Horror fans are flocking to their television sets after Stephen King took to Twitter this afternoon with his latest spine-tingling series recommendation, and it’s already a fan favorite for many in the realm of all things spooky. So what is the series that has King wondering about it out loud? MGM’s horror thriller, From.
Calling the series “beautifully handled” with a “wonderful concept,” it’s clear that something about From is resonating with King, and while his high praise is undoubtedly a welcome joy for those associated with the frightful watch, it’s no surprise to those who have been tuning in from the very beginning. From is well into its second season now, and it’s one of those shows that gets better with each episode.
Many fans have responded to King, saying that the series is already on their radar and that they absolutely love it.
Some recognize that it sounds creepy, and they’ll soon become fans of the series.
This fan has an idea about the series that we’ve often considered; what if it’s all a social experiment?
For those who are as curious as some of King’s followers, we’ll give you a quick synopsis without spoilers; we wouldn’t want to ruin anything for you, after all.
“In a nightmarish town in middle America that traps everyone who enters, unwilling residents strive to stay alive and search for a way out, but they are plagued by the terrifying nocturnal creatures from the surrounding forest and secrets hidden in the town.”
There are several components to From that help make it something special; it leaves viewers feeling unnerved, spooked, and like we have to watch out behind us; what if these creatures were to make their way to our own town when the lights go out? It’s the kind of story with well-acted characters and a well-written premise, throwing us deeper into the what-if game with each episode.
We actually had the opportunity to speak with Avery Konrad, who plays Sarah in From, and her passion for the series and character was an immediate draw for many fans. Sarah is an integral part of the show, and we won’t give spoilers here, but if you’re starting your watch journey after King’s recommendation, you’ll want to make sure you pay attention to her.
