- A look back at Team Fortress 2's Halloween events, all the way back to the first in 2009 and up to Scream Fortress 2020.
We relive all of TF2's epic Halloween boss battles, the crazy unique events that used to happen, the spooky cosmetics (Ghastly Gibus REPRESENT!) and creative ways to unlock them, and also consider how things have slowed down over the last few years with a focus on community content over any Valve developed updates.

What year's event is *your* favourite Scream Fortress?
2012
The first time i played TF2 on PC was 2011 and on halloween so i pick of course 2011.
2020
Scream Fortress 2030 (if the world hasn’t ended by then)
2012, I made (no joke) a shit ton of money for that time by farming spells on ten accounts and selling them on the market. Ah, this were a lot easier back then
There won't ever be a feeling like finally killing the horseman with melee and crafting the headtaker with the metal.
HEADTAKER FAM WHERE YOU AT? I remember thinking "why the heck would I want to craft a dumb HAT that doesn't do anything when I can craft this BAD ASS AXE instead?!"
I got mine a couple days ago, it's pretty swell :D
I just got mine yesterday I was REALLY happy
I hate myself for deleting that whyyyyyyyy
@YayDude123 it's been a few months, i already got it back but thanks anyway
It’s worth noting that the Merasmissions in the years before the Contracker item, had special voicelines from Merasmus that were very funny.
Merasmus himself is funny and fuckin great smh
"The recent Jungle Inferno Update" lmfao

was your brain while saying that
Hate that update, they made pyro abit too strong on the brain dead weps and will never balance them again
June 19 2008: air blast is introduced
Pyro mains in 2007: WM1 is GOD mode
seems like a lot of people are stuck in 2007...
im talking not only about W+M1 pyros, but also the people who screams "W+M1!!!!!" at any death to pyro
I thought you meant modern warfare 1 so i got confused
Tbh back then the only way to heal afterburn was healthpacks, medic, resupply, or super rare puddles of water. Afterburn was a genuine threat that could eat away half of the HP of 5 classes.
Every goddamn time scream fortress happens the amount of back burner pyros increases
Spooky!
The aneurysms I get from them are so spooky!
their more horrifying than kuni spy
3:30 Mann Manor was not a reskin of Mountain Lab. Both maps were created by different community members as part of the "Artpass Contest", in which valve provided the community with an un-artpassed map that they had in development and asked them to detail it. Mountain Lab and Mann Manor were the two winners.
I feel so nostalgia for the old events since I started playing just a month before the first event in 2009, I miss it so much, such a special game
Lets be real gibus is the best hat in the game if you dont think so you are lying to yourself
I also like the sophisticated smoker hat
And it makes me super sad I scrapped mine years ago when I didn’t know anything about the game
@@Jessie_Helms same :(
the metal one is better because it can be unusual
@@snappee but it's not as aunthetic as the gibus
I first started playing TF2 sometimr between the Pyroland and MVM updates. I was bummed when October rolled around and my laptop was still being fixed and it wasn’t looking like I’d be able to play screamfortress. Had school that Halloween, then trick or treated then came back to the miracle of my laptop being back that night!
I played throughout the night eating some Halloween candy. I still remember working on unofficial truces with the other team to kill Merasmus with loads of Huntsmen Snipers. Then I remember playing on gift servers where people were peaceful and let you get the gift. Still to this day that 2012 scream fortress was my favorite
Ah Yes ScreamFortress
Another Year Another Day Of 9 Hours On
GhostFort.
merasmus is here
Honestly there should be an achievement for how long you can beat merasmus
Mines level 23
another day of suffering through 20 min wait and 160 min playtime on Player Destruction
It never used to be this bad. Which is a shame as Ghost Fort used to be my favorite Scream Fortress level. They made him spawn too much and there not being an official truce also added to the fun
same
Halloween Update/Event is always my number 1 favourite for TF2
Smissmass my second
i miss the 13th hour, “its a secret to everybody” and harvest moon unusuals
What
TF2 just hit an all time new peak player amount in Oct 2020? That’s incredible.
I feel like the best scream fortress was the first one and the ones under the first are the ones that added the bosses
Nostalgia goggles
@Crynaotlod 4 months old and nostalgia goggles
@Crynaotlod old comment no need to say anything especially when you are wrong
Fans in 2014: Hey Valve can we get some more weapons or something?
Valve: BONUS DUCKS!
Damn bro
Goin the extra mile to have time stamps
I do miss valve made Halloween updates, bringing something truly new to the game. The community cosmetics are very nice, but the maps are a big mess since there is too much going on. Each map needs like all the bosses to be on the map on some point and spells out the butt, especially on the payload maps. I think next year we should get maps that have no bosses or spells. Or maybe even a mannpower event map.
I had a dream last night, that in 2021; Valve would add 5 new maps for scream fortress from the workshop. It was so vivid
@@moosemuffins2191 Ig that dream came true? How was Scream Fortress 2021 for you?
