The Mane Six, Starlight, and Trixie are on their way to a party in Canterlot on a dark and stormy night...so naturally their carriage breaks down and their only possible place to seek shelter is a scary, potentially haunted castle.
Will they survive the night?
INTENDED for this to go up on Nightmare Night, but life decided to say 'nope, you don't get to put that out when you want to', but finally finished.
I admit, this is NOT a type of story I normally do, hope it came out well.

Chapters (1)
Somehow, the ending doesn't feel like a copout.
I still like how it was that blowhard Trixie who got away alive.
Of course she'd have some 'splainin to do back in Ponyville.
“Huh?” Rainbow asked...right as a zompony pegasus flew right at her, mouth open and ready to bite down on her. She dove down and flew back up, slamming into it hard enough into its chest to shatter it into dust and bones, sending its head flying into the air. “Hah! Gonna have to try harder than that to get me!” she exclaimed proudly...right as the head fell back down and landed on her shoulder, biting down hard. “OW!”
I love this, it reminds me of a scene I once saw in an Italian zombie movie. A zombie head -- just the head, hides in a fridge. And when someone opens it the head jumps out in the worst SFX shot imaginable and bites the poor guy in the throat.

Ken went to a LOT of trouble to subtly foreshadow the ending.

The movie might be Dellamorte Dellamore, quite a good b-movie.
I kind of hope we'll eventually get a prequel detailing some of those hypnosis sessions between Starlight and Trixie.
If I had the money, I'd commission it myself.
