Players don’t need to grind any quests or Battle Pass in Chapter 4, Season 4 to claim these Fortnitemares 2023 skins. All of these skins feature in the shop, and players can gather their V-Bucks and purchase all of these Fortnitemare skins as of right now. These outfits come with their own cosmetics, marking unique collabs and items for players to wield whilst they try and get a Victory Royale or complete their Fortnitemares quests.

Michael Myers

Michael Myers Fortnite set

The Shape comes to Fortnite and finally gets out of Haddonfield for something more his style. The Fortnite island must be a dream for the horror icon Michael Myers, as he can kill his way through 99 other players, although not as brutally as his normal style, especially when he can hit the Griddy.

Players can get the Michael Myers Bundle for 1,800 V-Bucks, which will save them 1,000 V-Bucks if they were to purchase all items separately.

Michael Myers Outfit (1,300 V-Bucks)

michael myers outfit

The Bogeyman.

The outfit for Michael Myers is a classic, and players can enter the Fortnite island as John Carpenter’s original creation, complete with the cheap and bleached Captain Kirk mask from the original Star Trek series; even if it has taken an identity of its own thanks to Halloween.

Stab-O-Lantern Back Bling (Comes With Michael Myers)

stab-o-lantern back bling

Freshly-carved.

Considering Michael Myers loves Halloween, it’s no surprise that his Back Bling would be an iconic carved pumpkin. What’s even better, is that the knife inside the pumpkin is Michael Myers’ Pickaxe. The pumpkin itself is a reference to the Halloween opening credits.

Slasher Pickaxe (800 V-Bucks)

slasher pickaxe

Fresh from the kitchen drawer.

Michael Myers is a man of simple taste. If it can kill someone, then he’s happy. The kitchen knife is a great tool for Michael, and it comes to the Fortnite island with the Slasher Pickaxe. Whilst not the prettiest tool, it gets the job done.

Live From Haddonfield Emote (500 V-Bucks)

live from haddonfield emote

The night he came to rock!

This emote is perhaps one of the best emotes to come to Fortnite. In action, the emote will see players play on a keyboard with a knife, and commit to John Carpenter's iconic theme of the Halloween franchise, complete with all its ominous glory.

Alan Wake

Alan Wake Fortnite set

Alan Wake finally returns to gaming after years of clamoring from fans. Alan Wake 2 is soon to be available worldwide, and the highly anticipated horror/thriller sequel celebrates in grand fashion by bringing the renowned and troubled writer, Alan Wake, out of the Dark Place and into Fortnite.

Players can purchase the Alan Wake bundle for 1,800 V-Bucks, which will save them 800 V-Bucks from purchasing the items separately.

If players purchase Alan Wake 2 on the Epic Games Store before October 27, 2024, at 11:59 PM ET, they will receive the Alan Wake Outfit and Alan’s Messenger Bag Back Bling in Fortnite. Alternatively, if players own the skin already, they will receive 1,200 V-Bucks.

Alan Wake Outfit (1,500 V-Bucks)

alan wake Fortnite outfit

Best-selling novelist haunted by his own twisted tales.

Alan Wake has his appearance from Alan Wake 2, complete with a lovely-looking tweed suit, and a fashionable beard and haircut. Alan has left behind his jumper and coat for something more professional, and let’s hope he doesn’t get any blood on his new tie to celebrate the occasion.

Alan’s Messenger Bag Back Bling (Comes With Alan Wake)

alan's messenger bag

For keeping your secrets safe.

Inside this nice leather bag is Alan’s Pickaxe, the Dark Place Lamp. Whilst there isn’t much on show from Alan’s Messenger Bag, it’s a nice addition, although hopefully no pages fly from it and cause another collect-a-thon, and even if they did, Alan can’t write his way into a Victory Royale this time.

Dark Place Lamp Pickaxe (800 V-Bucks)

dark place lamp pickaxe

Lights out!

