LOOK OUT DRACULA IS BEHIND YOU! [sound of a creaking door] Ha ha ha! If you scare that easily, this map will kill you. — Haunted Hallowe'en Special

”

Harvest Event is a community-created King of the Hill map. It was released with the Haunted Halloween Special Update as an official community-developed map due to its outstanding quality. This is a Halloween-themed version of the Harvest. It includes many gameplay elements that are unique to the map.

In this Halloween version, as with all later Halloween maps, health packs are reskinned as chocolate bars and candy tins. Pumpkin bombs are scattered strategically throughout the map and explode when shot, damaging and possibly killing players (regardless of team) in close proximity. Killed players will randomly drop a crit-boosting Halloween pumpkin full of candy. The ghost of Zepheniah Mann wanders around the map, haunting any players who venture too close. Soul Gargoyles spawn on the map for each player individually during game play.

• The Farmhouses: Located directly in front of each team's spawn area, these large houses have two stories with windows and a roof overlooking the center shed.
• Side Sheds: Open at one end, these sheds contain medium Health Packs inside.
