    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Kicking it off with a great story, Dan shares something  NOT found from some online post. Or from any articles. This tale is based on some supposedly true stories. Sophie Evans found all this. She was clearly on the same page as I was last week, when it came to worrying about how modern technology and paranormal horror can collide today. His second story is a little one. Just a peek into the rumors that India’s Bhangarh Fort is not just haunted, but curse. We’ll look at two origin stories for the curse, and at a few claims of paranormal encounters. Lynze shares story of a family haunting turned attachment that started in New York and has traveled to North Carolina. Her last tale about a possible skinwalker had Dan in stitches. Not the usual aim here but that's how it shook out!

    New Merch:  
    For merch this week, a terrifying depiction of a poor soul's face burning alive. It's hard to imaging a more terrifying death that being literally scorched. The new 'Flaming Face' mini collection includes a tee, coffee mug, and wall canvas. This one truly looks gross but in the best of ways. Melting eye sockets, flaming bubbling skin... clearly this person is going through it. Head on over to badmagicmerch.com and grab your beautifully disgusting merch today!
     

    Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: On both Scared To Death and Timesuck, we talk about a lot of death in a variety of ways. And while we as a people have a fascination with murder mystery, at the end of the day, the deceased was someone’s son, wife, grandmother, uncle and so on. When a family looses a loved one in a cold case, the affects of it are painful in ways we can’t understand. The DNA Doe Project is a non profit with a simple humanitarian mission: to identify John and Jane Does using investigative genetic genealogy. We want help give some healing to those who has suffered such significant loss. Our donation amount is TBD right now as we are recording this in the early weeks of April.

    Standup:If you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here and possibly see Lynze in the crowd, his last two dates of the Spring are coming up FAST! Bloomington and Madison, you are up!  Go to dancummins.tv for ticket links to shows!

  • The Monster In The Machine

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan's first story is really intense. It deals with a woman being tormented in a way not quite like what we’ve covered here before. A slightly new method of mental torture. While that first story is an alleged modern encounter, Dan's second story is an old one. It begins in the 17th century. Did the Devil use her to write a strange, mysterious, cryptic letter that was only finally decoded a little over five years ago?  Lynze will share just one tale about a  haunted family heirloom. 
     

    New Merch: We also just dropped a bunch of fun new stickers! We made the werewolf drunk design a holographic sticker. Also have bleeding eyes, the buzz 103 bumper sticker, and tons of new Timesuck designs as well. Check out the sticker bin at  badmagicmerch.com

  • Evil Unearthed

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    For Dan's first story, we go to the little mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado, from 1892. Probably doesn’t sound too terrifying. But, just imagine dealing with the worst kinds of paranormal horror that we’ve talked about here many times in the sense of it happening in recent years, where you can go stay with relatives, or get a priest or shaman, etc., to perform some kind of blessing - but now you have no one to help you and nowhere to go. You’re just stuck - as in, snowed in a homestead cabin kind of stuck - with something evil. Then Dan shares some history and then a smattering of recent paranormal sightings from England’s very historic Colchester  Castle. Lynze will share two similarly themed tales this week about little ghost boys showing up for different people in different places! What does it mean when a little boy shows up? Anything
     

    New Merch:  This one is for all you creeps and peepers who just can't wait for Halloween. The ones who would elect to celebrate year round. The 'Is it Halloween Yet?' tee is now available. Three vintage style halloween masks, kinda look like the old generic plastic ones, in a classic faded black orange and green color scheme.  Available on vintage cream and  creamsicle orange tees. Head on over to badmagicmerch.com and check it out!
     

    Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: This months’ charity is Big Table, as you have heard us talk about already and we are excited to share that we will be donating $13,986 to Big Table with another $1,554 headed to the scholarship fund! To find out more about how to support Big Table or start a new chapter in your city, please visit www.big-table.com

     

    Standup:If you want to see a very different side of Dan than you see here and possibly see Lynze in the crowd, his Burn It All Down standup tour is in full swing! Go to dancummins.tv for ticket links to shows in Bloomington and Madison! This is your last chance to see Dan before he takes a little breather over the summer!

    Dan will be telling the story of Char Man on today's show.  An urban legend coming from California that again will be exploring the intersection of fiction and MAYBE fact. Then he  shares the story of the only legally haunted house in the United States. 1 LaVeta Place Nyack, New York. Sometimes called The Ghostbuster House due to the so-called “Ghost Buster” legal ruling. 
    Lynze has three incredible tales to share with you this week, the middle story being the scariest and sandwiched in between two head scratchers.  UFO's and attachments and ghosts, oh my!

  • Click Clack Slide

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan found the first story I’m telling today on the web - a story I was pointed to by Curtis Rioux, fan, friend, and incredibly talented professional animator. The urban legend of Click… Clack… Slide… I don’t want to spoil what that represents, but I’m guessing that many of our listeners have heard a version of this story - like Curtis - when they were kids. Can a monster be both a manufactured urban legend AND something you could truly encounter. That’s what we play around with in this story. Then, a man who was horrifying in real life continues to haunt people even after his death: John Wayne Gacy. 

