(NPMD Spoilers Ahead) Knowing what the Lords in Black asked of the teens in exchange for their help, does this mean the thing Miss Holloway desires most is to be remembered? Because if so; that's so incredibly sad
Seems more like a price they set for their arbitrary amusement, rather than some hard rule to make magic work. But if that’s the case, that makes this far more likely… how tragic…
I love the fact that Miss Holloway has probably had to change her identity many times and erase the memory of that identity, but every time, Duke falls for her again. Now, that is so cute!!
32:32 this point right here, with Becky Barnes appearing completely out of the blue but at the same time in a way that makes total sense, made me realize something: small towns are an ideal setting for an expanded universe of characters, because literally every couple of characters meeting can be easily explained away by saying "oh well, you know, it's a small world", and then you can focus on the duo's dynamic rather than exposure. It's a great writing tool I've never thought of.
Sherman Young is an ace attorney character too-- tbh everyone from "Daddy" would fit right in (except maybe the eldritch horrors but that could be easily worked into AA)
aughhh that gives me such an awesome vision of Wright or a Hatchetfield lawyer whos v similar to Wright (prob played by Joey tbh) enocuntering all the characters across NMT and the trilogy Him bumping into the man in a hurry or Paul and the rest of CCRP technical during a busy morning at Beanies Him and Duke probably working together often to settle lawsuits and cases of all sorts in town (i imagine being a lawyer in Hatchetfield is as soul numbing as trying to be a politician) He'd have a Edgeworth-like rival from Clivesdale who has the most snooty vibe and punchable face, but they see each other so often, they're basically husbands homo erotic courtroom tension?? in M Y starkid production??? would he work with Gary? how much has he been acosted by the Monroes?? if there is a judge, idk how she'd take it, but i want it to be Jaime, and I want her to go buck fuckin wild with it aaaa imagine everyone in the artstyle !!! the implications!!!!! (hi im so sorry to bombard you all with this it is late and i am excitable :DDDD)
I love how this episode turns Sherman Young from an annoying potentially homicidal gremlin in Black Friday, to one of the single most terrifying characters in the entire series.
yeah, seeing those two interact would be a godsend! edit: imagine seeing miss holloway working with peip on something, and seeing her style of operating intersecting with the more scientific work that peip does. imagine the conflict there, having relations break down in the face of chaos, but they still need each other to banish the big bad. thatd be so cool. here's to hoping for NMF3
I don't think it's the same timeline in all of the episodes of Nightmare Time, since Needy Beast wasn't in the honey festival that Linda and Zoey attended to. (However, it's shown that both Killer Track and Daddy happened at the same time, due to Ted meeting Sheila)

Okay but why is Miss Holloway the best thing to happen to Starkid? A gorgeous redhead witch from the 80s that fights horrible monsters and sings gorgeous rock ballads? I'm a little in love. Especially after watching Season 4 of Stranger Things, I'm kind of an 80s hype trip
Much as I also love 80's nostalgia, I honestly gotta say f*ck Stranger Things at this point. They lost me when they kept glorifying Hopper's toxic bllsh*t all last season. Starkid is doing what they do way better anyway, and yeah, Miss Holloway is just. The. Damn. Best. She's like if Touched by an Angel and Charmed had a baby, and that baby turned out to be Buffy. It's frickin awesome

Even though I knew that both Sherman and his mother were played by Jaime, it still took me half of the story to register she was playing two characters in the story and acting with herself. Lol
Ms. Holloway and Duke were my favorite new characters from Season 1! Glad to see them back! I seriously want a Duke and Ms. Holloway tv show or movie now. The concept of their relationship both working and romantic is Fantastic! There is so much that could happen. 😉
@@yeshevishmanmaybe they will be in the fifth hatchetfield musical? We seem to be getting one for all five the Lords in Black based on the recent NPMD
i'm just here to remind fellow charlotte sweetly stans that she lost her husband and her ted in one day (this season is entirely in one timeline i believe) and i am DISTRAUGHT goodbye
One thing about Starkids, they are gonna act their ASSES off in a small little square!!! The storytelling and acting in these 2 installments of Nightmare Time isincredible!!! Such worldbuilding and deep dives into characters we only got a glimpse of in some stories!!! The familial situation of Sherman and why he acts the way he does, and the return of Frank, plus a well put Hatchetfield twist was an unexpected story! Plus the return of Duke & Miss Holloway (Holiday) with heart wrenching moments that really bring a tear to your eye, and make you question what is going on with that Red-Headed 80s lady? Phenomenal work once again, with amazing songs that will comfort and disturb!!! Killer Track is probably my favourite Nightmare Time story that we have gotten so far!!! The acting was just off the charts!!! Kim and Curt know how to make you FEEL!!! Loved every second of it!!! Always looking forward to these Nightmare Time installments and they just always knock it out of the park!!! Cannot wait for the final installment of NT2 "Yellow Jacket" next week!!! I just KNOW that we will go out, with a BANG!!!
