Several stories were propositioned as potential stories for the third season of Nightmare Time though these are subject to change.

Bottle Imps[]
Bill Woodward has been chosen to test CCRP's latest and greatest product: Bottle Imps. These reality-bending buddies will bring their owner the one thing they desire most. When his new imp, Lovely, leads him to his soulmate, Bill decides to use his magical companion to play matchmaker. But to help Charlotte find the man of her dreams, Bill will have to bend the Imp's rules. Rules he's been warned, must never be broken.
Frankenruth[]
Desperate to see a naked body, Ruth Fleming and Richie Lipschitz volunteer at the morgue of St. Damian's Hospital. Their terrible plan becomes exponentially more terrible, when they become unwitting subjects in the experiments of the body-snatching madman, Doctor Lazlo, who claims to have conquered death itself. If Hatchetfield thought Ruth was bad before, then they will cower before the unspeakable horror of... Frankenruth!
Episode 2[]
Becky Barnes Climbed A Tree[]
Becky Barnes is on top of the world! Not in a literal sense, of course. She's deathly afraid of heights. After years of struggle, Becky's life is finally everything she dreamed it would be. She's engaged to her High School sweetheart, Tom Houston, and the two have a surprise baby on the way! But as the couple prepares for the arrival of Baby Marie, a shadow from Becky's past returns to haunt them.
Devil's Night[]
Tim Houston has a crush. Unfortunately, it's on his older, mature, and totally cool babysitter, Grace Chasity, who he fears will never see him as anything but a snot-nosed little kid. But when a devilish maniac with murderous designs on Grace attacks Hatchetfield the night before Halloween, Tim must protect his beloved, or join the killer's growing body count. It's another slashing adventure on the night HE came home... Devil's Night.
Episode 3[]
Miss Holloween[]
It's Halloween in Hatchetfield once again, and Miss Holloway is celebrating the same way she's done for decades, staving off the horrors that go bump in the night. But when Duke gives her an invitation to his wedding, the dejected Miss Holloway begins to chafe under the terms of a contract forged many years ago. She strikes a new bargain, but unfortunately her creditors are known for their tricks, not treats. Just as Miss Holloway gives up her powers in exchange for a mortal life, a monstrous new threat rears its ugly head. As All Hollows Eve descends, and all Hell breaks loose, Miss Holloway must save the town or die trying...for real this time.
Episode 4[]
Orbweaver[]
Lex Foster had a life once. A home. A boyfriend. Now there is only the road, and her sister, and the fear of the men who are hunting them. As Hannah Foster watches Lex sink deeper into despair, she is certain of only three things: Webby is gone. She cannot help them. They are alone.
Elsewhere, an old soldier awakens from a catatonic state. Returned from some unimaginable Hell with a mission. He knows that somewhere two magical girls need immediate evac... then maybe some coffee.
Development[]
During the creation of the first two seasons of Nightmare Time, the Lang Brothers had several stories that they had written that had not featured in the original seasons. As a result of this, a third season of the series was conceptualized with all of the stories revolving around halloween. Nightmare Time 3 was initially discussed as a potential upcoming project during the Hatchetfield Halloween Party where summaries for the six episodes were released. The season was later discussed during the A Pit Stop in Hatchetfield! Livestream as part of the Cinderella's Castle Kickstarter Campaign where scenes from Bottle Imps and Miss Holloween were read. As of April 2024, the series is not currently in production. However, should the series be made, StarKid intend for it to be recorded similar to Workin' Boys, a film but with the narrated dialogue adding additional detail.
