I love how Paul and Emma are, like, The Great Hatchetfield Love Story, but arguably their first interaction in all of Hatchetfield is Lauren, in the Emma costume, calling Paul a "piece of SHIT!"

Look, I only watched Nerdy Prudes Must Die a week ago (yes, I know I'm late, judge me) but holy shit have I fallen for it, hard.

I mean, I was already out of a fandom (it finally keeled over and died under the weight of its own drama, at least in my eyes. I'd followed it for 4 years) and I threw myself back into tf2 as a bit of a replacement, seeing as I'd been half in, half out for years, but NPMD. It Got me.

It's just,,, so good?? I immediately contracted severe and fast-acting terminal brainrot. You know it's real when you got like, 5 fanfics planned out already.

Hhhh I am head over heels in love with it. And with the Lords in Black. I fucking love this musical.

#just thoughts #i have feelings #nerdy prudes must die #starkid npmd #wiggly #wiggog y'wrath #richie #richard lipschitz #starkid #npmd #thank you Jon Matteson for blessing us with so many iconic characters #I love them all #I will write fanfiction #someday #that is a threat

Starkid Evil Dead the Musical

Look who’s evil now! It’s time for the Starkid Dreamcast for the Evil Dead musical. Another small show but one I struggled to cast for based on how iconic the movie is (especially with Ash) so I really the actors I chose really embodied their spirts (but not literally)

1. Curt Mega as Ash 2. Jaime Lyn Beatty as Cheryl 3. Denise Donovan as Shelly/Annie 4. Joe Walker as Jake 5. Jon Matteson as Scott 6. Lauren Lopez as Linda 7. Joey Richter as Ed/Moose

Understudies: Tyler Brunsman (Jake, Scott, Ed/Moose), Joey Richter (Ash), Rachael Soglin (Cheryl, Shelly/Annie, Linda)

Make sure to leave any show suggestions or any questions on my casting choices so I can explain them.

Personal Ranking of Nightmare Time Episodes

Let me preface that I love every single thing that has come from the Hatchetfield series, including every Nightmare Time episode. The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals and Black Friday got me through quarantine, and I have all the Nightmare Time release dates(just Yellow Jacket left) on my calendar. This ranking was so hard to make, and inevitably came down to just personal character preferences. There will be an explanation for each ranking. Spoilers for Nightmare Time season 1, all currently released episodes of season 2, Black Friday, and TGWDLM.

11. Killer Track: This story was solid. I love how we got more context on Miss Holloway’s past. We got to see a bit more of the Black Book, and I especially liked how we get to see the storylines so far, intertwine at the Honey Festival. It really drives home that this whole season takes place in one crazy summer. All the acting was phenomenal, and the music(especially the Needy Beast’s cover of the Nightmare Time theme song) will be streamed the second it releases on Spotify. What put it in last place, was just the fact that I didn’t really find the Killer Track itself, scary. Jeff Blim did great, but I was vibing the entire time. I also don’t like Duke or Miss Holloway as much as the other characters, so until I see them more, I won’t exactly be engrossed in their relationship. Still a solid episode, I’d rate it a 6/10.

10. The Witch In the Web: Once again, solid story. I love how it showed Lex and Hannah’s home life, and it introduced Duke and Miss Holloway. It gave us so much lore on the Lords in Black and Webby, and I will always enjoy lore dumps. It called back to previous Hatchetfield moments, like when they visited the Starlight Theater, or met Uncle Wiley. The dream setup of the story was also very fun to follow along with, and parts reminded of me of stories like ParaNorman. What dragged it down was the horror elements. Stories structured like dreams are just so fascinating to me, that I didn’t find anything scary. The closest I got to a fearful reaction, was either Lex’s transformation into Willabella Muckwab, or when Pamela was strangling Miss Holloway. I’d rate this episode, a 6/10.

9. Abstinence Camp: I was a church kid. I went to vacation bible studies over the summer, Sunday school, Wednesday church, the whole shebang. I am a Baptist Christian. Abstinence Camp was a fun little reminder about those summers spent learning “pure” things. I love Peter Spankoffski, even back when he was just the Hot Chocolate Boy/Obnoxious Teen. The little relationship between Stephanie and Pete was interesting to watch. Grace Chastity was not at all what I expected, and I loved every second. Kim Whalen and Jon Matteson did such a good job as Boy Jerry and Girl Jeri. The gore was on point, especially the description of what happened to Gabe. The humor was awesome. Corey Doris and Bryce Charles sang the Axe Man song beautifully, and I still find myself humming Virginity Rocks. With that being said, I am an asexual, who gets pretty uncomfortable at mentions of sexual things, but that didn’t really affect my enjoyment, until the Dirty Girl scene. But aside from that, it’s a really fun experience. I give it a 7/10. Jon Matteson playing an insane character is always enjoyable.

