If you, like me, spent the weekend squirming while watching Guillermo del Toro’s new anthology horror series, Cabinet of Curiosities, on Netflix, you might also have noticed that all the episodes but one start with a hat tip toward the author of the short story that inspired it. El libro trata de tener un poco de orden, presentándonos primero la casa y luego siguiendo los cuadernos de película en película, pero como Del Toro mezcla todo, el orden es casi imposible. Me gustaron los comentarios de gente que ha trabajado con el director, como Pearlman, Mignola e incluso Tom Cruise.Forward by James Cameron: "Guillermo del Toro's notebooks have been compared to the codices of da Vinci for good reason: Both are representations of the creative process of a genius unique in his time and perhaps in all time. You may remember that I reviewed Guillermo’s art book to his film Pacific Rim back in June 2013, which showed some of these drawings. Yet, Guillermo del Toro did it in his film, and he was completely unapologetic if it was not done for sensationalism and if it strengthened the story.

Contains a foreword by James Cameron, an afterword by Tom Cruise, and contributions from other luminaries, including Neil Gaiman and John Landis, among others. There’s even a room (the Rain Room) with a window that can give the impression of it raining at night 24 hours a day, no doubt to inspire those ideas.Guillermo Del Toro's 'Cabinet of Curiosities': Release Date, Cast, Plot, and Everything You Need to Know". Here these records of his creative process form the basis for a stunning illustrated book and insightful examination of the themes that haunt, electrify, and enrich his work. Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 72 out of 100 based on 21 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". This book will be a visual treasure trove for del Toro fans, as readers get a look at reproductions of his actual journal pages, filled with his handwriting, illustrations, notes in Spanish and English, as well as new annotations that add context and clarity. I was pleased to see that he recognized me, yet far more pleased when he smiled, shook my hand and said, “You get it.

The second half of the book contains faithful reproductions of del Toro’s most elaborate illustrated notebooks. Guillermo del Toro's my favorite director mainly due to the 'Hellboy' films, 'Pan's Labyrinth', the 42 steps beyond incredible 'Pacific Rim' and his total persistence in not letting his dream of filming "At the Mountains of Madness" die. His attempts have been thwarted by terrifying rats, who rapidly swarm and remove any valuables held by recently buried corpses.

As a grown man in 1933, he's a member of the Spiritualist Society who seeks to cross into the other side in hopes of saving Epperley. Nancy witnesses Claudette throw herself off a balcony, realizing that her angry screams were in anguish over drowning her son.
