I just hope that this show isn't canceled like damn near every good show that isn't allowed to cultivate an audience. I love it so far!!!
If shows are canceled, their not that good to beging with. Enjoying a bad show however, isnt a bad thing. Enjoye every bad show you can, cause they will most lickely get cenceled.
@jamesdm4 good shows get cancelled too. ie Firefly
@@JamesDM4 Yeah Raised by Wolves had a large following audience and HBO Max cancelled it. See also has a large following audience but season 3 is the final. Its frustrating Im just glad From got approved for season 2.
@@JamesDM4 No. Just No. Many good shows with huge fanbases are cancelled. Especially in anime.
Just like the y the last man I was devastated 😭
The creatures are indeed interesting. They are not some mindless killing creatures either. As mentioned in one of the later episodes in season 1, before the discovery of the Talismans that prevent entry into a home, these creatures would "Howl" and pretty much had free roam of the small town at night. After the town had Talismans for every home, the creatures no longer "Howl" and had free roam. The creatures actually adapted tactics. The creatures now spoke and had to influence the people inside to let them in(I thought this was actually a clever small detail).
But actually it's told in one of the episodes
I love that scene where the lady creature seduces the colonly house boy and when he lets her in, she take a second or two to kiss him before killing him, and then staring at herself in the mirror. It shows that these creatures still keep some of their humanity with them.
@@blakops000007 Likely they are sidhe - a mythical combination of slúag (dangerous to mortals, though not always so) and ben síde (the "howling" calls back to the "keening" ).
@@blakops000007 I don't think humanity is the right word. But psychological sadism. The taste of having deceived. She already foresaw his death. Anyway I liked that scene a lot too because she didn't attack right away. It sounded convincing. She closed the window and was “nice” for a few minutes. Pure psychological torture.
@@blakops000007 Horny young men are the weakest link in any survival chain. Watching that scene, I was like, "Dude... I get she's hot and you're desperately lonely, but she's absolutely going to rip your face off if you let her in." But no... her lets her in and 14 people die. Control your hormones, kids.
So they can only come in if invited in, well let’s see how they do against a house in a house in a house in a house…I don’t even know if that would work, but I like ridiculous ideas, still creepy looking monsters tho.
hopefully that works cause if not apartment buildings are a bad idea to live in.
That would probably work, lol
@@damiengreen3186 I would honestly do it just to troll them
@@damiengreen3186 omg oh yeah!!!!!! I think it's a domicile. Lol
Nope as long their opening in building they don't need permission to enter they can actually open doors I believe just not locked ones etc
I find it interesting that the clothes worn by these monsters seem to be mostly old-fashioned, and at least a few of them show major wear and tear, as though they were injured or are wearing castoffs from their victims.
I think they are the people from the last cycle that ended in 1978. Victor was the start of this cycle in 1978, so all the creatures have to be from before then. I think all the years carved in the door frame are the dates of the new cycles.
They are shapeshifters, their human forms are of already deceased people that have something to do with the town’s history - so they are basically acting like ghosts in their human forms, but its more a Predator-type cloaking in order to trick people into inviting them in through the wards
What about that little girl grandma? They can take appearances of loved ones i think
@@DaArtist_1EARTHANGEL no
Good point!
I'll be disappointed if they are aliens. That trope has been done to death. I really want them to be supernatural creatures. And I think evil Celtic fairies would fit beautifully.
Alien just means from somewhere else. Interdimensional fae would qualify as alien. As would demons. Even God could be considered alien (from a certain point of view)
@@erikhermansen3431 Allow me to clarify. I don't want them to be technological science fiction aliens.
@@starbrand3726 they are obviously not technological science-fiction aliens to be exact. They look like supernatural beings that originated from earth if the show tells us they're aliens, then it would be garbage.
Yeah Fairies or Banshees 👍. Idc which but both are best fit too me going by this video's details.
Celts are ancient Israelites. Negroes. So are the Druids,and ancient Scott's and Irish.
I think they’re definitely Fae. There’s mention in ep 8 that they screeched before the talismans were discovered, which hints at banshees. The Fae also lured the lost into other dimensions and delighted in torture. I believe some forms also had to be invited in or left gifts to appease. Plus, there are the faraway trees, nature as portals. These are some great monsters.
and surprisingly "Fae" in scottish dialect means "From", so there's a good chance you hit the nail
🤯
But they don’t need to be invited to enter. they break into any house that doesn’t have a talisman or have a weak door or something like that.