I'm not entirely sure why, but I can't help but sympathize with Sherman. I guess it's probably because, as an autistic person, I can relate to not maturing in a normal manner and having age inappropriate behavior or interests. It's hard not to see him as a reflection of my own insecurities; the fear of what I might be- what I see myself as when I'm in a dark place - and my own vulnerability to being manipulated.
I do too I have asd too but I'm "high functioning" or whatever shit those baby boomers say I hate baby boomers they piss me off I see myself as "normal" as normal as a person like me can be .
@@cottoncandyheart894 heh, I'm in the same boat, but I'm still 16 so it's not too weird yet. I watch cartoons and musicals almost exclusively, and I really like certain juvenile things even though my behavior doesn't often reflect that. I've yet to watch the episode, but also, hello fellow autistic starkids
I totally agree with you! I know that I don't do what he does, eventhough there isn't really anything wrong with what he does (except for the tickling part in black friday). However I am worried people see me that way because they will see me as weird and a creep like how people see Sherman.
I have Asperger's, or what used to be called that, anyway. I think the most recent DSM considers that part of the spectrum now? I wonder how many of us there are in this fanbase. I like animation, too, including a lot of stuff meant for kids. Anyone else here a Gravity Falls fan?
lol "Daddy" was basically just ALL Jamie and she KILLED IT. How did you guys manage to make "Killer Track" both terrifying AND a banger?! You guys are such geniuses at weaving all the characters and plots from previous shows together. Absolutely brilliant. Also, "Paul is Dead Records" at the very, very end. Omg.
Honestly Killer Track took my breath away...I was already a die hard Ms. Holloway and Duke fan(both them as charaters and the ship) and it was so beautifully heartbreaking to see them play out in yet another scenario. I don't think this is the last we'll see of Ms. Holloway(that vague backstory just seems too good!), but it makes me sad that she likely won't be with Duke if there is more content with her :(
I think it makes a lot of sense for them to be together! She returns as a guidance counselor and he's a social worker - that's the perfect setup for a future collaboration.
@@Shadowonwateryeah probably so. I think we will see her origin story eventually tbh. Since it's the second time i think they have mentioned her past/ how she can do what she does
one of these days we’re gonna need a story that’s just…normal. a normal character having a normal day. of course, there are plenty of set ups for wacky hijinks, but our protagonist just ignores them. that’s all i want in this life
Maybe a bunch of paranormal stories could all be going on in the background with us only seeing part of each one as the main character of the story walks past them (kind of like the story of the other main characters besides Xander stopping an apocalypse in the background of the Buffy episode "The Zeppo."
Can't wait to hear Kim's solo again! Such a rockstar moment for her :D But lord I do love Daddy. Both these episodes are fantastic. Very happy to finally rewatch.
I jumped from my seat when it played good lord I was NOT expecting that But then again its called the killer track so…I guess thats why it sounds hellishly horrifying JSJFJS
Kim and Curt did a GREAT job in this episode. Their acting -- especially together -- was really really good. I'm so glad they're part of the StarKid family now.
Writing this BEFORE I view the video entirely: I didn't know Sherman would be elaborated upon at ALL so I'm curious to see how this goes. And Kim!!! The return of Kim! A new role for Bryce! I'm so excited! Let's see how this goes!
That bit with the dog, Buddy, affected me really badly. I lost my dog that I grew up with a couple of months ago. His name was Buddy and I’m still working on getting over my greif.
Love lines when mysterious magical character just casually state they aren't fazed by things normal people would find truly bizzare. And it was delivered so Well.
