Applejack is cleaning her attic and finds an ugly mask. She offers it to Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, because they enjoy pranking ponies. Rainbow is first to arrive to check it out, and finds out there seems to be more to the mask than Applejack knew.
She has to have it, and she can't wait to try it out.

Hah. It was partial inspiration, yes.
A happy ending? Going soft on us?

Everyone likes a happy ending now and again. Horror need not depress.

I like that it ended this way. It makes sense in-universe that it could turn out the way it did. I enjoyed the whole work either way. Besides, I’m just a monumental tease.
Thank goodness for Zecora. I was hoping somepony would step in since RD was getting addicted to what she could do. Lol. Never trust a mask like that.
I liked the way this ended. Saved before things could become damaged beyond repair. I kinda had a feeling Zecora would show up when RD started chasing the stallion towards the forest. This wasn't terrifying, but still unsettling enough given magic has so many possibilities and knowing it's not good magic makes it scary in its own right.

Where were you when they were filming Pet Sematary?
