** Kim Whalen gets some awesome vocal moments in season 2, notably her [[spoiler: city-saving]] solo "Run Away With Me" from "Killer Track" and her incredible high notes in "Virginity Rocks!" from "Abstinence Camp."

* ContinuityLockout: To a certain extent. The stories ''can'' certainly be enjoyed going in cold, but a ''lot'' about them is there specifically to appeal to people who know the stage shows in the "main Hatchetfield trilogy".

** The whole album's received a lot of praise after it was released, but a standout track is the TitleThemeTune of "Jane's a Car", which Mariah Rose Faith and Angela Giarratana said they've been playing nonstop in the car since they first heard it. Reviewers say is a near-perfect example of the ClassicRock DrivingSong genre it's meant as a tribute to, and that it's extremely catchy entirely aside from its context as an intro to a ''Nightmare Time'' episode.

* FanficFuel: ''Nightmare Time'' seems designed to be this -- it's arguably "fanfic" made by the original creators, as in much lower-budget SpinOff stories exploring aspects of the setting the main shows haven't, with NegativeContinuity and very much conscious of feedback from fans about what they want to see. And since every single one of these stories is in its own "timeline", they only encourage fans to come up with ways to remix existing "Hatchetfield lore" with the new elements they introduce, with plenty of tantalizing {{Noodle Incident}}s to draw from. (Why ''did'' Becky stay up a tree for two days in the Witchwood? What would happen if Paul and Emma went on a date to Watcher World, or Tom and Becky?)

** The base was broken again when Starkid took some of these fan complaints to heart and addressed them with the [=YouTube=] release of Season 1 Eps 2 and 3, which led to TheyChangedItNowItSucks (see that entry for more).

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A lot of what people found charming -- and others likewise criticized -- about the original ''Nightmare Time'' livestreams, like the stream being locked in gallery view the whole time letting you see all the actors, was borne of technical limitations from having to do the stream live with little rehearsal time.

Creator/NickLang took the opportunity to put Episodes 2 and 3 through some major editing before uploading them to [=YouTube=], addressing several fan complaints -- but likewise garnering criticism from people who ''liked'' the original livestream, warts and all. Many people in particular said they missed getting to watch all the actors' reactions while they weren't in the scene, with half the fun of the original streams being people [[InterfaceSpoiler looking at people's costumes and guessing when they'd jump in and as what character]], and watching a whole gallery of their favorite actors {{corpsing}} in response to a hilarious scene being the next best thing to attending a show with a live audience. There's also some specific SugarWiki/FunnyMoments associated with {{Blooper}}s that viewers of the original streams miss, and some controversy over whether the actual DeletedScenes were deleted for good reasons or not.

** The {{Reveal}} of the five Lords in Black in "The Witch in the Web" immediately led to a round of EpilepticTrees over what domains they rule over/represent, one of the most popular ones being linking the five brothers to the five human senses.
