“

Every doctor needs a cadaver or two for his experiments.

— The Medic

”

Monster Bash is a community-created Player Destruction Halloween map released during the Scream Fortress 2018 update. It is set in a Gothic castle, centered around a large reanimator machine. A portrait of Dr. Cadaverus Hale is set in the Grand Foyer.

The objective for this map is to gather buckets of gibs to bring to the reanimator in the middle of the castle. A team wins upon successful delivery of a set number of gibs.

Monster Bash was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Features

The delivery point is surrounded by a shield for a set period of time. After a set amount of time, the shield disappears, and it is possible to step onto the point and Gibs may be delivered by the team controlling the Delivery Zone. Once the delivery period is over, players are forced off the point and the forcefield goes back up.

The Pit is in the center of the map, under the delivery point in The Lab. Rather than killing players, it leads to a secret area. In this area, players perpetually take damage and must jump through a hallway of Pendulum blades to escape. If they can manage to escape, they are placed at the top of the pit and are granted with temporary Crits and a spell.

Like several other Halloween maps, this map features Magic spells for the players to pick up, in the form of filled flasks.

-* The map makes a number of references to the Horror genre:
+* Elizabeth II is a reference to Audrey II, a man-eating alien plant from the movie ''[[w:Little Shop of Horrors (film)|Little Shop of Horrors]]''.
-** The opening notes to [[w:Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565|''Toccata and Fugue'']] (a cinematic cliché to illustrate horror and villainy) [[w:Toccata et Fugue BWV565.ogg|play]] at the beginning of a match.
-** The [[w:Galvanism|electrical]] reanimation of surgically assembled body parts refers to the franchise of Mary Shelley's [[w:Frankenstein|''Frankenstein'']].
-** The Pit and Pendulums Underworld refers to Edgar Allen Poe's short story [[w:The Pit and the Pendulum|''The Pit and the Pendulum'']].
-** The large carnivorous plant in the BLU spawn, named "Elizabeth II", references the movie [[w:Little Shop of Horrors (film)|''Little Shop of Horrors'']].
-** The Latin motto, ''Mors Solum Initium'' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDax2eMTmtA Death is only the beginning.]) refers to the 1999 movie [[w:The Mummy (1999 film)|''The Mummy'']].
-** On the Balcony outside the Ballroom (past the Hole in the Floor), lying on top of the railing on the right, there's a wilted rose left as a reference to the {{botignore|classic}} story of the [[w:Beauty and the Beast|Beauty and the Beast]].
-** Through the windows of the Grand Foyer, barely visible though the front gate, is seen an angry mob of villagers with [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TorchesAndPitchforks torches and pitchforks].  (This mob is made up of cutouts of the Spy.)
-* The Castle appears to have been owned by generations of [[Saxton Hale|Hales]] (or recently purchased by a Hale). There are signs of [[Storyline#1971|distressed ownership]]:
-** The Castle has been recently sold, along with the [[Coal Town|Coal Mine]], [[Gravel Pit]], and [[Granary]] (Realtors: [[RED|Reliable Excavation Demolition]]).
-** The painting of Gravel Pit has been taken down (or is about to be put up) from the {{botignore|gallery}} and flipped to face the wall.
-** Saxton Hale's portrait is crooked.
-** Deceased in [[Storyline#1971|1971]], Redmond's version of the Mann Brother's portrait is not hung up (or has just been taken down).
-* As the male lead in ''Little Shop of Horrors'' named the plant "Audrey II" after his girl friend, naming the plant in this map Elizabeth II suggests that one of the Hales had (has) a romantic interest in [[Non-player characters#Elizabeth|Elizabeth]]; incidentally, a woman with a [[Wikipedia:Bride of Frankenstein (character)#/media/File:Brideoffrankenstein.jpg|cinematic]] [[w:Poliosis#Popular culture|Mallen Streak]].
-** However, it should be noted that Victor Frankenstein's fiancé was also named [[w:Elizabeth Lavenza|Elizabeth]].
-** This ''[[w:Little Shop of Horrors (film)|Mean Green Mother from Outer Space]]'' also references the 1947 [[w:Roswell UFO incident|Roswell UFO incident]].
-* The map references the Medic's repeated association with the [[:File:TheNakedandtheDead098.png|Frankenstein]] theme of [[:File:Oldwounds64.jpg|Reanimation of corpses]], with the resemblance of the village below the gate to [[Rottenburg]] (with its Frankenstein references) and the chalkboard of Medics' study of the [[Reanimator]] seen in the Chemicals room.
-* Resurrection: Literal [[w:Easter|Easter]] Eggs are hidden in a crate. [[:File:Enclosure_even_plywood_cutout_life.png|''"Life will find a way."'']]
-* There is a book in the Library with Scout's cap and the [[Tipped Lid]] resting on top of it. This is a reference to [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1867910/ Nathan Vetterlein,] the Scout's voice actor, complimenting the Library while playing on Monster Bash during [[Tip of the Hats]].
-* Originally called [[w:Monster Mash|Monster Mash]] on the Steam Workshop, the map was renamed to Monster Bash upon release to avoid copyright issues.
