Scared to Death | The Stanley Hotel

[@pancho8428]

Petition to have them video again😂

[@StevenRyan-d8f]

I was the late night maintenance guy at the Stanley. Not even joking.

[@LochNessGavin05]

Anything scary happen while you were there?

[@trustingpeddler383]

Came for the hongy bongy, stayed for the oofta.

Oofty Goofty ❤️🦾🥇

[@jjjw.978]

YES

[@jeremybrown7879]

You kept saying the name of the hotel in the Shining was the Outlook Hotel. It's the Overlook Hotel.

[@evarussell5261]

Just heard that bit and came to the comments to see if anyone else yelled ' it's overlook! ' lol.

[@1nchr15t7]

We dream of the ball room experience while hating everything required of us to make it happen.

[@Apostate_Alexei]

I'm immediately skeptical whenever I hear someone say "this is 100% true!".

[@notCynicalReally]

On a lighter note of waking up parents as a little kid- My mom was a nurse, so she slept hard. One morning, real early because i had school, i woke up and checked under my pillow only to find my baby tooth was still there. I took my little tooth and went to my mom, asking why the tooth fairy hadn't come. She was half asleep and said groggily that she forgot and would get me some cash later. A beat later she woke up and had to console me that the tooth fairy was not real. 😂

[@LoRo_Moon_Stars]

Who else laughed when Linzee said, "Giant elaborate balls."?😏😅🤣😂

[@miabuz]

My family moved when I was 6 and I had to walk down a long hallway past the entire house to get to my parents room. It was freaking long hallway with windows and the garden made creepy shadows on the walls and ceiling. I would run full speed in socks on linoleum floors and smack into my parent’s locked bedroom door. Must have scared the crap out of them.

[@kathysanchez543]

All these stories would make amazing horror films. Fantastic episode!

[@SmartMoufShirts]

I saw a documentary about the making of The Shining - the Kubrick version. They explained that the story is not at all supernatural or paranormal. The scenes where Jack is losing his mind and doing crazy stuff are all imagine or hallucinated by his wife, who has the actual mental illness. It was a masterful deception by Kubrick. It made Jack the monster, when the real horror wasn't the paranormal stuff his wife was hallucinating, but the murders and abuse of their son that she was actually doing the entire time. The funniest thing I got from the whole documentary was how freaked out I was that I watched the movielike 30 years before, and never realized the hidden movie inside the movie. It was as wild, cool, and interesting as I could have wanted.

[@miabuz]

I watched it again after a tik tok or short said that. I just don’t see it. I read the book, both are great takes on the story. In the book it is 100% the dad going insane and the hotel is definitely paranormal.

[@SmartMoufShirts]

@@miabuz I wish I could tell you what documentary I watched, but I can't remember the title or anything. You'll have to just track it down. It was one guy narrating all the points of the movie that he chose to support his theory. It would be worth your time to find it and watch it. He does a thorough job of proving his point.

[@SmartMoufShirts]

@@miabuz Look up the Wendy theory for the shining. There are several for and against.

[@Chasing.therain]

Dan's mistake of pushing the wrong button before Lynze's second story...cracked me up! Lol we need more of those little bloopers.

[@ryanday4558]

Yes. One take, no edits

[@elonna2186]

I'm so glad we're getting the photos again during the story! I never remember to go to IG for the pics after the episodes ❤

[@antilizzeth]

Let me preface my comment with I 1000% believe in the paranormal but I am going to slightly dispute the last story. Paranoid schizophrenics do possess super human strength when having an episode and I’ll give 2 examples. My grandmother was a paranoid schizophrenic, my grandfather and her owned a roller rink back in the 60’s. Once she got into it with a woman and had her sights set and fighting her, two huge security guards tried to stop her but she just kept trudging forward…in Rollerskates 😂 next she was holding a neighbors daughter “hostage” to coax her father over so she could unalive him (she was convinced he was an alien) of course he called the cops on her. My mom said a swat cop broke in and shouted “got ya” and my grandmother proceeded to reply “no I got you” and lifted this man off the ground and threw him across the room into a wall lmao. She was a petite woman as well. Don’t underestimate those suffering from mental illness 😅

[@BrianCrane-lm7dl]

Thank you for showing the photos really 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Apostate_Alexei]

As a Coloradan, I'm excited about the title! I love the Stanley Hotel! I've yet to actually stay at the hotel, but I was able to attend the Stanley Film Festival there years ago. I met Elijah Wood, saw Itchy-O perform, and saw so many amazing horror movies! So much fun!

[@ryanday4558]

For any new listeners, Dan and Lynze are hilarious. They have got me through many a bad times. Try an episode, and you should be hooked.

[@kennethmullen-qe9hg]

Dan is such a baseball nerd, he was probably like, "I bet I know the stats that entity was spouting!" LmMFaO

[@DelayedPenalty]

The Stanley was also used as the hotel in Aspen in Dumb & Dumber. I got a picture standing outside the hotel on a quick trip to Estes Park, but I was told by security that I wasn't allowed to go in without a reservation.

