Of Curiosities 1x5: Guillermo Del Toros Cabinet

The episode explores how art can act as a window—or a doorway—to darker dimensions.

A common Del Toro theme, looking at how the "sins" or visions of the past infect the future.

Set in the early 20th century, the story follows Will Thurber (Ben Barnes), a talented and straight-laced art student. His world is upended when he meets Richard Pickman (Crispin Glover), a social misfit whose paintings depict gruesome, otherworldly creatures.

Glover is perfectly cast. His unsettling energy and thick, archaic accent make Pickman feel like he truly stepped out of a 1920s nightmare.