@@PLASBEZ I forgot that I wrote this one year ago, but indeed; valve has stepped up their game for Scream fortress this year. Personally, that ship has sailed for me and tf2.
We need More and More Halloween Events and Hats and cosmetics and Maps for TF2 to make the game live forever
Why don't Valve Hire all the Workshop Creators for TF2 and add them to the Current Two people TF2 Team ??
Something called salary and trust
Kaiji Paulhiac The community would do it for free. Hell, they already do. it's just the 2 valve devs that sometimes work on it can't be bothered to make such a drastic change
I really hope we get something unique next scream fortress. I'm getting tired of the soul gargoyle contracts every year. Honestly, the last time I enjoyed the event was 2013. They should also bring back those Halloween spells for cosmetics/weappns. I miss those.
Scream Fortress probably is my favorite thing in TF2.
MvM is nice thanks to its community made content (such as potato .tf), but not polished enough to be a lasting gameplay feature.
Regular TF2 gets old real quick. Scream Fortress is so wacky compared to other multiplayer games out there that it's a lot like a completely new game. Many games will try to emulate the crazy modifiers of TF2's Scream Fortress maps and map reskins, but overall, I think TF2 really, really, *really* got it right, to the point where I'm not even mad if the "new" (read: four maps and a bunch of cosmetics) content added is actually very poor.
Hopefuly TF2 keeps having those and perhaps it will even get a community update that isn't a trainwreck. That would be nice.
I just miss the halloween spells in Ghost Fort
Ever wish you could go back and relive TF2's updates?
if there is enough for a video like this i would love a history of bosses in tf2 even if it contained some modded ones
Superb video! My first Scream Fortress was 2015 and it was interesting to learn about each of the updates that preceded it
My favorite scream fortress is the one where valve does nothing and sees most of the profits
Scream Fortress is my absolute favorite time and part of TF2. The vibe, the music, the maps, boss battles, spells, it's all so much fun and always manages to give me a breath of fresh air in the game when Halloween time rolls around.
It's a shame that they don't really take any care to it anymore, and that it's now just an automatic update where you can play all the old maps and bosses, except they include some new halloween hats and maybe a map or two from the community.
I haven't played since 2013, thanks for the update!
Day of the dead engineer 3:50
I've just logged back into TF2 since 5 years yesterday, I was an f2p trader with an unusual, so bummed out that I can't trade anymore
My favorite Halloween thing ever was being able to shoot a pumpkin bomb with a huntsman and blowing up your teammates on Mann Manor.
You can?
@@dinonuggiesguy4847 not any more. That was patched long, long ago.

This was an excellent video, I really enjoyed it
OMG KILLER PUMPKIN SOLDIER! 3:41
so i am not the only one who ups his play time for october
Nice video man keep up the good work.
Oh my god look at spy... 3:48
It always bothers me that the horseless headless horseman doesn't have a heath bar UI
Aw yes my favorite casperr video style
Can't believe they haven't done boofort.
I remember the spells, I felt so festive I double spelled my gibus hat that year.
Such a strange decision for Valve to expire those spells and then never bring them back! I can only assume they felt the effects were too spammy on screen? But then again, that has never stopped them before so who knows really!
The statement about the domination achievement to get the Gibus is incorrect. The domination achievement was always in play from day one in 2009. However in 2012 they changed it so that players would get the newly made GHOSTLY Gibus rather than receive the base Ghastly Gibus and need to wait a year for it to upgrade to a Ghastlier Gibus, and eventually have the Ghostly Gibus style; the player just had them all available.
This is how I earned the hat in 2009 when it was first out as I had missed the link on the page.
I remember the first screamfortress. The running around for presents and people setting aside their differences to fight the boss
Oh boi, i love 2020 scream fortress.
I miss when no truce existed, it was way more exciting and special to get 24 people to all work together with no hand holding to take down Merasmus, Ghost Fort was by FAR my favorite Event map, but now it is sadly reduced to being a slog of waiting for people to kill Merasmus with a truce that completely ruins the point.
Going back to the good old days.
Scream fortress is nostalgic for me, it was when I first started playing team Fortress 2 and I was there for the first one and yes I got the original Gibus. Event harvest makes it feel like Halloween 2009 for me because that’s all I played! I miss it back then.
Man i remember being excited for a scream fortress update. Back when valve gave content drops scream fortress and i had a shitty pc that barely run tf2. Good times good times.
2020 is one of the best special cause it's accurate to real life
Ngl I miss your vids dude I love your vids and am very happy
Thanks my friend :) I am trying to stay productive - at least 2 more before the end of the year! And I'll be streaming regularly on twitch.tv/tf2casperr so be sure to follow me there!
You forgot to mention how gifts would randomly appear in a game, and only the first player picking it up would collect it, thus resulting in a hunt for the gift and also hours of rage cause you didn't get it. Then they changed it so that everyone could get it at the same time, and now we got that forsaken gargoil that just gives a bunch of souls
And also you used to be able to sell your spells on the steam market, and if I remember correctly some of them were actually pretty rare and expensive!
