Nightmare Night, what a fright! It's Halloween, the spookiest time of the year, and while our pony friends tend to stay very much on the cute and cuddly side of things, they've been known to dish out a couple of scares of their own from time to time. So in honor of Nightmare Moon, let's count down the creepiest moments this show has to offer.
Get spooked after the break!
10. The Slender Pony Cometh
When you see it...
9. Creepy Chrysalis
Nope nope nope nope nope nope. So much nope.
When Chrysalis made her big comeback in To Where and Back Again, she did so in a manner that reminds us just how horrifying she really is. I mean, she's already an insane parasitic bug monster with a body full of gaping holes, but this? The way she crawls around on the ceiling, limbs bet at unnatural unnatural angles, and spinning her head around a full 360 degrees is something straight out of Japanese horror like The Grudge or The Ring. Definitely one of the more unsettling moments in this show's animation.

Aaah what the hell?! The hell is that? Okay, that's messed up. Did I save the wrong picture or something when I... Wait, what? Is that... is it dictating me right now? I didn't even know blogger could do that. How do I turn this off? Agh, come on it won't even let me delete it. Ugh, guess I'm gonna have to trash this and rewrite it from the beginning.
Oh come on! Why is it all still there? And it's still doing the thing! Do I have to clear my entire history or- Wait...
My mic isn't even plugged in. So how is it

When Angel Bunny. Was asked by Fluttershy to scare her friends. He played a trick on Apple Jack by telling her that her grandmother was dead. This was very frightening, because you did not suspect something like this could happen.
There are many things you do not suspect.
Ha ha... the portal to equestria. That was always the joke, wasn't it? "The real world sucks, let's go and live with the ponies instead." It sounded so nice.
But we didn't know.
How could we have known? Known what would really be waiting for us on the other side? That paralyzing, unspeakable truth that our screens mercifully filtered out. Ha ha ha. The fourth wall, we used to call it. Who could have suspected what would actually be there when it was finally broken. We didn't know. Ha ha, Gods below, we didn't know!
But it's too late now. Too late for me. For us all.
I know.
I wanted to know and I now know and I now wish I could not know. How did the old song go again? I used to wonder what friendship could be...
