Nightmare Time is a musical horror comedy web series created by StarKid Productions. It is set in the fictional town of Hatchetfield, where StarKid musicals The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals and Black Friday take place. It serves as a companion series to the Hatchetfield canon and tells additional stories set in the universe. The title is a reference to a line from a song in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals.

The season 2 story "Abstinence Camp" introduces some of the characters appearing in the then-upcoming musical Nerdy Prudes Must Die, the third stage musical in the Hatchetfield series.
