What Are the Creatures in From?
The eerie creatures of From, like Smiley and his ghoulish counterparts, are based on folklore:
Sluagh (Scottish Folklore)
- The creatures resemble the Sluagh, a flock of restless spirits.
- In folklore, the Sluagh devours souls, paralleling the show’s monsters consuming organs, believed to house the soul.
- Their torment of vulnerable individuals aligns with scenes like Boyd scolding Frank for leaving his family unprotected.
More Creatures to Come
The series hints at more terrifying beings:
- Yūrei (Japanese Folklore): Ghosts of the restless dead, often depicted in traditional clothing, like the drowned women seen in the show.
- Future seasons will showcase additional mythological entities from various cultures, expanding the show’s anthology of afterlife creatures.