They can only get in a house with a talisman if invited.
So much of this show seems like an updated, TV version of elements from old Fairytales - literally! Tales of the Fae. Nasty buggers. And they will steal yr kid and turn them into a Fae. There was a trapped, odd looking kid in a makeshift cage in S2E1.
from a budget perspective the "creature" design is spectacular
Lost mixed with 30 Days of Night. Cool show. The Priest was a good character.
He was my favourite, and they killed him😭😭😭
@@miromoro3029 But his hour did have more than 22 mins🤣
Yeah 30 days of night was awesome horror
And black mass...
The main actor "boyd" in a interview when asked what he cant wait to find out in season 2, said " i want to know why the people change into the woods creatures". So whatever they are , the creatures are former people who were trapped in the town. My guess is by the end of the second season a group of our towspeople will finally "escape" only to find they now are going to turn into what they feared the most.
I think they finish the show as usual: everybody in the town are dead but they don't know it and the town is purgatory
@@borsuk96 that will be some hot garbage ending 😂
So what if Boyd becomes a creature
@@borsuk96 Was definitely a possibility but seems too easy like it was just all a dream type trope. I was considering that the guy with the lunchbox is in fact just in a mental institution from the trauma of the massacre he experienced and this is all going on in his head but that is too simple as well.
@@borsuk96 what would be the point in them getting killed then? I don't think they're already dead
This show had serious wayward pines vibes, that show was amazing and on a different level back in the day
That's exactly what I was thinking. The creatures even look alike. Except these creatures have professor X mind powers to trick you into seeing a friendly face as a hunting mechanism to numb your mind so you don't fear and scream while they eat you.
factssss
Man I wish that show was still going me and mf would binge watch it
Dude i absolutely love you! thank you for reminding me of wayward pines i have been trying to remember the name of the show for so damn long because i used to watch it as a kid and here it's name is translated to something else. thank you you absolute legend!
Definitely reminded me of Wayward Pines….I hate that show ended
Demon Fae was one of my first guesses. Vampires in some genres DO use glamours (a form of spell) to make themselves look more appealing to humans. Those glamours can be dispelled at a whim, or seen through if perceptive enough. Fae are also known to be just that good at tricking humans into false senses of security, and that they leave the corpses behind in such a state after devouring their fill, is only for show. Just an awesome series so far. Victor is great as the misunderstood permanent child, that's been there the longest because he followed the rules. The rest, maybe it's a mirror realm, you're brought in by the Fae from a random highway, for whatever reason. Drama or Heightened emotions seem to be one of their triggers, and once you're inside, there's no escape. You're in the realm of the Fae and they only have one real rule that can protect you. Wonderful idea, thanks for your sharing and breakdowns of everything. Quite the ride.
what rule is that?
Same here I would like to know what rule you are referring to
Vampire come from a greek legend and in their stories the vampire had to be invited in the house of his victime and used glamour spell to do so.
@@nightbane2889talisman
What if the ravens are a warning? They're a sign to turn back, to hide. Or maybe a symbiotic relationship, similar to how ravens follow wolves knowing a meal is soon on hand.
Once they saw the tree it's too late anyway.
That would make no sense because everyone turned back around… so a pretty useless warning because by the time you see the tree it’s too late. All we know about that tree is no one has ever driven through it.
@@ossiaigbedo7223 well I mean when the rv got there they turned back but when boyed and his family got there they where on the opposite side of the tree so I feel like if they did they would just end up at the town anyways
Could be like how Odin would use them, and the crows are the monsters' eyes while they're underground still.
What if you moved past the tree? Sure you might have to leave your car behind, but if you just walked over the tree, would you avoid being trapped?
I'm pretty sure that these are the Aes Sihde, as most Vampire folklore actually hails from the stories of the Faefolk/Sluagh. It makes perfect sense to me honestly.
ik this comment is from like 5 months ago but could you explain why

The idea of something taking or devouring your soul is absolutely terrifying
Your soul is immortal and untarnishable and perfect.
@@sillymesilly and goes good with a splash of ketchup!
They will have to get in line I scammed a lot of demons waiting for a piece of mine so they gonna have to take it up with them
Only if you believe a soul exists.
