On the night before Nightmare Night, Pinkie's week long visit to her sisters, Inkie and Blinkie, outside of Nowhere, Equestria is nearing a close. With their parents out of town, they have the farmhouse all to themselves, and Pinkie is ready for an epic farewell party. Yet at this time every year, spooky things tend to happen in Nowhere... when the fog rolls high in the eventide.
And is this the only reason Pinkie's sisters wish her to leave early?
~Meant to be spooky, not gross and gore-filled. No, you don't need to know anything about Courage the Cowardly Dog to enjoy this. Come yonder! Any 'crossover' characters are ponified - as in - having existed in Equestria since birth.

Looks like I've got another story to look forward to
The things I do for love
3292462
yes, just yes
Slendermane, huh? Rip his fucking tendrils off, Courage!
3292470
I will stop him if my name isn't tinkle mc carry nubs and its not

Ummmm RETURN THE SLAB OR SUFFER MY CURSE
Only two things left to say *clears throat* return the slab or suffer my curse and STUPID DOG YOU MADE ME LOOK BAD! BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!!
I'm sorry to say this but the first thing that came to mind when i read the description was this
"Inkie? Blinkie?"
"Thought processing...................................................................................processing complete"
Pac-Man!!!!!
Yes! this site needs more creepy scary fics and less gory sickening fics
3292619
Agreed.............................
3292557 thats what im thinking too
3292557That's because Inkie, Blinkie, Pinkie and Clyde are the Pacman ghosts. They are also the fan names for the Pie clan
Their official names aren't Inkie and Blinkie. Their real names have been revealed already in one of the written books for the series. Just thought I'd point that out.
3292518 -Muriel comes in with roller- "*KONK* OW! What did I do?"
WOW, this is a great first chapter, I am hooked and want more.....as long as it isn't going to be a bloody gory story with death or something.
OOOoooooouuuuuwwwwwwww!!!! *Eyes pops out*

Na, I hate gore stories. They just aren't scary to me.
Perfect for Halloween coming soon
MY CHILD HOOD. But seriously great story and you managed to pull off this (somewhat) crossover off very well so far
3292990 Well then, I'm going to favorite and follow this. I do like creepy but not pure horror.
needs more creepy!
Right when I got to the picture of the stairs, "I have begun my ascent" started playing.
It actually scared me
I totally read that description in the voice of the guy who reads the intro.
My god. That nostalgia.
The first two things I thought of when I saw the story were the pac-man ghosts, and the ghost people from fallout new vegas with the creepy glowing eyes in the deserted casino, and they don't die unless chopped up.
This story made my night.
The pictures were great too. But there are 2 things that'd be amazing. The asshole asian. (Watch where ya goin ya fool!) And the Hindu doctor.
3292518 Objection! Eustace only says Ooga Booga Booga! (or something along those lines if I remember right)
Oh the nostalgia... let's see if Courage's massive lung capacity can shatter anything in Equestria
That or maybe something jumping out of him again
Edit: After reading
Oh come on! I'm sound if I scared you before
Your... adorable shyness will sooth any monsters down there
1. Sorry.
2. Soothe.
And now, the fun... begins.
Interesting history, perfect for the month and a hit right in the nostalgia, but i think i found a little mistake:
Almost sure it should be ponies instead of people
I like Inkie and Blinkie waaaaay better than their new canon names!

And Now It Is...

The Cowardly Dog Show, starring Courage, the cowardly dog!!
Courage x MLP
I like this trend of crossovers. Now all we need is SWAT Kats and Voltron and we've got a complete set of the old CN shows that are easily done....
Stupid horse, you make me look bad! aboogabooga!
Pretty spooky, not bad. Protip, though: Having the monster speak makes it considerably less scary. And this early on, you really shouldn't reveal much about the threat at all.
Horror is mainly about tricking the audience into scaring themselves by forcing them to use their imagination. Whatever they imagine is usually worse than anything you actually throw at them.

Our evil plan is working...
*rubs hooves together diabolically*
Pinkie, Blinkie, and Inkie? Where's Clyde?
Okay, this is actually great. And the atmosphere is like the Courage the Cowardly Dog cartoon. Love it!

Pinkie grew exasperated, "Look, Mr. Creepy Voice, if you can't be bothered to learn Equestrian, then I really don't have time for this!"
3292990 Yeah, gore is just shock value. Or a fetish... which is much more creepy than the gore itself.
So is sexual assault by demons and stuff, like "Rosemary's Baby". I found that movie to be ridiculously over-rated. Frankly, I could only stand watching snippets of it because everything about it was just... grating and annoying, I think it the best way I can phrase it.
Like, it's supposed to be scary because SATAN and cultists. Blah.
There is an old maxim that comes from the best of horror: That which is unseen if far more terrifying than what is.
Dude I fucking loved Courage
I probably shouldn't be reading this at night with the lights out
O...k the whole "aren't you cold?" thing is making me think of The Lich from Adventure Time.
-Rubs chin and nods head- I like it.
Really good story, I loved Courage as a kid and I look forward to reading more of this! You've made Blinkie and Inkie very likeable and cute, and Pinkie's character is pretty spot on! I also love the pictures you've added in, very creepy and they fit very well! Great job!
I'm sorry I have to be the one to tell you all that this story is cancelled. See here for specifics.