I am sooooooooo dumb. I have watched “Killer Track” like a dozen times, but never in a marathon with Season 1 Nightmare time. So I thought “Run Away With Me” worked cause she was singing about her life. Now that I put it with the 80’s tree girl asking for an autograph, I realize when she says, “It’s one of mine,” she means it’s one of her songs from when she was an 80’s rock star. Thus it works because no one remembers her time as a rock star, so singing one of her songs works the same. 😅
To anyone else (unreasonably, though i was too) terrified to death, ive watched this multiple times and im still alive after multiple weeks :) Idk why i was so scared but i just cant handle waiting for anything so i thought id leave this for the people like me
This episode really went next level with the music! Also Curt's editing and MV Directing as always is top tier! Also Jaime's directing in Young at Heart was so good!
At some point I'm gonna need a "the confusing timelines from Hatchetfield explained" I am so incredibly bad with remembering names, I'm sure I miss like 80% of the references.
The deals of what people can and can't remember about Miss Hollaway is interesting. She can explain and showcase her skills and interests, but can't tell her lore or stories of how or why she has them. I'm guessing the curse does let her lie, otherwise it would be impossible to be trusted enough to function in society. So it's sweet that she keeps trying to tell Duke her real past knowing its futile, instead of making something up. She loves Duke too much to tell him simple lies to shut him up. She wants to tell him the truth even though she can't.
Maaan!! I literally had to sit down for awhile just to gather my racing thoughts. These felt like such significant stories to the hatchetfield lore in general. Jaime did amazing and all the roles she took on in the first, she has the range and I'm glad that's finally shown off!! Corey did well as Frank again and even developed as it went on... *R.I.P. Barry* Killer track was fucking dope with all the tie-ins and how insane of a connection it had to the overarching plot. Kim was amazing as Holloway and it gave us a greater understanding of her character. And how it shows she's someone who will put her life on the line to complete her work. Curt and Bryce were also highlights for the story, I swear all these character relationships feel so natural and well written. Props to these stories for that genuine effort with the writing there!! Fantastic work all around...(that fireworks scene got me choked up along with the earlier Holloway one at the diner.) I can't wait to see yellow jacket as it's the grand finale. And apparently has some more lore according to vague hints and I am so excited to see how this will wrap up the season--👀👀👌👌💖💖💛💛 *Damn that Holiday solo was tasty. She did sooo well!! 😤😤🤟🤟*
@@nacho_girl Daaaaamn. I'll keep that in mind for what's coming. As Starkid so far has knocked it out of the park with it's writing. So them cranking it past 11 doesn't surprise me--👀👀😳😳😤😤
@@The-Busy-Beeeeeagreed! It feels like they're fated to keep meeting Possibly because of whatever deities exist in this realm, but also possibly due to the deal created by Holloway and whichever person/deity I like to think the deities have these different episodes acting as different interweaving timelines/events, like a game where they play with each individual in Hatchetfield
Spoilers for the end of Daddy - - - - Honestly all Frank has to do is wait until Sherman falls asleep one night and then… “take care” of his unwanted responsibility lmao idk bout y’all but watching a grown man disintegrate-murder his own mother to become a child would absolutely put murder on the table for me
“His skinny jeans are ripped to shreds, his hair’s a mess, he looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks…” Me: damn. Just how I like it “Just Rose’s type.” Me: *>:0*
I feel like the Killer Track monster is related to Pokey, the Lord in Black present in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals. They both use sound as a tool to spread/hunt.
NO SAME okay so pokey uses sound/music, tinky manipulates time, blinky is just like an omnipotent watcher, nibbly is just hungry, and wiggly is… a capitalist? not really sure what he does. ALSO I NEED A BREAKDOWN OF WEBBY BC I DONT GET HER AT ALL I JUST KNOW SHE SLAYS. ok i just need a crystal clear thorough hatchetfield for dummies breakdown bc im slow and cannot hold all this info
[Spoiler for "Daddy"] Did anyone noticed that Sheila says, "I'll make another one." when referring to Marco? Like... Ma'am??? What do you mean by "make another one"? Is Marco a living corpse? Some Frankenstein-like creature? It's very evident and obvious that Marco is not exactly a normal human, so it's not that big of a stretch. At first, I thought it was just a spoof character off of Lurch from the Addams Family, but now I'm curious as to what happened to him and how he got to be Sheila's Butler. We know that Sherman's father was murdered... Was Marco once her son's father? Sheila did say that he died when Sherman was a baby, and so Sherman wouldn't have recognized him as "Marco".
