Video: Tour The 'Crimson Peak' Gothic Gallery With Guillermo Del Toro [Comic Con 2014]
Guillermo del Toro brought his own private haunted mansion to San Diego Comic-Con. One half of the Legendary Pictures booth is a snow covered gate with a huge brass family crest. The name above it? Crimson Peak. Inside in a very small, but detail filled, frightening experience designed by the man himself. Big family portraits are on the walls, the ceilings are cracked and in them you can see birds flying in the night. Two dresses from the film, each expertly detailed, bookend a shelf filled with trinkets that tell the story of the film, which opens October 16, 2015.
Below, see Crimson Peak photos from inside the exhibit and watch a video of our private tour, narrated by the man himself, Guillermo del Toro.
Here are some photos provided by Legendary from the booth.

And here's a video from inside. Apologies for some of the fast whip pans, dark lighting and terrible sound. I shot this all in one take while trying to concentrate on what's going on. Plus, I wanted to get it up fast so you could see it as soon as possible.
Here's the official description both of the booth, and a contest for Comic-Con fans.
