How, and why is this group known as "Peruvian Nightmare Squad"?

[HorsesandMOARGaloar 300]

I really pity the cosplayers, though. Yet I wonder how did they get dubbed as "Peruvian Nightmare Squad"?

Here's an example (edited for lulz) :

Though I think I kinda get everything except the peruvian bit, but then, maybe they hail from o'er yonder?

It's better than the other name they had, "Thundercock Soulpuncher".

[Scoots and Dash 208]

Well, I'd say it's definitely different than the usual cosplay's I see... 

 

I have no clue where they would get nightmare from at all...

I'm probably gonna sound like a dumbass for this, but I don't get it. Are they toys or are they people? I don't know what to make of it!

I tried looking through all the comments and couldn't find an explanation. Is there a Peruvian stereotype about soul-decaying creepiness?

It's a photoshopped version of a still from a video recorded at an Equestria Girls promotional event at a store in Lima, Peru.

 

 

Since then, it's taken on a life -- or "afterlife", if you will -- of its own.

 

No word on what sort of therapy young attendees subsequently required, but if Equestria Girls toy sales are any guide, the psychological trauma was probably mild and transient in nature.

I don't know, but it's totally different from the regular cosplays that we do.

....What were they thinking? Reminds of this infamous video

 

 

Those costumes are just hideous, if they wanted to advertise for the toys (which they clearly were as the boxes of EQG dolls were shown in the vid), why would they use those? I just....I don't get it. Than again, yeah, the dolls were terrible themselves, and they were apparently a smash hit, so....

 

Edit: HOLY SHIT, I said costumers when I meant costumes, I seriously hope no one thought I meant customers

Also guys apparently the other mane 6 had the honor of having costumes made of them:

That's...really creepy looking.

 

But it's kind of cool hearing the Spanish version of the Equestria Girls song!

I don't even get the purpose of that, why couldn't they just do up the actresses in make-up? Was there really a need for the masks?
