Megalo is a community-made Halloween-themed asymmetrical King of the Hill map added in the Scream Fortress 2020 update.
The center platform contains three tracks on it, one for each level, and raises and lowers periodically. It starts at the bottom level, then raises to the middle one, then to the top one, then lowers back to the bottom one, repeating the cycle. Once raised or lowered, a ghost train passes through on whichever track the platform is aligned with, killing whoever touches it and scaring anyone who goes near it. There is a bottomless pit below the point that kills any player that falls in.
Megalo was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Update history
October 1, 2020 Patch (Scream Fortress XII)
- Added Megalo to the game.
- Fixed minor out of bounds teleporter exploit
- Added pumpkin bombs
- Fixed players building Teleporters in RED spawn
- Updated Megalo map stamp to fix incorrect image.
Notes
- It is possible to see the tips of the ghost train's horns, as well as the particle effects it emits, clipping through the floors of the spawn rooms, where the trains with the resupply lockers are stationed.
- This is easier to see in RED's spawn, as the ghost train waits to cross the center platform at its lowest level right below it.
Trivia
- Two gravestones illuminated by a candle next to a tree with two ghost dolls hanging from its branches can be found outside the playable area and away from normal view on the RED side of the map.
- A wooden deer cutout can be found behind a rock to the left of the building the ghost train goes into after crossing the center platform on the middle level.
