Ever wanted to live deliciously with your very own Robert Eggers replica prop? Well, for $20,000, now you can.
The Sarcophagus bed from upcoming horror film “Nosferatu” is available to purchase for fans everywhere. It’s a full-size replica of the one used by Bill Skarsgård’s Count Orlok on screen. It isn’t exactly a Casper — the bed is handcrafted from “premium materials” and sits on a wooden base with “intricate carvings,” per Focus Features — hence the price tag.
The announcement email continued, “This highly-collectible Sarcophagus also features a distinctive interior with a custom-fit mattress and foam lid for easy opening at sundown.” In other words, it’s a coffin — and not a small one.
The “Nosferatu” Sarcophagus bed weighs 250 pounds, is “sanded and hard-coated,” and comes with a Numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Grab a tape measure and head to your dungeon — you’re gonna want to make sure this fits. The outside of the Sarcophagus (including lid and base) measures 97.75” length, 36” wide, and 46.5” high. Big for a coffin, but it won’t exactly fit a king size bed. Hell, it wouldn’t even fit a twin, width-wise.
The beds are made to order and on a limited run.
“Nosferatu” premieres in theaters this Christmas from Focus. Eggers’ gothic tale also stars Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe.
No word on if Skarsgård found the original set piece to be cozy, but he recently told Deadline that he was “uncomfortable” in the prosthetics the role required.
“To create that voice it was just a heavy labor of a performance. The prosthetics took forever. Everything was very uncomfortable. You were very hot and you were very itchy and sticky. And then for me to just being able to use that voice that we worked so hard on, there was a whole regimen every morning,” Skarsgård said. “Not only every morning, but between every take. Between every scene, there was a whole routine that I built up in order to access the voice.”
He continued, “I became very obsessed…I was so in that mind state that I felt this is pure evil. I felt that the movie was evil. I think that felt like we were doing some sort of evil, dark, magic sorcery at times. I certainly don’t feel that way about the movie now that it’s complete. I think it’s actually beautiful. It’s scary and it’s horrific, but there’s also a lot of beauty in it. And it’s sensual and sexual and it hits on so many different layers. But in terms of reaching out as far as humanly possible away from yourself, and gathering whatever it is that you can gather, and just transforming yourself, this is, I think, probably as far as I’ll go in my entire career.”
