Best Horror Games In Fortnite

Fortnite is known for being a popular game due to its crossover events and battle royale, but thanks to its creative mode, the game can now feature multiple genres, such as horror. The scariest map in Fortnite shows a lot of promise regarding ambiance and technology, which can excite you to see what’s coming next.

This list will show some unique horror maps that feature a good amount of gameplay while still giving you the chills; some of them focused on popular horror movies, while others are brand-new ideas that provide a fresh take when mixing horror and Fortnite.

Updated on February 24, 2024, by Mohamed El Ouardighi: It’s been a while since we updated this list, so we went ahead and checked whether these games still exist, adjusted some formatting, and added a couple more horror Fortnite maps for you and your friends to get spooked.

Evil Resident

You’re Not Home Alone

Resident Evil has a solid legacy, but someone decided that there was additional potential by playing around with the name. That’s how you end up with one Fortnite map creator putting together the horrifying experience that is Evil Resident, a… thing that lives in the house you are in and happens to be evil.

Having an unwanted guest is troubling, but having a murderous monstrous guest who relishes hunting and killing you is a top-tier nightmare. You and another player will be trapped in a large dark house where you’ll need to solve puzzles and riddles and collect necessary objects to escape while a twisted evil resident hunts you from the shadows.

Scary Doll

As If Chucky Was Not Enough

This horror map delivers an immersive experience with its first-person perspective and stunning visuals, making it feel like a game of its own. From the moment you step inside, the unsettling atmosphere takes hold, and the presence of a creepy, relentless doll only heightens the tension. Every step through the darkened areas keeps you on edge, never knowing when it might strike.

You play as a house assistant, arriving at a woman’s home while she’s away for a few days. What starts as a simple task quickly turns into a nightmare as strange occurrences begin unfolding around the house. A sinister doll and a lurking monster make their presence known, turning the once-normal space into a terrifying trap.

The Sound Of Fear

Nothing Sounds Terrifying

Why do people insist on making wooden and porcelain dolls and puppets? No evidence suggests that the average child or person wants one of those things in their field of view at any given time. But, that is the fear you’ll be fighting among others in The Sound Of Fear.

Of course, you’ll be exploring the one place where these things thrive: an antique shop. You’re there to solve the mystery of why the owner suddenly disappeared and what happened to them. This requires looking around for clues and information all the while trying to get an old music box to play more and more of a haunting melody.

Impostor

Trapped Leagues Under The Sea

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea is a horror story and this is something that we will all need to accept. We still haven’t explored most of the ocean and what little we have seen has terrified us in one way or another. Despite that, nothing is scarier than being trapped far underwater with people and not knowing who to trust.

The Impostor map has you and other people serving together in a secret underwater facility, but one of them is working against you. Nothing is scarier than what our minds can conjure when faced with paranoia. It’s nerve-wracking not knowing who to trust, but unbelievably so when there’s no reliable option to get away.

Carnival Escape

Another Reason To Flee The Circus

Carnival Escape features multiple levels in which you must find the keys to escape and survive the night. You find yourself all alone in the middle of the 4th of July, waiting for the rest of the people who went to the carnival. This map’s lighting effects and reflections are stunning, giving it an excellent design, especially in some rooms.

The game mode can be played alone or with friends, and it has some creepy clowns that watch your every move as you try to find the keys hidden throughout the levels. From rooms full of mirrors to the dark, oppressing atmosphere of the carnival, there is a lot to explore on this map, and hopefully, you will survive while you are at it.

Night Shift

Night Shifts Are Already Scary

Nightmare Shift is a solid horror map that pulls you in with its first-person perspective and the unnerving feeling that you’re not as alone in the abandoned building as you might think. The dimly lit rooms create an eerie atmosphere, and it’s surprising how much a simple change in perspective can heighten the tension. For the best experience, it’s recommended to play solo.

There’s plenty to sink your teeth into, with multiple endings to uncover, each packed with unexpected scares. As you explore, you’ll need to piece together clues while being hunted by a relentless and terrifying presence that won’t stop until it catches you.

The Night At Pizzeria

Another Pizza, Another Batch Of Murderous Animatronics

The Night At Pizzeria is based on the trendy Five Nights At Freddy’s game series, and the first-person look at the map gives it that feeling of being a horror experience. You will need to check the doors and lights on the level as you survey the cameras to see if the animatronics are moving.

While the controllers can be hard to learn initially, once you have the hang of it, it becomes a delightful map to play as you try to survive the horrors of the pizzeria while managing your resources – a faithful recreation of the FNAF series worth playing. The map is single-player due to the nature of the mechanics in the gameplay.

The Backrooms

There Is Definitely Something In The Back

The Backroom started as a meme and has become multiple games that are all scary and frightful as they house numerous terrifying creatures. This horror map is a fantastic recreation of the experience as the environments are crafted to perfection, and it is a great work to find out what these rooms are all about. The isolation it features makes it a good choice for a single-player map.

You clip through rooms and visit empty offices where dangerous creatures have been sighted. It is a fun map and another example of what Fortnite will be able to accomplish in the future as these recreations of maps and game modes become more accurate and spooky to play through.

Evil Awaits: Haunted Escape

No Waiting, No Way, No How

Evil Awaits: Haunted Escape is one of the best horror games in Fortnite, as it features multiple scary locations you will have to go through to escape. Each location has a hidden spot to advance you to the next level.

Each section of the map is as scary as the previous one, and the ambiance that the map provides is spot on, as the graphics and environment are spooky enough to make you feel tense. The map can be played single-player, but it is more fun to play it in multiplayer, so grab some friends and have some fun with its multiple chapters.