Will believe it. Demons want nothing more than to devour your soul. It is real
In other folklore, crows can be guides for the souls of the departed. Maybe these creatures are souls that were led astray by crows? Also: we've seen the creatures shrug off a 9mm to the chest, but I want to see what a .308 or 12 gauge to the dome will do to them... Hydroshock alone would probably turn everything above the eyes to mist. Also, the Celtic druids placed a lot of emphasis on border concepts (times between times like twilight and places between places like beaches) and the void under the basement could be something like that.
agreed I as well want to see them take a 50 cal to the scalp, problem with that is nobody ever seems to arrive in this hellscape prepared with high caliber rounds.. idk though because whatever dragged the tent at the end of ep 9 must be larger than anything we seen so far..
Some fye can only be hurt bye castiron so lead and steel will do nothing to them.

Just finished the season, it’s an exciting concept, I’m truly hooked on it! They have a really great story line, let’s just hope they do the right thing and not rush the reveals and keep the good episodes cranking out. Also a bonus it’s filmed one province over in Nova Scotia, Fellow Newfoundlander “Shaun Majumder” playing The local priest. It’s pretty original and refreshing so far, looking forward to the next season.
The atmosphere and tone of this narration is awesome!
Fae lore is full of people going "away with the fairies"; maybe these people have been taken to something like a borderland between the land of the Fae and the mortal realms. Shape shifting, toying with prey, following obscure rules seem to point to something Fairy. They're invulnerable because the humans aren't using the right weapons on them: cold iron and blessed/sacred objects should work as weapons.
If they are based on the sluagh The morrigan/Phantom Queen could be represented by the crows/ravens she is associated with death and part of the Tuatha de danann
Sluagh
Alteori you're on to something I Remember listening to a audio recording of a guy who was dead and revived. His description of Hell was interesting to say the least. He and other people were waking down a path and the "demons" would shape shift into people to lure travelers off the path to feed on /torture them. Hay I love the content keep up the great work!!!
I personally think the Monsters are the Spider(s) that Ethan had a dream about in the second episode, and everyone is trapped in their web. Spiders enjoy the hunt, usually hunt at night and sleep during the day, will sometimes mimic their prey in order to get close and devour them, they eat most of their victims and barely leave anything behind, like the Priest pointed out, and Ethan's vision/dream sort of hints that they are spiders. Ethan says, "I saw it. The Lake of Tears. It was a drawing on the wall. There were so many drawings on the wall. Like the ones I used to draw with crayons? And you would put it on the fridge? And we were all through the drawings; you, and me, and Mom, and Julie. But somebody screamed because the Spider came down from the ceiling." And then later in that episode, the medic has a nightmare where a Monster breaks through the ceiling to attack Ethan, and she wakes up when dream-Ethan screams. I think that's a really strong hint that the Monsters are Giant mimic Spiders.
I also do believe this route is very plausible. It was one of my first theories. There’s also a lot of other movies & series in which the monsters are actually a representation of a single giant creature/hivemind. - Under The Dome - Stranger Things - The Thing - …
Well... These monsters can be absolutely anything. They might as well have spider characteristics. I don't think the writers took any specific creatures from mythology. Rather, they combined various elements that they took from other works. For example, talismans remind me very much of the rune system that appeared in Peter V. Brett's "Demon Cycle".
My friend that’s a very sound logical argument there, you might be right in some form there - but they seem hyperintelligent & conscious, leading me to believe its a hive mind that has 1 master or leader, kinda like The Borg Queen or Vecna
they are not spiders, I don't know what they are, perhaps demons. what I'm most surprised about is how cowardly the humans inside are, that they haven't tried to set a trap to capture one of these things overnight. or haven't brainstormed how can we turn this around and start hunting them, after all human intelligence is what separates us. I hope they bring in some badass characters in season 2, perhaps spec ops guys, that would be fun. they have shown the monsters to move very slowly while in human form. I know that if I was in there, I wouldn't just be living my life during day and hiding during night, I can tell you that much.
Plus the spider webs in the woods support that
These creatures are pretty creepy and interesting.

