Guillermo del Toro is finally ready to show off the first proper trailer for his intriguing Netflix anthology called Cabinet of Curiosities. The series is made up of eight stories with names like “Graveyard Rats” and “Dreams in the Witch House,” and the first trailer definitely makes it seem like — while they’re all spooky — we’ll get a nice mix of genres and styles: haunted houses, gothic horror, and straight-up slasher stories.
That likely comes down to the variety of creative minds working on the show. While del Toro penned two original stories for Cabinet of Curiosities, the anthology also includes episodes from The Babadook director Jennifer Kent, Cube director Vincenzo Natali, and Mandy director Panos Cosmatos, among others. The series similarly has a wonderfully eclectic cast, including the likes of Rupert Grint (the Harry Potter films), Crispin Glover (Back to the Future), Ismael Cruz Córdova (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Elpidia Carrillo (Predator), and Charlyne Yi (Paper Heart).
Cabinet of Curiosities starts streaming on Netflix on October 25th, and it comes alongside several other promising Halloween movies and shows this year, including Netflix’s adaptation of the Stephen King short Mr. Harrigan’s Phone (October 5th), Mike Flanagan’s latest series The Midnight Club (October 7th), and Hulu’s reboot of Hellraiser (October 7th). There’s also more from del Toro coming later in the year with his stop-motion adaptation of Pinocchio, which is coming to Netflix on December 9th.
