Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask
Level 10 Holiday Hat
Holiday Restriction: Halloween / Full Moon
Brown paper never looked so mildly disturbing.
( Achievement Item: Not Tradable )
Holidays are special events in Team Fortress 2, commonly coinciding with a cultural holiday or birthday celebration. Holiday restrictions are placed on items to enable players to equip them only for a specific holiday period.
Items with holiday restrictions have the restriction denoted in their attributes as "Holiday Restriction: [name]". The restricting of items was first implemented with the Haunted Halloween Special Update in 2009.
Equipping an item with a Holiday restriction while that Holiday is not active results in the item simply not appearing in the game world.

Halloween
The Halloween Holiday was the first holiday introduced to Team Fortress 2 and has historically taken place in a few days before Halloween and lasts a week or two into early November. When the Halloween Holiday is in effect, these Halloween restricted items are visible. Originally, these items were obtained by picking up Haunted Halloween Gifts that spawned on Mann Manor, Eyeaduct, Ghost Fort, and Helltower during the event. With the event of Scream Fortress 2015, these items became obtainable only by completion of Merasmissions. In Scream Fortress 2017, Merasmissions were incorporated into the general Contracts system.

Full Moon
The Full Moon restriction was introduced with the 2011 Very Scary Halloween Special. All previous items that were restricted to just Halloween were updated to be equippable during both Halloween and Full Moon. The items will be available for use during Full Moons according to a formula that closely approximates the lunar calendar, or servers running Halloween mode.
