The Ghastly Gibus is an unlockable headwear item wearable for all classes. It is a slightly damaged, black gibus hat with the top nearly detached.
In a similar fashion to the Gentle Manne's Service Medal, this hat was originally earned by being one of the first 10,319 people to visit a hidden web page. The alternative method, through which it now can be unlocked, is to complete the Ghastly Gibus Grab Scarechievement by dominating a player wearing the hat. Unlike other Halloween items, the Ghastly Gibus is not seasonally restricted. Each Ghastly Gibus earned prior to the Scream Fortress update was changed to a Ghastlier Gibus.
The hat description was written by Esquilax for the Hat Describing Contest.

Trivia
- The Ghastly Gibus's original description was "Embroidered initials say 'Z.M.'", a reference to Zepheniah Mann.
- The Template:W was invented in 1800–10 and named for its inventor, a 19th century Frenchman. It is a men's collapsible top hat, held open or in shape by springs and usually covered with a black, silky fabric. It was made collapsible so that patrons of the opera could place it under their seats during the show, often garnering it the name "opera hat".
- The number of original Gibuses, 10,319, is a reference to the date they were given out; 10/31/09.
- Although there were 10,319 original Gibuses, the items do not include a number indicating the order in which they were acquired.
- While every Ghastly Gibus is marked as non-tradable, only the ones obtained with the Ghastly Gibus Grab Scarechievement are marked as non-craftable, such as all achievement items. However, trying to craft an original Gibus still doesn't match any blueprints.
