The Spine-Chilling Skull is a headwear item that can be worn on all classes. The Spine-Chilling Skull appears as a demonic, gray skull with sharp teeth and curled ram horns, with the sockets positioned at the wearer's eyes.

The Spine-Chilling Skull hat was available for purchase from the Mann Co. Store exclusively during the Scream Fortress event, which ran between the 27th of October and the 8th of November 2010. Players could also craft using the unique "Fabricate Halloween Headgear" blueprint with the event item Unusual Haunted Metal Scrap for a 50% chance at the Spine-Chilling Skull, or its counterpart, the Voodoo Juju. The Voodoo Juju was available for a limited time in the Mann Co. Store alongside the Spine-Chilling Skull.

Trivia

  • The Spine-Chilling Skull was modeled by an artist from Weta Digital[1], the same studio responsible for modeling characters from the Template:W film trilogy such Gollum and the Balrog. The latter of the two, interestingly, bears resemblance to the Spine-Chilling Skull.
    • Weta also designed the motion sensor-equipped Sentry Gun at Valve Headquarters.
  • Like several other Halloween hats, the Spine-Chilling Skull does not have a randomly selected level when crafted or purchased. The level of the Spine-Chilling Skull is always level 31, because Halloween is on the 31st of October.
  • When the Spine-Chilling Skull is moved around in the backpack, it will make a paper bag sound similar to the Halloween Masks, the Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask, and the RIFT Well Spun Hat Claim Code.
  • Due to an error in the crafting system, an amount of Spine Chilling Skull hats that were crafted early on during the Scream Fortress event are tradable, without the use of Gift Wrap. This error has since been fixed, but a Spine Chilling Skull crafted during this time will remain tradable.
