Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights is adding a Fortnitemares-inspired scare zone for 2026 that brings Fortnite’s seasonal Halloween vibe into the park. The new interactive area recreates elements of the game’s Fortnitemares celebrations for guests to experience as part of the event.
Where and when
The Fortnitemares scare zone is scheduled to open at Universal Orlando Resort beginning August 28. A separate run will start at Universal Studios Hollywood beginning September 3.

Details released indicate the experience is designed to translate the world of Fortnite into Halloween Horror Nights’ scare-zone format. The announcement emphasizes an immersive, interactive approach, with the scare zone inspired directly by Fortnitemares — Fortnite’s recurring Halloween event — rather than listing specific scenes, characters, or show elements.
