The two-wave rollout strategy for Fortnitemares 2025 means content will continue dropping throughout October. The first wave began on October 2 with the K-Pop Demon Hunters collaboration, while the second wave starting October 9 brings the heavy horror hitters—including Ghostface, Jason Voorhees, and Scooby-Doo characters.
The Ghostface skin will be available exclusively through the Fortnite Item Shop for purchase with V-Bucks. There will be two purchasing options:
This pricing structure follows Epic Games' standard model for major crossover cosmetics, where individual items cost more per piece but the bundle offers significant savings for collectors who want everything.
The complete Scream Bundle includes multiple themed cosmetics that create the full Ghostface experience:
| Cosmetic Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Ghostface Skin | The iconic outfit featuring the classic white mask and black robe |
| Telephone Back Bling | Themed back accessory inspired by Ghostface's phone calls |
| Knife Pickaxe | Stabbing tool matching Ghostface's weapon of choice |
| Weapon Wrap | Custom wrap to give your weapons the Scream theme |
| Exclusive Emote | Special animation featuring Ghostface's signature moves |
| Loading Screen | Unique art piece for when the game loads |
| Voice Changer | Special feature that modifies your character's voice |
One of the most exciting additions coming with the Ghostface collaboration is the Stalker Knife mythic weapon. This special item will be available during Fortnitemares 2025 and is rumored to pack serious power—potentially capable of eliminating opponents with a single strike, similar to previous mythic weapons like the One Punch Man collaboration.
The Stalker Knife fits perfectly with the horror theme and will likely be found through special means during the event, possibly by defeating specific NPCs or completing Ghostface-themed challenges.
Fortnitemares 2025 runs from October 9 to November 1, 2025, giving players nearly four full weeks to enjoy all the Halloween content. Epic has implemented a two-wave release strategy:
This staggered approach keeps the event fresh throughout October, with new content and challenges becoming available regularly.

| Franchise | Content Type |
|---|---|
| Scream | Ghostface skin, Stalker Knife mythic |
| Friday the 13th | Jason Voorhees skin and medallions |

| Terrifier | Art the Clown skin |
| The Black Phone | The Grabber skin |
