MLP:FiM is classed as horror? & Compared to Silent Hill?!

[Alleviate 342]

I was following up a couple of leads on 'Nightmare Fuel' and I stumbled across the 'Psychological Horror' section of TV tropes. Scrolling through, I noticed Silent Hill a few times (The lord of Psy-Horror) Then, towards the bottom of the page, another mention of Silent Hill and then...MLP FiM!

Apparently 'Lesson Zero', 'Party of One' and 'Return of Harmony' (1+2) Manage to fit in to the horror section - Next to Silent Hill!

 

I mean, sure, Psycho-Twi and Pinkamena were a tad scarey, but to compare with SH...No, Jus' NO!

Silent Ponyville was brilliant, but it's not what the Show is actually based on (Go read it, SH fans and non-fans alike, It's AWESOME!)

 

I have a link here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PsychologicalHorror

 

 

Several notes also: Return of Harmony, in particular, Discord's reign of Chaos, apparently represents 'unnatural fear' and 'Nightmare Fuel from 'Abstract worlds/Altered reality/Twisted reality'

Lesson Zero and Party of One focus more on mental conditions; Twi being paranoid and severely unstable, Pinkie shows 'Fear of being alone (SH..Yeah!) ', ' and 'DPD (Dual Personality Disorder)'

Noted mainly when she starts 'snapping' between voices and when her body twitches when she changes character...(Couldn't find the clip I'm after...)

 

So yeah, there you have it, MLP: FiM isn't a kids show at all, it's Nightmare Fuel!

 

Let's hear your opinions/additions to this, please.

Wow... That's so strange. I can't believe that they count that. Well, I'll bet some kids were scared by lesson zero.

from a childs perspective i can see lesson zero and maybe party for one beeing disturbing, but return of harmony? seriously?

but would a child really get the Horro refs.?

I think they would just shrug it off as amusing evilness.

 

When Discord alters the reality he creates 'Surreal Surroundings' (Love the sound of that ^-^) That are Nightmare Fuel for some people.

 

 

Always remember: One man's Nightmare retardent could be another man's Nightmare Fuel.

Lesson Zero creeped me out....An' I'm a 14 Yo Silent Hill & SAW Fan!

Party of one was so much more ominous after 'Cupcakes' Too bad I read it before I watched the Ep. the first time ^-^
