It's time to turn off the lights and turn on the dark.

Chilling tales for dark nights. The

The Good evening, listeners, and welcome to another bone-chilling edition of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights.

I'm your host, Steve Taylor, and tonight marks the grand finale,

the fifth and final installment in our special Evil Idol Resurrection series.

For the past several weeks, we've been digging into unforgettable performances

from our Evil idol voice acting competitions

of years past, shining a spotlight on tales that left lasting scars on the imagination.

And tonight, we close things out with two especially dark gems.

Both come from our fifth annual competition in 2020. Now, 2020 was a strange year for all of us.

It was right in the thick of the pandemic. An evil idol, like so much else, was delayed and

eventually canceled mid-competition. No one ever officially advanced to round two,

but that doesn't mean the performances from round one weren't extraordinary. And tonight,

you'll hear two of the best. And remember, Evil Idol is back in full force right now for 2025.

Round one is underway and round 2 begins this November.
