Apple Bloom is called out to the big barn on Nightmare Night, told she will be learning about a family tradition she did not know even existed. When she arrives, she finds there is more to Sweet Apple Acres than she would ever have expected.

Seems like they’re making a sacrifice to Grogar.

Hah, that's neat. I haven't watched past 4th season so I didn't even know Grogar existed 🤣
Now Apple Bloom, just because it’s a family tradition that doesn’t mean you have to past it down to the next generation, when Granny, Big Mac, and Applejack pass away you can start a new tradition.
I have multiple faces to make here:
That's my thought process.

I love how they don't even know what they're sacrificing to and figure it's better not to ask questions so long as it works. :)

Is it a coincidence two grim darks for the Apple family start with “Sweet Apple”?
I mean, they feed it a rabbit once a year. Good trade.

Right? I mean sure, you stay up late at night, wondering what Pony Hell is gonna be like, but other than that it's not that difficult!

Wondering what pony hell is like? Why, knowing FiM, its just tarturus 2.

I love how even with the obviousness of something being wrong, Applejack is still herself- she's the caring big sister she is and she reassures Apple Bloom that they're not killing any of fluttershys pets or the like. It's almost sweet in a weird twisted way
