Epic Games added Beetlejuice to Fortnite’s Item Shop on October 23, 2026, as part of the Fortnitemares 2026 event. The outfit, based on Tim Burton’s 1988 film character, costs 1,500 V-Bucks on its own or 2,400 V-Bucks as part of a larger bundle.
Key points
- The Beetlejuice outfit arrived in the Fortnite Item Shop on October 23, 2026, during Fortnitemares.
- The standalone skin costs 1,500 V-Bucks, while the full Beetlejuice Bundle costs 2,400 V-Bucks.
- The bundle includes the outfit, back bling, two emotes, a pickaxe, a guitar, kicks, and a wrap.
- Epic lists the bundle's regular value at 5,300 V-Bucks, making the bundle roughly 55% cheaper.
- The Beetlejuice cosmetics are scheduled to leave the Item Shop around November 2, 2026.
The skin gives players another seasonal option during Fortnite Chapter 7’s Halloween event, which has already brought in cosmetics tied to Slender Man and the Purge franchise. For fans who grew up with the ghost with the most, this marks one of the more recognizable horror-comedy crossovers to land on the island this year.
How to Buy the Beetlejuice Skin in Fortnite
The outfit was added to the game’s files with update 42.40 before its release. To purchase it, players need to open Fortnite, head to the Item Shop tab, and look under the Fortnitemares section for the Beetlejuice listing.
- Open Fortnite and go to the Item Shop tab.
- Find “Beetlejuice” under the Fortnitemares section.
- Select either the Beetlejuice Outfit (1,500 V-Bucks) or the Beetlejuice Bundle (2,400 V-Bucks).
- Hold down the Purchase button to confirm the transaction.
- Check your locker for the new cosmetics.
The outfit carries Epic rarity and includes the in-game flavor text “Say his name three times,” a nod to the film’s rule about summoning the character. Beetlejuice can’t fly in Fortnite the way he does on screen, but players who want some extra mobility can pair the skin with the Tails Sprite to hover or the Onigiri Sprite for the Overdrive effect.
What’s Inside the Beetlejuice Bundle
According to Epic’s official bundle listing, the full package includes eight items tied to the character and his world. Buying everything separately would normally cost 5,300 V-Bucks, so the bundle’s 2,400 V-Bucks price represents a discount of roughly 55 percent.
- Outfit — Fortnite Style Beetlejuice
- Back Bling — Beetlejuice’s Marquee
- Emote — Day-o
- Emote — Sandworm Surfer
- Kicks — Sandworm Sneakers
- Guitar — Six-Stringed Sandworm
- Pickaxe — Marquee Masher
- Wrap — Beetlejuice Spirals
The Day-o emote recreates the dinner-table dance scene from the film, while Sandworm Surfer lets players ride a giant sandworm and double as a traversal animation during matches. Reported prices for individual bundle pieces vary slightly by tracker — the back bling and sneakers are generally listed at 300 and 1,000 V-Bucks, respectively — though not every item’s exact cost has been confirmed by Epic.
When the Beetlejuice Cosmetics Leave the Shop
Epic has set the Beetlejuice skin and its related items to rotate out of the Item Shop on November 2, 2026, shortly after Fortnitemares wraps up. That gives players roughly a week-long window from launch to pick up the outfit or bundle before it disappears, with no confirmation yet on whether it will return in a future rotation.
The character’s arrival follows a string of Fortnitemares drops this year, including a free Slender Man skin tied to a competitive event on October 20 and the Lady Liberty Purge skin that launched on October 17. Dataminers had leaked the Beetlejuice bundle’s contents ahead of release, matching what eventually went live in the shop, as detailed in a report from Vice’s coverage of the skin’s reveal.
What Comes Next for Fortnite’s Spooky Season
Beetlejuice is one of the last Halloween-themed additions expected before Fortnite shifts into its Chapter 7 mini-season on November 1. Players have already seen teasers pointing to a pirate theme for the next stretch of content, including hints dropped in A$AP Rocky’s recent social media posts about an upcoming collab. For now, those wanting to scare opponents as the ghost with the most have about a week left to grab the skin before it exits the shop.
