Panos Cosmatos, Jennifer Kent and Vincenzo Natali write and direct single episodes of the series, which was retitled from Guillermo del Toro Presents 10 After Midnight.

Netflix’s new live-action horror stories are meant to challenge our traditional notions about horror. The eight tales, which include two original works by del Toro, are written and directed by people who he chose himself. These stories explore macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque, and classically creepy themes.
