In case you are wondering, what is the popcorn bucket trend? Let us fill you in. Although movie theater merch has been part of the cinematic experience for quite some time now, the novelty bucket trend spiked in popularity earlier this year whenDune 2unveiled itsbutthole-looking sandworm bucket. Although we are sure the creators didn’t intend it to look that way, the NSFW bowl sparked an inappropriate trend.
Next up wasDeadpool and Wolverine, who unsurprisingly launched a rather obscenebucket featuring Wolverine’s wide open mouthas the popcorn entry point. Then, Terrifier 3 fans took things to new disgusting levels by petitioning to get a bucket made of the movie’s villainArt the Clown’s severed head. And, of course, we can’t forgetAlien: Romulus, which recently revealed its creepy bucket that features aface-hugger wrapped around the bowl.
After all of that, we for one are glad that the Beetlejuice 2 bucket takes a less lewd approach to the trend. In addition to the sandworm bucket, fans can also get their hands on popcorn containers which take the shape of both the Handbook for the Recently Deceased and Beetlejuice’s tombstone. All three Beetlejuice collectibles will be available to buy at US Regal theaters soon.
Welcoming back the Ghost with the Most, played by Michael Keaton, Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz, and Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, Beetlejuice 2 revisits the Deetz family as the ghoul is summoned once again by Lydia’s daughter Astrid Deetz, played by Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega.Poor Things’ Willem Dafoe,Mulholland Drive’s Justin Theroux, andThe Matrix’s Monica Bellucci also star.
