Scared To Death

By: Dan Cummins Lynze Cummins
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • What's Your Emergency?
    Nov 20 2024

    Dan's first story is weird. We had a hard time tracking it and understanding it so if you have trouble too - don’t worry. We’ll talk afterwards and clear up any confusion. Then, we’ll visit what sure seems to be a powerfully and malevolently haunted former seminary room in Maynooth in County Kildare, Ireland. A haunting that reads like the basis for a really good horror movie. Then, Lynze shares an interesting haunted apartment story where a family lives in two separate apartments in the same building that both seem to be plagued by the same "something". What is it? Where does it stem from? Then, lastly, a creepy mimmic tale. Or is it? This weeks entire show is really weird and does not offer a ton of solutions, making it that much scarier.

No other podcast compares

Literally the best podcast out there. I’ve listened to every episode and wait for the next one to come out every week. Dan is a master storyteller can’t tell me different and Lindsay’s stories are always really good. This is the podcast I always recommend.

Hubby and wifey goals!

These two get to work together and do this for a living. How amazing! Dan is always funny, and Lindsay seems to reflect his sense of humor pretty well! The stories are so easy to get caught up in, and you’ll find yourself jumping.. I do anyway!
The storytelling done by Dan is laid out so well by the way! I know Lindsay doesn’t get that option..maybe because she does fan stories.. but her stories tend to be creepier than dans! Fantastically sweet balance y’all!

Creeper for sure!

Absolutely love this podcast! Dan and Linzey manage to be both funny and scary at the same time. The stories they are able to find are very scary and unique. I am 100% a creeper. I love all creepy things and I love that Dan is able to find stories scary enough to give even me goosebumps!

true spooky tales

Dan and Lynze narrate some great, supposedly true horror stories. I especially enjoy the fan stories, which can't be found anywhere else! There's definitely a believe- ability to these. A lot of podcasts have very fake sounding horror stories, but these are more crisp and realistic to me. I love their open minded point of view on the supernatural. It could all be fake, but it only takes *one* true story...
