The inspiration behind the director's dark, yet unique style range from Medieval to contemporary culture. Del Toro's particular interest in horror, fantasy and the Victorian Era are all featured in the exhibition. The director's house in Los Angeles known as Bleak House contains over 500 movie pieces, which is a lot more than the exhibition showcases. Del Toro spoke to CBC news explaining that literature and film have been and will continue to be a place where artists can express themselves socially and politically in a creative way.
