Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Cabinet of Curiosities arrived on Netflix<\/a> in October 2022 as an eight-episode anthology<\/strong>, and it still stands as one of TV\u2019s sharpest versions of Lovecraft-style cosmic horror<\/a>. Del Toro created it and executive produced it, and the rollout had its own little bit of ceremony: a four-night event, with two episodes dropping each day. The show doesn\u2019t lean on jump scares much. It goes after something heavier, building dread through occult mystery, moral rot, monsters, gothic imagery, and those huge unknowable forces that make people feel small.<\/p>\n

Two episodes, \u201cPickman\u2019s Model\u201d and \u201cThe Dreams in the Witch House,\u201d pull straight from H. P. Lovecraft. Others, especially \u201cThe Viewing\u201d and \u201cLot 36,\u201d work in the same territory without being direct adaptations, drawing on forbidden knowledge, cult iconography, tentacled horror, and the mental toll of running into something the mind can\u2019t really process. The series also sidesteps some of Lovecraft\u2019s hardest material to adapt, including his ambiguity, racism, and xenophobia, using modern casting<\/strong> and shifts in emphasis instead of taking them on as directly as Lovecraft Country did.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re after well-reviewed horror with a strong director\u2019s stamp on it, Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Cabinet of Curiosities is an easy one to pick up. The practical effects help, the production design won an Emmy<\/strong>, and the show\u2019s reputation kept growing in the post-The Walking Dead horror-TV space. Even so, Netflix still hadn\u2019t confirmed a second season by late 2023, despite del Toro saying he wanted to make more.<\/p>\n\n
