The NOSFERATU popcorn bucket is truly a dream

One of the most anticipated horror films this winter is Robert Eggers’ remake Nosferatu. Yes, they remade FW Murnau’s 1922 silent film classic back in 1979. But the director’s idea of The witch And The lighthouse give the world his take on the groundbreaking gothic film? This makes horror fans bare their fangs (in a good way). And like every highly anticipated movie these days, there’s a matching popcorn bucket for collectors. Focus Features developed this Nosferatu Popcorn bucket that looks like Count Orlock’s ornate coffin. You can see a preview of what it looks like here:

This is the type of popcorn bucket that can easily become the coolest candy container ever when Halloween comes around next year. The official summary for Nosferatu describes it as “a gothic tale of obsession between a persecuted young woman and the terrifying vampire who is in love with her and causes indescribable horror.” Yes, that sounds pretty in line with the original and also with Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which FW Murnau illegally copied as early as 1922. In fact, the film was so illegal that Stoker’s widow ordered all copies of the copyright-infringing film to be destroyed. Luckily for the world, one survived. These undead are difficult to kill.

Play Count Orlock Nosferatu is Bill Skarsgård, who is no stranger to sporting sharp teeth in film after playing Pennywise. The rest of Robert Eggers’ very impressive cast Nosferatu Starring Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe. Interestingly, Willem Dafoe played a version of Nosferatu in the 2000 cult film Shadow of the Vampirewhich earned him an Oscar nomination. It’s difficult to track down this film these days for unknown reasons, but it’s well worth seeing. Nosferatu hits theaters on Christmas Day and tickets are already on sale.
