Why You NEED To Watch Nightmare Time

[@katieroberts7012]

- When Wilbur says Miss Holloway won about half the time, the implication is that Black Friday occurs in a timeline where she lost! - Lauren plays Hannah because Kendall wanted to focus on her studies. She's currently in college (I believe she started when she was 16, which is impressive)

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Oh yeah, I'm fairly sure in Black Friday, Wiggly and the Black and White were victorious

[@AlexGoldhill]

It's also implied that Ethan was one of the kids that Miss H helped.

[@Horror.Musical-Logic]

DAMNNNNN GO KENDALL! That’s fucking awesome!

[@QuikVidGuy]

I forgot it's been like 4 years since black friday, and she was only 12 or 13 then. Good choice to make an early move and then go back to education instead of getting stuck in that Child Actor hole of "kind of school, but not really"

[@brotherkhrayn3525]

Hopefully she’ll come back for some cameos or something once she’s got her degree!

[@trashraccoon2635]

i have heard a theory that jane's originally a nice person but being touched by the lords in black/black and white or simply being revived and stuck in a car made her a lot more bitter. which honestly i could see happening. my fave nightmare time episode is yellow jacket, mostly because i really love lex so much. seeing her as an overtired sister in yellow jacket and then watching nerdy prude must die was fun.

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Angela did such a brilliant job with both Lex and Grace, two very different characters done to perfection

[@eulaliko3457]

I remember them talking about this in one of their livestreams, I feel like that’s definitely the case, of Jane being a good person corrupted by the black book

[@BlinkyBopsB137]

I think my favorite is still watcher world, I know they were still figuring things out but idk, I just like it.

[@bee458]

Yeah and at one point Tom even says that Jane's in the car but she's different than she was before

[@alexjewett7455]

I think Tom even said she wasn't acting like herself while he tried to explain things to Becky.

[@DK-go6nw]

It’s actually really important to watch season 2 because if it gets enough views they’ll make a 3rd season! Plus it’s better as a whole imo. The planned episode synopses and the 4th musical plot were both revealed in the Hatchetfield Halloween Party following Nerdy Prudes Must Die!

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

If a significant amount of more people end up watching Nightmare Time as a result of this video, that would honestly be incredible

[@promorhell]

can i please have more infomation about the plot of the next musical ?!?!

[@DK-go6nw]

@@promorhell oh yeah! Not much is known but it should be covering Miss Holloway’s backstory, which I think is super interesting because it will probably be set in the past(and also Miss Holloway is one of my favorite characters)

I had been watching nightmare time after watching NPMD. Now I do regret not watching nightmare time while it was actually going on during the lockdown. I think I started to watch the first one but it didn’t pick my interest as much at that time. I just finished watching the full thing. Sadly I couldn’t binge it like I wanted to bc school kept me busy. It’s so good. The stories kept getting better and better

[@ApequH]

I love that they made the awefull people (Linda and Gerald) have a pretty good marrage

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Gerald is so supportive of his wife and is the best damn father an child could ask for even though most of them aren't biologically his

[@maem7462]

Right and they also made Linda a kinda good mom in a way

[@alexgerard5228]

THERES A BONUS EPISODE OF NIGHTMARE TIME! It’s called Hey, Melissa! They did a script reading of it during a live stream, for NPMD and it’s available on KZbin!

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

I might make a short/small video about it if I get the chance just so I can round off the Hatchetfield/Nightmare Time series as a whole until something new comes out

Gods I miss Sideways. Creation deserves to be created for the joy of it not repackaged and resold sometime else’s own unique idea. Sideways really had that critical thinking I miss.

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

I just hope he comes back at some point

[@QuikVidGuy]

@@Undeniably_Idiotic He left because after he spent years trying to say that the idea of "key centers are like languages" was his idea and his alone, and that everyone else was plagiarizing him, people kept telling him he was objectively incorrect. But he'd been convinced by his partner that he was 100% in the right and should triple down and reject anyone who said otherwise. This combined with people legitimately harassing him for things like not liking the 2012 Les Miserables movie stressed him out beyond what he could bear. I love his work, I admire his skill. I hope he comes back, but he needed a long break to heal after falling down those rabbit holes. I don't blame him if he doesn't re-open his youtube. I just hope he's ok. For the record, just so I don't come off as callous, the exact analogy of "Spanish to Portuguese or English to Mandarin" was something I'd been hearing in music classes and on youtube for years before he even had a channel. He legitimately had an anxiety break from a variety of sources and just needed people to support him and reassure him, but not tell him that his misconceptions were right and the naysayers are evil. If he had better support, he might have been able to deal with the audience response to his opinions. But he was stuck solid on the idea that he was being robbed.

