The '''Spine-Chilling Skull''' is a [[Hats|headwear]] item for all classes. It appears as a sharp-toothed demonic skull with curled ram horns, with the wearer's eyes peering through the sockets. It was available for purchase from the [[Mann Co. Store]] during the [[Scream Fortress]] event, which ran between the 27th of October and the 8th of November 2010. It is no longer available for purchase, however it still has a 50% chance of being crafted using the Halloween Hat Blueprint, the other possible result is a [[Voodoo Juju]].

The Spine-Chilling Skull is a cosmetic item for all classes. It is a demonic, gray skull with sharp teeth and curled ram horns, with the sockets positioned at the wearer's eyes.

This item was available for purchase from the Mann Co. Store for a limited time during the Scream Fortress event, which ran from October 27 until November 8, 2010.

Using the Fabricate Halloween Headgear recipe once yielded a 50% chance of crafting either a Voodoo Juju or Spine-Chilling Skull. As of the Very Scary Halloween Special Update, this is no longer possible as the recipe only results in one of three 2011 Spine-Chilling Skulls.
