Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities will give viewers fright and delight when it hits Netflix on October 25 for four nights of dark stories. The horror maestro’s eight-story anthology series of sinister stories gave us a quick teaser and some casting information previously to amp up interest. Now we get to revel in a full trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. And it is just as bizarre and intriguing as we hoped it would be.
To start off, Guillermo del Toro himself tells us to picture our minds as a cabinet. He sees it as a place where we lock up our dark thoughts and deep fears. He asks us what would happen if we opened that cabinet for the world to witness. And, I don’t know about you, but there are some weird things hanging around in my horror-loving brain. But my thoughts are nothing like what del Toro unlocks in this Cabinet of Curiosities trailer. Creepy homes with ghost families, weird paintings, slimy creatures, and all sorts of horrors come to life in exciting ways. And for fans of the genre, we see more than a few familiar faces. The list includes Andrew Lincoln, Rupert Grint, Eric André, Sofia Boutella, and Ismael Cruz Córdova. What a cast, indeed.
We will have to wait and see what these stories unfold. But we do have the official Cabinet of Curiosities synopsis to pique our interest further.
In Cabinet Of Curiosities, acclaimed Academy Award-winning filmmaker and creator, executive producer and co-showrunner Guillermo del Toro has curated a collection of unprecedented and genre-defining stories meant to challenge our traditional notions of horror. From macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque or classically creepy, these eight equally sophisticated and sinister tales (including two original stories by del Toro) are brought to life by a team of writers and directors personally chosen by del Toro.
It’s time to dive into the dark recesses of Guillermo del Toro’s twisted and talented mind.
