The trailer starts off with the host del Toro asking us to picture our minds as a cabinet, where we lock up our darkest thoughts and deepest fears. What would happen if you opened that cabinet for the world to see? Well, that’s exactly what we will be finding out in this nightmare special as our deepest fears might just come alive.

The series is set to be released on October 25th, 2022, on Netflix.