If Daddy made you uncomfortable, wait until you see Hey Melissa 💀 (a cut episode which was read in one of the Starkid Returns livestreams. I was there and it was torture.)

[@itwasidio1736]

First, you think it's just a trilogy, then you dig into their COVID-19 video catalogue and end up staying all night, searching for lore.

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

I feared of getting oversaturated in Hatchetfield content, similar to Marvel and Star Wars, but I do not regret seeing how Starkid can create such in depth and wild stories in the format that they have, looking forward to see how they translate this to a short film format such as with working boys

[@BestgirlJordanfish]

Yellow Jacket is hands down my favorite and god it broke and wowed me. However, close second to me is Honey Queen because like wow what a delight

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Yellow Jacket is the latest and most well crafted of the Nightmare Time episodes, it really leans more into the video editing side of things to do a lot more visual stroytelling than the others

[@sspence3195]

I never realized the Axe Man bridge had the same motif as the NPMD theme, that is so cool!

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

The piano hits me in the feels for some reason so when I wondered why Axe man was making me feel sad I realised because it had the same piano as when Richie belts out I'M NOT A LOSER

[@coyotix]

I love watching videos about why I should watch media I've already consumed countless times

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

The magic of KZbin! It's like experiencing it for the first time all over again

[@AbbyMaskell]

Watching NMT live as it came out is a very different experience to rewatching. I watched each episode live or shortly after and the format of the early episodes didn't bother me at all (probably because everything was in that format back in 2020), in fact I loved being able to see the reaction of those who weren't in particular scenes. But now I do find it difficult to rewatch those episodes after having grown accustomed to the better quality season two.

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

While I agree it was great to see the reactions of the cast and gave it a more laid back feeling especially during the first livestream, it kills the re-watch factor when you have to squint to see the actor's performances and I'm very happy that all cast members made an effort to upgrade their cameras and mics where they were able to

[@Devlerbat]

Killer Track doesn't just take place on any Honey Festival, it takes place on the very same Honey Festival as Honey Queen. In Killer Track Zoe's "friend" is seen getting the tea that she gives to Zoe. It turns out the reason it doesn't help is because said "friend" actually hates Zoe and specifically asks for something that would make Zoe's throat worse.

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Seeing Nightmare Time 2 loop around and tie into each other is an absolute delight to watch especially with Daddy and Killer Track, it is so subtle and blink and you'll miss it but it is also so fun to find each little easter egg and reference throughout!

[@bede42069]

the killer track is my fav story by far but honey queen is a close second

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

It's hard for me to pick a favourite out of Nightmare Time 2 but Time Bastard is definitely my favourite from Nightmare Time 1

[@JaneAshleyAndrews]

Nick’s storytelling skills are so underrated it’s really good because of course his writing is amazing and its gets you invested to the story so well !

I recently watched yellow jacket and it was awesome!! Great story, loved the Otho mask, Joey is great as Ethan and I always love Angela as Lex

I honestly preferred Angela as Lex in Yellow Jacket more than in Black Friday, probably because in Yellow Jacket Lex, Ethan and Hannah actually get to interact with each other

[@alexhead2645]

It was revealed in the talkback after the digital ticket version that that’s just a straight up puppet/doll. No one’s wearing that mask

[@TiaMat99]

Can I ask you to make a quick review of the VHS Christmas Carols? The new (1.5 hour!!) musical is ONLY on a digital ticket and ONLY for the month of december. The old VHS CC is expanded by two new stories, with the old story slightly adapted in act 2. It's completely sung through, and it's SO GOOD. I'd hate for people to miss out on it this close to Christmas! The digital ticket is only a rental but it's completely worth the $15, as the music is so damn good, the choreo is some of Starkid's best, the stories are heartwrenching and heartwarming, the acting is top notch, the video and audio quality is superb (it's a proper pro-shot, multiple cameras etc). Starkid said they currently have no plans to release it on youtube so if people want to see it, they need to get on it!

