Summary: Ever face a haunting and ask yourself "Where are these malevolent spirits even coming from"? The answer is here, in the Further. Further from hope. Further from reality. Further from eternity.

History: It is unclear exactly what the Further is, but some speculate that it is the realm between our world and Hell. It is where many tortured spirits and evil demons reside, waiting to enter our world and bring about havoc. Quite the interesting rogues gallery has origins in the Further. There's the Woman in White, a horrible person in life who tormented her son into becoming a crossdressing serial killer called the Bride in Black before they died and became murderers from beyond the grave. There's also KeyFace, the soul-snatcher who tricked the psychic Elise Reiner into letting him open up the Further in the first place, as well as the Man Who Can't Breathe, the twisted personification of death-induced misery who wants people to commit suicide so he can keep their souls as pets in the Further. But chief among all of them is the Lipstick-Faced Demon, an unstoppable devil tailor-made by the realm itself that simply exists to cause mayhem and kidnap the living to make them its slaves.

Notable Kills: KeyFace's method of obtaining souls is honestly too horrid to describe. To give you an idea, the first step is shoving a key in someone's neck.

Final Fate: Elise, whether she's living or dead, manages to take out some of the Further's worst across the movies. The Man Who Can't Breathe gets his mask removed and dies shortly after, KeyFace is smacked with a lantern into Hell by Elise's mother, and shortly after the Bride in Black is killed after a fight, Elise smashes in the Woman in White's head with a rocking horse of all things. But alas, the Lipstick-Faced Demon is still at large, and whether he can be beaten or not remains to be seen...

Powers/Abilities: All Further inhabitants have some degree of omnipotence, most notably possession, soul-snatching, and immortality. The Man Who Can't Breathe in particular can shapeshift into both the living and the dead.

Weakness: Other spirits can combat those from the Further, but other things such as holy objects can work too. The Man Who Can't Breathe in particular will sputter ashes and die if his mask is removed.

Scariness Factor: 4-You will be hard-pressed to find a motely crew of spirits as twisted and awful as what lies in the Further. Almost ever antagonistic being is malformed and awful looking one way or another. It's saying something that the Woman in White is the easiest on the eyes, yet also the evilest. KeyFace hardly even looks human, while the Lipstick-Faced Demon is the worst of them all, silly name notwithstanding. He is responsible for one of modern horror's most effective jump scares, and while it's a surreal sight to see a demon file his nails in front of a decorated mirror while listening to "Tip Toe Through the Tulips", it just highlights the sophisticated savagery on display.

Trivia: -The Lipstick-Faced Demon is actually played by Joseph Bishara, the first film's composer.

-KeyFace was played by Javier Botet, who rivals Doug Jones when it comes to playing humanoid creatures. His repertoire includes "Mama", "It", "The Conjuring", and "Crimson Peak".
