Summary
Under the warm glow of carnival lights, the air hums with music, laughter… and something evil. In this unnerving new installment of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, host Steve Taylor invites you to follow the lure of the familiar—parades, fireworks, and the promise of harmless fun—only to discover what happens when the celebration hides a darker purpose. Featuring a masterfully performed tale by Craig Groshek, with an all-star voice cast, this episode blurs the line between tradition and trap, between memory and myth.