Every single time, that last scene with Miss Holloway (note the spelling here) and Duke gets me misty eyed. I hope they get to be in a major show at some point. I neeeeeeeeeeed to see what happened to her originally.
SPOILERS!!!! I actually cried when Ms. Holloway died. Like actually, and I never cry at media. WOW. Killer Track RUINED me. It is now my fervent headcanon that after Ms. Holiday called Duke by his nickname, he remembered everything and they had a happy ending because I said so
my grandma's maiden name was young, and my great grandma's maiden name was sherman. so imagine when i saw black friday and gasped at sherman young's name, and now, im so excited to see he got a whole story. (not to mention sherman is played by jamie lynn beatty and my last name is plaster-beattie, formerly beatty before my great grandfather changed it around)
im sorry but during the credits, nothing was funnier to me than watching the screen of the ddr machine repeatedly say 'MISS', while Jeff is having the time of his life dancing around on it
Killer Track is officially my fave Nightmare Time Episode so far. I am so utterly in awe. And yes indeed Duke, who the hell is not in love with Miss Holloway... not sure that's even a possibility 🥰
@@maryooowoahhI wonder if she sold it to weby since webby is very much tied to time and the timeline and stuff and unwinded if miss halloway is tied to awful events and webby made a deal with her that as long as no one remembers her the awful things won’t happen
Fucking cracked when Ted was killed by Sheila. It's been, what, the third time he has been killed in a horrible fashion? Fourth, if you imply that he was killed by the hydrogen bomb in Black Friday. Edit: Just watched Hey Melissa and, yep, fifth time, horrible death. And with some pretty narly torture as well.
Wooooooooooooooow, Daddy episode is such a new level. Insane, Jaime playing all the roles and so perfectly... the writing, the directing, the cast is general, excellent work you guys! Thank you :) (Didn't even get to the second story, just wanted to express those emotions first)
Ok, so Killer Track was probably the one i was looking forward to the least as there were others I liked more but I can say with confidence, that was probably one of the best episodes so far. Mrs. Holloway and Duke are always a win and as the story was being read, I could literally visualise a movie being made about it. Very well done Starkid!
I am pretty sure (not 100%) but you know how there is the timeline split theory? all of the other nmts and full musicals take place on seperate timelines, this one is all on the same one. Also, perky's buds is mentioned in honey queen.
Seeing Jaime play two different characters in the same story gives me hope that we will see Ted and JoeyPete having a conversation. I don’t know if that what I need but it’s definitely what I’d like.
I love how many of the lyrics in Killer Track are ripped straight from either The Summoning or a song from TGWDLM Ride to hell and back = Out of the depths of Hell and back (Summoning) Light it up, Burn it down = WIND IT UP! KICK ITS NUTS! (Join Us and Die) Ride The Devil's Back = The Devil Is Back (Summoning)
That was my first thought too, my brain has learned to assume the worst when watching Starkid content (and even then it turns out to be even worse than that)

Him bumping into the man in a hurry or Paul and the rest of CCRP technical during a busy morning at Beanies
Him and Duke probably working together often to settle lawsuits and cases of all sorts in town (i imagine being a lawyer in Hatchetfield is as soul numbing as trying to be a politician)

The familial situation of Sherman and why he acts the way he does, and the return of Frank, plus a well put Hatchetfield twist was an unexpected story! Plus the return of Duke & Miss Holloway (Holiday) with heart wrenching moments that really bring a tear to your eye, and make you question what is going on with that Red-Headed 80s lady? Phenomenal work once again, with amazing songs that will comfort and disturb!!! Killer Track is probably my favourite Nightmare Time story that we have gotten so far!!! The acting was just off the charts!!! Kim and Curt know how to make you FEEL!!! Loved every second of it!!! Always looking forward to these Nightmare Time installments and they just always knock it out of the park!!! Cannot wait for the final installment of NT2 "Yellow Jacket" next week!!! I just KNOW that we will go out, with a BANG!!!
