Eventide Media Center

**Eventide Media Center** was an analog horror series originally created by Aidan Chick. On November 5, 2019, on the Tempest Universe channel, the series was announced as Chick's latest analog horror series. The Eventide Media Center YouTube channel was created on December 28, 2019, with its first episode released on February 15, 2020.

As of December 1, 2022, all work on this series has officially ceased. All videos have been removed from YouTube, though the channel still exists.

## Series Overview

##### *Main Article:* Eventide Valley

The "media center" of the series title stands for the library and media center used by the fictional town of Eventide Valley, Massachusetts, run by the Eventide Media Group. This place is used as an archive and library for unusual or anomalous events occurring there, along with several neighboring towns in the state of Massachusetts, USA. Towns that have had archived events and footage include Eventide Valley itself, as well as Misty Point, Indigo Shoals, Ashenfield, Somberville, East Circuit, New Trilight and Old Gothsford.
While it appears that the building has been around since at least 1969, the media center has a catalogue that dates back to at least 1943, and spans across the decades from the 1950s to the late 1990s. The media center initially claimed in a yet-to-be-published guidebook that they also cataloged "private telephone conversations and secret military documents," but this was redacted at the editor's request.

Among the few known associates of the EMC are Evelyn Blackburn and a mysterious figure known only as "E."

## Episodes

All original episodes had been uploaded to YouTube, with each season being referred to as a "Library." As of November 10, 2022, a second library (Season 2) had been added to the main YouTube channel. Library 1 was described as the "Local Collection," whereas Library 2 focused on a connective narrative concerning the character Evelyn Blackburn.

An additional YouTube short, titled "Funeral," was uploaded on November 16, 2022, but thus far it has not been officially included in either Library.

Due to controversy surrounding the episode "Crimson Creek," on November 30, 2022, Aidan Chick has suspended activity on this series as well as analog horror in general. He has also issued an apology; this apology was posted in the YouTube channel Community tab but has now been removed along with all content from the channel, Patreon and Twitter.

Other creators have attempted to continue the series with their own unique entries, extending from the original episodes' lore, but these are not considered official episodes of the original series. These new episodes fall under the series name "Eventide Valley Restoration" or simply "Eventide" (typically stylized as E V E N T I D E).
