The Spine-Chilling Skull is a headwear item wearable by 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 a 50% chance at the Voodoo Juju; however as of the Very Scary Halloween Special, only the Spine-Chilling Skull 2011 can be crafted. The Voodoo Juju was available for a limited time in the Mann Co. Store alongside the Spine-Chilling Skull.

  • When crafting the Spine-Chilling Skull 2011, the player will receive a version of the hat that only has one of the three possible styles. The style of the skull cannot be changed to the other styles. Only hats purchased through the Mann Co. Store will have the option of switching between the three styles.

Update history

October 27, 2010 Patch (Scream Fortress Update)

November 10, 2010 Patch

  • [Undocumented] Some untradable Spine-Chilling Skulls were made tradable.

November 19, 2010 Patch

  • This hat is now paintable, and its positioning upon the Sniper's head was altered.

October 27, 2011 Patch (Scream Fortress Very Scary Halloween Special)

  • Fixed the Spine-Chilling Skull not appearing when equipped by Soldiers.

Bugs

  • This hat has clipping issues with all of the Soldier's primary weapons.

Trivia

  • The Spine-Chilling Skull is based on the Gremlin Noise Maker.
  • 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, the RIFT Well Spun Hat Claim Code, and the Summer Shades.
  • 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.
  • On October 11, 2011 a blog post was released which detailed the process of modelling the Spine-Chilling Skull.
