Stephen King praises Cabinet of Curiosities: when Guillermo del Toro’s new series launches on Netflix

In a short review, posted on Twitter, Stephen King praised Cabinet of Curiosities, the miniseries coming directly from Guillermo del Toro.

Consisting of eight unique stories created by del Toro and other horror filmmakers, Cabinet of Curiosities is an anthology series premiering today, October 25, on Netflix.

The series boasts an impressive cast that includes Tim Blake Nelson, Andrew Lincoln, Ben Barnes, Rupert Grint, Sofia Boutella, Charlyne Yi, Eric Andre and Crispin Glover.

Episodes will be released in pairs over four days, with the final two released on October 28. Each story that Del Toro has described as “meant to provoke pure horror” is introduced and narrated by the Oscar-winning director himself.

What Stephen King said about Cabinet of Curiosities

Renowned author Stephen King shared his thoughts on the new limited series by Guillermo del Torro on Twitter. Throughout his long career, King’s stories have received their own screen adaptations, including Stanley Kubrick’s classic, The Shining, and the recently released Netflix release, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone.

Del Toro’s newest work has apparently received King’s approval, with the author praising the miniseries with a short review published yesterday ahead of today’s release. In a tweet, the author “strongly” recommends you watch Del Toro’s new series and describes it as “Scary, sinister and visually interesting”.

Of course, the words of the horror master are welcome, but we have to admit that Guillermo del Toro didn’t necessarily need approval, since his name is often associated with success when it comes to horror films and series. However, the writer’s positive review confirms what I already suspected.

I strongly advise you to open Guillermo del Toro’s CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, starting tomorrow on Netflix. Scary, sinister, and beautiful to look at.
