Focus Features unveils sarcophagus popcorn bucket for highly-anticipated Nosferatu

As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast with a penchant for horror, I am beyond excited about Robert Eggers’ reimagining of the classic vampire tale, Nosferatu. With my love for atmospheric horror films like The Lighthouse and The Witch, I eagerly anticipate this gothic masterpiece that promises to explore themes of obsession and terror in 19th-century Germany.

On December 25, Robert Eggers’ eagerly awaited modern take on the Nosferatu tale hits cinemas. This chilling horror movie draws inspiration from F.W. Murnau’s 1922 German expressionist original and features Bill Skarsgård as the menacing Count Orlok, Lily-Rose Depp as his doomed love interest, along with an exceptional cast including Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

The movie is similarly impacted by Jack Clayton’s 1961 film titled “The Innocents.” As for this film, Eggers expressed that it might be one of the finest, if not the finest, gothic ghost movies ever created. The storyline of “Nosferatu” delves into themes of obsession and fear set in 19th-century Germany, demonstrating Eggers’ distinctive atmospheric style, a trait that has been evident in his previous works such as “The Lighthouse” and “The Witch.

To honor the premiere, Focus Features has revealed an exclusive item: a popcorn bucket modeled after Count Orlok’s sarcophagus. This intricately designed replica, boasting carvings and a detachable lid, has been admired for its functional elegance and thematic harmony. It showcases Art Nouveau in at least one aspect: Its function significantly influences its appearance. It stores popcorn in an eerie manner!

Where can you get the Nosferatu popcorn bucket?

Audience members have an opportunity to grab this special item at cinemas taking part in the promotion. Keep in mind, with the film’s intriguing synopsis, it seems like effective advertising all on its own: “Robert Eggers’ ‘Nosferatu’ is a chilling story about a young woman haunted by an obsessive vampire, leaving a trail of terror behind them…

For the film “Nosferatu”, there’s been a deliberate cloud of secrecy, particularly concerning Skarsgård’s interpretation of Orlok. As Entertainment Weekly puts it, “It won’t be until audiences flock to theaters on its premiere day this Christmas that the public at large will get a glimpse of the complete hair, makeup, and prosthetic transformations.

Renowned for his remarkable acting transformations, such as his chilling portrayal of Pennywise in It, Skarsgård reportedly collaborated with an opera coach to adjust his voice. He lowered it by an octave to capture the unique tone required for Count Orlok’s character.

Tickets are now available, and fans can immerse themselves in this dark cinematic journey—and perhaps take home a piece of its macabre charm with the sarcophagus bucket.
