Guillermo del Toro, the Master of our Nightmares!

December 21, 2021 by Emily Costello

Monsters go bump in the night…

None keep us up more than the ones that Academy Award® winner, Guillermo del Toro has created. With NIGHTMARE ALLEY, now showing at the PFS Bourse Theater, we wanted to look back at GDT’s most blood-curdling monsters. From the Angel of Death to Judas Breed, below is our list of the GDT monsters that give us nightmares!

See GDT’s newest nightmarish creation in NIGHTMARE ALLEY, now showing at the PFS Bourse Theater!

When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a traveling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society. With the virtuous Molly (Rooney Mara) loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who might be his most formidable opponent yet.
