What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Started listening about 6 months ago sporadically and when I heard nightmare fuel, I thought it was a completely different podcast that I stumbled upon, which I suppose in a way it is. But my brain didn’t realize it was attached to Scared to Death and so my simple mind was so confused by this until I heard another nightmare fuel while binging StD. Love the show, love the voice (both of you) and the story telling is chefs kiss. Yelling it from the roof tops!

NiColie-O · Sep 2026

I love all of Scared To Death but Nightmare Fuel episodes are the absolute best. I look forward to Fridays, hoping a new one will come out. Dan Cummins is an incredibly talented writer.

Jesse1080 · Sep 2026

Dan is consistently outdoing himself, and this new project is no exception. Not only are the stories wonderfully written, the characters come to life with the different voices and accents. Some of the characters are so well written that I actually get attached to them! 10/5 stars wouldn’t change a thing

DiamondJ79 · Aug 2026

I have had you guys on my podcast list for a while (I think you guys were guests on the Bigfoot collectors club podcast) and finally got around to listening to the podcast with the Voynich and Black Forest episodes before jumping to the very beginning. You guys are great and have great chemistry and fun to listen to you guys trying to scare each other! I’ve recommended the podcast to friends.

Soapstone82 · Jun 2026

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.
