Captain Night Feather glided through the night
Seeking the prey that was just right.
Below him grew the lights of a town
And with a fanged smile he spiraled down.

Lurking in a park's trees
He saw a sight sure to please!
Dressed in costumes absurd
Were young foals in a herd!

He donned his red lined cape of black
To cover his cutie mark and back.
Under costume bat wings his real ones stowed
And his fangs he simply showed.

The vampire pony in vampony disguise
Stepped out to begin to claim his prize.
On Nightmare Night, costume as you!
The best disguise is one that's true!

There were mean pranksters who gave foals a fright
So Night Feather became their guard on this night.
The first prank pony leaped out and got brained!
Into a flask some of his blood got drained!

The foals chanted from house light to light
“Nightmare Night, what a fright! Give us something sweet to bite!
Household stallion or sweet mare
All succumbed to Night Feather's hypnotic stare.

Each for him a small flask filled
With their blood that safely rilled.
It was salty, rather than sweet,
The blood that was Night Feather's treat!

Finally the foals, all to their parties safely seen,
Night Feather spread his wings and quitted the scene.
Keeping foals safe on Nightmare Night
By taking pranker's blood just seemed right!
