Guillermo Del Toro curates an anthology of 8 different horror tales from top-tier talent and… Why are you not watching this already? Sure, not all episodes will be to everyone’s particular tastes, and El Toro's preference for Lovecraft and cosmic horror is a strong focus (two episodes are direct if poor adaptations of Lovecraft stories). Some episodes are weaker than others, but the sheer level of talent in front and behind the camera is without question. What’s particularly good is how each episode has its own distinctive flair and aesthetic, and each director’s stamp infuses the proceedings without interference or compromise. El Toro himself introduces each tale and director, and he shares his enthusiasm and love of the genre directly with the viewers. Dropping the week before Halloween proved an exquisite treat for genre fans, and it is a sincere hope this is only the first of what should be many seasons to come. Why are you not already watching?
