They present you with different delights. Some are savory, some are sweet. You get a surprise from each of the bites.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The list of directors includes Jennifer Kent, who directed 2014&#8217;s phenomenal <em>The Babadook<\/em>;  each episode, &#8220;The Murmuring,&#8221; is based on an original story by del Toro and features <em>Babadook<\/em> star, Essie Davis (aka Miss Fisher).  &#8220;Dreams in the Witch House,&#8221; based on an HP Lovecraft short story, is directed by Catherine Hardwicke (<em>Lords of Dogtown, Twilight<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Graveyard Rats&#8221; is directed by Vincenzo Natali (<em>In the Tall Grass, Splice<\/em>), while Guillermo Navarro (<em>narcos<\/em>) directed &#8220;Lot 36,&#8221; also based on an original story by del Toro.
