Come on, admit it: you also have your house filled with plastic skeletons, you’re thinking about learning to carve pumpkins, and you’re meticulously choosing movies for your horror movie marathon filled with blades, machetes, blood, spirits, and guts. And Halloween, despite increasingly blending with Christmas in supermarkets, is a special time that tastes like dry leaves, hemoglobin, emotions, and delightful terror. And in Fortnite they know it very well: that’s why they have prepared a bloody menu that’s most delicious for horror fans. Let the slaughter begin!

Starting this Saturday, the Fortnite map will turn red with the appearance of various skins and weapons that will delight those who, besides engaging in multiplayer shooting, know exactly who Wes Craven and John Carpenter are. Because, after all, how would you feel about replacing your usual characters with Leatherface? The antagonist of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, who has already appeared in nine films, continues wielding the chainsaw and dismembering now in video game format (although he already had a very controversial one for the Atari 2600).
Next to him, we will have Billy, the puppet from the Saw movies, a franchise that has just entered its tenth installment and is now, indeed, going to play a game. Interestingly, the movie also had two video games that did not exactly receive critical acclaim. Opposing these two horror icons, we will have Edward Scissorhands, the character from Tim Burton, and several Disney villains.

If you are one of those who follow this Disney sub-category that has become so famous these years, you should know that Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil, and Maleficent will make their appearance, although they won’t be the only ones, because it has already been said that the villains from the mouse company will gradually appear in Fortnite. Oh, yes! And in addition, a new weapon will be added: you can play with chainsaws, which is something that suits Leatherface perfectly. Are you ready for the massacre to begin in Tilted Towers?
