Valve celebrated All Hallows Eve in an update for Team Fortress 2 last year, and it's doing so again in 2010 with the release of a new map called the Mann's Manor. The new map--which is out now and available within a free update--contains exploding pumpkins, a surely chilling atmosphere, a random gift box drop, and a first for the series: a certain headless NPC that can kill you. That's right--the Headless Horseman has been added to TF2.
Valve describes the Horseman as a "randomly spawning boss monster" that is exclusive to Mann's Manor. And speaking of exclusive, the Mann Co. Store now has 10 new Halloween-themed items (hats and the like) that will only be available for purchase during the season, according to a Team Fortress 2 blog post, but will be wearable year round. Get to purchasing, I suppose.
One more map has been added to the game in this latest update, too. It's a level called Mountain Lab and it was created by Valentin "3Dnj" Levillain for the Art Pass Contest, which the author won, alongside Tim "YM" Johnson and Alex Kreeger's Mann's Manor.
