But when is movie icon Michael Myers joining the battle royale\u2019s annual spooktacular?<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Other available skins this season are Jack Skellington and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-alan-wake-map\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alan Wake<\/a>, but, let\u2019s face it, we all want John Carpenter\u2019s creation the most.<\/p>\n<p>But how does one acquire the iconic slasher skin? And when is it coming out? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When is the Michael Myers Fortnite skin release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Rumours around the web seem to be strongly suggesting that the Michael Myers skin will come to Fortnite on\u00a0<strong>Wednesday 24th October\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 we\u2019ll know at 1am BST, when the Item Shop refreshes, if that rumour is correct!<\/p>\n<p>Similar rumours predicted the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-jack-skellington-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Jack Skellington release date<\/a> with surprising accuracy, so we\u2019ve got a good feeling about this. But still, take it with a pinch of salt unless Epic Games confirms it!<\/p> <h2><strong>How to get the Michael Myers skin in Fortnite<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To grab the Michael Myers Skin, you\u2019ll need to purchase the right bundle. In the item shop, look for \u201cThe Shape\u201d bundle, which should be quite prominent given the season!<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019t spoil the emote, but it\u2019s pretty funny.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How much will the Michael Myers Fortnite skin cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If Epic provides the ability to buy the skin on its own, like they did with Jack Skellington, we\u2019d expect the Mike Myers Fortnite skin to cost around 1,500 V-Bucks.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how much Jack Skellington costs in Fortnite, after all, and we\u2019d be surprised if there was a discrepancy between the two, to be honest.<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6338231434112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <h2><strong>When will the Michael Myers skin be available until?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As the skin is a part of the Fortnitemares event, you\u2019ll only be able to purchase it \u2013 and the rest of The Shape bundle \u2013 before the event ends. But when does the event end?<\/p>\n<p>Fortnitemares ends on<strong> Friday 3rd November 2023<\/strong> \u2013 just after Halloween, as you\u2019d expect. Chapter 4 of Fortnite will end at exactly the same time.<\/p>\n<p>So don\u2019t miss your chance!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
