This year’s Fortnite Fortnitemares event brings an unprecedented lineup of spooky and exciting character collaborations, giving players plenty of new skins to collect throughout the Halloween season. The schedule for these releases has been revealed through recent leaks, allowing fans to plan their purchases in advance. While the sheer number of partnerships might feel overwhelming, the selection includes several must-have additions for any serious Fortnite enthusiast.
According to reliable sources, the rollout of these themed outfits begins immediately. Doja Cat’s skin becomes available starting Thursday, October 9, followed by the iconic Ghostface from Scream on Friday, October 10. The weekend continues with the beloved duo Shaggy and Scooby-Doo arriving Saturday, October 11. Early next week brings the Mystery Machine Van on Tuesday, October 14, with The Grabber from The Black Phone appearing Thursday, October 16. Horror fans can look forward to Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th on October 17, while Velma, Daphne and Fred complete the Scooby-Doo crew on Saturday, October 18.
Four additional collaborations currently lack specific release dates but are expected to arrive later in the event. These include Art the Clown from Terrifier and Wednesday Addams, featuring Jenna Ortega’s likeness from the popular Netflix series. Two video game characters round out the list: R.E.P.O. from a lesser-known title and Poppy Playtime from the 2021 indie horror game of the same name. The diversity of these partnerships shows Fortnite’s commitment to exploring various corners of the horror and entertainment worlds.
Considering the impressive roster, it’s interesting to speculate about which classic horror icons might still be missing from Fortnite’s collection. Notable absences include Freddy Krueger, Jigsaw, Pennywise the Clown, Pinhead, and Chucky, though the latter would likely need creative implementation as back bling given his small stature. Other potential candidates could include Hannibal Lecter, Slenderman, Pyramid Head, Silent Hill Nurses, The Last of Us Clickers, and Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village.
It’s worth remembering that Fortnite has previously introduced horror legends like Michael Myers and Leatherface outside specific Halloween events. The inclusion of Doja Cat among these terrifying figures creates an amusing contrast, especially since she appears as a map boss within the game. Her collaboration generated additional buzz when the official Fortnite Twitter account accidentally posted content unrelated to the game during the promotion. The singer publicly expressed frustration about the incident, though many found the situation more entertaining than concerning.
With this comprehensive schedule now available, players can anticipate which skins will join their collections throughout the Fortnitemares celebration. Updates regarding the remaining four collaborations will surface as their release dates become confirmed.
