It’s a Halloween miracle in August! Netflix unveiled the first look at Guillermo del Toro’s horror anthology series. Called Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, each of the eight episodes tells a different spooky story with a different cast and a different director.

In this first look, del Toro talks about how excited he is for this project, particularly the practical effects that go into creating the monsters and horror. We don’t see much of the plot details of episodes in the teaser, but we do get the titles and the pretty dang exciting director reveals.