    Next, we dip back into true crime and go over a few locations reported to be haunted in the Chicago area, by the ghost of infamous serial killer, John Wayne Gacy.Lynze has two fantastic stories this week! Her first tale will make you think twice about the sounds of footsteps you hear on the stairs. Are they coming from someone or some thing? Then she presents a story with no explanation or resolution. A fan shares their tale of happening upon a room full of blood, but where did it come from? 
     

    New Merch:  Really fun tee this week. The "I'm so tired my eyes are bleeding" tee is available now for those of you who know obscure sayings. Head to badmagicmerch.com

  • A Door That Can't Be Closed

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan's first of two stories is based on around something we haven't really explored  before. Astral projection. If you could train your mind to actually be able to take your consciousness OUT of your body… leave it behind as a sort of empty vessel - could something else enter in its place? After that, off to Hawaii for a little bite-sized bit of horror. Some paranormal encounters alleged to have taken place at the Honolulu Police Department’s training academy. Lot of horror on those little islands it seems. Then Lynze poses a great question about the paranormal and psilocybin. Can you bring back something from a trip? Lastly, a piece of jewelry seems to be the source of some kind of attachment. 

    New Merch:   We heard some of you wanted Hawaiian button up shirts so... we got em!  The first tee is a fun cryptid pattern featuring cute critters from Logan's mind. Looks like there's clam shaped spiders,  bats, vampires, two headed snakes and more! Comes on a really cool Hawaiian style button up collared shirt with a left breast pocket. We also have a really cool Western style cowboy button up, featuring classy flower skulls.  These are hand cut and sewn so please allow a couple extra weeks delivery on these. Head on over to badmagicmerch.com and check these killer button ups out!

  • The Dover Demon

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    The first story this week is brutal. It deals with some real-life heavy topics of child and spousal abuse. A spirit that seems to feed off all of this torment and make it worse seems to be attacking a family. Then the  infamous legend of the Dover Demon.  Cryptid? Alien? Hoax? Did four teenagers really seem some sort of monster in a Massachusetts town just outside of Boston in the Spring of 1977? Then in the back half, Lynze shares a new "thing", a tulpa. She and Dan had never heard of it and the fan submission will make you wonder if the hat man himself is a tulpa. Then, a family tale of encountering some kind of shadowy figure and the remnants of what appears to be some sort of ritual while cleaning a home that is not their own. 
     

    New Merch:  As it turns out, you absolutely CAN Coors Light your way into seeing cryptids and monsters. We're being told by many of you that one can  in fact become... Werewolf Drunk.  Check out the cool new tee at badmagicmerch.com featuring a double exposure design of a howling drunk werewolf and the phrase "Let's Get Werewolf Drunk". 

    Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: Not everyone has access to a bed and pillow and a good nights rest. So this month, we are donating to Sleep In Heavenly peace. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a group of volunteers who build, assemble and deliver beds to families in need. We will be donating $14,014 to Sleep In Heavenly Peace and adding $1,557 to the scholarship fund. They have chapters all across the US so if you want to get involved or can offer up your skills, please visit shpbeds.org to learn more.

Go to dancummins.tv for ticket links to shows in  Cleveland and Columbus. Then you can find Dan working out his new material in the clubs this spring and fall.

  • A Haunting In The Hills

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan's first story takes us to Maine - set in a remote farm somewhere near the 100 mile wilderness area of the Appalachian Trail. Rural isolation adding to the horror for one very unlucky family.  Then, the short story of the the Delhi Purple Sapphire, also known as the Cursed Amethyst - an allegedly haunted object. Lynze tells us three tales. The first two are real head scratcher's and will leave you with questions. The final tale is so creepy- just wait for it! 
     

    New Merch:  Going a little more classic this week. A traditional monogram lockup on premium tees and hoodies available in a few colors. Very earthy vibe. I can see our camping and hiking listeners enjoying this one. Head to badmagicmerch.com

    SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. 

    Dan's first story is set in the little ski town of Crested Butte, Colorado. It's a modern encounter story of a man who claims to have picked up and given a ride to one of the area’s most infamous spirits. And then  to the UK - to the rolling green hills of Gloucestershire , England, to visit the strange and haunted unfinished Woodchester Mansion. Lynze's first story brings to life everyone's fear of something chasing you up the stairs from the basement. To finish the episode, she tells us a spooky tale about something or someone trying to make life uncomfortable at a mental health facility. 
     

    New Merch:  New 'Witching Hour' collection in store now. Fun retro linocut style design featuring 3 witches in pointy red hats dancing around a campfire. Super cool style and layout on this one.

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.
