Not long after her release back into the general population of Ponyville, Screw Loose vanishes without a trace. During a search of her home one week after she was last seen, a video recording of her apparent final hours is found. A video explaining that she was being hunted by creatures which evaded sight. A video intended as a warning.

Spike can't wait to read the hottest new horror book on the market: Insomnia: Realm of Nightmares, and he's beyond ecstatic to finally get the chance, only to have his hopes dashed when Twilight tells him no. Now embittered and mad, he goes behind her back and finds a way to read the book without her knowing. But, as he would soon find out, Twilight was right when she took it away, for now, he starts seeing all kinds of horrible things brought on by what he saw in those pages. As his fears get the best of him and he begins to see things that aren't there, he'll have to face the consequences as his fears come to life and as his world devolves into a nightmare.

This story is a sequel to The Truth Behind My Little Pony

Sweetie Belle is invited by Twilight Sparkle to the decrepit castle in the Everfree to see if they can't find any other spell books, and Sweetie wouldn't lose such an opportunity. Unfortunately, she gets lost after a brief distraction and can't find her way back. The more she panics, the scarier and more twisted the trees started to become, and the more Sweetie starts to see things coming from the bark that disappear when she looks at them directly.

Psychological Horror
I fancy this as the theme of the story.
There are hidden symbols in here explaining what is happening. Can you find and decipher the hidden story?

After becoming trapped in a cave, the CMC must find their way out.

Loosely inspired by Ted's Caving Page.

In the wake of another hedonistic sleepover, the Cutie Mark Crusaders wile away the last of their weekend lounging about the clubhouse, reading comics, listening to music and stuffing their faces with junk food. However, their after party revelries come to a screeching halt when an unscheduled rainstorm rolls into Ponyville that turns creatures into twisted nightmares. There is much they don't know about the situation but one thing is clear: never touch the rain. Now stranded without adults by a storm seemingly without end, the three must try to survive in a leaky shelter on nothing but the leftovers of their sleepover aftermath. As the waters continue to rise, the status of Ponyville or even the Apple family, just yards away, remains unknown.

A comfy horror story based on childhood memories of rain, floods, parties and classic kids' games spawned from overactive imaginations.

Granny finally admitted to Apple Bloom that Bright Mac and Pear Butter were just "missing". So she's taking things into her own hooves, with the help of her two crusader friends of course! The three brew a "Finding Spell" that will lead them to her long-lost parents at last, but she might not be completely prepared for what awaits her at the end of her journey...
