Michael Myers
Michael Myers is set to make his appearance in the Fortnite Item Shop on October 24 at 8 PM ET.
The infamous Shape from Haddonfield will now venture into the world of Fortnite, seeking a new playground that suits his taste. The Fortnite island presents an enticing opportunity for the renowned horror icon to unleash his murderous tendencies upon 99 other players, although his methods may not be as merciless as usual, particularly when equipped with the Griddy. Let's delve into the captivating features that Michael Myers brings with him:
Michael Myers Outfit
The Bogeyman.
The outfit for Michael Myers is an iconic choice in Fortnite. Players have the opportunity to embody John Carpenter's original creation, which includes the instantly recognizable cheap and bleached Captain Kirk mask from the original Star Trek series. Despite Halloween's influence, this outfit has developed its own identity within the Fortnite universe.
Slasher Pickaxe
Freshly pulled from the kitchen drawer.
Michael Myers, a man with a penchant for simplicity, finds joy in any object capable of ending someone's life. For him, the kitchen knife serves as a formidable weapon, now making its way to the Fortnite island in the form of the Slasher Pickaxe. Though its aesthetics may not be impressive, this practical tool efficiently accomplishes its purpose.
Live From Haddonfield Emote
The night he came to rock!
This emote is undoubtedly one of the top-notch additions to Fortnite. When activated, players will be seen skillfully playing a keyboard with a knife, immersing themselves in John Carpenter's extraordinary Halloween theme from the iconic movie franchise, embracing all its eerie grandeur.
Stab-O-Lantern Back Bling
Freshly carved and emblematic, Michael Myers' love for Halloween is evident in his choice of Back Bling - an iconic pumpkin painstakingly carved. To add even more intrigue, the knife concealed within the gourd serves as his Pickaxe. This homage to the Halloween opening credits is a delightful surprise for fans.
Alan Wake
Alan Wake is scheduled for a release in the Fortnite Item Shop on October 26th at 8 PM ET.
After years of eager requests from fans, Alan Wake is making a triumphant return to the world of gaming. The much-awaited horror/thriller sequel, Alan Wake 2, will soon be launching globally. In a grand gesture of celebration, the renowned and troubled writer, Alan Wake, emerges from the Dark Place to join forces with Fortnite.
If players buy Alan Wake 2 from the Epic Games Store prior to 11:59 PM ET on October 27, 2024, they will be rewarded with the Alan Wake Outfit and Alan's Messenger Bag Back Bling in Fortnite. In case players already possess the said outfit, they will receive 1,200 V-Bucks instead.

Previously, Disney had collaborated with Fortnite through Star Wars and Marvel, making this the first instance of a character from a different renowned franchise appearing in the game. It appears that Jack Skellington may have grown tired of Halloween once again, although we can hope that this time it won't disrupt the holiday seasons and he will simply remain a part of the Fortnite world.

When Will The Fortnitemares Skins Leave The Shop?
Fortnite has announced that Fortnitemares 2023 will conclude on November 3, 2023, at 2 AM ET. As a result, the Fortnitemares and Horde Rush quests will be disabled and inaccessible. Additionally, the Halloween-themed skins introduced for Fortnitemares will likely be removed from the Item Shop to prepare for the upcoming Fortnite Season and potential new Chapter.
Since Fortnitemares is ending soon, players will have a limited window to purchase these skins. However, since these skins are licensed, it is uncertain if they will return in the future. In the past, there have been several collaboration skins in Fortnite that have not reappeared in the item shop despite fan requests. Therefore, to secure skins like Michael Myers, Alan Wake, or Jack Skellington, it is advisable to acquire them promptly, as their availability in future Fortnitemares events or subsequent Item Shop rotations remains uncertain.
