i agree with this theory but if Martin was real and he wanted to die passing the worms to Boyd was the only way cause he claimed they were keeping him alive. but i don't trust Martin 😂😂 i don't trust the boy in whit too sorry 😂😂 Fromville has me second guessing all the supernatural entities

[@rhondaw5696]

It totally made sense to me. I thought it was really odd that when Boyd asked Martin questions, he conveniently changed the subject. Boyd was so scared and thrown off, he just wanted out and was trying to save Martin. Move now, questions later.

He was the only one left out of the last 3 victims.

I've been saying that the Bottles contain evil entities that are trapped in this little terrarium. Boyd took down one of the bottles after Sarah told him not to. There's an empty bottle in the stairs of the Lighthouse in Tabby's dream. Boyd says stopping the music "might be the last chance to put the genie back into the bottle". Too many bottles not to be connected.

[@The_Barefoot_Wrestler8824]

adding on to your point, its a mythology that you can trap evil spirts in bottles that dates back centuries and is also believed in many cultures around the world

[@Calinotch06]

[@LP-3691]

That’s actually a good theory

[@EmansReviews]

@@b1bbscraz3y actually this was something I missed before making the video. Whether Nathan was alive or not did not matter. The entity still knew people's fears and took on that form. For example, in ep 9 of season 1, Boyd demonstrated a fear of worms. And what did Martin just so happen to pass on to Boyd? That's right... Worms. So it's less about who or when someone is dead and more about when a fear is known or expressed, the evil entity has access to use it. Make sense?

[@robbrown6240]

For me the bodies being gone including Martin's when Boyd returns is explainable. We know that place isn't in the physical realm as Julie, Randal & Maryelle's bodies were physically in town but spiritually trapped in that dungeon/tower.

If it were true then wouldn't the dead skeletons be gone once the person literally died? I don't think it's consistent which is why I think Martin, and everything else was all part of the ruse. Remember the evil entity was laughing at Boyd... Makes more sense that it would laugh if there was a trick that was pulled.

[@sunshinefogleman127]

Yes! I couldnt agree more! I never trusted Martin. I felt like Martin was the evil entity, and he was using Boyd's need to save others, against him. He used Boyd to release the evil when it infected him with the worms. "My blood is your blood now. He knew about Boyd's wife, and he was the only one there that could have thrown Boyd the rope. The same evil entity uses Abby's visage to trick Boyd and prevent Boyd from stopping the music. Boyd wised up and didn't listen to fake Abby. He broke the music box, and thwarted the entity's plans.

[@darkmaven7037]

I could probably go on.

[@Theocracy8]

Season 2 was scarier and had more action, BUT sadly they're spinning around the plot and the only redeeming aspect of this series is the last scene where Tabitha finds herself in the hospital. Either they're in alternate reality or this is all am experiment.

What do you think about this: When Boyd met Martin in the tower, there were 2 other skeletons there. What if Martin was actually Randall and the other skeletons belonged to Marielle and Julie. They are very careful not to disclose Randall's last name. What if it's Martin, and he is in the Marines. He acts like he could have PTSD like many from the military. They also don't show his arms that could have the tattoo that was seen on Martin's upper arm.....We know time has no barriers in the Fromplace. So Martin could be Randall, who was the last surviving captive.

[@hostile2568]

I think the worms under Boyd's skin were the cicadas. I think Martin purposely transferred them to Boyd to make Boyd think he might have a weapon ro fight back at the monster's with. But when in reality it was more of this place's evil coming for them. Specifically the 3 the cicadas captured, and unless he stopped that music box those 3 captured may have become smiley monsters themselves. And I think a new cycle may have begun as well.

[@fireliar123]

I think “Martin tricking Boyd thinking the worms is a weapon” is false because Boyd had no intention in the first to give the blood to the monsters only when he needed to pass it on to save his son is when he did it so I don’t think that’s the case

[@JSustain]

[@Vaeland]

After seeing how the others had white eyes and were incoherent when trapped inside I think Martin was lying 100%. I also don’t think he went back in time, I think Martin was actually trapped in the present. Makes me wonder where his body is if he actually died, the others had physical bodies outside so where was Martin actually? I think Martin was the same as Abby and possibly Tom the bartender when talking to Jade, just using an appearance to manipulate them while they think it’s themselves. I think the main goal is going to end up being Fatima’s baby. She was given ability to conceive by the town so it’s possible she’s just a surrogate for a half human half dreamland baby that monster will be able to physically control

But he was scared. Also, they killed people who thought that the monsters were just regular people.those people weren’t afraid of them.

