Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities

If you missed the anthology series Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities last year, then now is the time to catch up! The 2022 title has a star-studded cast, including Ben Barnes, Andrew Lincoln, Eric Andre, Rupert Grint, Sofia Boutella, Ismael Cruz Córdova, and other familiar faces. Each story tackles a different horror story, with two new episodes airing daily this week ahead of Halloween.

All eight episodes are worth checking out. Every story deals with dark subjects and the macabre, taking place in different time periods and tackling various threats. The first episode, “Lot 36,” tells the story of a man who buys a storage unit in an attempt to sell its valuable items, only to find there’s something evil living inside. Another episode, “The Outside,” follows a young woman who is so desperate to be seen as beautiful, she ends up damaging her skin and hurting a loved one.

Each episode is helmed by a different director, including Jennifer Kent (The Babadook, The Nightingale), Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Lords of Dogtown), David Prior (The Empty Man, Voir), and others.

We meet dark spirits, monsters, villains, heroes, and more throughout Cabinet of Curiosities, making this the perfect binge for the October season.

Must-watch episodes: “The Autopsy,” “The Viewing,” “The Outside,” and “The Murmuring”