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

I've seen the VHS Christmas Carol but not the new one with the match girl and the other stories

[@frozenlemon]

The order I watched them in were -ape man -watcher world -abstinence camp (skipped perkys buds) -Jane’s a car -witch in the web -honey queen -perkys buds -daddy -killer track -yellow jacket

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

interesting choices, what I'm also interested in is what order did you watch the stage musicals in relation to that? I watched all three stage musicals before watching Nightmare Time which influenced my watch order

Can't wait to hear your thoughts about hey melissa

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

I feel scared now that I'm going to watch it after what people have mentioned

[@pensive7676]

my personal favourite nightmare time is abstinence camp because i feel like it has that quintessential hatchetfield slasher vibe- honourable mention to honey queen and the killer track because those also just do it for me :]

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

out of all the short stories, abstinence camp is the best since it is almost entirely made up of new characters that would continue on to be used in NPMD rather than the other way around where the other episodes were making use of pre established characters

[@VanshikaGulati]

Watching Nerdy Prudes after Nightmare Time is an absolutely amazing experience. Tinky has the Bastard's box in his hand during the Summoning song. We know The Black Book from several stories. We know Grace Chastity better. We know the cameo characters during Hatchet Town. You know the mayor and his daughter. You're already shipping Steph and Peter from the camp episode. You know the teletubby editions of all Lords. So seeing their human forms is so cool. I watched Nightmare Time chronologically before Nerdy Prudes. Definitely recommend.

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Was very fun watching Nerdy Prudes Must Die after watching Nightmare Time, but also vice versa, which is the magic of the Hatchetfield universe, each instalment enhances the previous and subsequent shows... except Hey, Melissa... that one makes other shows worse after having watched it

I saw this video- then stopped to binge watch nightmate time, then came back. Turns out, I watched it out of order. I watched s2 before s1 and was so confused thinking "Are these episodes short? am I watching them wrong?" So I just finished s1 nightmare time and realised I should've watched them first as it felt lacklustre but realise the mini stories both the stories and lords in black mentions were mini debuts for the characters, the nightmare times reveal a character then they reapear and have more in depth story telling, like grace chastiy being mentioned, to being a character to then being the antagonist in Nerdy prudes. Even so this series now has me in a chokehold. Edit: Also the whole nightmare time is based on nostolgia taking childhood stories and giving the creepy twists or lots of references, like addams family, the ring, heathers etc. And I cannot believe the BILL and TED reference esp with the time travelling episode ugh Starkids amazing.

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Seeing people binge watch the whole series and then come back to this video is truly a sight to behold, but very much a welcome one, also very interesting to see people's recommended watch order for the nightmare time series also!

[@starcatcher9405]

Don't really understand the argument about starting with Honey Queen so you'll get all the Lords in Black introduced before going into the Witchwood lore in nt2ep2. Because if you start in the release order, you'll still get all the LiB, it's just that Nibbly will be the last instead of first? I still agree it's a good episode to start with because it makes a better impression with the production quality and all (plus it's probably my favorite episode)

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

The scene from the Witch in the Web where all the LiB and their plushies are presented is what I'm referring to, having been introduced to all LiB first hand before seeing them all in a lineup is what worked best for my viewing experience anyways

[@ryomahoshi643]

