ThroughoutFrom, Tabitha has experienced recurring visions of dead children who are dressed in tattered, dated clothing, have much of their hair missing, and simply repeat the ominous word “Anghkooey.” After discovering that theMatthews family was brought toFrom’s townbecauseTabitha was chosen to save the children, the season 3 finale confirms that her purpose with the children goes much deeper than expected.
InFrom’s season 3 finale, Tabitha and Jade discover that they’re reincarnations of the deceased characters Miranda and Christopher. They’ve actually been reincarnated in town multiple times, dating back to their original forms’ failure to save the children from being sacrificed – as one of those kids was their daughter.

The Monsters Were Once Humans Who Were Transformed After Killing The Children
Considering Tabitha’s mission to save the children appeared to be the secret to leaving town and getting rid ofFrom’s monsters, there had long been speculation that the children’s deaths and the creatures’ creations were connected. Consequently, one of the mostpopular fan theories suggested that the creatures were once humans who had killed the children, being punished with their monstrous forms. This theory gained significantly more credibility following theBoy in White’s message to Christopherthat “the answers to the end are in the beginning,” implying the children’s tragedy was at the root ofFrom’s entrapping evils.

Tabitha and Jade have had visions of children mysteriously saying the word “anghkooey” throughout From season 2 – here’s what it could mean.
After serving as one of the show’s longest-running mysteries,From’s season 3 finale officially confirms that the monsters were the ones who had killed the “Anghkooey” children.

Why The Monsters Killed The Children & How They Were Created
The Children Were Sacrificed In Exchange For The Adults Receiving Eternal Life
After Fatima gives birth to the baby that immediately transforms into the Smiley Monster, who Boyd killed back inFromseason 2, she tells Ellis that she saw the true nature of the creatures. According to Fatima,the monsters killed the children in a sacrifice that would give them eternal life, which explains why the creatures never age. However, that sacrifice ritual turned them into immortal, nocturnal creatures that survive and are strengthened by feeding on human blood.
Fromseason 4 has officially been renewed by MGM+, but no release date has been announced.
This explains why the monsters consistently appear to be wearing attire from the 1950s and 1960s, have human organs, never age, and are only adults. The people exchanged the lives ofFrom’s “Anghkooey” childrenin order to live forever, andwhile their twisted wish was granted, they only live in the form of terrifying, bloodthirsty creatures. This revelation also confirms that the monsters can technically never be killed due to their sacrifice of the children. If they are killed, then they’ll be resurrected in the wombs of one ofFrom’s human characters.
