The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim Review - More Franchises Should Take This Anime Film's Example
Nosferatu viewers have the chance to spend a night in the vampire's sarcophagus for a high price tag. The 2024 gothic horror feature directed by Robert Eggers is a remake of F.W. Murnau's groundbreaking but unauthorized 1922 silent film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Focusing on a vampire setting his sights on a fearful town, Nosferatu stars Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe, and Ralph Ineson.

Audiences can now try out the coffin used by Nosferatu's leading vampire for themselves in a surprising piece of merchandise. Announced through the Focus Features website, a limited run of beds shaped like Count Orlok's sarcophagus will be produced for a short period, with the base structure being constructed of detailed carved wooden elements, a custom-fit mattress, and a foam lid easily removed for slumber. Weighing 250 pounds with dimensions of 97.75" in length, 36" inches in width, and 46.5" in height, the collectible bed is available to purchase on its own page for $20,000.

With Skarsgård's appearance as Count Orlok hidden in most marketing, Nosferatu has instead honed in on some surprising elements to merchandise the highly-awaited feature. Alongside being made into a collectible replica bed, Nosferatu's ominous sarcophagus will be present in select theaters as a display piece, and Regal Cinemas have joined in on the rise of collectible popcorn buckets with offerings shaped like the sarcophagus.

Alongside more typical merchandise offerings such as clothing items, Nosferatu's surprising coffin-shaped collectibles do highlight the excitement surrounding the movie. Despite being adapted from an influential silent movie from over 100 years ago, the iconography, along with Eggers' prestige and passion for the project, have amplified interest and anticipation. Focus Features' eagerness to merchandise Nosferatu in the most inventive of ways shows that the company is aware of its potential impact, and seeks to make the most of it.
Our Thoughts On Nosferatu's Surprise Bed Replica Though Unconventional, A Replica Bed Will Keep Audience Discussion Going
As Nosferatu rounds out 2024's most anticipated movies, it's only fitting that its tie-in merchandising offers many surprises for audiences. With Orlok's final appearance likely to be absent from all Nosferatu trailers and commercials in order to ensure viewers get their first glimpse when sitting in the theaters, Focus Features has been forced to rely on other iconography to capitalize on. Arguably, with its role in not only the Count's slumber but also his transportation, the coffin is perhaps the second-most notable element that could be replicated for merchandising opportunities.

Though its status as a limited-run item sold at a high price will limit those who will purchase Orlok's sarcophagus, it is certain to help keep the movie's marketing going without spoiling any potential surprises. As such, a highly-detailed replica bed may be a strange piece of Nosferatu memorabilia, but nevertheless, it plays a fun role in promoting Eggers' long-awaited remake.
