“With Cabinet of Curiosities, we set out to showcase the realities existing outside of our normal world: the anomalies and curiosities," del Toro said of the new series. “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. 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.”
