- Pan's Labyrinth (2006) took shape in the imagination of Guillermo del Toro as long ago as 1993, when he began to sketch ideas and images in the notebooks he always carries.
- The Mexican director responded strongly to the horror lurking under the surface of classic fairy tales and had no interest in making a children's film, but instead a film that looked horror straight in the eye.
- He also rejected all the hackneyed ideas for the creatures of movie fantasy and created a faun, a frog and a horrible Pale Man whose skin hangs in folds from his unwholesome body.
