The '''Ghastly Gibus''' is an unlockable headwear item available to all classes. It appears as a slightly damaged, black gibus hat with the top nearly detached. In a similar fashion to the [[Gentle Manne's Service Medal]], the first possible method of getting this hat was to be one of the first 10,319 people to visit a [http://www.teamfortress.com/pumpkinpatch/gibus/ hidden web page]. The alternative method, through which it can still be unlocked, is to complete the ''Ghastly Gibus Grab'' [[Scarechievements|achievement]] by [[domination|dominating]] a player wearing the hat.

— The Scout on Zepheniah Mann
 ”

The Ghastly Gibus (/'gæstli ˈdʒaɪbəs/ gast-lee jahy-buhs) is a cosmetic item for all classes. It is a damaged, black gibus hat with the top nearly detached.

The item's description was written by Esquilax for the Hat Describing Contest.

This item was originally awarded to the first 10,319 players who visited a hidden page on the Haunted Hallowe'en Special website. It could also be obtained by earning the Ghastly Gibus Grab achievement by dominating a player with the item equipped; however, after October 26, 2012, this achievement now rewards the player with a Ghostly Gibus.

Players that had earned the Ghastly Gibus before the Scream Fortress Update in 2010 or the Very Scary Halloween Special update in 2011 had their Ghastly Gibus upgraded to a Ghastlier Gibus.
