The storyline of the upcoming series revolves around different horror and supernatural themes, based on the short story written by Guillermo Del Toro. There will be a total of eight episodes filled with a unique spooky element, along with several guaranteed jumpscares. The critically acclaimed director will also serve as the presenter of the series and relay the vision for each episode.
The plot of each episode will vary according to the subject, with a common goal of challenging the classical horror genre. For instance, the episodes are about a former soldier discovering an estranged storage unit, a small-town investigator exploring some gruesome murders, a bank teller’s experiments with continents, an eerie painter who meets a creative student, a twin who embarks on a mission to find the spirit of his dead sister, a mansion with dark secrets, and a couple who interacts with a ghostly presence.
