Mann Manor is a Halloween-themed map. It was introduced in the October 27, 2010 Halloween Event and features the first Template:W in the game; the Horseless Headless Horsemann. It and Mountain Lab were the winners of TF2Maps.net's Art Pass Contest.
The pumpkin bombs from the 2009 Halloween event make a return, as do the Halloween pumpkins. During the round a gift will appear randomly on the map, and whichever player collects it first will receive a class-based paper mask. The gift appears similar to the Secret Saxton and the carefully wrapped gift.
The Horseless Headless Horsemann will spawn at whichever Capture Point is active, and will chase and attack one player who has been randomly determined to be "It". Players who are "It" can be identified by a skull and crossbones icon which appears above their head. Another player becomes "It" when the former player is killed, and the player who is "It" can tag another player with melee attack in order to make them become "It".
In the RED spawn, one can actually see Redmond Mann sitting in his chair turned away from the player in an adjacent, inaccessible room. Only his arm and head are visible, and the rest of his body is covered by the back of his chair. Entering the room via noclip shows that the arm and top of the head are all that are there, though, and there is no actual model for Redmond. The map also has several paintings, including a similar portrait to the one Blutarch keeps in his room, only with Redmond being good-looking and Blutarch looking like a ragged crook. The other paintings are landscapes of the various properties owned by the Mann family and a hidden portrait of Emily.

Trivia
- Mann Manor and Mountain Lab have the same layout as they are both winners of the Art Pass Contest. Mann Manor is considered the Halloween version of Mountain Lab, similar to how Harvest has an event version.
- There are rubber ducks hidden through out the map.
- There are ghostly voices throughout the map (male and female) that faintly tell you to "Stop touching stuff" or "Don't touch stuff". "Moustachio" and "Natascha" are also infrequently whispered.
- Despite not appearing on the Practice Mode map list, this map is completely compatable with TF2 Bots.
- However, bots do not count toward the "total player" count necessary to spawn the Horsemann nor the Haunted Halloween Presents.
- Behind the red team's Spawn, there are what seem to be glass "see-through" doors. Inside, there is what appears to be several monitors and and a mysterious figure sitting in a chairs front with the chair facing the monitors (so you see the back of the chair). All you see of the mysterious figure is his arm. Rumour has it that this may be the dead body of Silas Mann, or possibly just the administrator.