I will forever be convinced Killer Track was just written to give Jeff an excuse to do the Oowah ah ah ah thing a bunch
"I'm in a hurry" guy's sudden appearance in the opening was great! XD
I definitely did not see him coming!
He was in a hurry, he had no time for an opening song
Every time Sheila called for Marco, I was waiting for someone to say Polo 🤦🏾♀️ every single time 😭
GOTCHA!

"Paul is dead records"
"Director: Barry Swift"
I was about to comment that!
I appreciate the little details
Barry sped it up to listen to it faster cause he's in a hurry! 🤣🤣
@@leahelena7938 Lol
THANK YOU! I was hoping someone already saw it.
I'm not entirely sure why, but I can't help but sympathize with Sherman. I guess it's probably because, as an autistic person, I can relate to not maturing in a normal manner and having age inappropriate behavior or interests. It's hard not to see him as a reflection of my own insecurities; the fear of what I might be- what I see myself as when I'm in a dark place - and my own vulnerability to being manipulated.
I do too I have asd too but I'm "high functioning" or whatever shit those baby boomers say I hate baby boomers they piss me off I see myself as "normal" as normal as a person like me can be .
@@cottoncandyheart894 heh, I'm in the same boat, but I'm still 16 so it's not too weird yet. I watch cartoons and musicals almost exclusively, and I really like certain juvenile things even though my behavior doesn't often reflect that. I've yet to watch the episode, but also, hello fellow autistic starkids
I totally agree with you! I know that I don't do what he does, eventhough there isn't really anything wrong with what he does (except for the tickling part in black friday). However I am worried people see me that way because they will see me as weird and a creep like how people see Sherman.

I have Asperger's, or what used to be called that, anyway. I think the most recent DSM considers that part of the spectrum now? I wonder how many of us there are in this fanbase. I like animation, too, including a lot of stuff meant for kids. Anyone else here a Gravity Falls fan?
lol "Daddy" was basically just ALL Jamie and she KILLED IT. How did you guys manage to make "Killer Track" both terrifying AND a banger?! You guys are such geniuses at weaving all the characters and plots from previous shows together. Absolutely brilliant. Also, "Paul is Dead Records" at the very, very end. Omg.
Honestly Killer Track took my breath away...I was already a die hard Ms. Holloway and Duke fan(both them as charaters and the ship) and it was so beautifully heartbreaking to see them play out in yet another scenario. I don't think this is the last we'll see of Ms. Holloway(that vague backstory just seems too good!), but it makes me sad that she likely won't be with Duke if there is more content with her :(
Same but i really hope they end up together ❤❤❤
I think it makes a lot of sense for them to be together! She returns as a guidance counselor and he's a social worker - that's the perfect setup for a future collaboration.
I can't help but wonder if this is the first time she's switched to a new persona around him. Like maybe he knew her before Ms. Holloway but forgot.
@@Shadowonwateryeah probably so. I think we will see her origin story eventually tbh. Since it's the second time i think they have mentioned her past/ how she can do what she does
But didn't she return to him in the end?
one of these days we’re gonna need a story that’s just…normal. a normal character having a normal day. of course, there are plenty of set ups for wacky hijinks, but our protagonist just ignores them. that’s all i want in this life
An excellent candidate is the Homeless man
@@urielespinoza1899 ...he kills people high on bath salt zombie drugs snacking on a dead man's face
Maybe a bunch of paranormal stories could all be going on in the background with us only seeing part of each one as the main character of the story walks past them (kind of like the story of the other main characters besides Xander stopping an apocalypse in the background of the Buffy episode "The Zeppo."
I mean, that's gotta be Paul right?
@@urielespinoza1899 definitely not a good candidate
"The hell'd you stop the song for? I'm in a hurry!"
So unexpected LMAO
Dikrats
Wow
I can't believe starkid killed their entire fanbase a year ago by playing the killer track without any warning
Can't wait to hear Kim's solo again! Such a rockstar moment for her :D
But lord I do love Daddy. Both these episodes are fantastic. Very happy to finally rewatch.
Love to see Marco vs Axeman
how the hell did you guys manage to actually make the most terrifying song ever?!
