Cabinet of Curiosities (TV series)

## Cabinet of Curiosities

Open Your Mind to Fear

> In centuries past, when the world was full of mystery, and traveling was reserved for the very few, a new form of collection was born. The cabinet of curiosities. Now this collection could be lodged in a building, a chamber, or a piece of furniture. In these private collections, one would find books, paintings, or specimens of natural and unnatural history. A dragon's tooth, a Fiji mermaid, a unicorn's horn. And behind each of these, a story.

> Guillermo del Toro, opening of "Lot 36"

***Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities***, originally titled ***10 After Midnight***, is a horror anthology series on Netflix from creator Guillermo del Toro. It premiered on October 25, 2022, with two episodes a day, running through October 28, 2022

Each episode of the series tells a different horror story "curated" by del Toro, who hosts the series and introduces each episode. Two of the episodes feature stories developed by the creator and co-showrunner, with different writers and directors spearheading each episode.

Guillermo del Toro personally introduces each episode of the series. Guillermo del Toro was originally set to direct one episode of the series, but the production of his *Nightmare Alley* and *Pinocchio* were both delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. He thus offered to host instead, in a style similar to *Alfred Hitchcock Presents*.

## Synopsis

The maestro of horror - Guillermo Del Toro - presents 8 blood-curdling tales of horror. This anthology of sinister stories is told by some of today’s most revered horror creators, including the directors of *The Babadook*, *Splice*, *Mandy*, and many more.

In CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, acclaimed Academy Award-winning filmmaker and creator, executive producer and co-showrunner Guillermo del Toro has curated a collection of unprecedented and 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.
