Sleep paralysis: a state in which one is aware, but incapable of movement or speech. It occurs when awakening or falling asleep. It is said that between eight to fifty percent of the population will experience it at some time in their life.

It is during this time that one may hear, feel, or see things that are not actually there. Beings of shadow or darkness that seem to wish to cause harm to the victim of the paralysis.

For Princess Luna, she's about to experience the horror of it all first hand.

Sweetie Belle gets a diary for her birthday. At first, it seems like it's a perfectly normal diary. As the days go on, however, she begins to realize that the Diary is anything but normal...

A small bit of horror strongly inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert Bloch.

While telling ghost stories one night, the CMC and their friends find a book in Twilight’s library detailing the description of a horrid creature that walks on two legs, has no fur, and has a flat mouth filled with teeth. Needless to say, their imagination gets the better of them.

Crimson, a street dancer down on his luck, is working as a night watch for an old tomato cannery in East Los Pegasus. So far, the past month has been uneventful; but tonight, something is wrong with the cameras and something keeps darting across the screen....

Down by the water where the sand does blow, shoreline licked by waves from below. If the sea you love and desire, ensure you stay under the suns watchful fire. Or you might by evenings light see, the trail of another appearing by thee.

- a more classical tale of horror and the sea.
