Clearly, Netflix is on our side when you check out the following trailer for this year's Netflix & Chills streaming season. And as if getting looks at The Midnight Club, The Watcher, Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, The School for Good and Evil, Wendell and Wild, 1899, and Wednesday (not to mention a vast library of horror films and series) wasn't good enough, how about a preview narrated by none other than the great Mark Hamill? And yes, it sounds as great as you think it would…

So give Hamill a chance to walk you through the thrills & chills… the tricks & treats… awaiting you this Netflix & Chills season (which, as you're about to see, extends well beyond October):

A Look at Netflix's Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities

"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. "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." Now here's a look at the official trailer for Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, followed by an overview of the series and a breakdown of the season's eight episodes:

In CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, acclaimed Academy Award-winning filmmaker and creator, executive producer and co-showrunner Guillermo del Toro has curated a collection of unprecedented and genre-defining stories meant to challenge our traditional notions of horror.

Murray Abraham (Mythic Quest; Homeland; Amadeus), Glynn Turman (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom; Fargo; The Wire), and Luke Roberts (Ransom; Black Sails) will appear in an episode written by David S.

Boston (Brand New Cherry Flavor) (based on a short story by comic book author Emily Carroll) and directed by Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night; Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon; The Bad Batch).