[@NM-Queenofthedonutpeople]

The talisman stopped them; they turned away because they knew they had enough other prey to kill.

[@EmansReviews]

^Correct

[@deeptruthss]

i don’t think it’s about not being fearful but rather about attacking them back and being brave despite being fearful. that may explain the reason why they still attacked people who were not fearful (because jot aware of what they were).

[@54mensababe]

He didn't open the door and go outside or let them in either. He knew they couldn't get to him because of the talisman.

[@brittanyofhouseblackwood]

So I think you could be right...in 'Lost' there is a mysterious evil entity on the island called 'the man in black' and not only does he want to leave the island where he's trapped, but he can also shape shift, he is technically 'the monster' in the story, he uses dead people to manipulate other people by taking their form, he can cause visions AND during one episode he took the form of SPIDERS and bit 2 people, causing them to become paralyzed! The people on the island trying to keep him on the island describe him as 'evil incarnate' so yeah sounds kind of like a boogeyman to me

[@PY68]

Yep, I been getting "Man in Black" vibes for a while now. I agree with much of Eman's theory, but I like the way you put it better..."a" boogeyman, not "thee" boogeyman. My issue is why would a supernatural entity be connected to a music box, with its abilities heightened & weakened by its use or non-use. That leads me to believe that this boogeyman is more human in nature, but evil corrupted, a-la man in black. And this person at one time had a connection to the music box. My 2 cent.

[@lisac3067]

Stephen King’s Dark Tower series has a Man in Black too that’s evil.

[@damientom]

Good theory. My side theory: the dungeon is not a real place. It's a mindscape/illusion/dream or something. The Anywhere tree sent Boyd to the ruin where he appeared to leave and returned to the dungeon. This explains the rope, dungeon cleaning service, and the new three prisoners being there in the dungeon as well as in a different location at the same time.

[@deeznugz420]

Awesome theory my dude! I was thinking along the same lines with Martin, the worms, visions of Abby and the cicadas being linked to the same “monster” just didn’t link the boogeyman. The fact his eyes weren’t greyed out and he could hold a conversation unlike the three taken by the cicadas was a big giveaway Martin wasn’t necessarily a “real” person. Pretty certain Martin was just another shape shift like when it also presents as Abby and the worms. Loving this show so much, season 3 feels soooo far away!! Great video man keep up the good work 🤘🏻

[@samo6727]

Going back to season 1, Sarah described to Father Khatri who They were, that they had been there for a very long time and used to be like them (the people in town). Sarah mentions they were looking for a way to escape, to go home. They watched Khatri bury the bag, proving they exist via communication thru Sarah. Maybe its more than one entity, maybe some sort of spiritual phenomenon in a parallel world, where a big ass tree in the road results in a shift in the physical world around you. I wonder if It or They put the tree in the roads located all around the country for each person who arrived in this town.

[@Lyrad8791]

What if the voices are actually the children we keep seeing? Would put a whole new twist on things.

[@stefankrunic8188]

I have a theory, now hear me out. What if Victor witnessed a horrible situation, like Christopher who was beloved by the town, started killing people. He became a maniac and started shooting everyone, killing his sister and his mother. Maybe such traumatic event and pain he felt cause him to somehow create this crazy loop where all his fears live and torment others? That is why he's simple, while as boy, he seemed normal. Only when we start to dig deeper into his mind do crazier things start to come out.