[@SmartMoufShirts]

We have taken in two of our grand sons, one of which isn't even ours, but he is the "companion kid" for our actual grand son, because boys are not sold separately. We got them 16 months ago, when the youngest one was only 6 He was like the old super balls from the 70s. All you had to do was let him get one good bounce in, and he was off, riccocheting off of everything for hours. He also had a real love of horror. Both boys were exposed to all manner of adult content since they were 3 years old. They're 18 months apart, and inseparable. One of the things they watched was The Shining (the kubrick version), the year before they came to live with us. Now we get the delightful task of deprogramming as much of that crap out of their undeveloped brains as we can. You can't, of course, but we try to innoculate them with "mental antibodies" of better things to think about. It's slowly working. But one of the things that stuck was the little kid from the movie popping up in the parents' room, with a finger, and saying "REDRUM..." in that rough, ominous creepy kid voice. So, the first few nights we had them here, the youngest one would get out of his bed and stand beside MY side of the bed, and wait for me to sense him. When I opened my eyes, he croaked, "redrum..." repeatedly, with the finger in the air, like a little puppet. Well, I got out of bed, woke up my wife, stripped the sheets off the bed, and changed my clothes after a shower. Then we "treated the kid's cough" with Benadryl, and put him to bed. I, however, did not go back to bed. I've been up ever since. Nothing is creepier than a little kid.

[@gregoryhannaway3736]

Also your story about the Stanley hotel was better than our ghost tour!

[@Chasing.therain]

Dracula is who came to mind with the socks too!

[@Gibby8097]

My girls are the exact opposite. I swear anytime they come in my room they kick the door open or just barrel into it. There's nothing quiet about them. I hear them coming down the hall

[@gregbutler1557]

Yo DC your nightmare fuel stories are off the chain. 1-18 fire fam 🔥 keep up the awesome stories big fan scared to death and time sucked as well. I appreciate what yall doing love yall to death. Ty for keeping me stable. If u ever het the chance to come to Bakersfield cali i will come see yur show fr.

[@daiziemartinez4474]

It was wonderful to see you folks at Scarywood this past Saturday; Lynze's just as gorgeous and kind in person (for anyone wondering). Dan is always rad. 🤘🥰

[@empowers1895]

Bath salts, meth, pcp...or mixing any of those could result in some extreme behaviors.

[@Unintentionalbandit]

White ball of light? Sounds like a foo fighter.

[@SmartMoufShirts]

Maybe Flora Stanley had a sister named Fauna. Maybe Fauna married a Greek man, named Dion. Maybe the had two kids, a boy and a girl, named Testacles and Filopia. Or, maybe that's all really dumb, and I'm the only one who thinks I'm funny.

[@joebonnett2925]

Are we just going to glaze over the lady in the staircase photo looking terrified as hell? 👀 It looks like she might have seen a ghost! Maybe it's outside the door looking at her 😅.

[@bristlecone77]

The Stanley Hotel is a little over an hour's drive from my house. It has a very creepy vibe but the only thing unexplained that happened to me there is when we went to dinner and the water glass exploded in the waitress's hands just before she set it in front of me. I don't know that it was supernatural or whether it was due to a flaw in the glass or the glass having just come out of the dishwasher and having ice water in it broke it. It was just weird is all.

[@tyrarodricks866]

Wtf bro ... awesome

[@Irisbray44]

I have DID or Multiple/Split Personality Disorder or whatever you want to call it. I'm about the same size as the girl in the story. There is no way in hell that even my strongest, most violent alter could throw someone three times my size. Not to mention, they don't know anything I don't know. Unless she's a baseball fan or studied Latin, I don't know where that shit's coming from other than Hell.😂

[@1nchr15t7]

I just ran in the bedroom and squeezed in between my parents lol, and my kids have done the same.

[@simongill4437]

Hey, D n L Cummins, found u this year, don't really read comments but wanted to know why it changed to audio only, noticed quite a few negative comments about Lindsey n wanted to say that she is a nutjob hyper mamabear but I think she is the perfect neurotic to Dan's norm. Love her or hate her she makes the show special. Shame we gone to audio only but maybe add pictures for reference?

[@GodessOfGeass2]

Why'd they stop filming? I'm checking in after a while and I miss the visuals.

[@en5038]

afaik their main editor isnt working in-house anymore (and now several states away) so in order to make it so the content is released on the same schedule its more time-efficient and cost-effective to not record themselves :3

The "threads in the glass" is chicken wire

[@1nchr15t7]

Then I got to where I would sleep at the foot of their bed. My kids though they slept with us most their childhood but now they want to be left alone and my kids are scared of nothing.

[@JaclkMurphy]

It is Christopher Walken on the socks.

[@summersack3560]

Lmaoo a rich white person. Cause all of us indigenous people, blacks, hispanic and china people had it so rough back then! Haha that made me laugh. Honestly tho i wish i were a rich white person back then too only for the elegance of it all!! Oh and the clothes! The way people dressed back then amazes me, also makes me jealous

[@wallingfordd]

Of course it's Stephen King that goes away for a couples trip & ends up in a situation like that & has nightmares

[@Jordys_Cursed_Camera]

I think she was possessed and a psych ward was the wrong decision.

[@trevinoc7795]

Genuinely how do you believe in demons but not God?

[@mslebeau78]

Stanley has been done? Dropped video, upped prices for things? Pay to see you at a theme park? Idk, maybe cutting back on what made him happy doesn't work. Common denominator.. even in conversation about the kids..sure wasn't him. 🤷‍♀️

[@kaitmuensterman4714]

For the past few months, Dan's stories have felt more like a history lesson than a scary story. I get that he wants to include details but it loses me about 10 times throughout 🥱 I just want to be scared! Lol
