Unhinged Hatchetverse Theory: Chad is actually Max Jagerman’s father

Chad dated Hidgens in college, but broke off the relationship due to his internalized homophobia, and because Hidgens is a theater nerd. He later married his wife and had Max, but his wife found out about his past and left. Chad hasn’t fully moved on from his college days like Hidgens, and pushes for Max to be a football star like he was, living his glory days through his son. He also goes on long rants to Max about how this nerd ruined his life, causing Max’s hatred for nerds and his bullying.

But hey that’s just a theory… a HATCHETFIELD THEORY

So, you know how tinky's whole thing is time travel and he says he wants the full set of Spankoffski brothers? - What if Pizza Pete... is actually Pete Spankoffski? Like, Tinky transports Pete to before the time split and like Ted, he's homeless at first, but he's a lot more resourceful than Ted and he sets up this tiny pizza business that eventually grows into Pizza Pete's. He builds a life for himself and he makes decent money - he's not happy though. He'll never be with Steph.

Imagine modern day Pete and Steph going to Pizza Pete's on a date and Steph decides they have to leave because the manager won't stop staring at her, but she doesn't realise it's because she was his best friend once - and she's still the thing he treasures above all else.

Mashing together this theory and another one (but I can’t find it for the life of me) where Grace is the reason NPMD happens, more specifically that the Lords In Black have a hold of Grace before the plot even sets in motion.

First piece of ‘evidence’ is the whole Dirty Girl scene. The whole thing is a sexual fantasy which Grace doesn’t even realize is happening until halfway through: “Max Jägerman? What are you doing in my bathroom?” And the fact that he’s wearing a crucifix which sorta seems out of character for him, but fits what I imagine Grace sees as the ‘ideal version’ of Max.

But also, she is woken up from her bath fantasy by her dad, meaning it was more of a dream than a ‘daydream’. Also, she holds her hand up in confusion as if she didn’t know she was doing that in the first place??? Very sus

Next piece is more the vibe of her character the whole musical. (Keep in mind I haven’t watched any of the Nightmare Time episodes so I don’t know much about Abstinence Camp but I’ve heard some stuff about her being unhinged there as well. Still, my theory is specifically about Grace in NPMD.)

Anyway, it seems really weird that this girl is clinging to the idea of being pure and not a sinner (she wouldn’t even let Max hold her books because ‘she’s only 18’, seeing that as being a step toward her and Max being “in carnal embrace”) and here she is lying to her family, lying to the police, stealing a gun, and cursing at God. Also also, SHE DISMEMBERED AND HID A DEAD FUCKING BODY. And lying is the sin she’s worried about? Talk about one fucked up moral compass lol.

And my last piece is the summoning. This one is a two parter cause there’s a couple things happening here. First is the actual summoning part. When Grace, Steph, and Pete are on the floor, they look pretty terrified and confused, but right before the Lords in Black show up, Grace makes a face of either pain or discomfort which is very different from Steph and Pete’s terror. Grace is literally wincing and curling in on herself. Just something me and a few other people noticed.

And the second part of the summoning is Blinky. He literally says that they’ve been watching her and they know all the bad things she’s done. Isn’t that kinda weird that the Lord’s in Black have taken an interest in Grace and ‘haven’t done anything about it’? Between Wiggly and Pokey, they love getting involved in their little shenanigans in Hatchetfield but this time they just sat back and did absolutely nothing? I don’t think so.

Anyway, maybe I’m delusional and none of that makes any sense or I’m a damn genius lol. I would love to hear your thoughts on this about whether or not it works!

Also here’s the link to one of the theories I saw:

hatchet verse theory: the senses

spoilers for nightmare time and the mainline plays

Okay, let’s fucking go, I think that the lords in black correlate to the 5 main human senses

disclaimer: I have no idea if someone has made this theory before and it still needs some work

Nibbly: Nibbly is very obvious, Nibbly is taste. Being the LiB’s glutton he eats people alive and has a giant lollipop in NPMD.

Blinky: Blinky is also obvious, Blinky is sight. Blinky’s entire thing is watching. His shit in Watcherworld is all about getting an entertaining show. Also in NPMD he has a phone likely referencing the all seeing nature of social media as referenced in Watcherworld

Pokey: Pokey is just a little harder to place, however Pokey is hearing, he started the musical apocalypse.

Wiggly: this one is a fucking stretch but I think Wiggly is touch because of the constant references of his squishy belly and soft fur

Tinky: the problem child, I have no clue how Tinky could connect to the last remaining sense of smell

if you have any additional things to mention please say them, this theory is hardly on its legs here and I need to either build it up or knock it the hell over.
