Love the regular show and especially the “Nightmare Fuels”’-
So funny, entertaining and thorough. Dan Cummins is so greats at this. Everything he does is 🤌🏻
Seriously tho the nightmare fuels get better and better. Which I could give individual reviews for these stories.
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!
But after counting 9 Ads (7 being *really* depressing local service Ads from NSW alone) plus the Shoutouts, which I’ve always struggled with a bit, means this platform is no longer the place for longterm listeners to be. After years of using STD stories as a form of relaxation, I moved away from dark habits & went back to Mass after all the creepy Hollywood & Epstein stuff. But I think we need to support STD at Spotify now or (sorry Dan!), back on YouTube again just because so many people are sw... more
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.
Through the podcast lights out I heard you and your description of the podcast you host with your wife sounded right up my alley. I’m still at the very beginning and I love it. Thanks for the fun spin on creepy.

Paranormal storytelling with a humorous, down-to-earth duo who blend traditional hauntings with listener submissions.
