FROM Season 1 Episode 7: Colony House CHAOS! | Breakdown, Theories & Clues

That was a fun episode. All that free luv at Colony House and Kevin choose to walk on the monster side 😂 Stephen King wrote "Dreamcatcher"

How was Kevin living at a place with "free luv" and still dateless😄 Poor Kev.

Probably the best episode of the series

This shows that the monsters can move extremely fast in their true form- there's no monsters around when the van full of Colony House survivors pull up to the post office but then, suddenly, one is there to slash Father Kathri's throat.

9.5 rating is well deserved. This was the best episode of season 1, no doubt.

One thing that I feel was never brought up again was in episode 1 of season 1 I believe, when Julie noticed that one of the people monsters was someone she apparently knew from the outside world. After this occurrence I don’t recall anyone else physically seeing someone that they know as a monster

Those paintings of old colonial people in Ellis's room were likely already there when Boyd and family showed up in the town. Colony House appears to be a mixture of French chateau and colonial architecture from the 16th century.

The thing that infuriates me the most about the Colony House debacle besides that fact that Kevin was an idiot is that NO ONE considered HOW the monsters got in. If the talisman in Colony House worked and kept everyone safe up until that point, then something must have changed. Absolutely no one seemed to consider that the monsters had to have been invited in despite the fact that this is known to the characters. Megan and Lauren had a talisman but dumb Megan let the monster in. Yet no one paused to consider someone conspired to let a monster inside. They all acted as if the talisman was just rendered useless. The talisman and it's ability did not change, someone in the house decided to breach protocol and no one brings this topic up. Insanity.

I think I caught a plothole, because when Fatima and Ellis trapped themselves in the corridor with the talisman it showed that the monsters couldnt get in any enclosed area with the talisman, but when the monsters killed trudy they closed the door behind her to trap her, which means the rest of the house became an enclosed area

So glad you are going back to review all the episodes! Season 1 has tons of clues and mysteries to decipher ❤

I screamed so many times in this episode lol and I was so mad about Father Khatri 😭

Kevin just confirms, simping is so dangerous

Why doesn't anyone communicate with each other?! Like how Tabatha saw all that crazy stuff in the caves but doesn't even bring it up to ANYONE. Then she just nonchalantly brings it up to Jade almost like she had forgotten all about it. It's infuriating. Everyone has so much good information to give each other.

17:28 It's the Goof Troop scream for me!!! 😂😂

Part of my theory is that people are being “pulled in” to the town by someone or something- I’m not saying this is the main story, but a part of it. Lately, on rewatch, I’ve been wondering if Victor is unconsciously responsible for some of what goes on. Maybe he is pulling certain people in to help, unknowingly. It seems that he was left there as the only survivor of some tragedy, and maybe he’s pulling people in. He’s been there the longest, I think. Or, maybe he’s just like the others and this all began long ago. Some of the people are like Victor, some are not, I think he’s someone who’s more receptive to what’s going on.

Interesting breakdown. You're on par with From Land when it comes to insightful analyses. So, does the string theory comment tie into the 'strings' Jasmine is attached to that are pulled by some unknown entity? One could fold that concept into your boogeyman hypothesis: either the monsters used to be human and he turned them or he willed them into existence somehow as his first offensive line to make the denizens fear him and thereby believe in him. The next step would consist in infiltrating their dreams and having their nightmares leave an impact that can be felt/observed in a waking state (worms, cicadas). That's probably why the worms manage to take out Smiley when Boyd transfers them to him. Boogeyman is in full control of the environment and gets to change or bend the rules on a whim so the magic bullets don't yield any results at all. I wonder whether The Boy in White is a semblance of his conscience taking shape and subtly opposing him because he only nudges people in the right direction until they're in the right place for, shall we say, drastic intervention, i.e. pushing Tabitha through the Lighthouse window. The color white not so surprisingly represents his innocent side and it's at its strongest in/around the Lighthouse that usually symbolizes strength, safety, individuality, mystery and existentialism; safety from the Jungian Shadow at play or rather fully manifested within the Boogeyman and Fromville that seems to be his mindscape, individuality because he may be nothing but a force of nature longing to share in the human experience (or deem being accepted as one of the denizens a viable loophole to escape this pocket dimension), mystery due to the town's entire set-up that may be in constant flux in terms of its nature / quantum state (so it could be purgatory temporarily, shifting into a pocket dimension etc.), existentialism as it emphasizes the existence of the individual as a free agent determining their own development through acts of the will (Tabitha and Jade's willingness to engage with the symbols and explore Fromville's edges, Sara's willingness to kill, Victor's arrested development bringing about restricted agency). Edit: I've looked into some Chaos gods because you used the term in your video title. There's the Greek Khaos who is the very first entity in existence who is followed by the two primordial gods Erebus (darkness) and Nyx (night) amongst others. Also, Eris the God of Chaos was known among the other Greek gods for her short temper, moodiness and bloodlust. She loved carnage and chilling with her brother, God of War, Ares. Regarding Ares, the Civil War soldier comes to mind.

Yes, the monsters go for mouths & tongues, the guy in episode 1 got his tongue cut out by Sarah (I think that’s her name), and Kevin’s was bitten out.

I agree this was a great episode of television, I was on edge the whole time. The episode in series 2 with Ellis being stabbed is another banger

I think there is something to the fact that the monsters go for their mouths! The voices also made Sarah cut Toby's tongue out... 🤔

9.5?! Dayuuummm🤣🤣 I've never seen you give that high a mark. That means you loved it and I 100% agree!!!
