

Notes
- The effect applied to items is listed as "Voices from Below" rather than the name of the spell used. All nine spells gave the same effect, they were only limited in which cosmetics they could be applied to.
Bugs
- The backpack icons incorrectly use the coloring overlay intended for paint cans, though this is rendered moot by the fact that they are no longer meant to exist anymore.
- Although each spell was meant to be used with only one class, they could be applied to cosmetics which can be equipped by multiple classes, granting the effect to any class wearing the affected cosmetic.
