The Ghastly Gibus is an unlockable headwear item wearable by all classes. It is a slightly damaged black gibus hat with the top nearly detached.
In a similar fashion to the Gentle Manne's Service Medal, this hat was originally earned by being one of the first 10,319 people to visit a hidden web page. The alternative method through which it now can be unlocked is to complete the Ghastly Gibus Grab Scarechievement by dominating a player who is wearing the hat. Unlike other Halloween items, the Ghastly Gibus is not seasonally restricted. Each Ghastly Gibus earned prior to the Scream Fortress Update was changed to a Ghastlier Gibus.
The hat description was written by Esquilax for the Hat Describing Contest.

Update history
October 29, 2009 Patch (Haunted Halloween Special)
- The Ghastly Gibus was added to the game.
September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)
- The stripe of the hat was made paintable.
- [Undocumented] Added a community-contributed description for this hat.
- This hat was made nameable.
October 27, 2010 Patch (Scream Fortress Update)
- [Undocumented] Updated the description to now say "This is a special Halloween 2010 item"
- [Undocumented] A Ghastly Gibus earned before this update was turned into a Ghastlier Gibus
- The hat's painting texture was improved.
- Painting now colors the entire hat. Previously coloring only affected a band near the brim.
Bugs
- In some instances, the Ghastly Gibus appears to float when worn by the Sniper class.
- When equipping the Ghastly Gibus from the loadout screen, the class will appear to have a second, upside-down Ghastly Gibus coming from their chest. This only affects the loadout screen and does not affect character appearance in game. Affects all classes but the Sniper and the Pyro.
Trivia
- The Ghastly Gibus's original description was "Embroidered initials say 'Z.M.'", a reference to Zepheniah Mann.
- The Template:W was invented in 1812 and named after its inventor, Antoine Gibus, who was a 19th century Frenchman. It is a men's collapsible top hat held open or in shape by springs and usually covered with a black, silky fabric. It was made collapsible so that patrons of the opera could place it under their seats during the show, often garnering it the name "opera hat".
- The number of original Gibuses, 10,319, is a reference to the date they were given out, 10/31/09.
- Although there were 10,319 original Gibuses, the items do not include a number indicating the order in which they were acquired.
- While every Ghastly Gibus is marked as non-tradable, only those obtained by completing the Ghastly Gibus Grab Scarechievement are marked as non-craftable, such as all achievement items, however, trying to craft an original Ghastly Gibus still doesn't match any blueprints.