Well, let’s see if we all gonna die after that… 😳 It was apleasure, sharing the world with you, fellow Starkid fans 😔✊ Farewell. I regret nothing
@@michalinaata5267 nah we got the miss holloway antidote, we're gonna be fine 😌
I was half asleep watching this and then the killer track started playing... needless to say, I was startled
I jumped from my seat when it played good lord I was NOT expecting that
But then again its called the killer track so…I guess thats why it sounds hellishly horrifying JSJFJS
@@michalinaata5267 Wdym? I don't remember that, just Kim Whalen rockin' an awesome 80's ballad! XD
I really wish that Sherman’s mom would have married Charlotte so that JLB could have played every major character in Episode 3 🤣
So sick how Sherman and his mom almost look the same. So well casted
I don't know if this is a joke but they're both played by the same person 😭😭
@@boxed_eggs it was a joke XD
I know Duke always falls in love with Miss Holloway, but I think she looks for him every time, too. I hope we get to see Miss Holiday again very soon
Kim and Curt did a GREAT job in this episode. Their acting -- especially together -- was really really good. I'm so glad they're part of the StarKid family now.
The more I see miss Holloway the more I fall in love with her…
Same

Writing this BEFORE I view the video entirely: I didn't know Sherman would be elaborated upon at ALL so I'm curious to see how this goes. And Kim!!! The return of Kim! A new role for Bryce! I'm so excited! Let's see how this goes!
SO UH. IM CRYING, THAT WAS PHENOMENAL
I loved Killer Track and I reaaally hope we’ll get a musical about Miss Holloway. She and Duke need to fall in love again and get a happy ending!
we will!! ^^ it definitely won’t be the next starkid musical but nick has said it’ll most likely happen at some point
“becky barnes, come down from that tree
but i dont want to
ok then” HELP
That bit with the dog, Buddy, affected me really badly. I lost my dog that I grew up with a couple of months ago. His name was Buddy and I’m still working on getting over my greif.
"If it's a ghost, I'll trap it in this jar. That's easy" 1:32:33 BEST LINE
I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! This is why Starkid is so quotable!
Love lines when mysterious magical character just casually state they aren't fazed by things normal people would find truly bizzare. And it was delivered so Well.
I am sooooooooo dumb. I have watched “Killer Track” like a dozen times, but never in a marathon with Season 1 Nightmare time. So I thought “Run Away With Me” worked cause she was singing about her life. Now that I put it with the 80’s tree girl asking for an autograph, I realize when she says, “It’s one of mine,” she means it’s one of her songs from when she was an 80’s rock star. Thus it works because no one remembers her time as a rock star, so singing one of her songs works the same. 😅
Jaime Lyn Beatty in Daddy is just absolutely amazing!!!
To anyone else (unreasonably, though i was too) terrified to death, ive watched this multiple times and im still alive after multiple weeks :)
Idk why i was so scared but i just cant handle waiting for anything so i thought id leave this for the people like me
Thanks for this I sometimes worry about stuff like this too, this was reassuring
I'm convinced that the Honey Festival is the cause of everyone's problems
This episode really went next level with the music! Also Curt's editing and MV Directing as always is top tier! Also Jaime's directing in Young at Heart was so good!
Curt directing Run Away With Me: Hmmm, how to film this in a way that makes everyone love my wife as much as I do…
Goddamm Duke and Ms. Holloways tragedy of a romance killed me !
same, my poor little heart!
At some point I'm gonna need a "the confusing timelines from Hatchetfield explained" I am so incredibly bad with remembering names, I'm sure I miss like 80% of the references.
Well at least every episode of the season so far has been taking place in the same timeline!
Killer Track holds a special place in my heart, the music is absolutely phenomenal and then the story line… there were tears
The deals of what people can and can't remember about Miss Hollaway is interesting. She can explain and showcase her skills and interests, but can't tell her lore or stories of how or why she has them.
I'm guessing the curse does let her lie, otherwise it would be impossible to be trusted enough to function in society. So it's sweet that she keeps trying to tell Duke her real past knowing its futile, instead of making something up. She loves Duke too much to tell him simple lies to shut him up. She wants to tell him the truth even though she can't.
I love that every store in Hatchetfield is (blank)Zone. GuitarZone, ToyZone, PartyZone
Omg wait yes
I never realized that??
Duke and Miss Holloway are so, so special. Heartbreaking and bittersweet. I need like 8 seasons of them.
