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 be still be unlocked, is to complete the ''Ghastly Gibus Grab'' [[Scarechievements|achievement]] by [[domination|dominating]] a player wearing the hat.

This item was originally awarded to the first 10,319 players who visited a [https://www.teamfortress.com/pumpkinpatch/gibus/ hidden page] on the [[Haunted Hallowe'en Special]] website. It could also be obtained by earning the [[Scarechievements|''Ghastly Gibus Grab'']] achievement by [[Domination|dominating]] a player with the item equipped; however, after October 26, 2012, this achievement now rewards the player with a [[Ghostly Gibus]].
−
* The initials "[[Non-player characters#Zepheniah Mann and Company|ZM]]" are embroidered on the inside.
 
−
*The gibus, also known as the opera hat, was invented in 1800–10 and named for its inventor, a 19th century Frenchman. It is a man's tall, collapsible top hat, held open or in shape by springs and usually covered with a black, silky fabric.  
 
−
*The ghost of Zepheniah Mann can be seen wearing this hat while haunting the event version of [[Harvest]].
 
−
*The Ghastly Gibus is somewhat similar to the [[Scotsman's Stove Pipe]].
 
−
*The hat may also be a reference to "gib", a term used when a character in a video game is killed in a very gory way, often scattering the characters various body parts apart.
 
−
*There are claims that the hat is now droppable, due to the fact that people have found without recently completing the achievement, leading to much confusion among the TF2 community.
 
−
*The amount of people who got one from the secret webpage, 10,319, is the date of Halloween 2009, 10/31/09.
 
−
*This hat cannot be crafted with a second hat to make a new hat in the same way that most class specific hats and misc items can be.
 
−
*It was possible to obtain two Ghastly Gibuses: by finding one through the hidden web page, while the giveaway was in practice, and by earning one with the achievement (though this serves no practical purpose, as the Gibus cannot be currently crafted into anything else).
 
−
*The Gibus was misspelled "[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3019 Ghostly Gibus]" in the TF2 Official Blog. However, it was probably just what the [[Soldier]] thought it was named.
 
−
*Because of how common the hat is, modelers tend to only make their custom hats replace the Gibus.

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.
