YMMV / Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, S01 E03 "The Autopsy"

Go To

  • Complete Monster: The "Traveler", the alien parasite contained within the body of Eddie Sykes, is a smug sadist that revels in its cruelty. Arriving on earth as a larva, the parasite infested the body of Sykes and kept him alive and conscious to enjoy his fear as it fed on his blood. Abducting and murdering numerous people, the alien soon risked discovery and triggered an explosion in a mine that killed 9 people. Preserving two victims to slowly drain them of blood, the alien prepared to be "rescued" and brought to the morgue. Upon being autopsied by mortician Carl Winters, the alien subdues him and autopsies itself, with Eddie Sykes feeling every bit of pain. Plotting to take Carl's body, the Traveler coldly vows to force Carl to experience every bit of agony as Eddie did, starting with devouring his close friend, Sheriff Nathan Craven.
  • Squick:
    • The autopsies are shown in great detail.
    • The alien describes how he will experience multiple intense orgasms in Carl's body after eating his friend. (Keep in mind, Carl is played by 82-year-old F. Murray Abraham.)
