After helming the fantasy/sci-fi _Hellboy_ movies and _Pacific Rim_, the _Pan’s Labyrinth_ director is returning to his horror roots with _Crimson Peak_. The film, starring Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska and Charlie Hunnam, focuses on a Victorian-era woman who falls for a stranger and moves into his house where he and his sister reside. But she quickly begins to regret her decision as she discovers that the home is haunted. The movie hits theaters on Oct. 16. ### See The Real-Life People Who Inspired Game of Thrones Characters  From left: Cersei and Margaret of Anjou HBO; Getty Images  From Left: Khaleesi and Queen Elizabeth I.
