As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of horror gaming under my belt, let me tell you, From Season 3 Episode 8 has truly sent shivers down my spine like no other. The ending scene where Elgin drags Fatima into that dark, grimy cellar was nothing short of terrifying. It’s not often that a show can make me feel the same level of fear as I did playing Silent Hill or Outlast, but Fromville has certainly earned its place among those ranks.


Instead of fretting over mythical creatures, it’s the human beings that should send shivers down our spines at this point. The chilling climax of the eighth episode from MGM Plus’ horror series in season 3 has proven to be the scariest moment so far.

Over the past week, fans have grown tired of the endless stream of unresolved queries and puzzling character actions. It seems like Jim, among others, is particularly guilty in this regard.

Indeed, an alarming incident occurred: Fatima attacked Tillie by stabbing her. This disturbing development may portend ominous consequences for the town of Fromville, as it seems plausible that she is either transforming into a monstrous figure or is about to give birth to one.

It’s also set in motion a chain reaction of paranoia and logic being thrown out the window, culminating in a scene that felt ripped straight out of a horror movie. Warning: spoilers ahead!

Fatima’s nightmare begins in From Season 3 Episode 8

Towards the finale of Episode 8 from Season 3, Elgin follows a Polaroid photograph’s trail to Fatima’s secret location. He later guides her to the ominous basement he discovered in Episode 7. However, when she attempts an escape, he compels her back against her will.

In this chilling sequence, it’s Elgin that sends shivers down my spine. I never thought the kind-hearted, gentle soul from our game world would turn out to be a menacing figure.

If he’s capable of something like this, then anyone is. But what’s scarier is the fact that Fatima has no choice in the matter, echoing recent real-life events. 

As Fatima attempts to depart, Elgin prevents her and asserts, “This is the sole sanctuary where the infant can be secure.” Yet, she counters, “There isn’t a baby.” However, Elgin persists, “Indeed there is. It’s merely not yours.

Now, she feels a sudden, familiar stabbing sensation in her abdomen, much like the one encountered back in Season 3, Episode 7, which leaves her even more exposed.

It appears as if Elgin is determined to confine her against her will in this dungeon, compelling her to either bear a monstrous child or undergo transformation into such a creature.

Later, the location is significant: Elgin found human remains that had been stuck in the place for several decades prior, and it’s unlikely he had ever sanitized or tidied up the area before pulling her down there.

She’s currently suffering deeply, and this new predicament is just making things worse by intensifying her misery. Elgin seems to have lost his ability to understand and feel for others, leaving the situation completely in control. (Paraphrased)

A significant number of viewers found themselves equally chilled to their bones after watching this particular scene from Season 3, as expressed on Reddit by one viewer who stated, “In my personal opinion, the scene where Elgin drags Fatima down the stairs might be the most terrifying moment this series has ever created.

It’s not hard to picture the terror of carrying something within you that doesn’t belong and is evidently hurting you. And to make matters worse, someone abducts you to care for it. In essence, Elgin argued ‘My control over your body.’

One person likened him to Sara, but another expressed, “In my opinion, he’s far more difficult to deal with than Sara. To be confined in a room I cannot escape from and which is unknown to others, in darkness, would be a fate worse than death for me.

In a rephrased and more comfortable style: “Imagine a situation where a spectral woman in a kimono seems to appear during my childbirth ordeal, possibly giving birth to a monstrous demon offspring. Alone and vulnerable, she may face the possibility of being slain, abandoned, or consumed by this evil creature. Quite a chilling thought!

Earlier in the episode, it was noted that Elgin had been instructed by the entity operating the Polaroid camera to draw his own blood, which he subsequently did.

In that moment, when he discovered them at the forest dwelling, I never imagined things would turn out like this,” they exclaimed. “Now, one might wonder if he intends to make Fatima consume his blood.

As I chimed in, “Honestly, it was downright petrifying. Elgin, he’s quite a towering figure, seems all soft-spoken, but when things got tough for Fatima, he made it seem as easy as turning a page in a book, trapping her somewhere nobody would even think to look.

I’m deeply saddened by Fatima’s situation. She’s enduring unimaginable hardships, and despite her past actions, she yearns for life. Now, she finds herself in a challenging role as a host or carrier.

Secrets threaten Fromville’s future

In the past, Fromville residents have given us reason to fear, as incidents such as Sara murdering several individuals, among them her own brother, and Abby, Boyd’s former wife, who took lives after a mental breakdown, have occurred.

In the world of Season 3, Episode 8, I found myself part of an intriguing community that tackled our shared issues collectively. As for the characters, they were holding onto their hidden truths, making each interaction a captivating puzzle to unravel.

Boyd instructs Fatima to seek refuge in the cabin and disguise the truth that she was the one who took Tillie’s life, enabling Ellis to locate her, thereby facilitating their escape plan together.

Indeed, many locals seem to blame Sara for previous events. This situation might lead to serious repercussions later on, particularly if an innocent individual ends up being implicated.

One Reddit user speculated that Elgin may try to shift the blame onto someone else because it’s advantageous for him, and they suggested Sara as a possible fall guy or girl.

Despite informing Donna about it, Boyd and Ellis have managed to keep the Tillie incident hidden from the rest of the town. Now that she’s departed, they might believe that Fatima was taken away by some mysterious creatures or chose to flee on her own accord.

Either way, it doesn’t bode well for Fatima’s future, nor does it for the residents of Fromville: the Talismans can’t protect them from each other.
