This chapter, we reconnect with Brent, Lori, Cam, and Rosie Collins, as they resume their journey south to Whitebird, Idaho, after escaping from The Ark, the doomsday compound near Plummer built by a psychopath.

  • The Ijiraq

    We begin deep in the Canadian Arctic.  Inuit tradition warns of a mysterious being that can become invisible, disguise itself as an animal, and lure travelers farther and farther into a frozen wilderness from which they may never return. This creature isn't merely an old legend—because some still claim to have encountered one themselves. Then we go across the frozen wilderness of Lapland where an old Sámi tradition tells of murdered or abandoned children whose restless spirits can still be heard crying from the places where their bodies were hidden. Lastly, for Dan's stories, generations of Inuit children have been warned not to wander too close to cracks in Arctic sea ice, because something beneath the frozen surface may be watching and waiting to drag them into the black water below. Tonight, we'll explore the legend of the Qallupilluit! Then, Lynze has four stories for us. She begins in Iraq where a young child is certain she has seen a demon. Then, another weird one about a glowing cube that two people both see and hear. So strange. For her third story, is it a real man or is it a creature we don't know yet? And lastly, a sweet little tale to round out this wide variety of tales this week!

  • The Jinn Castle

    We begin on an island in the Persian Gulf where four soldiers are assigned to guard an isolated military outpost. They allegedly died together under mysterious and terrifying circumstances. Years later, another man would approach this now abandoned post after dark and claim to witness something incredibly bizarre. What might actually live at this place, and what may have killed those soldiers? Then we go to Egypt, to an extravagant royal palace that underwent a macabre transformation from a house of life and light to home of the dead. Then, we have a classic haunted house tale. It's been a while since a story here really focused on the hell a house can bring to your life. And then lastly, a very upsetting encounter in a cemetery. Human or otherwise, it's really bothersome.

  • The Haunted Halls Of Gonjiam

    We’ll head to South Korea and into the decaying halls of one of the nation’s most infamous allegedly haunted locations, where four university students will discover that some urban legends may have a little more truth behind them than they’d like. What begins with the strange sound of something bouncing on an empty floor above them will end with the students trapped between two horrors.  Then, we’ll travel to Japan, where in 1974 a young farmer claimed that a knock on his door at three o’clock in the morning led to an absolutely terrifying supernatural encounter involving several extraterrestrials and their spacecraft. Next up, we are back in the US and in Gettysburg where a group of strangers share a very real paranormal experience all caught on tape! Lastly, a young child hears a voice throughout their life. After loosing someone they love, the voice comes back. Who was it? And how did this happen?

     

    WHAT: THE 8TH ANNUAL BAD MAGIC GIVING TREE!

    WHEN: GIFT CARD DONATIONS- MONDAY, OCTOBER 5TH thru MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16th

    ASSISTANCE: SUBMIT YOUR NAME VIA EMAIL BETWEEN OCTOBER 5TH AND OCTOBER 15TH.  RECIPIENTS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF SUPPORT ON OCTOBER 24TH.

    WHERE: Email [email protected]

    WHO: 35 FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE SUPPORT THIS YEAR

    For eight years now, we have been hosting the Bad Magic Giving Tree. This is a project so near and dear to my heart. I have been on both sides of a holiday giving tree. I personally appreciate what it meant to my family and I the year our gifts came from a community resource. Now as someone facilitating the giving, I am reminded of what an honor and privilege it is to give back.

    This years process will mimic last years. Here is how it will all work: Everyone who would like their children to be considered needs to email ONLY YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME to [email protected] . NOTHING MORE. ONE submission per family, PLEASE. Duplicates will be deleted. 

    We will enter all of the names into a random generator, aka put all the names in a hat, and allow the names to be chosen at random. Everyone will receive an email, regardless of their outcome. Submit your name between October 5th and October 15th. No names will be accepted after October 15th. By October 24th, everyone will be notified. Those whose names were picked from the hat will be given next steps.

    As in years past, we will be applying the December monthly donation to this amazing giving tree and will be giving this money right back to our community. We continue to ask and encourage our community to donate Amazon gift cards to the cause. For ease, all of the shopping happens this way. For every extra dollar donated to the cause, Dan and I will match it, up to $13K. If you have $5 or $10 bucks or more that you’d be willing to donate, I assure you, it adds up! Alone we can do so little but together we are deeply powerful. Last year, the fans sent an additional $14K! If you are able to help, please go to amazon.com to purchase a digital gift card. When prompted for a recipient email, please enter [email protected]

  • Nightmare Fuel #66: The Girl Next Door (2 of 2)

    In this sixty-sixth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we return to Delaware Street, where a strange clicking sound coming through the wall of a downtown duplex has led several tenants to discover that the young woman living next door is hiding something far more horrifying than anyone could imagine. But the true nightmare may be her landlord, Bernie, whose desperate attempt to save someone he loves has left a growing trail of victims behind.

  • The Devil's Century Box

    We head to Puerto Rico this week with Dan! For centuries, soldiers stationed at one isolated watch post in old San Juan were said to vanish without a trace, leaving behind only rumors of something evil lurking in the dark. And when a modern worker begins hearing an old military call echoing through the fortress after sunset, the legend of the Devil’s Sentry Box suddenly feels far less ancient. Then, we head to Pennsylvania, where in 2002, a husband and father disappeared near his home, only to be found dead after a massive search with no obvious explanation for what had happened. Then came reports that, at nearly the exact time he vanished, something strange was seen hovering over the ridge where he had last gone. Lynze's first tale feels like its right out of a horror movie from Rob Zombie. Two PO's go on a house visit and get a whole lot more of an adventure than they bargained for. Then, we go to Colombia for a medical work zoom. How would you react to seeing someone who should not be there, while taking a work call? 

    We are donating $13,150 to Big Table. Within in that donation is $2477 which came directly from tips at camp being rerouted to Big Table! We are putting $1,180 into the scholarship fund for 2027! If you’d like to learn more about what Big Table does to support those in the service industry, you can visit bigtable.org

  • The Northern Crown

    We begin this week at The Northern Crown: An extravagant Russian hotel that never welcomed a single guest, accumulated decades of deaths, rumors, and claims of a towering shadow figure lurking inside—and one worker says he discovered just how dangerous that presence was shortly before the building was finally demolished. Then... holy cow is this is a weird one. The story of Alyoshenka. When an elderly Russian woman claimed she'd brought home a tiny, bizarre humanoid she found crying in the woods, no one believed her—until other witnesses saw it too, police recovered its mummified body, and an increasingly bizarre mystery began to unfold. We travel back to the US where we visit Cincinnati's Music Hall for a series of creepy events. Wrapping up this weeks show, a young child makes an offering to something that keeps visiting her. 

    Also! Exciting news! We were lucky enough to voice a carnival couple, Hank and his wife, for the episode, “Clown Heads” By Em Starr on THE NO SLEEP PODCAST! Do yourselves a favor and go check it out! Tell us how we did! Be sure to leave David and his team a 5 star review where you consume this media. We hope you enjoy this special collaboration as much we loved doing it!

  • Nightmare Fuel #65: The Girl Next Door (1 of 2)

    In this sixty-fifth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we visit units 1214 and 1216 East Delaware street, a duplex in a not-so-great part of town in some city in the southern American midwest. Something is really not right with one of the tenants. And the property manager, Bernie, curiously seems to know a lot more about what's going on than he should.

About Scared To Death

From the publisher's feed

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.
