Summary

In this haunting episode of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, a quiet unease takes hold—one rooted not in sudden terror, but in the slow realization that something has been listening far longer than it should have. What begins as a small, easily dismissed disturbance grows into a chilling meditation on denial, time, and the irreversible consequences of answering when you shouldn’t. Carefully performed by voices competing in the Evil Idol 2025 Voice Acting Competition, Invitation to Agony is a slow-burning descent into psychological dread—one that proves the most terrifying horrors are the ones that wait for you to come back on your own.
