True Crime · Dan Cummins, Lynze Cummins
by Dan Cummins, Lynze Cummins
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.

I stumbled on this podcast not too long ago, and it’s quickly become one of my favorites! The hosts have great energy together (obviously lol), and Dan is a great story teller. I’ve loved all the stories, but my absolute favorites are the “Nightmare Fuel” episodes, I become completely immersed in the story and can definitely envision what is being described. Awesome show!
Five stars aren’t enough 7 out of 10 Dan has a comedic connection with fear and is a perfect ying to Lynze with her total fear response yang. listening to the podcast (and the other bad magic shows) has become a tradition i’ve even passed to my fiancé. Each week new and engaging stories are told and Dan And Lynze hit each episode running, well enough that even when i know there absolutely isn’t anything there I still have to have my fiancé walk me to bed Love the show love them and you will too, so give them a chance to make you scared to death.
The insanity continues! Don’t know what it is about Nightmare Fuel, but the anxiety that Dan is able to create is amazing. You could cut the tension in this episode with a knife.
I absolutely love STD! and the new Nightmare Fuel originals! I’ve listened to the back catalog, twice… and look forward to the new episode(s) each week!! I’m also from Ohio, so I love listening to Lynze’s references and stories, as I grew up not far from where she calls home! 3 out of 5 stars, please don’t change a thing!! And, keep ‘em comin’… especially the sequel, multi episodes of Nightmare Fuel!!! ❤️
The stories are ok but don’t let the length of the podcasts fool you. A large chunk is talking, banter and blabbering between the hosts. Another potentially great podcast ruined by too much filler. 👎 unsubscribed. Still on the hunt for a great story telling podcast.
