Universal Parks is bringing Fortnite's annual Halloween event, Fortnitemares, to Halloween Horror Nights for the very first time. Horror Society reports that new Fortnitemares scare zones will open at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood this fall, marking the first Fortnite crossover in HHN history.
Orlando's event runs August 28 through November 1, while Hollywood opens September 3 and also runs through November 1, according to NBC Palm Springs. Both events take place on select nights only.
Freaky Fields and the Battle Bus Land at HHN
The centerpiece of the Fortnitemares zone is called Freaky Fields. Insider Gaming reports the zone drops guests into an intense, high-stakes battleground built around Fortnite's signature Halloween theme. The iconic Battle Bus also appears as a key feature of the experience.
Known Fortnitemares characters will roam the zone, including Skull Trooper, Hollowhead, and Curdle Scream Leader. Horror Society notes that Universal is adding exclusive HHN-only Fortnitemares characters that do not appear in the game's regular Halloween event. Environments may also change on repeat visits, keeping the experience fresh.

Fortnitemares is one piece of a much larger HHN 2026 lineup. MP3s & NPCs reports the event will include ten haunted houses and five scare zones total. Nine houses have already been announced, with tie-ins to Stranger Things, Sinners, Evil Dead, and Hellraiser.
Street experiences will also run throughout both parks. Horror Society confirms events like Mel's Die-in: Zombies and Club Horror are part of the lineup. Killer Klowns from Outer Space is also teased for a street-level experience, though full details have not yet been released.
