Fifth Annual Scream Fortress Special.jpg
Claw your way through piles of musty books and skeletons while old people yell at each other about nonsense and get carried off to Hell! That's right, Team Feartress fans— we combined the terror of Halloween with the more muted and depressing terror of a retirement home, and accidentally invented an entirely new brand of horror! Then we realized listening to two old men bicker from beyond the grave isn't that horrifying, so we threw in a bunch of crazy spells you can cast at each other!

    • Several sentences can be read within an illustration of a spell book:
      • FEAR NOT THOSE WHO SEEK TO DESTROY YOU. FOR WITH THIS BOOK YOU ARE GRANTED THE STRENGTH OF A GIANT.
      • OR PERHAPS WHAT YOU SEEK IS A RAIN OF BURNING COMETS TO SMITE YOUR FOE.
      • A RAIN OF COMMETS(sic) ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU
