If there's another halloween special, I'd like a horror movie throwback.

Really though, I just want an Alien parody. If the writers could get away with it...

Now that Hasbro wants to market to us...we just might.

Ponies in Horror movies, hm? Now I'm imagining all 4 Phantasm movies with ponies, or any of M.R. James' ghost stories substituting ponies for the characters. Unsurprisingly, things are suddenly a lot less frightening in the latter case, though I suppose Oh Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad would still retain much of the terror.

Well, they included a sodding Trainspotting reference. So why not?

Who would be the Tall Man? (Sadly, I only ever saw the first Phantasm movie)

Big Mac? Or maybe Discord. Booooooyyyyy!

Now I've got the image of Discord lobbing silver DRILL BALLS at Fluttershy's face!

What are the other Phantasm movies like btw?

Wasn't that scene with Pound Cake crawling on the ceiling a bit of a Shout Out to Alien? I have yet to see it, so I'm not sure.

Bubba Ho Tep reference? That would be funny. Granny Smith and... I dunno, some other old coot - Granny Pie? - vs. an ancient camel.

More likely a Trainspotting referance.

Edna Mode and Photo Finish: Same Person/Pony

Wait how did she even get into the story

Sky, you've never seen the original Alien? What a shame! Unless you aren't into horror movies. Nah, there weren't any points in the original Alien where it came down from the ceiling. It was a lot more claustrophobic and tense than it's sequels. That's why I generally ignore 2 and 4. 2 was fun but didn't capture the horror and I actually liked 3 despite its faults.

The other Phantasm Films are basically one part After the End and one part Cosmic Horror Story. They get really weird and insanely over-the-top. I'm not really sure how to describe them as weird. Basically in the 2nd the lead manages to escape the Tall man briefly and at the end he gets captured because his love interest was actually a silver sphere piloting a person puppet. In the 3rd, the ice cream man saves him and they go after the Tall Man who has basically done the same thing he did in the first movie to towns all over the world. The lead starts having visions of his brother who is now a sphere. He then gets captured AGAIN and we learn that he's got a golden sphere in his head. Then there's some time travel and attempts to stop the creation of the Tall Man which only result in his creation. Basically the movies continue in fever dream fashion.

I'd love a dream monster just so we could have a Nightmare On Elm Street reference

That was a serious question btw What are the Phantasm sequels like?

Hmmm...Kane's death comes to mind. I suppose Spike could do that with....something. I'm thinking out of a pile of candy.

And Dallas's death could be done by Rarity. Crawling through some pipes, minding her own business....then OOGIE BOOGIE GON GET RAPED by allegory penis monster.

...not sure why I think Spike should be a xenomorph.

Ah, ok.

I don't really like horror movies, although I think I'd enjoy Alien. I might watch it sometime.

Or a predator reference? That would make me so happy

I'd personally like a reference to The Changeling or A Turn of the Screw, or heck even The Haunting of Hill House.

Art sharing time!

Cloudsdale vs a Star Destroyer. What train of thought inspired the artist to do such a thing escapes me, but they deserve to be congratulated.

G4 version of the original My Little Pony. I thought it was interesting.

Or Hellraiser!

It's hard to come up with ideas that don't have obvious censor dodging for violent moments.

Though I would love an Arnie parody too...

Meh, I'd like generic psycho killers.

Yes!!!! Exactly. Or actually, I'd like to see some reference to classics like The Cabinet of Dr Caligari or Vampyr.

But Cenobite ponies would be simultaneously awesome and so, so depressing.

That's awfully depressing.

Alien: Never Seen

Evil Dead: Only saw the first one, fell asleep during it because it was late, and I didn't like it to boot. All it did was give us Sam and those magnificent douchebags in all three Spider-man movies.

Predator: Never Seen

Basically any geek or pop-culture pastiche related to horror: Never seen, and yes, that does mean that for years I had no idea who Jason and Freddie Kruger are until recently

Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I'll get my crucifix.

Who are Jason and Freddie?

Your homosexual next door neighbors.

Wait, I thiink problem here Mousa, was you saw the first Evil Dead which isn't funny and has notorious tree rape. Evil Dead 2 is what you should have seen, much more humor in that.

Only in the 2nd Nightmare on Elm Street.
