Helltower is a Payload Race map added in the Scream Fortress 2013 Update. It is the Halloween-themed version of Hightower.
The objective is to push a cart of gravel containing the skeleton of one of the Mann brothers (Blutarch for RED, Redmond for BLU) to the lift at the high towers before the other team. Once either brother is pushed to the checkpoint, all players will be sent to a demonic cave only known as Hell.
In Hell, the teams are pitted against each other, and all players must attempt to enter the Skull Island. Any players killed in Hell become ghosts and must pursue the living players, however the ghosts have no way to deal any damage. Pressing primary-fire as a ghost will cause the player to yell "BOO", which can be used to startle living players but serves little other purpose. Players that survive and reach the book receive an empty spellbook called, unfilled fancy spellbook, if they do not already possess one in their backpack, which can be filled with pages found from the Haunted Halloween Gift. Only those that are alive and have reached Skull Island can receive the unfilled fancy spellbook.
Occasionally, Green Skeletons will spawn as well as Halloween gifts for random players on the server.
