As a seasoned gamer and horror movie enthusiast with a soft spot for creative marketing strategies, I must say that the upcoming popcorn buckets for movies like Terrifier 3 are right up my alley! After the NSFW debacle of Dune 2’s popcorn bucket, it’s refreshing to see a horror film sticking to its roots and delivering a terrifyingly themed snack companion.
In the coming month, the movie “Terrifier 3” promises to leave viewers jittery with fear. The eerie trailer hints at a gruesome Christmas involving Art the Clown and an unsettling opening sequence. Given these chilling elements, it’s advisable to have a comfort snack nearby to soothe our frayed nerves. Luckily, this upcoming horror flick is adhering to the current trend of offering popcorn buckets, but breaking away from another common practice.
The third chapter of Damien Leone’s horror franchise has already done a great job with promotion through its long-awaited trailer and its freaky Art the Clown hotline. Now, we’ve got a Terrifier 3 popcorn bucket to look forward to! In Cinemark’s sneak peek post, see if you notice a particular trend that the Christmas slasher is staying away from:

It’s obvious that the popcorn bucket features Art the Clown in his Santa attire, surrounded by Christmas decorations. Unlike other movie popcorn containers, it’s not explicit or sexual in nature. For the upcoming film “Terrifier 3”, this popcorn holder simply showcases Art the Clown looking as menacing and ready to join you at the theater.
The distinctive movie-themed popcorn buckets drew our attention initially with the upcoming release of “Dune 2”, but it was primarily due to their uncanny resemblance to a sex toy that had social media users intrigued. Even the cast of the sci-fi film found themselves hesitant about dipping their hands into this NSFW-looking container. Whether or not the creators intended for the “Dune” sandworm design to mimic a body part, it’s undeniable that the unconventional marketing tactic proved effective.
Following the popularity of the unique popcorn bucket from Dune 2, it was only fitting that Deadpool & Wolverine introduced a similarly eccentric bucket, featuring a hand inserted into Wolverine’s oversized mouth. Given the irreverent, R-rated humor that characterizes the Deadpool films, this development comes as no shock. Even the Amazon Prime series The Boys entered the popcorn bucket competition with a satirical take on a Love Sausage-inspired bucket. Who would have thought that obtaining popcorn could ever be so…risqué?
Once more, similar to Terrifier 3, it appears that the horror genre is sticking to its plan of filling popcorn containers with themes from its films. The sci-fi-horror movie Alien: Romulus took home the trophy for the best popcorn container design in 2024, featuring an alien’s menacing appendage wrapped around the bucket. The popcorn container for Beetlejuice 2 also didn’t disappoint with its sandworm-themed design wrapping around the bucket. Even though these horror movie-inspired containers aren’t explicitly sexual or NSFW, they still manage to make these snack companions seem quite frightening in a creative way.
The upcoming third film titled “Terrifier” breaks away from the common trend of R-rated movies associated with popcorn buckets, demonstrating that the movie by Damien Leone continues to deviate from traditional norms. Known for causing nausea through its graphic depictions featuring Art the Clown, these films never shy away from the slasher genre’s brutal aspects. In fact, it is likely that viewers may need popcorn buckets provided during the movie’s release on October 11th, 2024 in theaters as a makeshift barf bag. Additionally, you can pre-order Cinemark’s Art the Clown popcorn bucket on September 18th.
