Fortnitemares Leaks: Terrifier and Wednesday Skins Coming Soon
Get a first look at the rumored Art the Clown and Wednesday Addams crossover skins coming to the Fortnite Item Shop for Fortnitemares.
Spooky Season is Coming to the Island
Halloween is coming early to Fortnite. Data miners have been digging through the latest update files, and what they found is bound to make horror fans lose their minds. Every year, Epic Games goes all out for Fortnitemares. We usually get creepy map changes, unvaulted weapons, and massive crossovers. If the latest leaks are anything to go by, October is going to be one of the wildest years yet. Reliable community insiders have just uncovered code pointing to two huge, highly requested characters headed to the Item Shop: Art the Clown from the gory Terrifier franchise, and Netflix’s beloved goth icon, Wednesday Addams.
A Shocking Guest: Art the Clown
For horror buffs, the inclusion of Art the Clown is a massive shock. The Terrifier movies are famous for their extreme, over-the-top violence. It is definitely not the family-friendly vibe Epic Games usually goes for. But Fortnite has never shied away from mature legends. We have already seen the likes of Michael Myers, Ash Williams, and Xenomorphs drop from the Battle Bus. Art fits right into that creepy lineup.
According to the leaks, Art’s skin will capture his unsettling black-and-white clown suit. He is silent, expressive, and deeply creepy. Insiders suggest his cosmetic set will include a dirty trash bag back bling—a direct nod to his weapon carrier in the films. Players might also get a squeaky horn emote, perfect for taunting opponents after a clutch victory. His pickaxe? Rumors point to a rusty, blood-stained hacksaw. It is a bold choice for Epic, but one that horror purists will absolutely love.
The Perfect Fit: Wednesday Addams
On the other side of the spooky spectrum, we have Wednesday Addams. This collaboration feels like an absolute no-brainer, especially given the massive global success of the Netflix series. The leaked files suggest a skin modeled closely after Jenna Ortega’s modern, sullen portrayal of the character. Naturally, players can expect her gloomy Nevermore Academy school uniform as the default style, with perhaps a casual all-black outfit as an alternative.
The real star of this set, though, is rumored to be her companion. The sentient severed hand, Thing, is expected to serve as a reactive back bling. Imagine Thing riding on your back, pointing out enemies, or gesturing whenever you get an elimination. That level of detail is exactly what makes Fortnite crossovers so special. And yes, before you ask, leakers claim her viral cello dance is being turned into a traversal emote. Get ready to see lobbies full of players doing the iconic dance before matches start.
Release Windows and V-Buck Pricing
Epic Games has not officially confirmed these skins yet, but the timing is highly predictable. Fortnitemares typically kicks off around mid-October. This means we will likely see these spooky bundles hit the Item Shop sometime between October 12 and October 26. Epic loves to stagger these releases to keep the hype building all month long.
As for pricing, you should start saving your V-Bucks now. Individual crossover skins usually cost around 1,500 to 1,800 V-Bucks. If you want the full bundles—which generally include the skin, back bling, pickaxe, glider, and custom emotes—expect to shell out closer to 2,300 V-Bucks per character. There is no word yet on whether these will feature in-game challenges for free rewards, but Epic usually offers at least a few free Halloween-themed items for everyone who participates in the event.
More Fortnitemares Surprises
It is not just about the skins, though. Fortnitemares is also rumored to bring back classic gameplay elements. The infamous Pumpkin Launcher is almost guaranteed to make a return, alongside Witch Brooms for fast mobility across the map. There are also whispers of a brand-new point of interest themed around a haunted carnival, which would fit Art the Clown’s aesthetic perfectly. The popular co-op Horde Rush mode is also expected to return with fresh challenges.
Where else can you see a silent killer clown hit a dance emote after being sniped by Wednesday Addams? It is absurd, chaotic, and incredibly fun. Keep your eyes on the skies and your gold saved. This October is going to be a scream.