Honestly I really hate how we cant trade our Halloween drops anymore. On one hand, I understand why, since we can potentially get a lot more than we used to be able to, but at the same time it's just kinda boring, you can't trade with you friends to complete a set, and a lot of the cool stuff is just gone, like the pile of curses, aforementioned spells, etc.
Yeah it became very self centered instead of how community driven it used to be, especially because of the new missions (which I think are a great addition however) and the fact that nothing can be traded anymore
Wait wait wait I think pyro is about to die by a team of sole takers 10:24
After 11 years it was worth the wait
I wished they would have added new bosses and unique maps with games like Merasmus' carnivals
update: now at 82 pages of weapon balancing, but due to lack of sleep I think I'll stop their, though halloween/smissmas restricted weapons have always tickled my fancy
cant wait for scream fortress '23
Loved the video, as always ! I hope you remember me ;D
Amazing video, I enjoyed it a lot
BTW in 3:00 was that the time that I killed you in stream?
We need another massive crate of Halloween items that you can get through contracts damn it
Heckin spooky goodbye at the end!
MWAHAHAHA
i hope another boss is eventually added, those were cool
5:09 is this the thing that makes weapons glowy
Nope, it's the specialized or professional killstreak kits.
@@s.n.a.r.k.5146 I found it a little while ago thank u tho
My favorite scream fortress thing was killing merasmus and getting the skull topper.
Golden Age the Team Fortress 2 Halloween 🎃 2009-2014.
I’ve only played the 2020 scream fortress and it was really fun. Ofc it’s my favorite cause I’ve only ever played one
As a late player, I can't fathom the idea of valve pushing out tons of new and spooky content every year... KART RACING???? IN TF2????
I remembered how much hate i got in the early days being scout and always getting the present before all the others. at some games i was the only one that always got it.
The scary door? A man of culture I see
Probably worth noting, the gibus you aquire on the hidden page is not the same gibus you get from domination.
The evolving styles of the Gibus are mentioned
Its nearly scream fortress 2022
I actually have the monoculus and the bombinomicon, i though you got them by playing during Halloween!
I don't know why... but when I was younger and got my first real hats I deleted my gibus. I regret that decision with every ounce of my heart 😥
you can reclaim it by going on steam support and tell that you deleted the item by accident. There's a video on youtube that helps you with it, idk how it was called, i got mine back that way
i'm so sad i missed the event
Nice explanation. Always happy to hear about the events of the game.
Scrap metal that’s haunted... 3:44
I'm here from the future to tell you all that TF2 got a summer 2023 update and it broke all time player high again
getting much of halloween costumes some of with them u can craft rebuild headgears, free non halloween cosmetics
It’s kind of weird to think that, 10 years ago, a gibus was a symbol of wealth and (maybe) skill.
Last SF introduced two good maps monster Bash and i forgot the name
If megalo didn't have that train, it'd be my favorite Halloween map, hands-down.
I’m still salty.
I scrapped my Gibus wayyyy back in the day and have no way of recovering it
@AR - 09WS 704501 Heart Lake SS
It’s the quint essential TF2 hat.
Painted is someone who probably knows what they’re doing (unless it’s lime).
Normal is brand new or someone wanting you to *think* they’re brand new.
It actually goes with a lot.
It’s a memento of one of your first dominations.
lmao same :(
I dont feel myself
Nice!
Ahhh yes scream fortress the game mode everyone likes despite the fact it has MORE crits in the game
e...ever? wow I thought the game was dead, even after the last 9 times it died. when will I Iearn
I never knew any of this
Meramus be like:
**everyone casting spells and killing eachother**
Merasmus: So anyway the Japanese mafia-
they're going to break my legs unless i give them 10,000 dollars

Ayo they better make the fucking 2021 scream fortress be big since its the thirteeth
Wait he’s wearing bunny ears and it not even Easter.3:36
Is it just me or does the head taker talk to you? Like when I demoknight with it, it sounds like it’s talking to me.
Just you mate
(Paralyzed in fear) 👁👄👁
I stopped playing tf2 after the doomsday remake for halloween since there were not going to be any valve update, it became stale
Do you get another soul gargoyle if you deleted it? asking for a friend
You might have to contact Steam Support
You missed the part where players would need to compete in order to win the masks/sets in the first 3 events
It's always a challenge deciding what information to include in a video like this. With 13 years of events squeezed down into a relatively short, consumable video then some factoids will unfortunately get left behind!
@@Casperr honestly I think it was a very big part of Halloween, and when it was removed changed the way the event was played in a big way
It is scream fortress because my computer just AAAA
I really hope if heavy update drops tf2 team nerf amby more its still usable
imagine actually legitimately getting the Headtaker when you can just use Steam Achievement Manager amiright?
(this is a joke.)
Can you do smismass next ?
They don't tend to do Christmas updates in quote the same way as Halloween,
So here's the closest thing I have to that
