Okay, Enough. This Is the 2nd Popcorn Bucket That Has Haunted My Nightmares This Year.

It’s normal to have nightmares about legitimately scary things like bugs, murderers, and natural disasters. But is it normal to have them over and over again about popcorn buckets?

Well, that’s what the 2024 popcorn bucket scene is doing to me. And the newest one might be the most nightmare-inducing souvenir yet.

I’m no stranger to terrifying souvenirs. I write about things like giant Ewoks that stare into your soul and creepy Disney masks for a living.

But the popcorn bucket for the new Alien movie takes the top spot as scariest. Cinemark shared a sneak peek of the new souvenir on its social media platforms. I’ll take my popcorn in a regular old movie theater container, thank you…

Listen I love scary things like Halloween Horror Nights…but why? Just why? First, it was the Jabba the Hutt bucket earlier this year at Disneyland, but that doesn’t even compare to this item.

If for some reason you do want to buy this bucket (I’ll admit, it’s a fun collectible if you do like Alien) Alien: Romulus comes to theaters on August 16th, 2024. Watch the trailer for the film below! Warning: this movie is rated R.

The final trailer for #AlienRomulus has arrived.

Get tickets now and experience it in IMAX. In theaters everywhere August 16. https://t.co/N35mxAEvS8 pic.twitter.com/IsBESsLPbg
