But they'll release it on Valve time, so we'll have it just in time for Christmas.

Haha, I've been doing this exact gimmick, same loadout and everything, for the past couple days.

There's no killstreak kits for the Headtaker, though. :(

Actually, that's pretty decent of them. I don't want the Halloween season to end, it and the Xmas season are the only two times of year that make life worth living. So when everyone else is starting to wind down and leaving us in holiday withdrawals, Valve swoops in and gives us another week or two of Halloween to maybe keep us from putting a revolver into our mouths just long enough to make it to the Christmas season.

Gabe's a hero.

It's that dead, depressing, dreary time between New Years Day and Mid-October that's the hardest to survive.

Try going to the crafting menu, clicking on "Special" (the purple star), and it should be the second one from the bottom.

A quick Google search shows this to be a common problem it seems, so it's not just you at least.

Literally no other person with this problem had an answer from anyone although I only spent 2 minutes looking.

I think you get that error when there are problems with the item servers. It happens a lot after updates where new crafting recipes are added. Not much to do other than wait and try again later.

I'll be turning my server (teufort teuquick in the OP) into a 24/7 halloween map server whenever it goes up for a good week. Since valve servers are up for easy picking now for quickplay, it probably won't be as crowded as helltower was last year when the update drop so it'll work fine for most folk.

There are six letters in scream.

If you mispell it as "fortrs" that's also six letters.

So this is "666"

Well they said they were going to replace random gifts with a fixed bundle for everyone (and another if you get all the achievements), so there probably won't be a huge number of items.
