Cabinet Of Curiosities Trailer Release

Netflix has already released the trailer for the series and fans are loving it! Viewers who enjoy short horror shows – this one’s perfect for them. The trailer shows how all 8 episodes of the show are going to look.

It shows how people who love history and art go on collecting things with historical importance and keep them, sometimes restoring them. 

Such a room or say “Cabinet” holding so many secrets from history is of supreme significance. Do you remember the Warrens, who also kept a locked room containing all the dark and possessed objects?

They have collected all such dark items to keep them away from everyone. So even if they are possessed once again, it doesn’t go on hurting people anymore. But what to say about it? Just a possibility though, what if someone finds the key to this room and gets access to it? What then?
