The monsters in the MGM+ series From have fans thinking about their motives, as viewers have been anticipating when terrifying creatures will expose themselves. The horror series is incomplete without the monsters, who strangely enjoy toying with their prey rather than feeding on them.
What makes the monsters even creepier is their ability to disguise themselves as harmless humans and pretend to be kind. They are humanoid and are responsible for inducing anxiety and fear among the show's characters.
The monsters are also incredibly intelligent, using their abilities to manipulate and terrorize the town's residents. As seen in the hit TV series, Boyd and the townspeople are still exploring the origins of these creatures.
What is the origin of the monsters in the MGM+ TV series From?
The show currently has three seasons, and the townspeople are still struggling to find the origin of monsters. However, there have been speculations about them being humans in the past that later transformed into terrifying creatures.
Since they pretend to be humans at first, it might be possible that the monsters have adapted the appearance of their victims. The show hasn't clarified their origin yet, allowing Boyd and others to keep speculating.
When do the monsters kill humans in From?
Unlike typical villains or supernatural beings, the monsters have a specific time to hunt humans. They have a habit of coming out of the subterranean dungeons at night and invading the town through the woods.
While these habits might seem odd, they hint at their connection with vampires. Although it's rather unclear whether these creatures are vampires, their rule of hunting humans at night and intensifying tensions among the townspeople implies a vampiric nature.
Jim Matthews, played by Eion Bailey, believes that the residents are being tested for fun, and these monsters might be the key figures in analyzing fear.
What is the motive of the monsters in From?
The motive of these monsters in the show currently remains hidden, but it is believed that they kill humans for fun. Especially, the ones vulnerable to feelings of fear.
As seen in the TV series, Randall (played by A.J. Simmons) encounters the monsters at night, but since he isn't a victim of fear and anxiety, these creatures leave him alone. This behavior implies that the monsters didn't want to play with a human who wasn't scared of them.
Additionally, they couldn't hypnotize him as they do with each target after stalking them, making it hard to manipulate. However, there can be other reasons why these humanoids didn't feed on Randall.
Are the monsters fairies of old folklore?
Since the MGM+ show didn't reveal the origin of the monsters, it might be possible they are fairies from old folklore, disguised as terrifying creatures to trouble the humans. According to the old folklore, these fairies were far from the mighty typical creatures and were considered the spirits of the dead.
So, these monsters could be the spirits terrorizing humans. They are good at manipulating and deceiving humans by initially pretending to be kind. The monsters in the show possess similar habits, but as previously mentioned, their motives and origins are yet to be discovered by the townspeople.
