From The Master Of Horror: Guillermo Del Toro’s Creepy Anthology Will Be Up On Netflix

The Academy Award-winning director of such films as Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water always finds his name attached to seemingly half a dozen projects at any given time, which includes the long-awaited release of his stop-motion version of Pinocchio on Netflix this December, but he’s also got something for the horror fans in the house.

Netflix has released the first look at Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, a horror anthology series with eight installments, each directed by well-established or up-and-coming horror auteurs.

“Curiosities” consists of eight stories, each intended to challenge traditional notions of horror. Featuring two original stories by del Toro, “Cabinet of Curiosities” also involves different directors and writers for each episode, including Jennifer Kent (The Babadook), David Prior (The Empty Man), Guillermo Navarro (Narcos), Keith Thomas (Firestarter), Panos Cosmatos (Mandy), Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), Vincenzo Natali (In the Tall Grass) and Ana Lily Amirpour (Girl Walks Home Alone at Night).

Del Toro didn’t personally direct any of these installments, though he did have a hand in writing two of them.

The story titles, which are revealed in the special first look, include “Dreams in the Witch House,” “Graveyard Rats,” “Lot 36,” “Pickman’s Model,” “The Autopsy,” “The Murmuring,” “The Outside”, and “The Viewing.”

“With Cabinet of Curiosities, we set out to showcase the realities existing outside of our normal world, the anomalies and curiosities. We hand-picked and curated a group of stories and storytellers to deliver these tales, whether they come from outer space, supernatural lore, or simply within our minds. Each of these eight tales is a fantastical peek inside the cabinet of delights existing underneath the reality we live in.” Del Toro said in a statement.

He continues,With Cabinet of Curiosities, what I’m trying to say is, ‘Look, the world is beautiful and horrible at exactly the same time.”

And we couldn’t agree more.

“Cabinet of Curiosities” will roll out as a four-day, double-episode Netflix beginning with two episodes debuting on October 25 and running through to October 28.

Del Toro and J. Miles Dale serve as co-showrunners and executive producers, with del Toro also serving as host. Gary Ungar executive produces while Regina Corrado co-executive producers.