[@JenniferBrooks-eq3rn]

My theory is that whatever built the world they’re in and whatever controls it can also read minds and control their dreams. The dream imagery is everywhere in the show. For me, Tabitha proves that they’re in a shared dream world and the only way out is to die in the dream. Abby was right and she’s visiting Boyd in her dreams and telling him the truth. If you stop trying to survive the place you get out. The place is a lot like a game that resets when people exit, new people enter. Resources are provided when you try to stay like chickens and goats, but they get taken away if you attempt to leave. Abby , Iron Abby who doesn’t break, was sane. She remembers a dream from her childhood when she’s in Fromland because she’s Eloise and she was there before. She also remembers how she left and how to get out so she is actually freeing people. She’s now contacting them through her dreams to help them get back to her. The jukebox leads Boyd to the lighthouse. Later it plays In Dreams by Roy Orbison during a Boyd montage. The trailer for season two plays Dream a Little Dream. Tons of pictures in the opening of sequence are of beds and a monster taking one from their bed. El Cucuy or onkoowie takes bad kids from their beds, so this is somehow a part of the story as well. It’s depicted in the opening sequence. But dreams are the key and dying is the way out just like we typically awake before we die in dreams. There’s so many dream clues obviously with the sleeping attacks, everyone sees the tree when they arrive, Donna makes Fatima a dreamcatcher, etc. Yes, Donna is sus. So is Tilly, I think she might be Victor’s mom. Victor, Abby and Tilly look ALOT alike and the ages seem to match up for them as well.

My theory is that when people die in from land they return to the real world and leave the dream world. So anyone who dies there would actually still be alive. I think Victor’s mom might have found a way back in to be with him before she dies of cancer. As others have mentioned, Tilly seems familiar with the place and more comfortable than you’d expect from someone new. She also just looks a lot like the actress who plays young Victor’s mom.

[@JordanThomasmedia]

Aye! Back on the theory grind! Love to see it! I’m still waiting for Sara to explain to someone that the reason she was trying to kill Ethan was because her arm told her to. Really thought that may have been connected to the worms Boyd had/ the season 2,monster. Starting to believe it’s just another mystery that needs explaining.

[@SyIis]

Get teleported to a seemingly made trap well for people. Man shackled to the wall. Throws you a rope somehow while bound to a wall. Man shackled to the wall sickly and could barely hold himself up anymore. Mentions your wife he shouldn't know or what she even said at the time. Out of nowhere shows he can easily break his shackles, which has been "imprisonments" to him all before he got sickly. Yeah, pretty much. Also, hallicination and shapeshofting are like THE main thing for most of these types of "monsters".

Boyd was ment to release the worm that turn to cicadas to affect the town. In this world the monsters or the enemy are 10steps ahead. They sleep under the town because of that’s how the see and hear through the tree roots and the trees. They constantly know what’s going on.

[@robbrown6240]

I went back and re-watched Martins scenes in Episode 1-2. I believe he was in fact a real person, trapped there by an even worse evil being but possessed by the entity as you dubbed it "the boogeyman" which came out in Martin once the music stopped.

[@mikeianneo3432]

I think your right about the boogie man theory. This town is about taking advantage of your fears like spiders, cicadas, ventriloquist dummies, etc. but who is on the other side telling them the truth to break the music. The one that told them the nursery rhyme. It’s interesting that a nursery rhyme is something we tell children and is the children’s nursery rhyme that help kill the boogie man’s plan. And the children’s crayon drawings that solves the answers to the town’s mysteries. Who tells us nursery rhymes and who tells us to draw crayon pictures? Our mother. Victor’s mother tells her kids to make the crayon drawings. Who comforts us in the real world when we get a bad dream with the boogie man. Our mothers. Remember in season one when Ethan’s mother, Tabitha confronts Ethan when he gets fear or is scared of the monster that killed his finger puppets. She says to Ethan there is no such things as monsters. Mothers always comfort us from the boogie man or monsters in our dreams. So I think Victor’s mother is the one that is sending them the clues on how to stop the monsters. It was Victor’s mother I believe that sent them the clue about the nursery rhyme. Who makes us feel better when we have a bad dream. Our mothers do.

[@davidnewton7436]

I think martin was a hallucination. He was able to hurt Boyd because the music was playing just like kenny got burned by the cicada while hallucinating while the music was playing. That also explains why martins body wasnt there when boyd returned. It was the boogeyman trying to get boyd to carry his curse back to town

[@Hitokiri1912]

Damn that's a nice theory but what about the rope?

[@AbdulFourteia]

If we build on this theory, It's possible the monster is disguised as one of three recent prisoners, most likely Randall. He could have been killed off when the cicadas came for him. This theory plays well with the mole conspiracy that was inserted in the show earlier.

[@roninmidori1188]

The theory that Randall himself started.

