Fortnitemares 2025 is here, and Epic Games has seriously gone all out this year. What used to be a fun seasonal event has become a massive pop culture mash-up, featuring some of the most iconic horror legends, surprise celebrities, and even nostalgic cartoon favorites. Whether you’re here for the scares or just the drip, there’s something for everyone.
Let’s break down all the confirmed Fortnite Halloween skins, their release dates, and some rumored characters that might still drop later this spooky season.
Confirmed Fortnite Halloween Skins (And When They’re Coming)
Thanks to reliable Fortnite leaker @SpushFNBR, we now have a near-complete calendar of upcoming skins for this year’s Fortnitemares. Here’s what’s live and what’s coming up:
| Skin/Collab | Release Date |
| Doja Cat | Thursday, October 9 |
| Ghostface (Scream) | Friday, October 10 |
| Shaggy & Scooby-Doo | Saturday, October 11 |
| Mystery Machine Van | Tuesday, October 14 |
| The Grabber (Black Phone) | Thursday, October 16 |
| Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) | Friday, October 17 |
| Velma, Daphne & Fred | Saturday, October 18 |
Yes, that’s right, Doja Cat is now a Fortnite boss, and she dropped on October 9, kicking off the event in the most unexpected way possible. She’s not exactly horror, but she’s definitely haunting the Item Shop in her own way.
Upcoming & Leaked Halloween Skins (Release Dates TBD)
Four other skins have been leaked, but don’t yet have confirmed release dates. Here’s who to keep an eye out for:
- Art the Clown (Terrifier)
- Wednesday Addams (Wednesday) – features actress Jenna Ortega’s likeness
- R.E.P.O. – a character from an obscure game
- Poppy Playtime – from the 2021 horror puzzle game of the same name
These could drop anytime after October 18, as Epic stretches out the event through the rest of the month.

The Best Fortnite Halloween Collabs (So Far)
With each passing year, Fortnite crossovers get bolder, and we’re loving it. From horror icons to unexpected celebrity drops, here are some standouts this year:
- Ghostface finally slices into Fortnite after years of fan requests.
- Jason Voorhees brings the slasher energy just in time for a Friday drop.
- Scooby-Doo gang (including the Mystery Machine!) adds a hilarious, nostalgic twist.
- Wednesday Addams, if the leak is true, might be the most anticipated skin left.
Classic Horror Icons Still Missing From Fortnite
Despite the huge lineup, Fortnite still hasn’t touched some of horror’s biggest names. Here’s a list of characters fans are still waiting for:
- Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street)
- Pennywise the Clown (It)
- Jigsaw (Saw)
- Pinhead (Hellraiser)
- Chucky (Maybe a back bling?)
- Hannibal Lecter
- Slenderman
- Pyramid Head & Silent Hill Nurses
- Clickers from The Last of Us
- Lady Dimitrescu (Resident Evil Village)
At this point, it’s only a matter of time before Epic dips into even deeper horror territory.
That Doja Cat Twitter Moment
In classic Doja Cat fashion, her Fortnite collab didn’t come without drama. On launch day, the official Fortnite Twitter account tweeted something that many interpreted as referencing a sex toy. Doja quickly took to her own account to say she didn’t write it and blamed Epic for making her look bad. Whether it was a misfired pre-scheduled tweet or a marketing stunt gone wrong, it certainly got people talking.
Should You Buy These Skins?
As always, buy what you like, not just what’s trending. Fortnite’s collabs tend to be limited-time and rarely return to the shop, especially around Halloween. So if you’re a horror buff or just a fan of a particular character, this is the time to grab them.
Some standouts worth grabbing:
- Ghostface – iconic, clean, and scary
- Jason Voorhees – perfect for Fortnitemares matches
- Wednesday Addams – if she launches with Jenna Ortega’s likeness, this one could become a collector’s item
