Coffin vs. Sarcophagus: What’s the Difference?
You might have heard these terms used interchangeably, but there’s a distinct difference between a coffin and a sarcophagus.
- Coffin: A simple burial box, often made of wood or metal.
- Sarcophagus: A stone coffin, often elaborately decorated with carvings or inscriptions. Sarcophagi were typically used by ancient civilizations and were often placed above ground in tombs or mausoleums.
So, the next time you’re watching a historical movie or reading a classic novel, you’ll know the difference between these two final resting places.
A Tale as Old as Time
Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a modern reimagining of the classic vampire tale. The official synopsis for Nosferatu describes it as “A Gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.” This is pretty much the plot of the original as well as with Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which F. W. Murnau illegally copied back in 1922. It was so illegal, in fact, that Stoker’s widow ordered all copies of the copyright-infringing film destroyed. Luckily for the world, one survived.