[@ooowee5814]

This makes perfect sense especially because the monster literally said it became excited when it touched Boyd’s arm.

I think this refers to when Sara grabbed Boyd’s arm while they were on their quest when the spiders came. The monster(s) felt Boyd through Sara.

[@humdinger5701]

A few common associations with the boogeyman is that he punishes disobedience, lives in the dark places like the woods at night, and scratches outside your windows at night. I wondered if this might be a fairytale like show. The boogeyman does match up nicely.

The Music On is definitely related to monster activity, Sirens lured sailors with their songs, Irish Imps would sing to lure children into lakes and.....in a reversal, Hamelin lured rats from a town with music as well. So, there is something there. Thanks man.

[@rookierafae2642]

I don't understand why people aren't talking about ethan's (sara's brother) nightmare of cicadas. If peoples dreams and nightmares manifest here. That explains everything. Nighmares - the spiders, ghouls, cicadas, and also the boogeyman (which means there's another big bad apart from him) and dreams - fatma's pregnant, boyd's health upgrade, the boy's leg, and tower (which might've been a dream of old sailors).

[@AileeMayPlants]

I agree! Fatima’s fear of pregnancy manifested into something that was trying to drown Elgin when he was in the bathtub!

[@tardust22]

Nathan was Sarah’s brother. Ethan is Julie’s little brother.

[@JenniferBrooks-eq3rn]

I agree. I believe that this show could be entirely about a shared dream world and possibly even a dream experiment. That would explain why so many arrive with their entire families or their loved ones arrive later. It could be something they signed up for or were forced into while in their homes. I think those who die in the dream world just wake up and that’s why the boy in white apologized to Tabitha because he was separating her from her family. I think he’s a distractor in the dream world, not a helper. I think he may even run it and the message Sarah got to kill the boy was for the boy in white, because then they would wake up and be free. I think the voices are from the people who have left but return in their dreams to help the others get out by dying in the dream world

[@NathanHallGadgetsGreatness]

Your theory is very plausible. I’ve theorized that the From place attempts to illicit as much fear as possible from the residents, like the killers in Stephen Kings Dr. Sleep. Nothing in Fromville is what it seems and you have to question everything and everyone. Love the show and love this theory!!

I agree with what you're saying. Also, now that he's been somewhat diminished, he's still got an agent implanted in town. From Chapter III: Tilly's Revenge.

[@tamikeevans3318]

I don’t think Martin was the monster simply because when Boyd returned back to the town and finally told someone about the worms he said it was like the worms kept Martin alive in that torturous state. Cause Martin looked like an actual living skeleton. Martin was hoping to die and it seemed like he knew once the worms were out of him he could transition in peace. If you remember when Sara was hearing those voices telling her to kill she had those worms in her arm at the diner and it formed the message to Kill Ethan.

[@bydesignmedia]

I also think Martin was not the monster. I think he was one of the ones "feeding" the town. I think I remember seeing other skeletons there with him. That could be why they are now experiencing fall/winter

I like this theory. I picked up Stephen King Vibes Season 1 when Boyd was bit by the Spiders when he and Sarah were in the woods. Also, when they kept calling the entity "It". I didn't trust Martin at all, and I found it strange that he knew what Abby said. I keep wondering if the From is an acronym for something though, are they talking about where people who come to the town are from or are they talking about the Entity where it's from.

Dude! That is the best theory yet I think the reason there are so many different types of religious or spiritual symbols in this show is because you are right. If it’s using their fears and they are all from different backgrounds and places, then the different rituals and tools and symbols would all be intertwined as well. Plus, I think maybe the place where tabitha woke up is where they are studying this entity. Maybe they caught the boogeyman and have put in a alternate space with these people to study it and how it effects people and how people effect it.

I think martin is the monster and is trying to repeat the same thing that happened when Victor was a child when everyone died at the same time. The 3 that were chained probably died too. So martin is just tricking Boyd to do the exact thing. And if it repeats again Ethan is the only child in town, Victor and Ethan are close friends, so there's a connection.

