Ever wonder if future archaeologists will stumble upon Michael Myers’ head—yep, the one you munch your popcorn out of—and think, “What on earth were humans thinking?” Back in my day, popcorn buckets were simple, shy guests at movie premieres. But now? They’ve gone full-on Halloween horror show—literally. Cinemark’s latest masterpiece, an official Michael Myers popcorn bucket, is hitting shelves October 7, just in time to kick off that spooky season vibe. Imagine noshing on your favorite snacks out of a guy who’s famous for creeping around with a knife—talk about a conversation starter, right? It’s based on that iconic moment in Halloween II where Myers gets a glaring shot of Laurie Strode’s justice, adding an extra slice of eerie authenticity. And this popcorn obsession isn’t slowing down anytime soon—recent releases have treated us to buckets inspired by everything from The Conjuring and Beetlejuice to Captain America and Alien. With the planets possibly aligning to stir the weirdest cravings, maybe it’s cosmic fate pushing us toward these quirky collectibles. Want to dive into the madness yourself? LEARN MORE
Centuries from now, archaeologists will scratch their heads over humanity’s bizarre devotion to movie-themed popcorn buckets. Back in the day, I feel like you’d only see one pop up for the occasional blockbuster, but now it seems like every film insists on having its own overpriced snack trough. The latest entry in this disposable tradition? Cinemark’s official Michael Myers popcorn bucket, because nothing says “movie night” like eating snacks out of the head of a serial killer.
The Michael Myers popcorn bucket will be available for purchase on October 7, helping to mark the start of the spooky season.
The bucket looks to be based on the ending of Halloween II, where Myers was shot in the eyes by Laurie Strode.
Just in the last year, we’ve had special popcorn buckets for The Conjuring: Last Rites, The Naked Gun, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Captain America: Brave New World, Gladiator II, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Alien: Romulus, and more. Hell, even Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu had a f***ing bucket! If I sound like a grumpy old man, I suppose I am.
Speaking of Halloween, there are several projects in the works to keep fans happy before the next inevitable big-screen reboot. First up is Halloween: The Game, which will let players choose between playing as the iconic Michael Myers or as residents of Haddonfield. There will be a single-player mode, offline bot combat, and online asymmetrical PVP gameplay. It will also include multiple maps and “authentic locations” from the classic film. It’s set to be released on September 8, 2026.
Additionally, a Halloween TV series has been in the works, but it’s been a while since we’ve heard anything concrete about it. Two years ago, Miramax’s Marc Helwig said the project was on the fast track. “We’ve had lots of exciting conversations in recent months with a number of really talented people, and I think we’ll have a pretty good idea of what we’re going to be doing very soon,” he said. “We’re hoping to lock down the creative team very soon. The foundation of (the show) is the original film, the John Carpenter movie, the characters of that film, and perhaps a group of characters that we haven’t really focused on that much in recent film versions or even in a number of them. It’s a creative reset completely and going back to the original film, as opposed to spinning out of any of the more recent film adaptations.“
