Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu" is the holiday gift horror fans (and cinephiles in general) can't wait to unwrap this upcoming Christmas Day. Starring today's preeminent monster portrayer Bill Skarsgärd as Count Orlok, the film has critics raving (/Film's Chris Evangelista gave it a glowing review) and awards groups awardin' (the National Board of Review recognized Jarin Blaschke for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography). We'll have to wait until January to find out if the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences deem it worthy of Oscar nominations, but we do know at least one voter, three-time-Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro, believes it's one of the year's very best (he recently moderated a Q&A with director Robert Eggers).
With so much hype surrounding what purports to be an old-school fright flick rich with atmospheric design work across the board, you're probably wondering, "How can I spend top dollar to refurnish my home in the style of a movie I haven't seen?" If that's where your mind is right now, the NBCUniversal Shop would like to sink its fangs into your wallet.

Behold, the "Nosferatu" Replica Sarcophagus Bed! If you're a fan of sleeping in tight, enclosed spaces, and want to enjoy the experience before hitting the eternal hay, this limited-run sucker would look marvelously macabre in your bedroom. Here's the sales pitch from NBCUniversal:
"For the best sleep of your life. A full-size replica Sarcophagus bed as featured in Robert Eggers' 'Nosferatu.' Hand crafted from premium materials including a wooden base with intricate carvings. These highly collectible Sarcophagi also feature a distinctive interior with a custom-fit mattress and foam lid for easy opening at sundown. Beds are made to order."
The beds are also good and snug at a length of 97.75" and width of 46.5," i.e. sized for a twin mattress, and not necessarily built for bumpin'. If this sounds diabolically divine to you, the Nosferatu Replica Sarcophagus Bed can be yours for $25,000. If that's a wee bit out of your price range... do you like popcorn?
If the answer to that is "Of course," then you'll be thrilled to learn that Regal Cinemas has teamed with Universal to bring you the "Nosferatu" Sarcophagus Popcorn Bucket.

And if all of this sounds quite absurd to you, just pre-purchase your tickets and watch "Nosferatu" like a normal person when it descends on theaters December 25, 2024.
