You know the one thing that I am trying to figure out is one of the genres in my potential stories and that is horror. Many of the other categories I could easily through our six heroines in but it’s hard coming up with some jumping off points for the scary franchise. Anybody have any ideas?
Honestly I thought it was a pretty random choice to make a 'Horror' column for this series. Unless all those threads were made by "you" personally, Double E., I feel like they were just randomly put together for the sole purpose in that they are a variety of cinema. Now the A.F.I. didn't do much in terms of a Top 10 Horror films during the time they did those specials, but I'm sure there was a few who made the 100 Movies list (On two of them, I think).
7081500 When I put this group together and started doing the different folders for different genres, I wanted to add a little of everything. Plus I have seen a few MLP horror docs on this site so I know it can work. When I first added the horror genre there was one that came to mind that broke box office records when it debuted.
7081671 Most of it was indeed based on actual events, even though Hollywood did take certain liberties with the story. But yeah, given the popularity of 'The Conjuring' movies, someone was bound to take a shot at those films.

7082120 Yeah it always has the based on true events tagline but if we are gonna do horror can we not have it have the ones where everyone dies like found footage of the saw series
7082134 Well, absolutely not. We cannot afford to kill off 'any' of the Mane Six, not even Spike. Sure they have made a few 'questionable' decisions during the later seasons, some reverting to their Season One ways. But that automatically doesn't mean we should 'condemn' them for those acts just because we want some 'pony' to blame for their actions or exploit out of their own downfalls (Sadly, that's how the world is: Blaming, following, exploiting, authority, whatever). I mean SURE there are 'tons' of FanFics that won't hesitate to kill off some ponies because it's fanfiction... But is it the 'right' thing for everyone else?
It came to me mostly because that was the first horror movie I ever saw and because it is considered one of the most famous hauntings in America. The move itself broke box office records
In a way, we can see why fans call it a 'rival' for Alien but definitely taking a more military vibe and Earth setting. This is no girls movie by any means (Even though there's one female character in the group). The method to deal with this 'Predator' is not going to be sunshine and unicorns. We're talking about a creature who thrives for the ultimate hunt, taking on those that it deems an imposing threat. It's not a creature that hunts for food or to take over the planet, it just wants to prove it's the ultimate hunter.
Hmm... Just because there's promise to do that movie, ultimately it's the boss who ultimately makes the decisions on which movies to do. While the original 'Thing' is indeed a classic, with unpredictable moments at the time, I'm a little uneasy about getting the ponies into these situations. We'll just have to play it by year.
'Technically' Goosebumps is not really straight forward 'Horror' despite the ghosts, monsters, and supernatural elements. In some ways, it's like a 'Dark Comedy' with horror elements as while there are plenty of scares to go around there is some light hearted moments to maintain a sense of balance. In a way, the best I can describe it is... 'Tales From the Crypt' or 'The Twilight Zone' for kids.

7081454
What about alien? They can't simply blast the creature especially with its blood acid
7081456
That one is certainly in the wheel house for things I may do down the road. Thank you for the suggestion
7081457
Welcome
7081457
What do you mean a wheel house of things?
The Shining
The Exorcist
The Hannibal Lector Films
A Quiet Place
The Purge Franchise
Jaws
7081460
All very wonderful ideas thank you
7081460
Not bad choices
7081459
It’s an expression meaning that it’s stores in my vault of ideas
7081463
Ahh get it now
7081461
You’re welcome.
7081457
Would a horror come after Scooby doo
7081462
Thanks.
7081467
Welcome
7081466
Hard to say exactly what would come after that these for right now are ideas for future stories
7081487
Fair enough
7081460
Doctor Sleep
7081490
Another good film.
M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable Trilogy

Saw

The Conjuring
7081600
The Conjuring huh... Well, I've never seen the movie myself but why not? Could be a learning experience.
7081655
Yeah that was the first horror movie I ever saw. Scared me to death almost. Thing I like most about it...it’s real
7081671

Now you are REALLY starting to push it, Mr. Ribbert.
But whatever Double E. decides, it is his decision and his alone.
7082132
Sorry typo i ment not have wouldn't have the main 6 did in horrible ways and in where everyone dies
7082134
Well, absolutely not. We cannot afford to kill off 'any' of the Mane Six, not even Spike.

7082138
Not really
7081600
Not a bad choice what made you think that one for the main 6 and Spike what would you like to do it you chose the conjuring
It came to me mostly because that was the first horror movie I ever saw and because it is considered one of the most famous hauntings in America. The move itself broke box office records
7082263
Make sense
7082263
Well we'll just see if eventually this movie makes the list at the right time.
7081454
interested in doing this?
'Predator' huh?

Hey can he do these movies for Halloween:
Please?
P.S, when he’s writing the next adventure, maybe he could combine both movies so that it may make sense (prequel before movie).
Hmm... Just because there's promise to do that movie, ultimately it's the boss who ultimately makes the decisions on which movies to do. While the original 'Thing' is indeed a classic, with unpredictable moments at the time, I'm a little uneasy about getting the ponies into these situations. We'll just have to play it by year.
I can think of one idea here
Terminator
I wouldn't say 'The Terminator' is a horror movie, even taking into account of the first movie. In a way, it's more like an action-suspense movie.
I wonder if he could add Krampus?
7096767
The ending is too depressing
7096845
ouch
7096852
We are looking for horror where sometimes it work out at the end
7096858
There’s the Goosebumps movies
7096871
That could work