[@doebeezy5152]

Fromville is a place created from the minds of patients who experience life threatening accidents, they go to this place because they dont know what happened to them, their lost, confused and scared, their stuck in this place because their in a dream state thats fused together from the minds of people near death, sedated or in surgery, comas etc, their all desperately trying to escape but they dont understand their environment or how things work, as we see when tabatha awakens in a hospital, we also see signs of some type of “doctoral Precision” for the first time with the girl spiked to the tree, those monsters had to have KNOWN where to puncture that poor girls head to REALLY make her stay alive and suffer and have to experience the whole thing, there are more signs of this throughout the series, small clues that seem miniscule, but all have the same thing in common, “the environment has some type of knowledge,”Book smarts” or medical knowledge, i think when u die in “Fromville” you awaken in real life in a hospital

[@joshallen3026]

I mean that is similar ending to lost which is the same ppl..so maybe its a netherworld..they even mention a purgatory in first season

[@yobananaboy798]

I don't know what to think about what's going on, but I can't get enough of the creepy mystery going on in this town! Showing the "Lost" reference, maybe it's like that. There's an evil presence trying to keep people in the town (Martin) and a good presence (boy in white shorts) trying to save people? Some sort of supernatural game? Can't wait for season 3!!!!

[@alexjung9724]

The only thing making me believe martin and the two skeletons are real is the fact that the evil entity running things also chained julie, randal, and marienne to the wall and that definitely wasn't a hallucination. Martin could have been a shape shifting monster to trick Boyd but it doesn't seem likely to me. It would make more sense if martin was a real prisoner and needed to trick boyd into freeing him of his torture. What's worth noting is they were all chained to the wall while their bodies were somewhere else in a coma. Maybe Martin's physical body is actually out there somewhere?

[@sheld0nblack880]

Everytime Abby shows up it’s to distract and slow down Boyd in crucial moments so it’s always been obvious to me that she’s not there for good and it’s not actually her but the evil entity or whatever it is playing tricks on Boyd’s mind.

[@ladonnahylton8768]

Martin and Randall look a lot alike. Mariel and Julie we're inside where talismans could protect them. I find it very peculiar that Randall was left outside with no talisman right where the monsters were and they didn't kill him. It will not be a surprise to me if we later find out that Randall is connected to Martin as this Boogeyman.

[@dim9907]

That’s actually a valid theory. But I think there’s more to that and I hope the writers can do this better and actually explain

[@sarahlafferty6072]

I think we will see a spider eventually. And maybe it will be a “good” entity. Ethan has mentioned spiders twice. Once when he was hurt in the RV and once when they were digging in the basement. Then there is the drawing of the spider and Boyd and Sarah were dragged to a part of the forest where there was webs everywhere. I think it’s good because the spider drug Sarah and Boyd to a place where they would see the lighthouse. Also spiders eat insects and the “bad entity” has shown up as worms and cicadas.

This makes sense, like many theories do, I’d say when Martin says the town is the worst part he’s being honest as the monsters had to search for the people and thus it’s the worst part. Most people would think it’s the best part even before the talismans. Especially because you would assume the woods would be worse or even the caves. I know Boyd thought he meant because of no talismans, but I don’t think that’s the case. He didn’t even seem interested in the talismans when Boyd told him.

[@robbrown6240]

Martin actually says I thought the town was the worst part until I went through the tree. The things that come out of the forest are just the tip of the spear. So in his words the town is nothing compared to what else is out there that we haven't seen yet.

[@jeffhollandsnips]

This idea of Martin being the boogeyman would also account for the fact that he has normal eyes while the three later on all had the white eyes plus if he was a real person his body would need to be somewhere, right?

My theory is that they all were about to die in a car crash, but jumped dimensions instead. That’s why they come from all over the US. That’s why they are stuck in this realm with these things that have been stuck in there since for centuries. For S3, I think tabitha will somehow come across victor’s sister (because she was mentioned on going after their mom, but her body was never mentioned to be found) and tabitha will prob try and convince her to find a way to go back in order to save everyone

[@SH-bm8yp]

Victor says that the trees have been moving. This to me, indicates that this place itself moves. So it's possible it can move through certain areas of the country, capturing people in it's dimension. Sort of like how in Lost the island would move location from time to time.

I think you are right. In the cave there was that giant black/red figure that seems to be a dominant evil. That means there is one entity that controls this world and all the monsters. My question is for what reason Martin gave the worms to Boyd? Did he expect him to think that he could kill monsters with the worms? Or he expected him to pass the worms to everyone in the city or maybe to take control of Boyd's mind?

