[[WMG:The undead Workin' Boys were a creation of Pokey]]

Starlight Theater has been established as one of the five Black Altars, and the eerie blue lighting and VoiceOfTheLegion effects are certainly emblematic of Pokotho.

* Corey's remark about it not really being ''Workin' Boys'' is now, seemingly, an allusion to the fact that Hidgens is forced to change it to ''Workin' Girls''.

* [[spoiler:Confirmed. While it's nothing so formal as a sacrifice, Hidgens does indeed snap, have some hallucinations, and massacre the cast.]]

[[WMG: ''Workin' Boys'' was always meant as one big BaitAndSwitch.]]

It's been made clear that the RealLife short film ''Workin' Boys'' will ''not'' be an actual portrayal of the ShowWithinAShow from ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'', which was invented to be [[StylisticSuck an absurdly bad idea for a musical]], and the description for the short film is that it's named after ''Workin' Boys'' because it's about Prof. Hidgens' quest to get ''Workin' Boys'' produced at the Starlight Theater.

However, Corey Dorris, on the ''WebVideo/NightmareTime'' Season One talkback Livestream, let slip that "It's not really ''Workin' Boys''" -- something Nick Lang quickly shushed him about. This ''might'' just mean what was said above -- that the film won't be a three-hour-long snoozefest that takes place in RealTime [[BottleEpisode confined to the location of a football field]] -- but it could have a deeper meaning.

It would be tough to pull off, but it wouldn't be surprising at this point, considering how much Nick Lang enjoys shocking plot twists and {{Wham Episode}}s, for ''Workin' Boys'' to suddenly swerve away from the ostensible plot about Prof. Hidgens' theatrical ambitions and reveal itself to be a major WhamEpisode in the Hatchetfield MythArc, maybe even one involving some kind of meta twist that retroactively changes the title of the movie that it's in.

[[WMG: Hidgens will turn out to be the villain of ''Workin' Boys'']]

It's already been made very clear, after his FaceHeelTurn in ''TGWDLM'' and his ''worse'' one in "The Hatchetfield Ape-Man", that there's something not right with the lad. The plot we've been given about him trying to stage ''Workin' Boys'' with very little budget or experience or connections -- finding a venue, hiring crew and casting actors, etc. -- could turn into something both more supernatural and more sinister, especially as the frustration of ''Workin' Boys''' impending failure turns him AxCrazy again. Dollars to donuts the final fate of the cast of ''Workin' Boys'' he's gathered is to be some kind of mass HumanSacrifice.