It might be the sanctuarry, the town is just an entrance. There were at least 3 types of strange creatures shown: the monsters , crows and spiders, who attacked Boid, also some huge giant or something who grabbed the tent in the forest. Also the voices in madgirl head might be some other creatutes or lost souls. All the people in town are not bad, there is not a single bad person among them, which is strange, they even kinda built communism without rivalry and conflicts. So I guess if all the people are actually good despite mental ill, there must be bad souls as well, these creatures, and both of them are just at the sanctuary edge🤔
Wow, great video! I think you really nailed it with the connection to Irish folklore! The writers must have at least drew inspiration from it when creating these creatures. I hope season 2 gives some interesting answers to the many mysteries left off by the finale!
They feel like Aswangs. They're a creature from Filipino Lore. They can polymorph from human appearing creatures into their true forms during the night time. They stalk their prey in the daytime and make their attacks at night. They feast upon blood, organs, and life force. And they're not known for being friendly eaters.
aswangs eat people
Hello Alteori. The Creatures of FROM. Never let a vampire into you're home unless you invite it. Lots of theories of what are these monsters. I enjoy these videos, learn some new things. Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.
Have to agree, the entire show is packed with celtic and norse mytholgy and hints, but the sluagh fits well as does faery in general - faerie being known for their glamour. I wonder if the town entrance is a crossroads, anyway, those entering faity monds are meant to experience time differently.... other hints from norse mythology, specifically the faraway tree (enid blyton) or yggdrasil point to one of the lower of the norse 9 worlds maybe niffleheim, or hell , where the godess hella is half beutiful and hald death (just time divided not space divided here). ravens match to eithr the morrigan (celtic) or odin (norse), and im concinced the boy in white may be the god baldur (or possibly loki) -- know its mixed mythologies, but they do sort of relate
Don't forget about Slavic mythology cuz it has a similar appearance to some of Slavic mythology creatures.
I am so happy to read someone else mention Enid Blyton's 'The Magic Faraway Tree'. As a small child my Dad picked up a box of perfectly preserved 1st edition's of the book & I loved the concept so much I remember building little cardboard houses in the tree. The aspect of it & connection to Norse mythology blew me away. Thank you for sharing that cause I certainly never made the connection! (I'm Australian with Danish heratige so bit humbling!)
I've read this theory on Fromland's channel and I like it a lot. But Jinn might also fit the bill here: - They are capable of assuming human or animal (dogs, ravens) form. - They are said to dwell in all conceivable inanimate objects - stones, trees (!), ruins - underneath the earth. - They possess the bodily needs of human beings (maybe the one who was permitted to enter Colony House truly felt a desire for a romantic relationship; also she looked in the mirror and seemed almost regretful of what she'd done) but are free from all physical restraints (except for the talimans). - They delight in punishing humans for any harm done them, intentionally or unintentionally (The bottles Boyd and Sara found hanging from the trees made me think of Jinn in the first place; their captivity/slavery might have lasted hundreds if not thousands of years so they're in the business of exacting revenge now.). - Those human beings knowing the proper magical procedure can exploit the Jinn to their advantage (once again pointing to the talismans and possibly to another town that may have somehow weaponized them as guard dogs to keep anyone from encroaching on their territory).
Well you put a lot of thought into this both of this both theories have a lot of evidence
Yes but jinn don't fear the sun. They are also held within our world have to be unleashed, rather than being free and being held back. Also jinn wish to be left alone in general, some lore says they feed on us like shadow people, or they are gods bound by humans , like alladin or the witcher. But in from they don't consume only torture.
THISSSS !
@@jasonh908 Why couldn't they have been corrupted by either solitude or captivity and/or a result of the writers putting a new spin on them featurewise?
Yeah but this show doesn’t fit Jinn lore
Video game logic: "Well, there's a log in the way... guess we're stuck here..."
they start talking about multiple types of monsters in the show and with all those webs at the end of season 1 i think there is easily 2 types of monsters to start off with 1. shapeshifters of some kinda , i dont think they'll be based off any single myths 2. the spiders that seem to live deeper in the woods which left behind all the webs 3. there is also something unknown that are said to be worse than both the shape shifters and spiders in which i believe to be demons of some kind.
Only just found this series last week thanks to some hooked family members...Gets the good juices flowing. I would try a talisman tattoo or build a inverted style box/room to keep them in once invited and observe 😅
I truly appreciate the time and research you put into your commentary.