Gonna just put this here: Nick and Matt confirmed that NMT3 will happen if NMT2 has enough views, so it’s extra important that people see them, so thanks for making this video to spread the word! But on top of that, they actually released descriptions and titles for every episode. I’ll put them a bit further down if anyone wants to see them. Episode 1, Part 1: Bottle Imps Bill Woodward has been chosen to test out CCRP’s latest and greatest product; Bottle Imps. These reality-bending buddies will bring their owner the one thing they desire most. When his new imp, Lovely, brings him to his soulmate, Bill decides to use his magical companion to play matchmaker. But to help Charlotte find the man of her dreams, Bill will have to bend the imp’s rules. Rules he’s been warned, must never be broken… Episode 1, Part 2: Frankenruth Desperate to see a naked body, Ruth Fleming and Richie Lipschitz volunteer at the morgue of St. Damien’s Hospital. Their terrible plan becomes exponentially more terrible, when they become unwitting subjects in the experiments of the body-snatching madman, Doctor Laszlo, who claims to have conquered death itself. If Hatchetfield thought Ruth was bad before, then they will cower before the unspeakable horror of… Frankenruth! Episode 2, Part 1: Becky Barnes Climbed a Tree Becky Barnes is on top of the world! Not in a literal sense, of course. She’s deathly afraid of heights. After years of struggle, Becky’s life is finally everything she dreamed it would be. She’s engaged to her high school sweetheart, Tom Houston, and the two have a surprise baby on the way! But, as the couple prepare for the arrival of baby Marie, a shadow from Becky’s past returns to haunt them. Episode 2, Part 2: Devil’s Night Tim Houston has a crush. Unfortunately, it’s on his older, mature and totally cool babysitter, Grace Chasity, who he fears will never see him as anything but a snot-nosed little kid. But when a devilish maniac with murderous designs on Grace attacks Hatchetfield the night before Halloween, Tim must protect his beloved, or join the killer’s growing body count. It’s another slashing adventure on the night HE came home… Devil’s Night. (This is likely the finale of the “2,000’s teen horror trilogy” that includes Abstinence Camp and NPMD.) Episode 3 (Double Length): Miss Holloween It’s Halloween in Hatchetfield once again, and Miss Holloway is celebrating the same way she’s done for decades, staving off the horrors that go bump in the night. But when Duke gives her an invitation to his wedding, the dejected Miss Holloway begins to chafe under the terms of a contract forged many years ago. She strikes a new bargain, but unfortunately her creditors are known for their tricks, not treats. Just as Miss Holloway gives up her powers in exchange for a mortal life, a monstrous new threat rears its ugly head. As All Hallows Eve descends, and all Hell breaks loose, Miss Holloway must save the town or die trying… for real this time. Episode 4 (Double Length): Orbweaver Lex Foster had a life once. A home. A boyfriend. Now there is only the road, and her sister, and the fear of the men who are hunting them. As Hannah Foster watched Lex sink deeper into despair, she is certain of only three things: Webby is gone. She cannot help them. They are alone. Elsewhere, an old soldier awakens from a catatonic state. Returned from some unimaginable Hell with a mission. He knows that somewhere, two magical girls require immediate evac… then maybe some coffee.

I have no idea if this bit was fully serious or not, but just to clarify: Alice got her phone back during Watcher World because a mysterious fortune teller (Madame Iris) had given it back to her as she used Blinky's powers or something to bring it back idk (BTW I LOVED THE VIDEO)

Absolutely the "not everything is as it seems" was in reference to the talk the cast had after the show where they mention that Blinky may have used the phone as a way to drive further conflict between Bill and Alice

Huge respect! Took me a lot longer to get through them as I wanted to make sure I gave each episode its own proper time and attention to review it

[@TheAJay97]

Look, Mom! A comment I made is in a video! I'm so glad you gave Nightmare Time the chance it deserves! I believe Nightmare Time proves that good storytellers can still tell a convincing story given extreme limitations. While Zoom readings are definitely not my first choice when it comes to media consumtion, there is definitely something about the Nightmare Time episodes that is both charming and captivating that drew me to them in 2020, and keeps bringing me back to re-watch them when in the mood. Not to mention the layers of complexity it adds to the three mucicals by revealing so much lore about the town of Hatchetfield. Now you just need to go find "Hey, Melissa!" in one of the livestreams. But fair warning, that one is a bit.... out in left feild.

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

After watching Hatchetfield Ape Man when Nightmare Time first came out I could not have imagined how high the quality would become later on in Nightmare Time 2, it was really worth the watch and it's a damn shame that the views drop off so heavy after the first episode

[@michaelcarlton1484]

​@@Undeniably_IdioticI'll fully admit I had to force myself through those opening minutes of lag, but thankfully it smoothed out by the end of the story and Watcher World and the rest of the series didn't really have any issues.

no matter what you believe about the story of jane's a car, the song is absolutely iconic. I GOT MY FOOT ON THE GASSSSS lol. and also it was in the background of the beginning of the homecoming scene in npmd so... it made it! lol

Killer Track is absolutely my favourite Nightmare Time story. It's the only one that really got me in my feels. the goodbye between Duke and Miss Holloway is the saddest part. Though Yellow Jacket is a close second. I do really miss Nightmare Time and hope they'll do more of them in the future. Also Time Bastard and Forever and Always is such a fantastic two parter

