Guillermo del Toro’s Anthology Horror Series CABINET OF CURIOSITIES Terrifying Trailer

CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

Guillermo del Toro is working on a new horror anthology series coming to Netflix, called Cabinet of Curiosities. It offers a mysterious first look at some of the twisting nightmares and violent delights of the show. It was also revealed that the series will air on October 25th.

The series will consist of eight blood-curdling tales of horror, and these wicked stories are told by some of today’s most respected horror creators. Del Toro talks about the series in the promo and it features some great footage from each of the stories and showcases the realistic makeup effects that were used to bring the beasts in these stories to life.

The stories in Cabinet of Curiosities are “meant to challenge our traditional notions of horror. From macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque or classically creepy, the eight sinister tales — including two original works by del Toro — will be brought to life by a team of writers and directors personally chosen by the Shape of Water filmmaker.”

Del Toro said: “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. Just in time for Halloween, each of these eight tales is a fantastical peek inside the cabinet of delights existing underneath the reality we live in.”

The series also features a cast that includes Andrew Lincoln, Ben Barnes, Essie Davis, Crispin Glover, Eric André, Sofia Boutella, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Rupert Grint, Kate Micucci, and Charlyne Yi. Other actors who were previously announced include F. Murray Abraham, Luke Roberts, Tim Blake Nelson, Hannah Galway, Glynn Turman, Elpidia Carrillo, Demetrius Grosse, Sebastian Roché, Peter Weller, and David Hewlett.
