If you’ve already caught up on all eight episodes of “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities,” there’s one hidden feature you might’ve missed. Yes, the Netflix horror anthology series has one more trick up its sleeves just in time for Halloween.
Director Vincenzo Natali (Splice, Cube) took to Twitter this week to share that there’s a Silver Screen Horror Edition of his episode “Graveyard Rats” available to stream on Netflix now.
Natali revealed that the monochrome Silver Screen Horror Edition is the way he intended his episode to be watched, highlighting the cinematography by Colin Hoult.
Viewers can find this unique edition for the episode under the series’ “Trailers & More” section.
“Graveyard Rats,” written and directed by Natali based on a short story by Henry Kuttner, premiered on October 25. It stars David Hewlitt as “Masson, a clever but weasley cemetery caretaker who moonlights as a grave robber. To pay off his mounting debts, he digs up the grave of a wealthy shipping merchant and becomes locked in a battle with the titular rodents.”

“Cabinet of Curiosities” is created and executive produced by Guillermo del Toro; executive produced by Academy Award winner J. Miles Dale (The Shape of Water; Sex/Life), who also serves as co-showrunner; and executive produced by Gary Ungar. Regina Corrado serves as co-executive producer. Del Toro also serves as host.
The series offers a vintage scary story collection where episodes range “From macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque or classically creepy, the eight sinister tales — including two original works by del Toro — will be brought to life by a team of writers and directors personally chosen by the Shape of Water filmmaker.”
“With Cabinet of Curiosities, we set out to showcase the realities existing outside of our normal world: the anomalies and curiosities. We hand-picked and curated a group of stories and storytellers to deliver these tales, whether they come from outer space, supernatural lore, or simply within our minds,” said Guillermo del Toro previously. “Just in time for Halloween, each of these eight tales is a fantastical peek inside the cabinet of delights existing underneath the reality we live in.”
All eight episodes, plus the alternate Silver Screen Horror Edition of “Graveyard Rats,” are available to stream on Netflix now.
