Let's Review: Night of the Living Apples

Happy Halloween, everyone! In honor of All Hallow's Eve, let's look back at a two-parter story.

The ponies have faced their fair share of enemies, both frightening and strange. But a swarm of warmongering apples? That'll cause Applejack and family some issues.

Check out the full review after the break, but beware. Spoilers can be rotten to the core.

New "Haunting in Equestria" Book Announces From Tails of Equestria

Tails of Equestria has announced a new book for their My Little Pony RPG series called "Haunting in Equestria". The exact description:

Imagine a world in which Princess Celestia failed to defeat her sister. Imagine a world where a sinister reflection of Princess Luna stands victorious, and Equestria lies in darkness. This is the realm of shadow, a parallel world, a separate dimension from the Equestria we know and love.
On a certain Nightmare Night, when Ponyville is full of celebration, a bridge to this realm is opened, and the shadows set their sights on the world of light.

Their official release will be some time in November, with pre-orders opening at midnight tonight over here.

Thanks to Arcadia for sending it.

Top Ten Scares in Friendship is Magic

Nightmare Night, what a fright!  It's Halloween, the spookiest time of the year, and while our pony friends tend to stay very much on the cute and cuddly side of things, they've been known to dish out a couple of scares of their own from time to time.  So in honor of Nightmare Moon, let's count down the creepiest moments this show has to offer.

Get spooked after the break!

Editorial: My Relatable Pony: Trixie

It’s Showtime! This pony is the master of all that dazzles. With an ego the size of a small planet, Trixie can turn any misstep into a cunning display of magical genius! Or at least that’s what she advertised.

If you think you can match Trixie’s greatness, then step right up and please do crowd. You are about to have your minds opened to just how amazingly similar you and the Great and Powerful Trixie can be (remember that Trixie is, of course, a tad more greater and powerful-er than you).

Feed Me with Your Heart

Nightmare Night is amazing, and this sounds like a Disney Song or something. It's always good to see some new Ponyphonic in the submit box.

Go FEED with Chrysalis below!

Ponify the Classics! - This is Nightmare Night

It's NIGHTMARE NIGHT! Which is also Trixie Day, who we will focus more on as the day goes on, I promise. For now, get some ponified Nightmare Before Christmas because it's the best movie.

Comic: Costume / Holiday Rebuke / Thrill / Corman Month Conclusion / Outfield 8 / AoS 3:1

Now that is one way to get a reaction for your costume on Nightmare Night! Sure, Ponyville is now in a panic, but I think Pinkie and RD would appreciate the prank.

Comics guys, get them after the break!

25 Trixie Songs to Listen to for Trixie Day!

Triiiixie has arrived with a pack of awesome tracks to rock out to all day long. Hopefully you are doing that. She demands it.

Get them all below!

Drum & Bass Music: Tripon - Stone Giants / bank pain - Breaking Of Dawn (Hay Tea & EPT Remix)

We've got some new drum & bass tunes here! First up Tripon delivers a heavy and hard-hitting experience that is inspired by his own personal head-canon of Applejack and Rainbow Dash facing off against some giant creatures of stone in a dark cavern. The neuro sound design is impeccable from him. And secondly we've a smooth and slightly more melodic rolling remix of bank pain's awesome Breaking Of Dawn from Hay Tea, with a bit of help from yours truly. Check them both out below!

Trixie Day - Discussion and Her FUTURE!

Adorable almost all the time, Trixie has clearly grown in the hearts of the majority of the fandom. Those who still find it in their bones to dislike her are the types that will dislike anything. How can you hate that face? It's impossible.

She's Starlight's bestie, but where will we go from here? Are we looking at a future of Great and Powerful side stories in season 9? Another plot where she drives Starlight crazy? Or will the show end with a makeout session with Glimmy Glammy like other cartoons are doing lately?

When you are a pony of Trixie's calibur, anything is possible.

Spook

Did Halloween get weirder with the release of the internet? Spook it below.

Music: Zephysonas - Forbidden Knowledge [Orchestral]

A character theme of sorts for a Dracaven named Eri, this piece from Zephysonas is from a new series of his focusing on creatures that live in the lands outside Equestria. Starting with some narration from Pretty Pegasus Wings, it gives way to some spooky strings, mysterious piano and soft choral voices. Check it out below!

