These days, every major horror release seems to need an outrageous themed popcorn bucket to survive the box office, and Evil Dead Burn is absolutely no exception.
Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema have officially unveiled a tie-in collectible inspired by one of the upcoming film’s most gruesome trailer moments: a character falling backward into an open dishwasher, landing directly onto a rack of upright kitchen knives. The studio leaned heavily into the fandom’s unhinged suggestions and actually constructed a miniature, movie-accurate dishwasher popcorn bucket—complete with an exposed knife rack right where you’re supposed to grab the popcorn.
It’s ridiculous, incredibly dangerous-looking, and completely perfect for the franchise. But there is a massive catch.
Can You Buy The Evil Dead Burn Popcorn Bucket?
Unfortunately, horror collectors will have a hard time finding this one at their local concession stands. According to reports from Dread Central, the horrifyingly creative bucket won’t actually be for sale.
Instead, the dishwasher piece was “created strictly as a promotional display piece” to drum up hype on social media. While a bucket that actively hazards a stabbing might have faced some legal and safety hurdles in real theaters, fans are already chanting like Deadites online for a limited commercial release.

First Reactions to the New Sequel
Directed by Sébastien Vaniček, the upcoming film follows a woman who seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home after the loss of her husband. However, the gathering becomes a family reunion from hell as members are transformed into Deadites one by one.
The first reactions recently began circulating on social media, and it sounds like this is another gruesome win for the long-running horror franchise. Gloriously mean-spirited. Seriously nasty. Relentlessly twisted. These are just some of the descriptions which emerged from the screening. Count me in. Evil Dead Burn will hit theaters on July 10.
Vaniček’s Evil Dead Burn isn’t the only Evil Dead movie on the way. We’ve also got Evil Dead Wrath, which was written and directed by Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop in Yuma County). The film takes place in 1972, which actually sets it before the events of Sam Raimi’s original film.
