About this episode
SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING. Dan kicks off with the story of a young woman around a century ago in a mining town who reaches out to the other side to try and communicate with her dead father and brother. And she contacts SOMETHING. Then, a latchkey kid encounters a special kind of terror that makes spending time alone at home even harder than it already is for a young child. Lynze has two awesome stories this week. The first could be considered a reminder about being wary of what you buy second hand. Then the second story is a bit less creepy but still a great story about an abandoned brothel. New Merch : Hitting the Bad Magic store is the SEVERED collection featuring gory prosthetics! Hyper realistic, bloody severed human parts in magnet and keychain form. Special shoutout to the beautiful custom work by visual effects artist and fan of the show - the badass Tony Campanga at Spellbound FX.

Head to badmagicmerch.com Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation : This month’s charity will be Sustainable Alamance, a non profit based in North Carolina. The mission of Sustainable Alamance is to focus on and help individuals who were formerly incarcerated gain and sustain employment so that they may not only live within the community constructs but to also contribute to society as well. Sustainable Alamance has this quote on their website and I just love it: Poverty is not a lack of money but a lack of resources. We believe that you can “give a man fish” (charity) and even “teach a man to fish” (grace and mercy) but we must also ensure access to the lake (hope and justice). If you’d like to learn more about Sustainable Alamance, you can visit sustainablealamance.org. $1,546 will be put into the scholarship fund and $13,915 to be donated to Sustainable Alamance.

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."
