Scream Fortress is the event associated with the October 27, 2010 Patch, which included the release of the two new Artpass Contest-winning maps, new Hats, new items, and new Ghostchievements.
It is the 2010 equivalent of the 2009 Haunted Halloween Special, in which Harvest was added, and thus, the second Halloween event to be held in Team Fortress 2.

Maps
Mann Manor
The primary new addition in Scream Fortress is the Mann Manor, a Halloween-themed map with a new pseudo-game mode, in which the Horseless Headless Horsemann, the apparition of Silas Mann, must be killed by both teams in cooperation, any player who gets too close to the Horseless Headless Horsemann will be in risk of being decapatated by his Headtaker .
This map also features custom models for Health pick-ups and Pumpkin bombs, similar to Harvest.
It's a standard Control Point map, with three Control Points which must be captured by BLU in order. BLU team starts outside the Mann Manor, and eventually make their way inside of the Mann Manor.
The Horseless Headless Horsemann
The Horseless Headless Horsemann is the undead apparition of Silas Mann. A neutral character, he will attack both RED and BLU teams until he is slain, an achievement, considering his Health ranges up from 3000 (5000 if not forced spawned) to 9400, depending on the player count in the server. (a minimum of 10 players is required for The Horseless Headless Horsemann to appear).
Mountain Lab
Mountain Lab is meant as the non-Halloween-specific equivalent of Manor. It has the same basic layout, stemming from the same source file as released by Valve in the Artpass Contest.
Hats
The following hats were added:
| Halloween Masks | Saxton Hale Mask | Ghastlier Gibus | Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head |
|
|
|
|
| Spine-Chilling Skull | Horrific Headsplitter | Voodoo Juju | Cadaver's Cranium |
|

|
|
It should be noted that two hats, the Voodoo Juju and the Spine-Chilling Skull, can only be purchased from the Mann. Co. Store during the Halloween Event.
All current owners of the Ghastly Gibus had it upgraded to the Ghastlier Gibus, while new players instead receive the old-fashioned Ghastly Gibus from the Ghastly Gibus Grab achievement.
