"Along with several simultaneously gorgeous and horrific images, we got a "first look" teaser in August, featuring del Toro talking about the project, especially its striking visual effects. "With Cabinet of Curiosities, what I'm trying to say is, 'Look, the world is beautiful and horrible at exactly the same time,'" he said. That's certainly the vibe we're getting from the full trailer.

"Picture your mind as a cabinet where you lock up your darkest thoughts and deepest fears," del Toro says in the opening voiceover. "What would happen if you opened that cabinet for the world to see? We are about to find out." What follows is a cornucopia of scenes from each of the eight stories, all of which have their own distinctive look that nonetheless fits the overall "beautiful and horrible" aesthetic del Toro is aiming for.

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities will be released on Netflix across a four-day event. Two episodes will be released on October 25, with two more episodes coming out each day through October 28.