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Time Bastard is my favourite from Season 1 and Killer Track is my favourite from Season 2, really cannot wait to see when Nightmare Time 3 comes along and what format they'll choose to present it in since there's no need for social distancing over Zoom calls

Wait but in the beginning of Jane's a Car, while Ethan fixes the car he almost gets killed...so does that mean if that happened, Jane would be in Ethan's body and for Lex it would look like Ethan had left her for her former teacher? Ok that would be fucked up

I had this realisation also after I made this video, it is crazy especially with a multiverse series how many different stories could stem from the slightest change in events

[@trezalkapeliskova2121]

[@RozehKakes]

watching this and Time Bastard over again, the allusions to Tinky chasing Ted in the maze of the golden cube/ his "toy box" felt still kind of loose but i then realized that Ted really is perpetually treated like Tinkys tortured toy (ok ill stop lol) with Emma and Paul hot on his heels, this iteration of Ted is killed, but the one still at the wedding is now on its way to drinking himself into a stupor, lamenting about time passed that he wont get back, and leaving himself open for Tinky to destroy him all over again. Ted truly is a stuck in a time loop that Tinky just plays with over and over again christ this franchise is so j o o c y y y 😩👌👌👌

even outside of time bastard you'll notice ted and homeless guy always seem to die when they appear in Hatchetfield Stories

[@bbqreal]

25:35 to be fair,if you were stuck in a car for like God knows how long it would be fair if you would try any way ro get out,but i do agree, without that it could call into question how considerate she was of others when she was alive, but i personally think jane acted like that due to mania/wanting out

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Especially since it's said she can feel as a car and was transferred in there as it had been crashed into. Also I only just realised this now but she even tries to take Ethan's body immediately after they're done fixing her up. So yeah... pretty damn desperate to get out of there.

[@worthbygrades]

This might be controversial. But I really liked Jane's a car. Not my favorite but Still something I think about time to time and not just because it's a weird concept but because of the great Story that is told, but I think also. Because I had a little problem with the ending. Or I need to eject my own creative spin on it. I know it's not my place, but if you will allow me what if Becky jumped out of the way of the car just in time and Tom goes crashing through the windshield.Hits his head on a rock as he tumbles down a Hill Slope amongst the leaves. And if I remember correctly , it needs a deato transfer One soul to the next so now Jane is in Ted's body and having to deal with the rest of her life being Her husband Especially Now that the car is totaled and the tape is completely destroyed. I get the need to tie things up with a type bow while making us wonder. But I think this is more intriguing. But that's my own personal take.

[@worthbygrades]

I Think that while power corrupts absolutely. I think a great way to take. It is that there needs to be something added to make it really corrupt some. Type of curse Some way that you become unrecognizable to yourself. Or your surroundings. And/or in you're Ability to move around in this world and of course, I think that this would be a longer show if you really wanted to play into these aspects like for instance Seeing how Jane tries to keep Smiling for Tim Wild morning Tom and having to look in the mirror and see his face every single time, reflecting on her time as a car "driving her insane." Get it 😂. No, but seriously. What would that do to you, psychologically?

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

Now I have two versions of Jane is a Car that will keep me up at night! That is a very cool alternate ending I must say...

[@Ghosty_starzz]

I'm very excited to rewatch this video with my mom as, nightmare time was crucial to her understanding of the lore since neither of us liked black friday and thus she forget everything thing from it.

[@Undeniably_Idiotic]

If you've got the time to do so, watching through Nightmare Time is a much more rewarding way of unravelling the lore of Hatchetfield! Black Friday had a lot to get through in only one musical show, so having Nightmare Time go at a more manageable pace is very nice to have!

[@Ghosty_starzz]

​​​@@Undeniably_IdioticI agree with this statement. As you said, Black Friday had a lot to get through which was only made more difficult because they needed to have a coherent story on top of adding the lords in black, white and black, etc. Because of this, Nightmare time was definitly necessary to not just confuse fans more and more, If we didn't end up getting Nightmare Time we would need many more lore drops in Musicals, Short stories (Like Working Boys), and livestreams. We also, likely would've had to wait much longer for NPMD because they would have to present the other lords in black in their own on-stage musical(s) that could've been the same storylines of Nightmare Time or completely different. Also, we wouldn't of gotten the theme song, Virginity rocks, or the music video for Perky's Buds and thise would've been the greatest losses
