Netflix has unveiled the first creepy teaser trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, an upcoming horror anthology featuring stories by some of the best horror directors in the world.

The teaser conjures some gruesome imagery del Toro will display in his cabinet of curiosities. We can see a dead body in a morgue, another own being eaten by worms in the dirt, and a creepy house that seems to be haunted by a dark force. There will be monsters, cursed necklaces, and menacing flocks of birds in eight independent stories directed by some of the most potent voices of horror.

As the new trailer reveals, each of the eight stories of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosity will be directed by Panos Cosmatos (Mandy), David Prior (The Empty Man), Vincenzo Natali (Splice), Jennifer Kent (The Babadook), Keith Thomas (The Vigil), Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Miss Bala), and Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night). It’s worth noticing there are only seven directors listed for eight horror stories, which means either one of the directors will helm two stories, or del Toro himself will take care of one episode — fingers crossed.