They remind me of the vampire's from 30 days and nights mixed with classic vampire lore.
The first time I watched this I can't sleep out of fear. It was really good.
Imagine if it turns out not only space loops, but time as well, and in the future, they will be the vampires that are attacking them now...
When I first saw the symbols on the talismans idk why but I instantly thought of the Tuatha De Danann.. Def been waiting on some reviews for this show though, it was a crazy 10 ep ride def recommend it as a sleeper series for anybody who has never heard of it 👍
The way you voice these types of videos is so eerie I love it. But I’d say your on to something with the sluah.
Hey @Alteori, My brother told me that the creaturs in FROM (Epix) have a similar appearance to some of the creatures in Slavic mythology.
There is a kids book called the faraway tree that with creatures live in but at the top there is a ladder that can take you to a different place every time the only way to get out is to wait for that place or world to come back to the exit like a rotating door in malls or stores. I think the creatures prefer dark because they like to farm them letting some live and coming back later. This land also traps goats and animals to them all to eat.
From is by far the coolest show ive ever seen. Its a mystery, horror, drama thriller. Its got it all! Season 2 episode 10 was great I cant wait for season 3
Wats the name of this show ?
@@jamarcusbihh8494 "From"
Woah! I haven’t watched this channel in a little bit. Your fox looks awesome! 😎👍
I find it interesting nobody has asked what would happen if people continued past the fallen tree. Everyone turned back and got trapped in the town. Granted none could go forwards in their vehicle and the crows were creepy but physically all they would have to do is climb over said tree and continue on foot. I don’t really know myself what would continue past it but surely it’s an interesting standpoint. It’s kinda just brushed off in the show as well as the tree we all saw.
This series is really excellent and now I want to binge it again. The whole thing reminds me of the twisted universes of primo Stephen King. The surrealism of the characters current reality and the absolute horror that has become everyday life-- it's really pretty cool in a way
Really enjoying this show, a lot of twists and turns. I'm surprised they haven't tried to capture one of the creatures. Anyway the boy isn't bothered by daylight.
He is probably some other kind of creature. Maybe the complete opposite - the good fairy. Or perhaps he is one of them, but was converted as a kid and rejecting his new violent nature. That actually explains why he is helping people and why they are no monsters-kids
i was wondering the same , though it seems very hard to capture one because those things can transform so quick and rip u up. would take a very complex and careful approach, and a strong material to keep them inside. they tore apart the box when the dad was in there
They probably have superhuman strength. Remember one of monsters were shot by 9mm? They must be tough
New subscriber! as a folklorist, I love how you mentioned the sluagh!
I love your interpretation, it’s so compelling it might as well be true
The talismans looked to be Norse ruins so they are probably a creature from Norse mythology.
Ah it's been a while since one of these videos personally they are my favourite type
I still love your channel. Great stuff as always.
Interesting I'd never heard of this part of Irish lower before I'd heard people comparing from 2 some Viking mythology with Odin and whatnot but this is the first I've heard of this idea
I really wish more ppl watched this show, it's like the new Lost, but creepy AF
Hey, is Lost very interesting to watch, like this series, From? Or nah?
@@khaibungaasro the first few seasons of Lost were some of the best on TV, the last season and ending was pretty bad. Overall I highly recommend it.
These monster reminds me of supernatural leviathans. Stuck in purgatory. And very powerful.
For some reason these things come off similar to wendigos but with different appearances. (Note haven't seen the show yet but about to watch it, it's very interesting) They feed on humans until there's nothing left as if starving, the disguise themselves in human form similar to how some myths says the wendigo can possess humans, the talisman comes off similar to something native America, they are sadistic enjoying tormenting their prey even before eating them, their true form comes off as a starving creature of sorts and theory is they were trapped there by a native America tribe and same with the humans as a possible counter measure incase they tried to use a human to escape their prison.
Great video Alteori, thank you. I love the show, but I just hope it's not going to be another Lost where for every question answered, 10 go unanswered. It does seem to be some kind of weird pocket dimension are you mentioned in your video, like the island in Lost, it's like they're stuck in a snowglobe. It's like the issue with the electricity and devices working when not plugged in, it's almost like they're in some kind of simulation. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the monsters were people who have died in this universe and come back at night as the monsters. But again, like Lost, a LOT of mysteries, clues and other bits, which I hope we get answers too!
