Haunted Halloween Gift
Pickup Type: Halloween Masks
Danke schön, na na, Danke schön.
The Medic, on receiving gifts.

The Haunted Halloween Gift is a special pickup which spawned during the 2010 Halloween Special Event in Mann Manor. It appears as a large, lime-green gift box with a bright orange ribbon. The player who collects the gift box will receive a random Halloween Mask; upon collecting all nine, one can craft the Saxton Hale Mask.

The Haunted Halloween Gift will spawn at one of many predetermined locations on the map, 5 minutes into the round or 5 minutes after the previous gift was collected. An alert will be sent to all players when it appears in the map. The gift is translucent for the first few seconds after it spawns and cannot be picked up; this allows other players to move or kill anyone waiting for it to solidify. Another alert will be sent to all players once the gift is collected along with a cheering sound clip and balloons.

There must be a minimum of ten players on the server for the Haunted Halloween Gift to appear. This only includes actual Steam clients, not bots.
