Summary

In this unsettling episode of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, step into a world where childhood memories wear foam suits and felt faces… and hide something far more insidious underneath. Behind the painted grins and cheerful theme songs lies a stage where reality warps, joy is manufactured, and the performers may not be entirely in control. Join host Steve Taylor as he guides you through a tale of desperate ambition, eerie nostalgia, and something lurking just behind the curtain—something that feeds not just on fear, but on those too willing to play along.