One counter point. How do Julie, Randall, and Bitch girl appear in the chamber AND back in town? The 'bodies' imprisoned are souls. It's how Martin was still there and could not 'die'. So either Martin was real His soul at least. Or he has already expired and been twisted/ having his image used by the entity.

[@EmansReviews]

Counter to the counter... If let's say when someone dies their soul disappears, then why were those skeletons there when Boyd first arrived? I mean I don't know the rules to this place. 😅

[@thatdudemoe9109]

Well that's no counter considering Julie's physical body was in town and in the chamber. The ones in the chamber must be psychic constructs, souls, ect. Who says souls are intangible and white clouds? Lol. When you die in the town from the cicadas, you appear to fully transition to the chamber in a soul like, yet physical state. There is no saving you at that point. There is only releasing your soul via transferring the worms. I believe those imprisoned are physical manifestations of souls, forced to stay there and relive periods of hope and despair, a forever dream and nightmare, fueling the entity of that place. I believe someone managed to free Martin's counterparts before, But he remained. A battery and or meal. Eternal. Til Boyd came lol

[@buthainaalmajed642]

I believe Martin is the story's villain, feeding on hope just like Abi warned. People cling to hope in this dimension, mistaking it for their true reality. I think they're in a coma, unknowingly sustaining Martin. When they die here, it might actually be an awakening. It mirrors our own reality, where we desperately fight death, which could be the gateway to our true, eternal paradise. Abi understood this. When she died, she tried to contact Boyd, urging him in every way possible to come with her and awaken to his true existence.

[@definitelynotdiana]

Not related but we now know Victor had a sister who escaped to follow their mother in the night of the attack. On the finale it was implied that Victor found his mother's body close to the bottles farway tree, but no sign of his sister, who probably was able to go into the tree. WHAT IF Tilly is Victor sister's, she was able to escape and now return? (Shoutout to @user-to8fm2zy8t 's comment saying that Till is a returnee btw) 1- We haven't seen Tilly nor Victor interact yet (and he probably wouldn't have recognized her anyway since he buried all his trauma, not even remembering he had a sibling); 2- she seemed to be the only "new comer" who was enjoying her time when the bus arrived at Fromville; 3- she also chose to stay at colony house (Victor's residence). 4- We were never told Victor's sister age but she could've been slighlty older or appear that way due to many other factor like pollution (that don't seem to affect fromville) or maybe illness (she brought the morphine). Idk I just think they focused too much on Tilly for there not to be a specific reason.

My theory is that they’re in a shared dream world that you wake up from when you die. I think Tilly is Victor’s mom who chose to return or was somehow able to return maybe as a mercy before her death from cancer, since she’s already dying. That being said, Abby said she had a nightmare of the place as a child. I think she died at the lighthouse as Eloise and she remembered that they all had to die to wake up. It would be cool if Tabitha found Abby in the real world because I believe Abby is sending messages from there in her dreams to help them get out. She told Boyd in the dungeon it doesn’t matter if you save them, you’re all going to die anyway. It’s true. They’re going to die and wake up eventually. By hoping and fighting for survival, they prolong their time there. But giving up on survival goes against Boyd’s nature( Mr. Fish and Loaves) so it’s nearly impossible to get him to stop.

Remember how many times a spider was mentioned. I think the evil entity is a inter-dimensional being like Pennywise from IT. I think Victor will be the hero and die at the end giving up his life to save Ethan and the town. The story Julie was telling Ethan with finger puppets(Norman) is exactly what’s going to happen to Victor. Some type of attack that’s to deep to repair is what will kill him. 🥲

[@TheBunnyDojo]

I have really enjoyed all your videos and theories. You made some really great connections and points. It can match one of my theories about the 7 children. I think they could be being used as the engine creating the town. The twilight zone (among others)has an episode about a kid who could make things real from his imagination. In his case he used his power to torture his family but these kids in From are victims being used like the telepaths in Minority report who were being used to predict the future. If the kids are powering the town it would explain the Boogeyman either as the one using them or a creation from their imagination. That would explain why Tabitha needs to save them. Just a thought anyway. To get even crazier I think it would be interesting if the children are dreaming in different layers like Inception then Tabitha was pushed to another level.
