It's Halloween and Sunset Shimmer and the others are looking forward to having a good time. However, when Twilight offers to make their costumes look more realistic, they get more than they bargain for when they actually transform into their costumes! Now, Sunset is the most brilliant unicorn wizard in existence, Rarity and Applejack have switched perspectives, Pinkie has become psychotic (in a bad way), Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are sporting fangs and fur, and Twilight must keep her alter-ego from reasserting itself! Can Sunset and Twilight reverse the spell before midnight when the spell becomes permanent and they all remain trapped in their altered forms forever?
My entry in the FlutterDash Contest: Nightmare Night, What A Fright!
Now has a TVTropes page.
Oh no, it's a Displaced EQG. Nah, I'm kidding. Your fic just things me of one.

Actually sorta reminds me of a Buffy the Vampire slayer episode...
To quote the great Scott McNeil, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
Oh my! This is fun and I'm hoping for some shipping goodness!
Especially with Rarity and AJ -fingers crossed- lol
8463188
Which ship are you hoping for?
8463179
That's one way to put it.
8463203
Well I'm cool with Sunlight....but my favorite ship is rarijack obviously lol xD and based on your avatar I wouldn't be surprised by some flutterdash (even if I prefer Pinkiedash myself, I'm okay with Flutterdash lol)
Dun dun dunnnnnnn!!!!
HOLY MERRY MOTHER OF JOSEF, EVERYONES GONNA DIE
If Legend of Ever free show us anything it's that Midnight Sparkle really isn't a separate entity, so Twilight will keep her sanity the longest, though her magic control might get worse.
Okay...that's interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how all this ends. Expecting a lot of really entertaining madness before the night is through.
However, Applejack's...and now Rarity's accent, apparently, is kinda painful to read. For example:
If I wrote that sentence, I probably would have written it like this:
I guess you could have been exaggerating her accent for the whole Rarity/Applejack switch thing, and if that's the case, then I'll let it slide, but I'm personally kinda tired of reading Applejack lines as if she can barely talk comprehensively. Maybe I can take tolerate the 'Ah's instead of 'I's, but her saying 'tah' instead of 'to' or 'tha' instead of 'that' just sounds strange to me.
Ah, this trope. I know of a story universe called 'Xanadu' where this trope is at the heart of it.

and soon twilight will becoem midnight again great
oh and sunset will have a beard im sure she will be thrilled with that
How do I know this story won't die after only one chapter?
8466753
Cause I intend to keep going.
And for the record, I intend to get back to every story I've started eventually.
which isn't a good lesson to be teaching kids in a show about friendship, BTW
Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie should be easy for them but Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are a different cause.
8494411
Uh, Pinkie might be more of a problem than you think. Remember who she was dressed as?
8494511
Even crazy has a kink side.
Only way for Sci-Twi to ignore Midnight is think of something she loves like books, Spike's adorable moments, or Sunset Shimmer.
When Twilight first hears Midnight my only thought was "she stuck with you even if the spell is reversed", not that as OCD as Twilight is she wouldn't imagine it different.
I'm not sure how, but you messed up the bold but accidentally fixed it...
8512203
Didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll fix it immediately.
Oops!
Oooooh I hope AJ and Rares remember everything after the spell is reversed xD lmao

8514325
I'm still also holding out hope for rarijack lmao :P xD
I can't wait to see FlutterDash happen!
8521440
It's coming today!

Perfect timing for Halloween or Nightmare Night

Actually, it’s a wonderful lesson to teach in a kids show about friendship. She tried something all her friends liked and didn’t like it, AND THEY ARE ALL STILL FRIENDS. It taught the lesson that you don’t have to like all the things your friends do, and you don’t have to try and force yourself to do something you hate just to make your friends happy.

Even rainbow dash attended that stupid butterfly migration for her but Fluttershy refuses to do the horrible act of "putting on a costume and hanging out with friends for one day" (gasp) cause she "scared of it", aside from obvious signs she is giving into asocial tendenciesdidn't they have an entire episode telling the hat was the whole point of the holiday, gimme a break, for every step forward she has made in in the past season, forfeiting from an entire holiday was the biggest step backward you can take, she's arguably more secluded now than she was before
What's next? Deciding not to go to birthday parties because finding a gift is too stressful? Deciding not to celebrate New Years because it's too noisy? Gimme a break
8522410
also what irks me about all this is that she deals with "frightening" creatures associated with Halloween such as spider, bats, wolves and so forth on almost a daily basis but when put up as a decoration on someone's house it's suddenly terrifying to her?
WHAT DID PINKIE DO TO LYRA AND BON-BON THAT REQUIRED THEM, AND I QUOTE, "sharing a full-body cast"?! I'M TOO CURIOUS TO LET THAT GO!

8523831
STOP BEING CRYPTIC, FAUST DAMMIT! I NEED TO KNOW!
nicely done; also:
wait: the SECOND biggest bat that RARITY has ever seen?!
well, they DO say that there's a fine line between love and hate...
8523846
Uh, I'd tell you, if I knew what she did myself.
8523851
In regards to the first comment, it's a classic joke. Beside, I doubt Rarity has seen a giant bat. The spell made her act like Applejack, remember?
Also, glad you liked that little bit regarding Fluttershy and Rainbow suddenly being all over each other. Also, thanks for quoting it, It made me realize I had a writing error I needed to fix.
Overall, glad you liked the story!
8523877
Ah, it is one of those situations. I understand. The Pink works in mysterious, implied-to-be-disturbing ways.
nicely done; also:
8524024
That's what I wrote that part.
I know.
8524537
fair enough...
8523434
You gotta share, you gotta care! 
Midnight, now don't you go take over Twilight again, it didn't end well last time, and this is NO time to mount a coup on Twilight's consciousness!
My lord, the strongest part about this one was the comedy. Don't get me wrong, the flutterdash romance and the brief mentions of fluff were aweosme- they always are. But sir, you had me chuckling with every chapter. If I'd been a judge in that last contest, this would have been one of my top 3.
We're lucky Sunset didn't get Starswirl's personality from the season 7 finale.
8524024
just thought of something else:
first off, I'll admit it:
that was pretty funny; secondly, I WOULD ask why Rarity considers this to be cruel, but we've already seen at least part of the answer elsewhere; and lastly, is this possible foreshadowing I see?
9126655
No, just a funny gag.
9127176
(nods) fair enough
Why do I see a "Power Ponies" snafu in the future?
9153826
Actually, I never really thought of that. Interesting idea.
