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 House On Ithaca Street

Episode 261

mercredi 4 septembre 2024Duration 01:27:06

Dan's  first story  revolves around a Realtor trying and failing to sell a property that seems to clearly have something supernaturally wrong with it.  Then is off to Eastern Canada, between Montreal and Toronto. Two young men head out to go camping and see more than they bargained for. One of them swears off camping forever as a result! Lynze crushes this week with two tales! Her first is a classic haunted New Orleans hotel story. What could be more spoopy that that? Then, a ouija board tale like none we have ever told. It will stick with you and make you wonder just how powerful those boards might actually be.

It's Time to Wake Up

Episode 260

mercredi 28 août 2024Duration 01:17:31

Dan starts with an alleged anonymous modern encounter involving a man hearing a girl’s voice as a child - a voice asking him to wake up, and a voice that keeps asking this for many, many years - well into adulthood. And then finally, something very strange happens that leaves him feeling certain that this voice did not just belong. Then, a tale that is about the mysterious and troubling disappearance of a young man who disappeared in the Idaho wilderness, not far from where Dan grew up, back in 2018.  Lynze takes us back to our childhoods with a creepy game of hide and seek. Then she wraps up this episode with an unexplainable story from an EMT. 

Patreon Monthly Donation: This month, we are donating to the Army of Survivors who’s mission is to bring awareness, accountability, and transparency to sexual violence against athletes at all levels. Accountability for perpetrators and the institutions that enable them; Transparency so athletes do not fear retaliation when reporting abuse, and institutions do not cover it up.  Nearly 6 million children and young adults in the United States are survivors of sexual violence through their participation in sports. This translates to nearly 13% of all student-athletes — and likely many more than that — as we know this crime is consistently underreported. The culture of sports today often makes athletes feel like they have to say yes to whatever they are asked to do because otherwise their career, their love of their sport, or their identity within that sport, could be threatened. We empower athletes with compassion, strength, and courage to embrace the fundamental truth that they have a right to safety. 

We will donate 13,760 to The Army of Survivors. We will put 1,530 into the scholarship fund for next year. If you would like more info you can visit thearmyofsurvivors.org

The Howling Village

Episode 175

mercredi 11 janvier 2023Duration 01:11:53

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

The first story Dan will be sharing takes us to the Fukuoka Prefecture of Japan  to explore lore around the urban legend of the Howling Village. And then we’ll explore the legend of the Basano vase! Did these supposedly cursed object bring death to one owner after another for two separate cycles of tragedy separated by centuries? Is it made up? Or does it lie underground again, waiting for a new owner to find it, and to start another cycle of terror? Lynze has two awesome stories this week, per usual! Her first tale explores an experience  amongst friends and an Ouija board. While we never truly know what we might be talking to on the other side this one feels like a very authentic encounter with a lost loved one. Or is it? Wrapping up the show is a haunted house, more specifically a basement, tale. Is a 6th sense something that can be passed from one generation to the next? Let's explore! 

New Merch:  Incredible valentine's card set featuring some amazing spoopy illustrations. Each set contains 18 foldable valentines cards featuring 6 unique illustrations. You'll get Lil Lynze Demon, Lil Dan Demon and more! Each set also comes with a sticker sheet so you can close your valentine just like we did in grade school! If you don't want these in Valentine form, or you do but also want some collectable art, we do have these also available as mini canvases! These 5X7 framed minis are perfect for a cool display at home or in the office.  Head on over to badmagicmerch.com and checkout the Valentine collection.

A Mother's Love

Episode 174

mercredi 4 janvier 2023Duration 01:25:50

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

Dan's first story is set in Portland, Oregon, centered around Portland’s underground “shanghai tunnels.” There are miles of tunnels underneath Portland that connect it to the Willamette River - once used to transport goods in and out of the city and to ocean going ships. These tunnels also, SUPPOSEDLY, were used for human trafficking. Sailors getting “Shanghai’d” - kidnapped and forced to work at sea. Women getting forced into prostitution and shipped around the world. Some think this stuff never actually happened in Portland, others think it was frequent. Let's see what is out there. Then for Dan's second tale, the Cherokee legend of The Raven Mocker - a strange, evil spirit and the most feared of the Cherokee witches.  Lynze has two stories for you this week! First off, a tale that is sad but also heartwarming. A mother may have made a call from the great beyond to save the life of her child. Then a shared haunting, a screaming nun and a dorm room that just doesn't feel quite right.

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

Wrapping up 2022! Thanks for being with us all year long, we look forward to so many wild, cool and interesting tales in 2023! Dan kicks off with a tale out of Chicago, about St. Rita's parish and very strange and terrifying encounter the entire congregation has on one All Saints Day. Then we go down south to Abbeyville, AL for the legend of Huggin Molly. Such fun tale of local lore. Lynze finishes 2022 with a story about one woman's life long attachment, an attachment that she and her sister seem to share, that might come from their childhood home. Lastly, a classic sleep paralysis story- or not?!

The Monkey's Paw

Episode 172

mercredi 21 décembre 2022Duration 01:16:13

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

Dan is  bringing back our annual Holiday Horror tradition.  For Victorian England, December was the spooky spooky season - not October - and this is where our Western tradition of telling ghost stories to scare one another comes from. Friends and family gathered around the fire after a nice holiday meal to hear some horror. And in honor of that tradition, for the fourth year in a row,  Dan shares the tale, The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs.  But first up, some horror from modern England.  A married couple bring their young son on a vacation to the countryside, where he finds some occult objects stashed away that lead to a terrifying evening and an early end to the vacation.  Lynze kicks off with a kind of sweet, kind of Christmas story. Then she tells us three quick hitter stories, all from the same person and all from the same frat house!

The Key Of Solomon

Episode 171

mercredi 14 décembre 2022Duration 01:15:30

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

Dan has a story about a couple teens who grab hold of an old book of occult summoning spells to start the show. They seemed to have opened a door that should’ve stayed closed. Then he shares with us  another story featuring some true crime basis. Convicted killer, Gary Mark Gilmore, was sent  to death row for a murder he never even tried to hid. Could it be because his mother brought something dark into her life, and then into her family’s life, before he was ever born? Lynze has her usual two tales. She begins with a life long attachment tale and then wraps out the show with a possessed teddy bear tale!

The Chop Chop House

Episode 169

mercredi 30 novembre 2022Duration 01:09:03

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

Dan has a bigger story set in Boise, Idaho.  Boise’s Murder House aka the Chop Chop house. This is a somewhat recent true crime story that  leads to numerous reported paranormal encounters. Very creepy story. Then,  a bit of tragic lore revolving around rural Colorado’s Third Bridge aka Ghost Bridge - and some reports of modern encounters there as well. Lynze switches it up this week with one, big, fat juicy tale. A woman is plagued by visits from the hat man. Her dad was potentially cursed long before she was born. Is there a connection?

New Merch:  Releasing in the bad magic store this week are deluxe jumbo bookmarks! These things are super nice, thick and velvety. Each set comes with 6 different bookmarks, designed to resemble the pages of an ancient witch's text. A perfect stocking stuffer for the holidays! Also now in store, new merch from Casko! I forgot about that random scenario I made up a few weeks ago - a Costco type store that sold caskets and also had random people handing out free snacks. Grab your Casko tee or hoodie to show your support for the world's leading wholesale casket manufacturer. Head on over to badmagicmerch.com and check em out!