It'd be really cool to see in the next season if they capture a monster, maybe if they steel the boy for some reason but there won't be any corpse left, so they have no choice,but to capture one of the monster to get the answers. They also might try Bible or crosses because for some reasons there is none in the town, so they might be hurt by that for that reason. I was a bit dissapointed that first season was more focused on the place then on the monsters. I mean spider must know a lot about the spiderweb
Morbius: Finally, worthy opponents. It's Morbin time
its been a while I watch your video but still your contents are awesome and narration perfect
I really like your character! Looks so cute! ^^
These creatures can be "WENDIGOS" because in some North American indigenous legends they say that these creatures hide in caves and feed on human flesh and can even disguise themselves and pass themselves off as a human by imitating their voice, in addition they are creatures in turn and they move away when they see special talismans (in the legend the figures are composed of various images of the sun and men). Tampons or headphones help to protect the victim from the children he produces to attract him. They can manipulate electrical charges and winds around them (this explains the electricity they have when Thabita digs and finds the cave with the wires inside it, and the storm coming just in time for them to get a radio signal). It is said that the warning a wendigo gives before attacking and frightening prey is to let out a blood-curdling howl in the strong winds (similar to the one heard in the forest when it gets dark, no?) Creatures can be killed with fire and wounded with silver, plus they can connect with animals in the wild like crows. They like to terrify victims before killing them and have psychic powers that can mess with the minds of some weaker people. They are WENDIGOS because they consumed human flesh and were cursed, in addition to there being several of them there is the WENDIGO XAMAN the strongest of them, which in this case could be the one in red represented in the cave when Thabita fell. My theory is that everyone is being manipulated by the WENDIGOS because they are in their territory and cannot get out of there because the powers they make do not allow people to see the way out of that place, confusing them more and more, they become easy food for these creatures that lived on human flesh to live, besides the legend says that they have a period of hibernation in winter and makes them stock their victims in their cave so they don't starve and feed on them later. OBS: (strange a village in the middle of nowhere having all the supplies for a human to live right?! being the perfect place for these creatures to sow their victims).
Seems like a demonic lovechild between a strigoi and some damned fae. Also the true horror here is the sheer juxtaposition between videos like this and your other videos about the land before time. Your cute Kitsune avatar adds to the whole thing as well ahahah, it's like a kind of gap-moe but grim? I dunno, words are hard
you reminded me of the strain by saying strigoi lol
That description is pretty spot on, I hope they do make some type of connection, the talismans also give off a Celtic look
This show was actually pretty fire . I hope they continue it
I hated how nobody try to improvise on how to kill them. Like with fire?, or cuttin off their head or any part of the creature body just to see what happen?. Would they regenerates?. Or try to trap them inside a place, & put the talisman around the place & trap them to see if they cant get out. Or try to stick the talisman to one of the creatures, to see if it damage or burn them?. I would love to see how they react towards the sun. Also can u wear the talisman around ur neck, would it shield & protect u still?. I mean theres so many things. Also where the creature hide, in the exit side where they get out. can hang talisman to trap them there?.
I also wondered about wearing the talisman as a necklace but let's say you were in this situation and you're one of the folks trapped in this place, are you volunteering to try that theory out? 😂
@@TheCasanovaPugilist147 lol. okay hear me out on this. In the 2nd episode that new family rushed to the big mansion, that boy creature was super close to the girl talking to her. Then he got shot. So we clearly know bullets dont hurt them. lol. But let say u wear the necklace around ur neck. The creatures we know they walk slowly, & they dont run. So u would try to walk backwards facing them and see if they really aproach and get supper duper closer to u or they stay still and far away and dont move towards u. Do u get what im saying?. Also other ways to fight them off, lets trap them with a strong metal cage. Or electrocute them. Or try to find something that cuts like a chainsaw? or tractor cutting grass if they have one in that town. I mean im trying to come up with all type of ideas. They have to have at least some type of weakneses or something. Or trap one of them in a room, with talisman around the place to see if they cant get out?. And then release it when the sun shows up etc...
