Guillermo del Toro’s “Cabinet of Curiosities” is a collection of live-action stories that Netflix says “is 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.”


Here’s the full breakdown from the previous press release…
