‘Scary Movie’ Is Leaning Fully Into Stoner Culture With Its New Popcorn Buckets
The latest installment to the horror parody franchise Scary Movie arrives in theaters on June 5, and to celebrate, the creators take laughs to a new high with bong-inspired popcorn buckets.
In a sultry teaser video shared on the film’s official X account, the team showed off three bucket sizes ranging from small to large. Each bucket includes a down stem attachment filled with liquid—possibly butter—though the design leaves out a bowl, making the whole thing feel more like an elaborate visual gag than an actual functional bong. Which, considering they’re likely plastic, makes sense.

Given the franchise’s satirical DNA and the fact that no major theater chain has officially backed the merch yet, the buckets could simply exist as part of the joke itself. Then again, if the buckets actually hit theaters, the marketing team behind Scary Movie clearly understands its audience.
Because realistically, a bong makes a terrible popcorn container. But as a piece of stoner-bait movie merch? Different story entirely.
With June around the corner, fans likely won’t have to wait long to find out whether the buckets are real or just another punchline.
