    Halloween 2010 Items and how to get 'em:

    The Horseless Headless Horseman's Head: Kill or assist in killing the Horseless Headless Horsemann

    Of Note: "While wearing the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head, you are immune to the Horseless Headless Horsemann's "Boo" taunt."

    Halloween Masks: Receive random class mask for finding Halloween Gift on Mann Manor map

    Saxton Hale Mask: Craft all 9 Halloween 2010 masks together

    Haunted Metal Scrap: Land at least one blow on the Horseless Headless Horsemann with a melee weapon (Seems it does not have to be the final blow as we thought last night, This explains why we were seeing multiple players receiving it on a single kill)

    Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker: Crafted w/ 2x Refined Metal + Unusual Haunted Metal Scrap + Scotsman's Skullcutter

    Of HUGE Note: Crafting 2 Refined Metals with an Unusual Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker will yield one of the 4 Halloween 2010 hats as well (Horrific Headsplitter, Spine-Chilling Skull, Voodoo Juju, or Cadaver's Cranium) These hats sell for $10 each in the store.

    Ghastlier Gibus: All Ghastly Gibuses received prior to the second Halloween Update on October 27, 2010 were replaced with the Ghastlier Gibus.

    Big Thanks to Beartato, Spence and everyone else on the server last night for working together to figure these out. We somewhat farmed and forced everyone to use melee when the Horsemann spawned so as many people as possible could get the Haunted Metal. We had some players that either wouldn't listen, had their speakers off and/or couldn't take a hint and I had to layeth the smacketh down. I hope I didn't sound like I was on a power trip, just trying to allow everyone to have their fun.

    Big <3 to Valve for a freakin' Awesome update