@@MrJohnunico They walk slowly and quitely. Like I said, would you willing to be a volunteer to test that necklace theory out cause I sure as shit wouldn't lol. Look at the priest. One of them snuck up behind him and slit his throat. Whose to say that doesn't happen while trying to test the necklace theory out youre walking backwards and suddenly one of these things comes out of nowhere and now youre blood is spewing like a soda fountain at Burger King? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MrJohnunico Trying to trap them seems difficult as well. I'm sure laying a metal trap cage wouldn't work as they would be intelligent enough to identify the trap as such. They aren't dumb monsters. It would have to be an elaborate complex trap that could result in errors that would lead to fatalities. Too risky. We aren't talking about Walkind Dead zombies here where you can just lead them into a building and shut the doors.

Or also they can try, tied up one of the creatures with chains if thats even possible and put the talisman necklace in them and see if that hurts them or do at least something. I mean they have to try something. Or stay there like morons and die?. Sorry but i refure to go out not doing anything. I dont want to loose hope. So many things to try we just need volunters lol.
After finishing Episode 2 of Season 2, there is obviously something much crazier going than these creatures. I honestly wonder how far they want to take this series, considering that these creatures are "only the tip of the iceberg". It's such a good show, I just hope it doesn't get stupid or ridiculous in later seasons like some shows do.
This is really good thanks for the info !!!!!
they also imitated the grandma so some ppls theorized that people who escape or other things make them turn into them.
Not only inspired by LOST but also the creators are the same people, The Russo Brothers. Also Harold Perrineau who's one of the main characters was also in LOST.
The Russos didn’t create Lost or this show. Their production company co-produces the show. John Griffin created From.
I watched this show within 1 weekend season 1 & 2 can’t wait for a season 3 it’s so good I’m so interested in this show
When you trying to run pass the town and you see the count down from battlefield and a voice says "RETURN TO THE BATTLEFIELD"
I seriously want to k know as well.... im super hyped the entire series had me swaying
TBH the first thing i thought about the monsters was that they were evil fairies and they were trapped in a fae dimension/realm. So i agree with this theory.
I was thinking they were devolved humans like in Wayward Pines. They even look the same and they eat humans but these creatures have professor X mind powers to trick your mind to see a friendly face so you don't feel fear and pain while they eat you. It's like part of their hunting skillset to use illusions.
Watching it again, the bald monster that killed the Priest is the same exact one that appeared in the trailer "dream" when the dad took down the totem. I feel she may be a mother to the monsters and she doesn't disguise herself like her "children". I think she's in the drawing on the wall that has the man and women (Ellis&Fatima?) and she's represented by the hand with claws on the left. As for the top right of the drawing, I think that is the monster in the clouds. The black cloud can be seen faintly when they show the crows when the family first got there and it came back as a storm ( 1 on the first night the family arrived and 2 when it knocked the tower down) and spoke to Jim through the radio. SB I have a theory, if the 2 cars didn't crash in the beginning, one of the cars had to be heading towards the exit because the town can't be on both ends of the highway at once which is why they had to crash. That would ULTIMATELY mean, in order for everyone to go home, someone has to stay behind...just a thought
I think all the creatures look similar in their natural form and before the priest was attacked the creature said “father” in a very soft female voice so I’d imagine it was in disguise for atleast a moment, but the idea that they have a mother or leader of the pack is very interesting
I'm two weeks late to this, but so glad I found your channel again. Immediately subbed to all notification's & this episode was engrossing, I'm going to hunt down this show. If I can, I'm in Australia. 👍🙂
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😁
“Evil Fae” is the best idea I’ve heard so far. There are even other aspects of the show, that don’t specifically deal with the creatures, that have similarities to Fae mythology. So I think this is pretty dead on.
Absolutely love the Sluagh theory!
Hey Alteori !!!! I wanted to comment on your most recent video to see if you'd read it, sorry it's 'off topic' but there are these Godzilla MMD animations here on KZhead that are amazing (and I haven't seen you talk about them but I've seen you talk about other G animations in the past so I wanted to ask) the creator is Japanese (I think, can't seem to copy and paste the name) but their icon is a kind of flower w/ petals, Godzilla MMD with earth/void Ghidorah. If you're interested :)
Great research, I agree with your approximation.
They could be a variant of BEKs, or black eyed kids. They (BEKs) are encountered in groups of no less than two. They make a huge deal of being "allowed" in, whether it be a home, or vehicle. People who have encountered them speak of feeling immense fear and even danger. In all accounts, they have been encountered at night only, are very pale, and true to the name, have eyes that are blacker than the void. It's possible, therefore, that as I mentioned in the start, that these creatures are a variant of them.
