To truly get into this, you have to explore how season 3 starts. Boyd (Harold Perrineau), Kristi (Chloe Van Landschoot), and Kenny (Ricky He) manage to defeat the Smiley Creature (Jamie McGuire) who was wreaking havoc and is responsible for these nightmares, allowing Boyd to investigate the body of the Smiley Creature! They discover that these unsettling creatures really do have human-like anatomy! When Boyd and Kenny looked for what the creature contained, they find a huge surprise! That's right, the body of the Smiley Creature is swarming with these awful cicadas!

Then suddenly the cicadas just vanish! It was unexpected for Boyd, Kristi and Kenny to see this but this isn’t the end for these pesky insects! The cicadas seem to just stay around, leaving this humming noise throughout the town! These cicadas don’t go away until Boyd destroys a mysterious music box! That music box kept Randall, Julie (Hannah Cheramy) and Marielle (Kaelen Ohm) all locked into this haunting nightmare!

Randall's Trauma

It’s really quite the haunting experience to have and it’s been playing over and over and over and over in Randall’s mind. This character doesn’t have peace in this third season!

In season 2, Randall, Julie, and Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno) were under some kind of supernatural curse! It appears the music box was to blame! This left these three under the power of this supernatural music box. What’s pretty cool is this isn’t connected to what Tabitha is doing as she finds out about the power and attempts to go rescue the children that are “locked up in the tower”! Tabitha is also aided by Sara (Avery Konrad)! The music box that causes so much trouble is eventually defeated and Julie, and Marielle both deal with this difficult moment, but Randall seems to experience these haunting nightmares!

You see these creatures attack the town residents making things even more intense and scary than before! All thanks to this music box monster! The cicadas and these terrors could be seen as a symbol!