Maaan!!
I literally had to sit down for awhile just to gather my racing thoughts. These felt like such significant stories to the hatchetfield lore in general. Jaime did amazing and all the roles she took on in the first, she has the range and I'm glad that's finally shown off!! Corey did well as Frank again and even developed as it went on...
*R.I.P. Barry*
Killer track was fucking dope with all the tie-ins and how insane of a connection it had to the overarching plot. Kim was amazing as Holloway and it gave us a greater understanding of her character. And how it shows she's someone who will put her life on the line to complete her work. Curt and Bryce were also highlights for the story, I swear all these character relationships feel so natural and well written. Props to these stories for that genuine effort with the writing there!! Fantastic work all around...(that fireworks scene got me choked up along with the earlier Holloway one at the diner.)
I can't wait to see yellow jacket as it's the grand finale. And apparently has some more lore according to vague hints and I am so excited to see how this will wrap up the season--👀👀👌👌💖💖💛💛
*Damn that Holiday solo was tasty. She did sooo well!! 😤😤🤟🤟*
Yeah it does. Decent amount of lore. Get tissues
@@nacho_girl Daaaaamn. I'll keep that in mind for what's coming. As Starkid so far has knocked it out of the park with it's writing. So them cranking it past 11 doesn't surprise me--👀👀😳😳😤😤
when Miss Holoway played her song and then everyone forgot it - i cried:(
On some level I think duke remembers he remembers the love he had for her at least my headcanon
@@The-Busy-Beeeeeagreed! It feels like they're fated to keep meeting
Possibly because of whatever deities exist in this realm, but also possibly due to the deal created by Holloway and whichever person/deity
I like to think the deities have these different episodes acting as different interweaving timelines/events, like a game where they play with each individual in Hatchetfield
Spoilers for the end of Daddy

Honestly all Frank has to do is wait until Sherman falls asleep one night and then… “take care” of his unwanted responsibility lmao
idk bout y’all but watching a grown man disintegrate-murder his own mother to become a child would absolutely put murder on the table for me
Having to raise Sherman would put murder on the table for me
'Best milf ever'
That murdered me 😭
“His skinny jeans are ripped to shreds, his hair’s a mess, he looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks…”
Me: damn. Just how I like it
“Just Rose’s type.”
Me: *>:0*
Damn they got you
I feel like the Killer Track monster is related to Pokey, the Lord in Black present in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals. They both use sound as a tool to spread/hunt.
NO SAME okay so pokey uses sound/music, tinky manipulates time, blinky is just like an omnipotent watcher, nibbly is just hungry, and wiggly is… a capitalist? not really sure what he does. ALSO I NEED A BREAKDOWN OF WEBBY BC I DONT GET HER AT ALL I JUST KNOW SHE SLAYS. ok i just need a crystal clear thorough hatchetfield for dummies breakdown bc im slow and cannot hold all this info
[Spoiler for "Daddy"]
Did anyone noticed that Sheila says, "I'll make another one." when referring to Marco? Like... Ma'am??? What do you mean by "make another one"? Is Marco a living corpse? Some Frankenstein-like creature? It's very evident and obvious that Marco is not exactly a normal human, so it's not that big of a stretch. At first, I thought it was just a spoof character off of Lurch from the Addams Family, but now I'm curious as to what happened to him and how he got to be Sheila's Butler. We know that Sherman's father was murdered... Was Marco once her son's father? Sheila did say that he died when Sherman was a baby, and so Sherman wouldn't have recognized him as "Marco".
Like said by Sherman, he used to be a player in the Olympics. I'm guessing he died and Sheila resurrected him with attack and defense buffs lol
who needs the MCU when you have hatchetfield
Every single time, that last scene with Miss Holloway (note the spelling here) and Duke gets me misty eyed. I hope they get to be in a major show at some point. I neeeeeeeeeeed to see what happened to her originally.
Me too! Love them. They r one of my favorite couples from the universe. Also love Holloway as a character. So mysterious love it. Need to know more
SPOILERS!!!!
