To celebrate the spooky season, new “killer” Chucky & Pennywise popcorn buckets are now available and already in high demand.
The collectible popcorn tin trend is set to grow dramatically this Halloween. The spooky holiday season offers the perfect opportunity for iconic horror franchises to release exclusive merchandise items as they typically do each year.
The popcorn tin craze has become increasingly popular among moviegoers, largely thanks to the infamous Dune 2 “fleshlight” design that went viral at the beginning of 2024.
Following this trend, franchises like Deadpool & Wolverine and Alien: Romulus have introduced their own collectible tins, with Terrifier 3’s tin even available for pre-order ahead of its theatrical release.
Furthermore, it’s not just upcoming releases that are receiving unique collectible tins. The re-release of 2022’s The Batman featured a fully functioning Bat-Signal popcorn bucket. Now, two iconic horror franchises are set to launch new collectible tins to celebrate Halloween 2024.

Cinemark theatres have unveiled their new Chucky and Pennywise popcorn head tins, featuring both iconic horror figures.
Chucky made his debut on the big screen in the 1988 classic Child’s Play, recognized as one of the best horror movies of all time, and has appeared in eight films. As part of Cinemark’s Halloween festivities, Bride of Chucky will also return to theatres throughout October.
Pennywise the Clown is the central antagonist in Stephen King’s IT, which has been adapted multiple times, first in 1990 and again in 2017.
However, unlike the new Terrifier 3 tins, these exclusive Chucky and Pennywise collectibles will only be accessible in theatres and cannot be pre-ordered or purchased online.
“I absolutely need these! Chucky and Pennywise are my two favorite horror icons ever,” noted one user, while other moviegoers are “begging” theaters to make the buckets available online, or at least disclose all locations that will have them in stock.
