FROM made its debut in 2022, inviting viewers into the mysteries surrounding the Township and its trapped residents. The series was renewed for a third season last summer and now, the first teaser clip for FROM has emerged and reveals more chills and thrills to come.
FROM stars Harold Perrineau, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey Hannah Cheramy and more as it returns to the MGM+ platform after initially debuting on the Epix network. Perrineau plays the character of Boyd Stevens, the self-appointed sheriff and leader of the Township who devotes his life to protecting its inhabitants from the ghastly horrors of the night.

TV Line has more in its reporting on the teaser clip:

The series “unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter,” reads the official synopsis. “As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.”
We already know that the BLACK WATCH homies over at CASSIUS are hip to FROM and we expect the crew will be suggesting this series as well. Season 2 ended on an explosive cliffhanger and while we’re being vague, this show has to be absorbed from front to back to truly capture the moment. Yes, there are some bone-chilling scenes but the deeper story is worth the scares.
Check out the teaser clip below. The series will return this fall.

What Is Late Night With the Devil About?

Written and directed by Australia brothers Colin and Cameron Cairnes, Late Night With the Devil is a supernatural horror film that follows a series of strange events that occur on Halloween night 1977 on the set of the fictitious late-night talk show, Night Owls with Jack Delroy. As TV host Delroy (played by David Dastmalchian) welcomes guests to his set — including a psychic, magician, and an author who claims to conjure demons — unexplained accidents begin to happen, each getting more violent and gruesome. But as Delroy, his guests and his studio audience start experiencing new premonitions and hallucinations, it becomes unclear over whether the events are all real — or just a vicious nightmare.

Since its release, Late Night With the Devil has become both a critical and viral success, with audiences praising the edge-of-your-seat plot and debating the — spoiler alert! — shocking twist ending. Now, you can finally watch the film and experience the buzz for yourself.

Actor Carl Anthony Payne II, best known for playing Martin Lawrence’s goofy friend Cole Brown in the iconic comedy sitcom Martin, will star in an upcoming horror film.

No, Carl Anthony Payne II won’t be running from Big Shirley in the upcoming indie-horror film The Grove. Instead, he will deal with animalistic behavior that could prove deadly for himself and others.

Deadline exclusively reports that Carl Anthony Payne II (Martin) will take on the lead role, with Acoryé White (Juanita, Under the Stadium Lights), Psalms Salazar (P-Valley), and Guxci (Night Games) also joining the cast.
Alestair Shu (Shelter), Graham Edmonds (S.W.A.T.), influencer Anushka Van Lent (When the Ringlights Dim), Jesus Venegas (Bosch Legacy), and Jolena Wu (Eiknuj) make up the film’s supporting cast.
The website reports that White and Patrycja Kępa, who will also co-direct the project under their Anchored Lens Productions banner, are co-writing the script for the film.
The synopsis for the film reads:
The Grove follows a soldier’s homecoming, which takes a dark turn when he forgets to take an experimental medication, triggering a deadly descent into animalistic madness. What was supposed to be a relaxing lake house getaway with friends becomes a fight for survival, testing the limits of love and sanity.
Production for the Grove begins in Atlanta in April, and the film will debut at the Dreamscape International Film Festival in September 2024.
Are you excited to learn more about The Grove? We are curious to see what Payne II brings to the film in a leading role capacity.

Back in 2014 the horror world was enthralled with a small indie film about a sexually transmitted ghost terrorizing a gang of teenagers in David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows. A decade later we’re finally getting a sequel to the cult classic film.

On Tuesday (Oct. 31), the production team behind the surprise 2014 hit announced that a sequel to It Follows would be releasing “soon,” according to HuffPost. Naturally, the internet celebrated the news as no one even knew a sequel was in the works. Posting the announcement on their official Instagram page, Neon shared a poster for They Follow and in the caption wrote “THEY FOLLOW. The long-awaited sequel to the modern horror classic IT FOLLOWS from David Robert Mitchell. Coming soon.”

How soon though?! We’ve waited almost 10 years for this! Aside from the director returning to the helm for the sequel, the lead actress of It Follows, Maika Monroe, will also be returning to reprise her role of Jay Height. How she survived the film should be an interesting story as she seemed destined to fall victim to the evil entity that follows everyone who’s come into sexual contact with anyone who’s been touched by the curse.
The only way to avoid a deadly fate is to have sex with someone else and pass on the curse, but once that person catches the fade, the ghost will make their way back to whoever was next in line prior to their recent victim. Whether or not condoms can prevent such ghostly transmission is yet to be known. We wouldn’t take that chance though.

Are y’all excited about the sequel to It Follows finally happening? Let us know in the comments section below.