Whilst Alan uses light to weaken those birthed from the Dark Place, he can use it on the Fortnite island as a blunt object to smash and hit his foes, and use it as a Harvesting Tool to gather materials to crank 90s.

Dark Place Wrap (300 V-Bucks)

dark place wrap

Show your style.

Alan gets a rather haunting wrap that can be used on vehicles and weapons, featuring plenty of vague and mysterious messages, symbols, and sketches which are sure to come into play when it comes to a hands-on playthrough of the anticipated Alan Wake 2.

Jack Skellington

Jack Skellington Fortnite set

It’s a surprise to see a character like Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas come to Fortnite. Disney has often collaborated with Fortnite with Star Wars and Marvel, but this is the first time a character outside those iconic franchises has arrived at Fortnite. Perhaps Jack Skellington grew bored with Halloween again, although hopefully this time it won’t affect the holiday seasons, and will simply remain in the Fortnite loop.

Players can purchase the Jack Skellington Bundle for 2,600 V-Bucks, which will save them 1,400 V-Bucks from buying all the items separately.

Jack Skellington Outfit (1,500 V-Bucks)

Jack Skellington Outfit

Legend of Halloween Town.

Complete with his snazzy outfit, and his skeletal grin, Jack Skellington comes to the Fortnite island in all his musical and spooky glory. Not only do players get to access his normal skin, but they also receive a variant, with his Santa Suit equipped. By purchasing Jack Skelington, players will also acquire Zero and the Scary Face emote.

Zero Back Bling

Zero Back Bling

Loyal companion who always has your back.

As a Back Bling, players can access the ghostly and loyal dog of Jack Skellington. Zero is a great addition to Fortnite, and his animated actions and personality really shine as he follows Jack around on the Fortnite island.

Jack’s Scary Face Emote

Jack’s Scary Face Emote

Boo!

Keeping more in theme with Halloween, Jack’s Scary Face is a great emote that can only be used with Jack Skellington. It involves the character stretching his mouth to a horrifying degree to show off why he is the Pumpkin King and the most famous in all of Halloween Town. Sadly, or fortunately, players cannot use this emote on anyone but Jack Skellington.

Peppermint Parasol Pickaxe (800 V-Bucks)

peppermint parasol pickaxe

Don’t crack your teeth!

Jack Skellington’s love for the Holidays seems to be getting out of hand, as this collab item isn’t exactly themed for Fortnitemares, and instead seeks more in line with Winterfest, considering that it’s a Christmas tree umbrella with a candy cane handle.

Jack’s Sled Glider (1,200 V-Bucks)

jack's sled glider

Here comes Jack!

A skeletal reindeer, a coffin for a seat, and a garbage can to hand out gifts. Jack’s Sled Glider is pretty spooky and great for those who want to immerse themselves as the character Jack Skellington, or for those who just want to ride an undead reindeer.

Lock, Shock And Barrel's Tub Traversal Emote (500 V-Bucks)

Lock, Shock And Barrel's Tub Traversal Emote

Travel on clawfoot.

This Traversal Emote will see players pull off a devious grin as they ride around in a bathtub with four legs. As they enter the tub, spiders will burst from within.

When Will The Fortnitemares Skins Leave The Shop?

Fortnite has confirmed that Fortnitemares 2023 will end on November 3, 2023, at 2 AM ET. This means that the Fortnitemares and Horde Rush quests will be deactivated and made unavailable after this, and it’s expected that the Halloween-themed skins added for Fortnitemares will be removed from the Item Shop at this time as well to prepare for the elusive next Fortnite Season, and potential new Chapter.

With Fortnitemares coming to an end, players won’t have long to purchase one of these skins, and considering they are all licensed, it’s not possible to say whether or not they will return. There have been plenty of great collab skins in Fortnite that have not returned to the item shop, even after fan demand, so if players want to pick up Michael Myers, Alan Wake, or Jack Skellington, it’s probably a good idea to do so as they arrive, as it’s unpredictable if they will come back for Fortnitemares 2024, let alone in a few months time after a few Item Shop rotations.
