Plot Synopsis

In GUILLERMO DEL TORO's CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, creator, executive producer and co-showrunner Guillermo del Toro has curated a collection of 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.
