"Graveyard Rats" is an episode of the Netflix original television show Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. It is an adaptation of Henry Kuttner's 1936 short story "The Graveyard Rats".
Overview[]
Whilst remaining largely faithful to the original, the episode adds some backstory involving Masson, the sticky-fingered graveyard caretaker, having to steal from the corpses in his charge in order to repay a debt owed to a dangerous criminal, as well as a segment on the mortician who aids him in his activities. The end is also slightly altered, with Masson being devoured by the hungry rats rather than suffering a heart attack.
Adapted for the screen by Guillermo del Toro, directed by Vincenzo Natali, and starring David Hewlett in the role of Masson, "Graveyard Rats" was released on the Netflix streaming service on 25 October 2022.