I actually cried when Ms. Holloway died. Like actually, and I never cry at media. WOW. Killer Track RUINED me. It is now my fervent headcanon that after Ms. Holiday called Duke by his nickname, he remembered everything and they had a happy ending because I said so
Yes i agree with u
my grandma's maiden name was young, and my great grandma's maiden name was sherman. so imagine when i saw black friday and gasped at sherman young's name, and now, im so excited to see he got a whole story. (not to mention sherman is played by jamie lynn beatty and my last name is plaster-beattie, formerly beatty before my great grandfather changed it around)
im sorry but during the credits, nothing was funnier to me than watching the screen of the ddr machine repeatedly say 'MISS', while Jeff is having the time of his life dancing around on it
Killer Track is officially my fave Nightmare Time Episode so far. I am so utterly in awe. And yes indeed Duke, who the hell is not in love with Miss Holloway... not sure that's even a possibility 🥰
spoilers for killer track
Miss Holloway, stop sacrificing yourself it's making me cry 🖤🥀💀 /lh
Idk if anyone else has mentioned it but when Miss Halloway is turning the pages in the book she's in them!!
i think that might be related to her origin story where i'm guessing she sold her soul to the devil in exchange for magic
@@maryooowoahh probably not the actual devil maybe another one of these beings from the black and white
@@maryooowoahhI wonder if she sold it to weby since webby is very much tied to time and the timeline and stuff and unwinded if miss halloway is tied to awful events and webby made a deal with her that as long as no one remembers her the awful things won’t happen
Wasn't she is the first discipled of Wiggly and the author of the Black Book? Or am I confused it with Willabela Muckwab (I forgot how to spell it) 😅
Fucking cracked when Ted was killed by Sheila. It's been, what, the third time he has been killed in a horrible fashion? Fourth, if you imply that he was killed by the hydrogen bomb in Black Friday.
Edit: Just watched Hey Melissa and, yep, fifth time, horrible death. And with some pretty narly torture as well.
He’s cursed in every timeline
“But the dog doesn’t come like it has everyday for the last nine years.” Nope! I’m out! Not watching!
Wooooooooooooooow, Daddy episode is such a new level. Insane, Jaime playing all the roles and so perfectly... the writing, the directing, the cast is general, excellent work you guys! Thank you :)
(Didn't even get to the second story, just wanted to express those emotions first)
I cried. Kim and Curt's chemistry is forever unmatched
Miss Holloway my beloved i await your return
The Care Bears in young at heart are all the same colors as The Lords in Black!
Ok, so Killer Track was probably the one i was looking forward to the least as there were others I liked more but I can say with confidence, that was probably one of the best episodes so far. Mrs. Holloway and Duke are always a win and as the story was being read, I could literally visualise a movie being made about it. Very well done Starkid!
all the stories of S2 so far have taken place over the honey festival. interesting
Was the Honey Festival mentioned in Perky's Buds and Lumber Axe?
@@adamdavis1648 yeah Ted says his brother is missing it and makes a joke about honeys 👀
I am pretty sure (not 100%) but you know how there is the timeline split theory? all of the other nmts and full musicals take place on seperate timelines, this one is all on the same one.
Also, perky's buds is mentioned in honey queen.
the honey festival was also mentioned in season 1, episode 3: the witch in the web.
Seeing Jaime play two different characters in the same story gives me hope that we will see Ted and JoeyPete having a conversation.
I don’t know if that what I need but it’s definitely what I’d like.
I really want to appreciate that the fanbase loved Main in a Hurry so much that he became his own character, I absolutely love it!!
1:46:02 god damnit! I knew they weren’t just gonna hand out her origin like that.
They need to. I do think eventually we will hear/ see her origin story
Maybe we already have...we just can't remember it.

NICK PLEASE MAKE A MUSICAL ABOUT MISS HOLLOWAY AND DUKE, OTHERWISE I WILL 😭
45:32 'Sherman! Don't be a poo!'
10/10 outstanding writing
Sherman: I don't get why she's single
Mrs. Young: you're so full of life!
Mrs. Young: have you for dinner
me: she is going to fully feast on his flesh
That was my first thought too, my brain has learned to assume the worst when watching Starkid content (and even then it turns out to be even worse than that)
The thing is, I KNOW Starkid always breaks expectations, so I knew it was going to be worse. xD
I was like " She is going to eat this man 😂" the fact that she didn't subverted my expectations
In a perfect world this series could be a fully fledged tv show, goosebumps or eerie Indiana style
