They say if I post an update within the year, there will be six more weeks of winter.

Twilight hasn't quite fully recovered from her little "Friendship Problem" breakdown. She's still haunted by lingering nightmares that seem to grow more disturbing as they progress. She thought she could ignore them, but what happens when the events in her dreams become a bit too real for comfort? And what happens when those dreams involve her best friends like she's never seen them before?

I think I like where this is going.:pinkiecrazy:

cover makes me think of those old metal music videos on mtv.

This is the artist for the story.

Yes, actually, I consider Rob Zombie and other metal bands an artistic influence of mine, but you should also read the graphic novels by Doug Ten Napel (The creator of Earthworm Jim). I have never seen more amazingly designed monsters.

Awesome so far. I kinda wish you'd have left in my suggestion near the beginning and have narrated it from Winona's POV, Cujo-style, but it matters little if it's already creeping bronies out.

THE MISSY waved THE STICK. She threw it. It was up to Winona to retrieve it, and Winona was a Good Girl so she would always catch THE STICK when THE MISSY threw it.

That was a harsh fate, but sure helped the ominous sense of foreboding in this story. There's only one chapter, but already I'm looking forward to seeing this entire fanfic concluded.

My friend, in a few minutes, I will parody Double Rainbow for this new chapter.

Yesss that pleases me... continue.

Yeah, I couldn't stay away.

I was very pleased with his update, not just because it meant one of the creepiest horror fics I'd ever read was continuing, but because it so easily picked back up right where it left off without making me feel like I needed to catch up. Everything that happened in the first chapter lead up to the startling discovery of a corpse. Since there was nothing at the end of that chapter to get one's memory bogged down, it's easy to jump right back into the story with the characters still sitting there discussing the aftermath.

It's also a very good idea on your part to pick characters we're familiar with as victims. Hits closer to home, makes me feel like someone I really care about may die. After Twilight's warm bonding moment with Spike, I was pretty terrified that you were about to strike Twilight where it hurt the most by making him the next victim...luckily, it looks like they're both in this together. I'm torn between how horrible it would've been to see my most-liked character get knocked off, and what a missed opportunity it would've been to deliver to Twilight such a devastating blow. Either way, the twist at the end here did a fairly good job compensating.

You really should submit this to Equestria Daily. There are quite a few errors in this update, and probably in chapter one as well (I noticed one shift in tense and the use of commas for an ellipses). But the pre-readers probably wouldn't ask you to make too many fixes before it's acceptable. With the month of October on its way, it would really be fantastic to see this get more attention.

I second this man's notion. Submit it to EqD, dude!

When I read the title, I immediately thought of the Goosebumps book.:twilightblush:

This is DARK.

Imma track this. Continue this please!
