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]].
  
=== Mann Manor ===
+
This event included the release of the two new [[Art Pass Contest]]-winning maps, new [[cosmetic items]], and new [[Halloween achievements#Ghostchievements|Ghostchievements]] as well as the reactivation of the [[Halloween achievements#Scarechievements|Scarechievements]]. The event also inaugurated [[Haunted Halloween Gift]] pickups, which was a means of distributing free [[Holiday#Halloween|Halloween-restricted costumes]] for 5 years.

{{main|Mann Manor}}
 
The primary new addition in Scream Fortress is the [[Mann Manor]], a Halloween-themed map with a new pseudo-game mode, in which the [[Horseless Headless Horsemann]], the apparition of [[NPCs#Silas_Mann|Silas Mann]], must be killed by both teams in cooperation, any player who gets to close to the Horseless Headless Horsemann will be in risk of being decapatated by his Headtaker  .
 
  
This map also features custom models for [[Health]] pick-ups and [[Pumpkin bombs]], similar to Harvest.
+
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.
  
It's a standard [[Control Point]] map, with three Control Points which must be captured by [[BLU]] in order. BLU team starts outside the Mann Manor, and eventually make their way inside of the Mann Manor.

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 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.