Thats racist bigot
My greatest fear is that this show will end like Lost.
Damn this is amazing and u are very smart with this stuff very VERY SMART
I love your analysis videos!
Throughout watching this show the first and lasting impression of what the town represents to me is a form of limbo or purgatory where those who live there are living humans in a dimension where only souls should inhabit. I think that there very presence in that town could be a violation of the supposed natural order of life and death itself and those creatures could exsist only to harvest souls or to correct this violation. There seems to be several references to other faiths or religions from Catholic to norse or odinism with clues hidden in plain sight this leaves a lot open to interpretation though its interesting that of all the books they have in the library in town there are no copies of the bible or I'm guessing any other religious texts, I wonder what the significance of this is. If you really watch this show closely a couple times there will be something there you will see that you may have missed the first time round and that cannot ge said of many other shows on TV these days. I can't wait for season 2 and I so hope that it doesn't end on a cliffhanger and end up getting cancelled like so many other shows, that's beyond frustrating.
Maybe that place exist to imprison the monsters, since they do want to get out of that place as well
Like, you slayed the B-roll game! Pun intended. I just noticed that because you had limited footage of the “From” creatures you really needed a lot of visuals. It was really well edited considering the wide range from folk depiction drawings to very relevant movie villains like Cenobites (when the narration was commenting on the Christian coopting Celtic mythos and the Abrahamic afterlife lore) and the Balrog. The limited “From” creature footage was used sparingly thus remaining fresh and tantalizing whenever it was shown despite being reused.
I'm from Romania and I traveled for almost 8 months in Ireland. I liked it the most in Bundoran. I interacted with a lot of people and I haven't heard of these creatures you mentioned. But, do you know something, thank you very much because your version is the most plausible
When something evil comes this way, always remember. Throw salt and something made of Iron first, and ask questions later!
*a sluagh is my house* *sluagh starts screeching* me; “I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me”
Great video Alteori
@Alteori Maybe the 'Realm' these creatures live in is a kind of 'Spider Web' for want of a better phrase. It could be they use these realms to trap and hunt prey.
I don't think the monsters can be pinned down to any particular existing lore. I think they borrowed different concepts from various sources to create something entirely new. As far as Boyd's "infection", my gut tells me that the worms or whatever it is the old man passed onto him will end up being a defense against the monsters that come out at night. Everyone else who was caught by these creatures has died horribly but not him., yet he is chained. It's possible he is an outcast of a group of bigger bads or the creatures captured him and chained him, unable to kill him. There are a lot of ways this can go. I'm curious to see where this narrative leads.
That makes a lot of sense!
Have you watched S2Ep6 already? One monster was killed by, exactly, the method you stated.
finally someone that's intelligent and does actual research and pays attention lol, my god only a handful of people actually pay attention and can comprehend mythos and folklore history, it baffles me how slow people are when it comes to research, it's sad that many need their hand held
Its just regular demoncrat souls
why do they remind me of the creatures from miss peregrine's home for peculiar children
Really? I don't think they Are simillar at all. Aside from Being able to become human.
Most likely the sluagh also called the fairy host of the unforgiven dead. A lot of similarities between them and the mythology especially in appearance/actions.
I just hope this doesn't turn out to be a Mystery Box show like Lost or Heroes. Also having just started on it, I THOUGHT I sensed Celtic Otherworld vibes, though I wasn't specifically thinking of the Sluagh! Clever!
The girl who gets surrounded by the 3 creatures death was awful. The noises she made that sound painful.
RIP Trudy
All these legends and stories around the world point back to Genesis 6. When Angels came to make wives and bore children. Those children became giants and eventually ate men. They're the reason the flood occurred. They are now demons. They hate humans. In the show we can see most people are just killed for the "fun" of it. Vampires need blood, these creatures enjoy killing and deceiving.
I wonder if once they pass that line into/going towards the town you enter an entirely different dimension like u said or it is infact still earth and the same dimension but once you cross into the territory you are stuck, idk just a hypothesis
I hope this series won't go to waste as The Walking Dead did. I hate when the focus shifts from surviving monsters to surviving other groups of people or other unrelated things.
