Deadline provided a description of the upcoming limited series: ” Del Toro has curated a collection of genre-defining stories meant to challenge our traditional notions of horror.

Del Toro himself also released a statement on Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.
“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,” Del Toro said, per Deadline. “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.”
