Scared To Death

We’ll head to South Korea and into the decaying halls of one of the nation’s most infamous allegedly haunted locations, where four university students will discover that some urban legends may have a little more truth behind them than they’d like. What begins with the strange sound of something bouncing on an empty floor above them will end with the students trapped between two horrors. Then, we’ll travel to Japan, where in 1974 a young farmer claimed that a knock on his door at three o’clock in the morning led to an absolutely terrifying supernatural encounter involving several extraterrestrials and their spacecraft. Next up, we are back in the US and in Gettysburg where a group of strangers share a very real paranormal experience all caught on tape! Lastly, a young child hears a voice throughout their life. After loosing someone they love, the voice comes back. Who was it? And how did this happen?

WHAT: THE 8TH ANNUAL BAD MAGIC GIVING TREE!
WHEN: GIFT CARD DONATIONS- MONDAY, OCTOBER 5TH thru MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16th
ASSISTANCE: SUBMIT YOUR NAME VIA EMAIL BETWEEN OCTOBER 5TH AND OCTOBER 15TH. RECIPIENTS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF SUPPORT ON OCTOBER 24TH.
WHERE: Email givingtree2026@badmagicproductions.com
WHO: 35 FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE SUPPORT THIS YEAR
For eight years now, we have been hosting the Bad Magic Giving Tree. This is a project so near and dear to my heart. I have been on both sides of a holiday giving tree. I personally appreciate what it meant to my family and I the year our gifts came from a community resource. Now as someone facilitating the giving, I am reminded of what an honor and privilege it is to give back.
This years process will mimic last years. Here is how it will all work: Everyone who would like their children to be considered needs to email ONLY YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME to givingtree2026@badmagicproductions.com . NOTHING MORE. ONE submission per family, PLEASE. Duplicates will be deleted.
We will enter all of the names into a random generator, aka put all the names in a hat, and allow the names to be chosen at random. Everyone will receive an email, regardless of their outcome. Submit your name between October 5th and October 15th. No names will be accepted after October 15th. By October 24th, everyone will be notified. Those whose names were picked from the hat will be given next steps.
As in years past, we will be applying the December monthly donation to this amazing giving tree and will be giving this money right back to our community. We continue to ask and encourage our community to donate Amazon gift cards to the cause. For ease, all of the shopping happens this way. For every extra dollar donated to the cause, Dan and I will match it, up to $13K. If you have $5 or $10 bucks or more that you’d be willing to donate, I assure you, it adds up! Alone we can do so little but together we are deeply powerful. Last year, the fans sent an additional $14K! If you are able to help, please go to amazon.com to purchase a digital gift card. When prompted for a recipient email, please enter givingtree2026@badmagicproductions.com

In this sixty-sixth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we return to Delaware Street, where a strange clicking sound coming through the wall of a downtown duplex has led several tenants to discover that the young woman living next door is hiding something far more horrifying than anyone could imagine. But the true nightmare may be her landlord, Bernie, whose desperate attempt to save someone he loves has left a growing trail of victims behind.

We head to Puerto Rico this week with Dan! For centuries, soldiers stationed at one isolated watch post in old San Juan were said to vanish without a trace, leaving behind only rumors of something evil lurking in the dark. And when a modern worker begins hearing an old military call echoing through the fortress after sunset, the legend of the Devil’s Sentry Box suddenly feels far less ancient. Then, we head to Pennsylvania, where in 2002, a husband and father disappeared near his home, only to be found dead after a massive search with no obvious explanation for what had happened. Then came reports that, at nearly the exact time he vanished, something strange was seen hovering over the ridge where he had last gone. Lynze's first tale feels like its right out of a horror movie from Rob Zombie. Two PO's go on a house visit and get a whole lot more of an adventure than they bargained for. Then, we go to Colombia for a medical work zoom. How would you react to seeing someone who should not be there, while taking a work call?
We are donating $13,150 to Big Table. Within in that donation is $2477 which came directly from tips at camp being rerouted to Big Table! We are putting $1,180 into the scholarship fund for 2027! If you’d like to learn more about what Big Table does to support those in the service industry, you can visit bigtable.org

"Whether thou art a ghost that hath come from the earth, or a phantom of night that hath no home… or one that lieth dead in the desert… or a ghost unburied… or a demon or a ghoul… Whatever thou be until thou art removed… thou shalt find here no water to drink… Thou shalt not stretch forth thy hand to our own… Into our house enter thou not. 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."

We begin this week at The Northern Crown: An extravagant Russian hotel that never welcomed a single guest, accumulated decades of deaths, rumors, and claims of a towering shadow figure lurking inside—and one worker says he discovered just how dangerous that presence was shortly before the building was finally demolished. Then... holy cow is this is a weird one. The story of Alyoshenka. When an elderly Russian woman claimed she'd brought home a tiny, bizarre humanoid she found crying in the woods, no one believed her—until other witnesses saw it too, police recovered its mummified body, and an increasingly bizarre mystery began to unfold. We travel back to the US where we visit Cincinnati's Music Hall for a series of creepy events. Wrapping up this weeks show, a young child makes an offering to something that keeps visiting her.

Also! Exciting news! We were lucky enough to voice a carnival couple, Hank and his wife, for the episode, “Clown Heads” By Em Starr on THE NO SLEEP PODCAST! Do yourselves a favor and go check it out! Tell us how we did! Be sure to leave David and his team a 5 star review where you consume this media. We hope you enjoy this special collaboration as much we loved doing it!

In this sixty-fifth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we visit units 1214 and 1216 East Delaware street, a duplex in a not-so-great part of town in some city in the southern American midwest. Something is really not right with one of the tenants. And the property manager, Bernie, curiously seems to know a lot more about what's going on than he should.
