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.

  • Nightmare Fuel #27: Moloch's Pact Part Two: Satanic Panic
    Mar 7 2025

    In this twenty-seventh installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins.... we return to 1988 once more, and to the town of Deacon's Point, to find out if local high school student Chance Watkins and homicide detective Rob Shoemaker are able to stop a satanic cult from killing more teen girls and bringing a powerful demon into the world that could possibly kill millions.

    This episode was scored by Logan Keith. We recommend listening with headphones to experience the full effect of all the creepy background noises! If you like this episode, please let us know wherever you rate and review podcasts. Thanks so much!

  • The Nurse's Office
    Mar 5 2025

    Dan's first of two stories is centered around a school nurse who claims her encounter literally ended her career. It’s very intense, and not fun to think that what she claims to have witnessed could be real. For his second story, Dan will share the haunted lore of South Carolina’s Oakwood Cemetery, and an encounter that took place there. Lynze gives us two spoopy tales and one heart-warming story of confirmation. Her first story takes out to the woods where a bunch of kids party with the unknown. Then, someone is joined in bed by a not-so-comforting visitor. And finally, a beautiful story of a mom speaking to her son from the great beyond.

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."
