Your Halloween Movie Night Just Got Creepier
Have you noticed how movie-themed popcorn buckets are taking over theaters? It feels like you can’t see a big movie anymore without a wild, sculpted plastic tub being offered alongside it. From superhero gauntlets to sandworms, these collectibles have become a huge part of the moviegoing experience.
Well, get ready for the spookiest one yet. The iconic slasher Michael Myers is stalking his way into theaters, not on the screen, but as a popcorn bucket!
The Gory Details on the Michael Myers Bucket
Just in time for spooky season, Cinemark Theatres is unleashing an official Michael Myers popcorn bucket, and it’s perfect for horror fans. If you’re a die-hard fan of the Halloween franchise, you’re going to love the design.
A Design Straight from a Classic Scene
This isn’t just a simple replica of Michael’s famous white mask. The bucket is designed to look like a specific, gruesome moment from the end of Halloween II. Remember when Laurie Strode shoots Michael directly in both eyes? That’s the look they’ve captured, complete with the bloody wounds. It’s a wonderfully creepy detail that longtime fans will immediately recognize.
When Can You Get It?
Ready to eat popcorn out of a serial killer’s head? The Michael Myers popcorn bucket will be available at Cinemark locations starting on October 7. These kinds of limited-edition items tend to sell out fast, so you’ll want to be ready if you hope to add this one to your collection.
More Than Just a Popcorn Bucket
The arrival of this new collectible proves that the Halloween franchise is far from over. While you’re enjoying your snacks, it’s a good time to remember there are more Haddonfield horrors on the way.
A New Halloween Video Game
If you’ve ever wanted to step into the shoes of Michael Myers (or run for your life from him), you’re in luck. A new game, titled Halloween: The Game, is in development. It will feature asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay, where one person plays as the killer and others play as the survivors trying to escape. Think of games like Dead by Daylight, but set in the iconic locations from the original film. The game is currently scheduled for release on September 8, 2026.
The Franchise Returns to its Roots with a TV Series
There is also a Halloween television series in the works. While news has been quiet lately, the creators have said they plan a “creative reset.” What does that mean? They intend to go all the way back to John Carpenter’s original 1978 masterpiece, building a new story from that foundation. This is exciting news for fans who love the classic, terrifying atmosphere of the first film.
The Halloween saga continues to find new ways to scare us, whether it’s through games, new shows, or even a popcorn bucket.
