Summary
Since 2017,Fortnitehas treated fans toFortnitemares:spooky in-game fun celebrating the Halloween season. What started simply with the addition of creepy skins and the Jack-O-Launcher soon evolved into a chaotic yearly event of Cube Monsters, creepy quests, and new skins.
Now every year,Fortnitefans expect something bigger and better, especially when it comes to new skins. Original skins with a horror twist and licensed characters appear in the Item Shop with each newFortnitemaresupdate. With so many horror franchises and spooky themes to draw inspiration from, a fan’s wishlist for newFortnitemaresskins keeps growing.
Emote
Spinning Kick Stake Attack
Buffy the Vampire Slayeris a TV show that mixes horror and humor in a way that fits perfectly with Fortnitemares. Both Buffy and Fortnitemares blend action and monster battles with an irreverent vibe.Buffy The Vampire Slayerhas a long cast of characters to choose from when looking for cosmetic ideas but it is best tostart with The Chosen One: Buffy Summers.
She is strong and athletic and would prove to be very popular if she appeared in theFortniteItem Shop.The vampire Spike would be the next best choicefor players as his bad-boy demeanor would fit well in theFortnitemaresevent.
Machete Sharpening
Jason Voorhees is the cursed killer of Camp Crystal Lake who stalks and murders teens inthe classicFriday The 13th movie franchise.Fortnitefans have been begging Epic Games to add Jason to the game for years, but to no avail. The imposing and supernatural figure of Jason, in that recognizable hockey mask, would make such a creepy addition to theFortnitemaresline-up.
The horror icon would certainly be an intimidating and creepy character in the game. It would be easy to see him slashing his way through Cube Monsters!Fortnitealready has Michael Myers and Leatherface from other horror franchises, so Jason is surely next on the list.
Abduction By A UFO
The spooky duo from thelong-running TV show,The X-Files,could prove to be popularFortniteskins, especially duringFortnitemares. The X-Filescenters on the supernatural, deep conspiracies, and strange happenings, much like theFortniteuniverse. FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully should come as a pair of skins in a bundle so players can switch between them whenever they like.
With so many monsters around during theFortnitemaresevent, players will need some experts to turn to. Who better to help Jonesy and the team defeat the next horde, than the experts who have seen things beyond anyone’s imagination?
Using Powers To Flip Cars
Carriehas risen to popularity again in recent years thanks to the remake of the classic 1976 movie starring Sissy Spacek. Most people now know about her abnormal powers and vengeful scenes following that fateful prom night, and where better to showcase them than during a Halloween event in a popular video game?
Fortnitemaresis home to otherworldly creatures so Carrie should feel right at home among the ghosts and ghouls. If she does start to feel bullied when facing sweaty squads or hordes of Cube Monsters, she can always fight back with her telekinetic powers. Her sweet but scary vibe would fit in well in theFortniteuniverse even afterFortnitemareshas ended.
Slice And Slash (Great Knife)
Pyramid Head fromSilent Hillwould make anyFortniteplayer run for safety thanks to his blood-stained apron and unwieldy knife. The voiceless and deadly monster is an antagonist in bothSilent HillandDead By Daylight, so bringing him toFortnitecould stir up a lot of interest, particularly during theFortnitemaresevent.
Pyramid Head is scary and intimidating, which could make a very popular choice of character, especially in solo Battle Royale mode. Pyramid Head certainly wouldn’t look out of place in a horde rush as players attempt to take out swathes of Cube Monsters, and now is the perfect chance considering the Bloober remake ofSilent Hill 2.
Mary and Sarah
Flying on a Broomstick (Traversal)
The Sanderson Sisters - Winifred, Mary, and Sarah - made a return to the big screen after a 29-year absence withthe anticipatedHocus Pocus 2in 2022. Since they now have a brand-new audience, all three would make funFortniteskins. The movies featuring the three witches are a Halloween staple, and many families watch them every year.
This popularity, particularly around October, means the three spooky witches could be very popular as skins inFortnitemares.Having the Sanderson Sisters flying into theFortnitemap would be quite an amazing sight.
Audition Dance
Modern horror icon Pearl could make a unique and creepy skin inFortnite,particularly if she had thatunsettling smile from the end creditson her face the entire time. It would be especially apt if the sweatiestFortniteplayers used the skin of this obsessive and sinister character. Being tracked down by a crazed, smiling woman in overalls would be pretty frightening.
Fortnitemaresis all about the creepy and the kooky, so, of course, this axe-wielding maniac would fit in fine. If Pearl entered the world ofFortniteduring theFortnitemaresevent, she would easily take on hordes of monsters with her axe and pitchfork.
Head Shrink
Fortnite: Save the Worldhas a Beetlejuice-inspired skin (Beetlejess), but nothing would compare to the real thing. BothFortniteandBeetlejuiceare full of action and comedic moments so to see the two worlds collide would be perfect. The character of Betelgeuse seems like such an obvious choice forFortnitemares,thanks to hislong-standing statusas a spooky movie icon.
IfFortniteever adds the snarky demon, players should expect to see other characters too such as Lydia Deets and Bob The Shrunken Head. The endless possible emotesFortnitecould introduce, such as the Banana Boat Day-O scene, would also add to the fun!
Jumpscare
Freddy Fazbear fromFive Nights At Freddy’sis another skin the community has been asking about for years now.The horror fiction franchise is highly popularand would be a great crossover forFortnite,especially duringFortnitemares.Freddy and his friends would make for a very creepy squad to come across!
Undoubtedly, rumors will keep circulating about the addition of Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Springtrap until the crossover is finally confirmed. The strange and creepy animatronic animals hold a special place in many young gamers' hearts, so the addition of them toFortnitemaresmakes a lot of sense.
Twitching Clicker Walk (Traversal)
Clickers fromThe Last Of Usare grotesque former humans overtaken by the fungus and would make perfectly hideous skins inFortnitemares. Fortnitecould also put its own spin on the cosmetics by giving them Cube Monster effects, with purple skin and glowing effects. If adding Clickers is a scary step too far for the PEGI 12 game,then Ellie and Joel would also make a fine pairof skins inFortnite.
They just wouldn’t be as fun to look at.Fortnitemaresis an event fraught with dangerous monsters, so the hideous Clicker would just add to the already horrifying scene. The fungus-zombie creatures were once human so it is also possible to add the cordyceps detailing to original skins like Jones, Spitfire, or Ramirez.
