💫 StarKid Returns Store

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 4,698 Backers have helped us reach our initial BackerKit goal of $275,000!!! We can't thank you enough for your support, and we can't wait to make a new season of projects for all of you! With your help, StarKid is returning in a big way! ALSO, by hitting that $275K benchmark, you've unlocked another ‘Nerdy Prudes Must Die’ casting reveal! This time, we’re proud to announce that Jon Matteson will be returning to the Hatchetfield series in the role of Richie Lipschitz! The geekiest of geeks, the bottom rung of Hatchetfield High’s social ladder.


When a supernatural killer starts hunting the nerdy prudes at Hatchetfield High, Richie and a cast of social rejects must band together to save themselves, the school, and the world! Jon joins previously announced Bryce Charles (as Detective Shapiro), Joey Richter (as Peter Spankoffski), Lauren Lopez (as Ruth Fleming), Mariah Rose Faith (as Stephanie Lauter), Angela Giarratana (as Grace Chasity), and Corey Dorris (as Mayor Solomon Lauter).

As we're still in the process of casting 'Nerdy Prudes,' this will be the last cast member reveal before our Hatchetfield livestream this weekend, but we've still got lots of tricks n' treats in store for you! Remember, the initial BackerKit goal is just the base budget we’ll need to produce everything we’ve got planned for StarKid Returns. The more money we raise, the better all the projects can be!

So please join us in trying to push that total as high as we can during 'NERDY PRUDES MUST LIVESTREAM! A Hatchetfield Halloween Party.' Tomorrow (Sunday, Oct 9 @ 12pm PT), we'll be hosting an 8 HOUR Hatchetfield-themed livestream, where we'll look back at the series thus far, and take a peek at some upcoming installments ('Nerdy Prudes,' 'Workin' Boys,' and more). We'll be answering questions, addressing theories, showcasing fan art, reading a NEW Nightmare Time story (called 'Hey, Melissa!'), rewatching 'Abstinence Camp,' and deciding once a for all who is the deadliest person in Hatchetfield (in the 'Hatchetfield Death Match')! And along the way, you'll be able to unlock song demos for those upcoming HF projects ('Nerdy Prudes,' 'Workin' Boys,' etc) by hitting new BackerKit fundraising benchmarks. These are brand new songs and you'll be the first to hear them! It's sure to be a frightfully good time, so tune in on YouTube by clicking here (and check out the description for the full schedule of events). We hope to see you there!

ALSO, stay tuned for some campaign stretch goals! We’ll be announcing those very soon, so keep your eyes peeled. Again, thanks so much for backing the StarKid Returns campaign. We couldn't do what we do without all of you. And thanks for spreading the word! We’ve got one week left, and lots more planned! Let's do what we can to get that BackerKit total as high as possible so ALL our upcoming projects can be as amazing as possible! And, once again... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

"The box! You opened it! We have such sights to show you!" - Hellraiser (and Team StarKid). Congrats! By helping us reach $272,000, you’ve unlocked another ‘Nerdy Prudes Must Die’ casting reveal! We’re honored and overjoyed to announce that Bryce Charles will be returning to the Hatchetfield series for her first LIVE StarKid Production! For 'Nerdy Prudes,' she'll be playing Detective Shapiro! Homicide Investigator for the H.F.P.D.

When a ghostly killer starts hunting the nerdy prudes at Hatchetfield High, Detective Shapiro is on the case! She'll lead the investigation into this series of supernatural murders plaguing her tiny town. Bryce joins previously announced Joey Richter (as Peter Spankoffski), Lauren Lopez (as Ruth Fleming), Mariah Rose Faith (as Stephanie Lauter), Angela Giarratana (as Grace Chasity), and Corey Dorris (as Mayor Solomon Lauter). We’ve got one more ‘Nerdy Prudes’ casting reveal to share when the campaign reaches its initial goal of $275K, so keep it up! Spread the word! Up your pledge (if you can)! Help us reach that base budget!

Remember, the initial BackerKit goal is just the beginning! It's the minimum amount we’ll need to produce everything we’ve got planned for StarKid Returns. But the more money we raise, the better all the projects can be! When we reach that initial goal, we'll start talking about stretch goals, reward tier add-ons, and all that goodness! So thanks for backing the campaign! Your contribution helps support all the wonderful artists who make these projects possible. We’ve got about one week left, so let's push that funding total as high as we can!

Holy cannoli! You've reached $269,000 on the BK campaign, and unlocked the next 'Nerdy Prudes Must Die' casting announcement! This time, we’re delighted to share that Joey Richter will be taking on the role of that obnoxious teen, Peter Spankoffski! You've seen him try to escape Abstinence Camp. Now watch Ted's little brother take on a supernatural bully with a grudge against nerds! 



When a sinister force starts hunting the biggest geeks at Hatchetfield High, Pete must join his fellow losers for a fight to the finish! Joey joins previously announced Lauren Lopez (as Ruth Flemming), Mariah Rose Faith (as Stephanie Lauter), Angela Giarratana (as Grace Chasity), and Corey Dorris (as Mayor Solomon Lauter).

Congrats on reaching this milestone! Now keep it up, cuz the next ‘Nerdy Prudes’ cast member will be revealed at $272K!  Then it's on to that $275K goal! We're so close to the finish/starting line, because remember: the initial BackerKit goal is just the base budget we’ll need to produce everything we’ve got planned for StarKid Returns! The more money we raise, the better all the projects can be! Thanks for backing the campaign and keep spreading the word! We’ve got about a week left, so let's finish strong!

We're getting into the home stretch, folks! We're now at over $266K raised by 4500 backers, and we're 96% of our way to our base BackerKit goal! Once we hit that goal, we'll be able to bring you all the StarKid Returns projects we've been so excited about. But that's just the beginning! Which is why we we're preparing to release some more casting with some new milestones!

Who might these next 3 performers be?? And what characters will they play??? Get us to our initial goal to find out!

And then, of course there's the Big question... do you think we can unlock these 3 cast members before our Nerdy Prudes Must Livestream on Sunday?? StarKids: assemble!

If you were there, thanks for tuning to the 'Jangle Ball Tour Holiday Party Livestream!' If you couldn’t make it, no worries. You’ve still won the door prize: another ‘Jangle Ball’ tour date/city reveal! We're thrilled to announce that on Sunday, December 4th, StarKid’s coming to Irving Plaza in New York City!

We’ll share information about ticket sales as soon as we can. We’ve got more stops on the Jangle Ball Tour to announce. Not to mention upcoming news about campaign stretch goals, reward tier add-ons, project casting, and more! We’ll have more updates over the next few days, so check back often. 

And though we’re still working out exact details, we can let you know that we’ll be hosting another livestream next Sunday (October 9) 12-8pm pt, so save the date! This time we’ll be taking a trip to Hatchetfield for a very Halloween-y celebration: ‘Nerdy Prudes Must Livestream!’ More info to come, so stay tuned!