Pony Plushie Compilation #292

The lifesize plushie pony train continues. I blame Hasbro for never delivering on it. It's a shame 4DE stopped doing plushies. They could have made it happen I bet.

Apparently this one is still available too, which is pretty rare in the plushie world.

Go get a bunch of pones below!

Music: Quicksilver - Vampire Girl [Metal]

We've got some speedy Flutterbat metal music from Quicksilver! Even when he doesn't utilise vocals in his songs, I always find the energy and arrangement of his playing keeps things super interesting, and that's definitely true here. Check it out below!

Discussion: The Twilight Sparkle Freakout

Best Gift Ever brought with it one of the best parts of Twilight's character - the freakout. No one stresses quite like bookhorse does. He completely off-the-wall way of reacting to sometimes simple situations has made her very relatable to loads of fellow anxiety-prone people around the fandom.

Personally, I think this and her nerdgasms over libraries and books will be two of the defining characteristics that set her up in the halls of cartoon character fame. It really sets her apart from other typical nerdy personalities you see in other shows. She's just that good at it.

What do you all think? Is this part of the reason why she's so well loved? Or are there other features of her characterization you latch on to?

Discuss below! Or just comment on how awesome that freakout was in Best Gift Ever.

US Netflix Confirms November 12th for Season 8 My Little Pony Release

After announcing that Netflix in Canada would be receiving season 8 on the 12th, we still didn't have confirmation on it's USA date. Fortunately, the pony page over there has officially updated with the teaser note up above. We are joining Canada it looks like.

Maybe we can host some rewatches or something leading to the 9th season now that everything is so easily accessible. That was one of the suggestions repeated multiple times in the post at least.

Thanks to Dallin for the heads up.

Music: General Mumble & Koa - They're Up To Something, Gummy [Electro]

General Mumble always seems to grace us with wonderful spooky tunes every Nightmare Night, and it's lovely to see that's no different this year. Full of excellently processed vocals, the dark Pinkie Pie vibes are really well done and there's a bunch of other sounds that help to build the spooky atmosphere as well. Check it out below!

Comics: Halloween / Routine / Marble / Um / Wonderbolt #7 / Es #265 / What Have #42 / AoS 2.32 / Aero #??

Nicolas has some chilled out music for us that's inspired by Autumn Blaze! From his newly released EP of the same name, this piece has plenty of uplifting vibes with a consistent arpeggio sound and drums elevated by some lovely plucks and pads. Check it out below!

Discussion: What Should We Do During This Hiatus?

We've got until most likely Spring until the next season starts, so it's time to figure out what to do with ourselves during the break. we've opened up art and have the usual pony theme days planned, but we need more things to do to keep busy while we wait for more horse!

Fanfiction: Celestia of Equestria's tonic experiment

[Random]

Author: Acologic

Description: So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.' 

'Comradeship consists of rubbing shoulders jocularly with a competitor.' 

A story of madness, coincidence, truth and mundanity, and all of it delightfully bonding. 

Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadence have long enjoyed subjecting their Tartarus inmates to a variety of gruesome tasks, including tiddlywinks and monopoly. It's time to up the ante, however, for when a bet is struck between sisters, it simply must follow through. Enter the most extraordinary substance known to pony kind, aptly named, suitably avoided – Granny Fanny's Cold-Fire Brewed Filly-Delphian Tonic Water, with the Kick of Two Very Angry Mules.

Celestia of Equestria's tonic experiment

Additional Tags: Absolute total madness of life and friendship

The Mysterious Case of Princess Erroria

Because taking background ponies who have an extra appendage and analyzing the hell out of them is WHAT WE DO. That weird alicorn filly that pops up every once in a while has been a running joke. Time to Analyze her.

Go get it below.

Electronic Music: UndreamedPanic & Doodled - Style [Hip Hop/Trap] / PVNK - Exterminatus (Metapony Remix) [Dubstep]

We've got some pretty crazy tunes here, with a bit of insanity in each of them. First up you might remember Doodled from his series of [HORSE] videos, but he's evidently a pretty sweet rapper too as shown here with some sick bars on top of a solid instrumental from Panic. And then we have a super heavy dubstep remix of one of PVNK's track from Metapony, who usually produces melodic and chill stuff but has gone for a complete turnaround this time. They're both awesome, so check them out below!

SFM: Lifeboat

Bat pone and great lip synch and creepy video are all good things in my book! Head on down below the break for a new SFM animation based on the song Lifeboat. Get it down below.
