Description

The paranormal comes to life as husband-wife duo Dan Cummins (acclaimed standup comedian and true horror fan) and Lynze Cummins (costume and wardrobe stylist for numerous film and television productions) share terrifying stories that will leave you sleeping with the lights on. Dan’s goal? To scare Lynze with creepy accounts of demonic possession, shadow people, and other eerie phenomena. And when he’s done, Lynze fights back with chilling fan-submitted tales of true horror. Together, they explore the darkest corners of the web, dusty old books, and even their own eerie surroundings—a studio filled with occult objects and located right next to a cemetery. Don’t forget to check out the mini-series Nightmare Fuel, airing on this feed the first and third Friday of every month, where Dan narrates a short piece of original horror fiction.

The Ceiling Man

The Ceiling Man

2025-11-1201:11:39

We head to South Africa to start this week.  Two South African men vanished from separate hospitals in recent years - only to be discovered days later, their bodies found in the strangest of places. Official explanations have never added up. Were they murdered? And if so… was their murderer human? Or something else entirely?  Then we’ll head to England, where, perched high above the sea on the island’s northeast coast, the ruins of Whitby Abbey have stood for nearly fourteen centuries - silent, watching, and supposedly haunted.Then,  a Veteran shares with us his tale of something from the other side reaching out and grabbing him. Who did this soldier show up with as he was not alone. Lastly, a young girl moves in a new home that she immediately hates. What lives there and why does it hate her so much? Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free? Want to help us support amazing charities? Join us on Patreon!Want to be a Patron?

In this forty-forth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we head back to 1921, when sixteen year-old Tommy Calloway is discovered as the sole crew member aboard a shipwreck near North Carolina's Cape Fear Lighthouse. The story of what happened to the rest of the crew will strongly test the head keeper's skepticism of the supernatural... before it smashes it to pieces. For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Scared to Death ad-free and a whole week early.

The Man Across The Street

Dan has a modern encounter claim revolving around a man and his friend seeing something across the street from his house when he was a kid. the events that occur years later make him think what they thought they saw wasn’t just in their heads.

Lynze tells the story of a long known haunted college campus with a specific tale of dorm room visitor who just won't go away.

Dan has two awesome legends for us this week. We start in Chicago to learn the legend of Resurrection Mary followed by many encounters with her. Then, we go across the pond to learn about The Dark Huntsman. Lynze shares some great fan tales specifically around Halloween. The first involves some adults using a ouija board for the wrong purposes.

The Bangkok Ghost Tower

The Bangkok Ghost Tower

2025-10-2201:20:101

Both of Dan's stories come from Thailand. Thailand has a LOT of supernatural stories!  We begin in Bangkok where we explore an abandoned and supposedly haunted skyscraper.  Then, we’ll head to one of Thailand’s biggest college campuses, Chiang Mai University, to examine a few of the resident spirits there. And learn a bit about the relationship between Thai culture and the spirit world along the way.  Then, Lynze has three very different stories this week. We begin in a hospital with a patient who raises hell in life... and maybe in death. Then, we head to Nevada to hear one persons harrowing tale of being chased in the dark. We wrap up this week in Sweden where a young man hopes to get lucky with a new love interest but goes home with something far more interesting! Scared To Death LIVE! 5th Annual Halloween Show!  https://www.moment.co/scaredtodeath/scaredtodeath-true-tales-of-hallows-eve-5Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

A Banquet Of Blood

We are off to Lima, Peru to explore the very dark legend of what many claim to be Lima’s most haunted location, La Casa Matusita with Dan. Has a 16th century curse led to a whole lot of blood and madness? Then, we’ll head to the suburbs of Chicago for a modern encounter that starts with a shoe print. Then in Lynze's half of the show, we have two fantastic tales! Her first is a second hand account of a man who needed to get away after a bad break up. What he found while camping alone may have been enough to scar him forever. Lastly, a great Halloween story of a group of teens exploring a cemetery only to find "themselves" there. Scared To Death LIVE! 5th Annual Halloween Show!  https://www.moment.co/scaredtodeath/scaredtodeath-true-tales-of-hallows-eve-5Bad Magic Giving Tree Info: Visit badmagicproductions.com for info! If you are able to help, please go to amazon.com to purchase a digital gift card.

Bringing Evil Home

Bringing Evil Home

2025-10-0801:21:243

Dan's first tale this week is wild. What if you brought some type of demonic presence home from a vacation and it ended up possessing your neighbor, and then your demonically possessed neighbor than attacked you? We head to Ireland for that one. And then, we’ll take a quick trip to Australia to hear about a supposedly haunted, and deadly, body of water known as the Devil’s Pool. Lynze has all over the map this week both geographically and spoopily! We begin in Nigeria where a family uncovers a possible curse in their home. Then we find ourselves in Chile where Mormon missionaries battle a demon.

Leave Hank Alone

SIX stories this week! Lynze switches it up with four shorter tales after Dan's usual two. We’ll head to Malvern Manor, set in the little town of Malvern, Iowa.Paranormal investigators and the supernaturally curious alike keep traveling to Malvern to explore claims of disembodied voices, pounding footsteps, things that move when no one’s touching them, the unmistakable sensation of a cold hand pressing into your back and Hank’s room. The most infamous space in the whole place. Then we’ll head to China, to hear an old story about an exceptionally beautiful woman who turns out not be a woman at all. While most people dismiss it as folklore, there are whispers that she’s real, that she’s still out there… Lynze then shares a fun story of two young girls giving commands to a ghost who obliges. The, a strange floating light is confirmed to be more than just a trick of the imagination. Third, a girl sees her sister playing where should she not be. Is it really her sister? Lastly, two young boys see and hear a woman in white before she disappears into thin air! Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp 2026: Next week we will be bringing you the details for WHBMSC 2026! Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?
