How to get Michael Myers skin in Fortnite: When is the release date?
Put on the mask...
Halloween is almost here, with Fortnitemares already in full swing. But when is movie icon Michael Myers joining the battle royale's annual spooktacular?
Not to be confused with Mike Myers (groovy, baby!), fans of the Halloween film franchise will be looking forward to playing as this iconic villain.
Other available skins this season are Jack Skellington and Alan Wake, but, let's face it, we all want John Carpenter's creation the most.
But how does one acquire the iconic slasher skin? And when is it coming out? Let's take a look.
When is the Michael Myers Fortnite skin release date?
It's available now! The Michael Myers skin came to Fortnite on Wednesday 24th October - just as the rumours predicted, it was added to the Item Shop overnight.
Similar rumours predicted the Jack Skellington release date with surprising accuracy, so this isn't too much of a surprise.

How to get the Michael Myers skin in Fortnite
To grab the Michael Myers Skin, you can buy it in the Fortnite Item Shop. You have to buy it, with no free route being provided on this occasion.
In the Item Shop, you might also want to look for The Shape bundle, which should be quite prominent given the season!
As well as the skin, the bundle contains Stab-O-Lantern, Back Bling, Slasher pickaxe and the Myers-related Live From Haddonfield emote. We won't spoil the emote, but it's pretty funny.
How much will the Michael Myers Fortnite skin cost?
The Mike Myers Fortnite skin price is 1,500 V-Bucks. That's how much it'll cost you to buy on its own.
That's how much Jack Skellington costs in Fortnite, too, at the moment. So again, not a massive surprise here!
When will the Michael Myers skin be available until?
As the skin is a part of the Fortnitemares event, you'll only be able to purchase it - and the rest of The Shape bundle - before the event ends. But when does the event end?
Fortnitemares comes to a close on Friday 3rd November 2023 - just after Halloween, as you'd expect. Chapter 4 of Fortnite will end at exactly the same time.
So don't miss your chance!
