Is There a From Season 2 Trailer?
With the reassurance of a good scare from the master of scary stories, Stephen King,the trailer forFromSeason 2is packed with jump scares. The nearly three-minute promo clip picks up from where the first season left.
The clip opens with Perrineau’s character, Boyd experiencing mysterious things and sensing the presence of dark forces. The newly arrived residents in the community seem very odd and frightening as one of them scares an old couple to their bones. The scene cuts right there and there’s no way to tell if these new strangers are also some similar creatures from the forest or just another bunch of monsters who also want to feed on the community people. Dead birds, twisted bodies, and creepy characters dominate the trailer in the background of a most ominous rendition of “Dream A Little Dream of Me.” You can be sure you’ll never hear the song in the same way again.
