Tales from the Dead of Night 2 by Jared Rivet
Original release date November 2 , 2021
Nocturna, your ghoulish host from 2018’s original TALES FROM THE DEAD OF NIGHT returns with another trilogy of terror tales guaranteed to chill your blood:
In NIGHT MOVES, when Annette hastily decided to move out of her haunted apartment in the dead of night, it never occurred to her that the supernatural force plaguing her previous home might decide to come along with her.
In THE BELLOWS, what starts as an innocent campfire spook story becomes a terrifyingly real life-or-death battle for survival for four friends on a camping trip in the desert.
And in THE METHOD VAMPIRE, a cavalier TV star becomes the target of a very dangerous individual after he claims to be a real vampire for publicity.

Tracy Clifton produces, writes, acts, sings, hikes, bakes, takes photographs, and watches horror movies with a sofa pillow blocking half her face. She likes vampires, the Beatles, cheese, long walks on the beach, scaring people, autumn, ghost stories, traveling, and reading. She’s been with Earbud Theater for six (? time has no meaning anymore) years and she’s been stabbed, stalked, slashed, possessed, undead, blinded, and devoured inside the stomach of a water beastie, among other bad endings. She’s wondering if maybe the Earbud Theater writers are trying to tell her something…
Nicholas Thurkettle as Hunter and Dave the Stand-In
Although the reasons are lost in the mists of antiquity, “Nicholas Thurkettle” was the name assigned to the unidentified entity discovered in the experimental wing of Earbud Theater’s Underground Lair. A pioneering researcher in alternate dimension theory vanished during the the most recent cosmic szyzygy (you remember,) and due to an ongoing labor dispute with the janitorial staff, her equipment was left on all night; and it is theorized that this is when the entity made its incursion into our reality. Nicholas Thurkettle, while slow adapt to the intricacies of human society, has proven to be an invaluable contributor to all Earbud’s most mind-shattering endeavors as a writer, director, and performer. He is currently seeking representation.

Craig Good – Sound Designer
Craig Good spent 31 years at Pixar doing camera work for much of that time but, along the way, never gave up on his interest in audio. Somehow the evil forces of Earbud Theater sucked him into their maw back in 2014 and he has been doing sound design and post production on episodes ever since, occasionally adding his voice to the darkness.
He believes that you should be afraid of your entertainment and not your food, so he has written a recently-released book called Relax and Enjoy Your Food: Save your money, your health, and your sanity by separating fact from flapdoodle. It is available on Amazon as a paperback, Kindle, or Audible version, read by the author. He tweets, probably more than is healthy, at @clgood.