8. Perky’s Buds: I don’t get why a lot of people dislike this one. Aside from the vomiting scene, it was a fun story about Emma’s pot farm dreams, and elaborated on a character mentioned in Watcher World, Ziggy. It gave us lore on the Hatchetmen, and the Witchwood in general. Joey’s performance of Ezekiel was phenomenal, every second he was onscreen was iconic. I will be using lines like “Isaac, never speak to me again” in regular conversation. I’ve already adapted “tig ol’ bitties” into my day to day vocabulary. The horror moments were terrifying as well, from the Metzger’s being pecked apart by birds, the realization that the birds could mind control people, and the Scary Movie-esque moment of Ezekiel wielding multiple guns. What brought it down for me, was the vomiting scene, yes, but also the ending. I know they probably didn’t want to have Emma and Ziggy burning up in a fire, but their rescue just felt like a bit of a cop-out. Still a good time, would love to see Jae in more Starkid stuff. I’d give it a 7.5/10.

7. Jane’s A Car: From here on out, I’d like to say that my jaw dropped, a minimum of once for these stories. Jane’s A Car not only brought one of the lines that haunt me during exams, “Got my foot on the gas”, but genuinely made my jaw drop at the ending. Tom and Becky were my second and third favorite characters in Black Friday, losing to Linda Monroe. It was really cool to meet Jane, in her car form. It was setup in a way similar to a Goosebumps story, where no one really believes the main character, because if someone told you their car was possessed by the soul of their deceased wife, you would either assume they were lying, or have them admitted in a mental hospital. The twist of Jane succeeding in taking over Becky’s body at the end, along with the context on the Black Book, was very interesting. Also, it gave us the brief return of Greenpeace Girl, along with a solid Lex and Ethan moment that set up the main plot. Dylan’s performance of Tom has so many complexities, that it really brings Tom to life, and makes him feel like someone I would genuinely encounter and enjoy being around. The only thing that detracted from this story, was the nearly erotic car scene, that would make the guy in love with his car on TLC proud. As I said before, that sort of thing just makes me a tad uncomfortable. All in all, Jane’s A Car receives a solid 8/10.

6. Daddy: This story makes watching Black Friday, a whole new experience. On my first watch of Black Friday, Frank just seemed like your average capitalist, taking advantage of the biggest money-making day of the year, but Daddy gives him so many new dimensions. While he still has the same personality, you learn he doesn’t have much money, since he followed his passion with unfortunate timing. His dog dies in the beginning, and that alone was enough to bring a single tear to my eye. My dogs mean everything to me, I just felt the pain. The Young family, which I now realize is a literal last name, was a fascinating thing to get more context on. How Sherman can buy all the Wigglys (Wigglies?) from Toy Zone makes sense now. Sheila being involved with the Black Book and the Lords in Black, Sherman gaining the ability to stay a kid forever, learning that the Man In A Hurry’s name is Barry Swift, made the story so fun to watch. Jaime and Corey did amazingly. I’d give this story, an 8/10. Also Ted gets shot in the dick, and that’s funny as fuck.

5. Hatchetfield Ape-Man: Any story with Professor Hidgens and Ted is immediately amazing. The Hatchetfield Ape-Man song was so jazzy, I sing along every time. The story has a Tarzan x The Most Dangerous Game feel, especially when Hidgens chases Johnathan through the Witchwood. It’s a self-aware story, that shows Hidgens and Ted at the best. A lot of those lines made me crack up laughing, and this story marks one of the many times Ted gets shot. What I will say, is that the horror only really picks up towards the end, but for the first episode of Nightmare Time, it’s excellent pacing, and I will never tire of crazed Professor Hidgens. 8.5/10, go watch it if you haven’t.

4. Honey Queen: For being a longer story, it doesn’t feel stretched out. I adore Linda Monroe, anything Lauren does is immediately awesome, but Linda really sticks out to me, for no reason in particular. Aside from meeting her kids and Gerald, we get a lot more insight into Linda in general, from her upbringing to the underhanded means she’ll stoop to, to get what she wants. We also get to see Zoey and Sam again, and it really feels like a blend of the TGWDLM cast and Black Friday cast. We get so much Zoey context, the entire Latte Hottay song, and Nibbly’s first standalone appearance. That Nibbly appearance was written so beautifully grotesque, it really helped me visualize the horror that is Nibbly. Paul also gets two lines, and that's enough to have put this in the Top 5. Also Jon Matteson plays another villain, and while I followed him for his performance as Paul, I’d do it again for Roman. 9/10.

3. Time Bastard: Ted is one of my favorite Hatchetfield characters, and every time he shows up is fun for me. So I loved this deep dive into his past. This and Forever and Always also tie into one another, and that is something I do like to see. The way the story made Ted into a somewhat sympathetic character, despite not changing his personality, and made the Homeless Guy important to the lore of the story, was a cool outcome. It makes watching La Dee Dah Dah Day a different experience. Peanuts The Hatchetfield Pocket Squirrel song is art worthy of the Louvre. The future for CCRP Technical was so surreal. The moment that Ted accidentally kills Jenny, was a jaw drop moment. Watching Time Bastard has such strong implications for Hatchetfield as a whole. Also we get the first solo appearance of Tinky, and Jeff Blim is a wonderful actor. 9.5/10.

