Fortnite hosts a Halloween event called Fortnitemares every year, making October one of the most exciting months in-game. During this time, there are plenty of themed questions, unique weapons, and items that return specifically for the event, and most importantly, lots and lots of spooky skins.
6 Disney Villain Skins Perfect for Fortnite
The worst of Disney's most ghastly foes are set to debut on the Fortnite Battle Royale island, and some definitely deserve a spot as the most cruel.
While we've listed the best creepy and scariest skins in Fortnite, this article is dedicated to the skins that fit the Fortnitemares theme perfectly, so gamers can look spooky rather than scary - although some of them are undeniably scary.
6 Patch Patroller
Budget-Friendly Fortnitemares Skin
- Release date: Chapter 1 Season 6
- Price: 800 V-Bucks
Players who are low on V-Bucks can still rock a Halloween skin in Fortnite, and Patch Patroller is the perfect example of this. For only 800 V-Bucks, gamers can acquire a classic black and orange, pumpkin-themed skin for Fortnitemares.
On top of that, Hawk model skins aren't that commonly seen in Fortnite Battle Royale, so besides not having to spend that many V-Bucks to unlock this cosmetic, players will also look unique while wearing it.
5 Billy
Play a Game with Billy the Puppet
- Release date: Chapter 5 Season 4
- Price: 1,500 V-Bucks
There are various Fortnitemares collab skins in Fortnite. The Fortnitemares 2024 annual event kicked off with the release of Billy, the infamous puppet seen in the Saw movies.
Fortnite: How to Get Billy the Puppet Skin
This guide tells players what they need to know about the Saw cosmetics available in Fortnite, including the iconic Billy the Puppet skin.
There is no doubt that Billy fits the theme of Fortnimares, and even if players aren't fans of gore and Saw, this skin surely is a tempting purchase. It also comes with a creepy TV as a back bling, which showcases scenes of Billy in the Saw movies.
4 Bone Boss
A Halloween-Ready Fortnite Classic
- Release date: Chapter 2 Season 4
- Price: $19.99
Durrr Burger is one of the most-known characters in Fortnite. Over the years, several Durrr Burger-themed skins have been released, so of course, it made sense for Epic to create a Halloween skin for fans' variant hamburger food chain in Fortnite.
To get the Bone Boss skin in Fortnite, players will have to purchase the Skull Squad set for $19.99. If they're Fortnitemares fans then they'll be happy to know that it includes four bone-inspired skins besides Bone Boss: Fishskull, Skull Squad Leader, and Bone Ravage.
3 Hollowhead
Halloween Raven Variant
- Release date: Chapter 1 Season 6
- Price: 1,500 V-Bucks
Raven is already an eerie skin, but Hollowhead takes it to the next level. Hollowhead has a body and an outfit that's very similar to Raven, but its head is a pumpkin with a strange glowing essence inside it that comes out of its carved features.
Hollowhead first came out in 2018, and it has made an appearance in the Item Shop every October or November since then, so if players are thinking of buying it for Fortnitemares, it's very likely that it will continue to come back.
2 Curdle Scream Leader
A Monter-ish Mix of Classics
- Release date: Chapter 2 Season 8
- Price: 1,200
Curdle Scream Leader is a mix of Tomatohead and Cuddle Team Leader - two iconic Fortnite skins. However, there's a creepy twist here that makes this skin perfect for Fortnitemares: the two halves appear to be reanimated versions of each skin. The Tomatohead part of the skin looks sluggish while Cuddle Team Leader seems to be very much awake thanks to the electricity connected to its part of the brain.
Lastly, the Llamabomination back bling that comes with this skin is definitely the cherry on top of the cake.
1 Skull Trooper
A Mandatory Fortnitemares Purchase
- Release date: Chapter 1 Season 1
- Price: 1,500 V-Bucks
Skull Trooper is one of the most iconic skins in Fortnite. It has been around since the first edition of Fortnitemares back in 2018, which is why it is so well known in the Fortnite community and outside of it. There is just something about this Jonesy dressed up as a creepy skeleton that sets it apart from other spooky skins in the game.
