Prediction: The finale will be this year's Halloween episode, more so than any previous episode
There was something strange about this season that I noticed.
Every season up to now has had what you could call on at least somewhat horror themed episode, each one a little more full on horror than the last; Bridle gossip Luna Eclipsed, Sleepless in Ponyville, Castle-mania, Bats, Scare master 28 pranks later.
Every season I've looked forward to seeing what the new season's "horror" episode would be.
But this season, as the titles and synopsis of new episodes came out, there seemed to be an odd calm; a horror drought
At first I thought it would be campfire tales but that doesn't seem to be the case.
All was quiet.
Too quiet.
Than I calculated the episode air dates from August 5th to the season finale, and Shadow Play airs on October 28th, three days before Halloween.
For some reason I did not consider the finale would be anything but the typical adventure episode, even with the villain being called "The Pony of Shadows", but it would make sense.
The Shadow Lock arc of the comics had elements of Lovecraftian horror emanating from an unsuspecting everyday object, and monsters and mummies coming out of books and museum pieces, and The Pony of Shadows is a ghost story, probably a twisted variation of something that really happened like the goal gobbling Nightmare Night version of Nightmare Moon, possibly something related.to the nightmare entities that possessed Luna per the comics.
What's more, To Where And Back Agaim was the most horror like finale yet; the paranoia element of changelings, waking up from nightmares, powerless characters wandering a changeling hive, that exceptionally creepy, body twisting Queen Chrysalis entrance.
Every season so far has had more creepiness and horror than the last. Has My Little Pony in its seventh season become inexplicably tamer?Or is this just the calm before the storm?