2. Forever and Always: What can I say, I love Paul and Emma. This story is near perfection to me. The whole story is just Paulkins, with the very solid hook of the Emma he married, not only isn't the real Emma, but is a homicidal android. The Homeless Man's appearance and the tie ins with Time Bastard were superb. The duet between Robert and Mariah was god-tier. The finale twist of Paul himself being a clone, who killed the original, after you find out they killed the real Emma, is so shocking. The only thing that kept Forever and Always from first place, was the strengths of the next story, and the fact that Paul23 barely has any time to be evil. 9.9/10.

1. Watcher World: There was a brief period of time, where I could not finish this story. It was eerily similar to a recurring dream I had been having, down to the eyes and color motifs. Every single time, I could only get about as far as the first mention of purple eyes, and then I would tap out. I forced myself to sit down and finish it, and Oh My God. My jaw, the ground. Corey and Mariah's performances as Bill and Alice were so believable. Father/Daughter relationships mean a lot to me, so seeing the very realistic bond between them was so emotional. Blinky's concept as the Watcher with a Thousand Eyes is horrifying, so much so that the mere idea of it made the climax that much scarier. The eerieness of the Sniggle performance, coupled with the strange, hallucinatory visions created by Blinky, really brought the overall atmosphere home. The vision that Bill has of smashing Alice's head in with the mallet is scary as hell. And the ending, one of the only happier endings in Hatchetfield. Talking about everything I liked in this story would take too long. 10/10.

All in all, I'd highly recommend this series to anyone I'll come across. Expect the overall look of my blog to change soon. I will not be posting again until the 9th, which will be my 16th birthday and 69th post. Have a good day!

(Warning: the last couple times I tried to do a separate paragraph it somehow condensed into one paragraph when you posted it for some reason so I apologize in advance for what might end up being a huge wall of text lol)

Omg my top five starkid musicals?? That’s so hard 😭 I definitely don’t have a set ranking so these won’t be in order just general top five.

Obviously I have to have AVPM in there. I mean it’s a classic and was the show that introduced me to Starkid when I was a big Harry Potter fan and found this show. I was obsessed with the Very Potter Trilogy in middle school and would listen to the soundtrack every day while getting ready for school lmao. Honestly if I could put all three in my top five I would (like Coolest Girl helped me get more confidence and is so important to me) but I gotta save some room for other shows cuz they’re all amazing. But AVPM gave us “Hufflepuff’s are particularly good finders” and Quirrelmort and that alone is enough to put it in the top five (not even counting all the other iconic parts of the show)

Maybe an unpopular opinion but Holy Musical Batman is definitely in my top five. Idk what it is but I just love that show. The puns, the costumes, Nick Lang acting, Joe walker (I miss him ok), Jeff Blim debut in arguably one of his best roles? It’s all SO good. Also the opening number is *chef’s kiss* like Dylan didn’t need to go that hard. ALSO THE ACAPELLA SECTION IN DARK SAD LONELY KNIGHT?! It’s amazing. Anyway I love that silly little show.

Maybe it’s recency bias but I love NPMD. I literally have the soundtrack on repeat. One of the best StarKid soundtracks FOR SURE. The show is just so funny and has good characters and has amazing songs what more can I say? Also Angela as Grace is a standout

Idk if this counts since it’s shorter and not written by the Lang bros but A VHS Christmas Carol is so special to me so it’s in my top five. I love the 80s soundtrack (lowkey Clark’s best work) and vibes in general. I also love how we get to see some older Starkids who aren’t in the current stuff anymore again. I literally screamed (ok maybe not literally but internally I screamed and freaked out lol) when I saw the video announcing the cast for the first time bc omg my favs are returning!! Also I am obsessed with Brian and Lauren as a duo (SIBLINGS) so seeing them actually play siblings and the little spin hug they did just warmed my heart.

Honestly for fifth it’d probably be whichever I watch most recently bc they’re all so good and I can’t decide so I’ll at least say tie between Trail to Oregon and Black Friday. They’re both so good but so different so it’s hard for me to decide but I love them both. OMG AND TWISTED!! Bro I literally can’t pick a fifth they’re all so good 😭

THIS IS WHAT I WAS SAYING!!! ITS SO HARD TO CHOOSE!!

I feel like anybody that like Starkid has to have AVPM in the top 5, it’s usually the first introduction to them!

You’re making me want to push Holy Musical Batman further up on my catch-up to Starkid musicals! I skimmed it a while ago and it didn’t grab me so I watched something else, BUT IT SOUNDS SO GOOD WITH HOW YOU PITCHED IT? It’s next on my list for sure!

NPMD really is pretty killer, I LOVE the music! I put it on some playlists and everything! from Lauren's solo to Grace’s “bully/Bury the bully” THE INTRO?! JON MATTESON !!! “I’M NOT A LOSER!” LIKE DUDE?!

moving on

GOSHDAMN ANOTHER ONE I HAVENT SEEN! VHS Christmas Carol! I ALSO skimmed this one and didn’t finish it! I’ve really gotta start watching stuff! You make it sound so GOOD!

RIGHT ITS SO HARD TO CHOOSE. I’ll agree to have all Starkid musicals as our #1 beside “me and my dick”.

#starkid #starkid top 5
