If the month of October puts you in the mood for Gothic horror stories or classic romance films, Guillermo del Toro's latest has you covered either way. Crimson Peak, the dark fantasy film starring Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, and Jessica Chastain is set to kick off the Halloween season in a big way when it opens on October 16th. But regulation movie screens and standard camera lenses can't capture the high detail and glorious gore of Crimson Peak, so it will also be rolling out in IMAX formats.

To that end, a new IMAX featurette for Crimson Peak is now available for your viewing pleasure. It features del Toro alongside his cast members as they talk about the lavish production that went into making the film, how it's a throwback to classic studio productions of the mid-twentieth century, and how the IMAX format really opens up the possibilities for an immersive viewing experience.

Watch the new IMAX featurette for Crimson Peak below:

Here’s the official synopsis for Crimson Peak:

Legendary Pictures’ CRIMSON PEAK, a co-production with Universal Pictures, is a haunting gothic horror story directed by the master of dark fairy tales, Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy series, Pacific Rim), written by del Toro and Matthew Robbins and starring Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Hunnam.  In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider.  Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers.  Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, del Toro and Callum Greene produce, and Jillian Share executive produces.
