  1. 1.
    >Remember "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"?
  2. 2.
    >It was a cultural phenomenon, surprisingly. Who knew that such a childish cartoon could receive the love and admiration of thousands of 20 somethings?
  3. 3.
    >It was a crazy time. I remember having a "brony" phase myself. Those colorful equines brought me so much joy a few years back.
  4. 4.
    >My favorite pony was always Applejack. I loved her countryisms and hardworking values.
  5. 5.
    >Sadly, as all fads do, it came and went. The cheerful songs and wholesome plots soon became a distant memory for me.
  6. 6.
    >However, something as big as MLP once was can never truly stay buried, at least not for everyone.
  7. 7.
    >I was walking home from my menial job, bagging groceries at the local supermarket. I never was an overachiever, and it puts food on the table.
  8. 8.
    >About a block away from my house, I noticed one of my distant neighbors was having a yard sale.
  9. 9.
    >Strangely, I've walked past this house countless times and I've never noticed any signs of life coming from it.
  10. 10.
    >A frail looking lady, at least in her 70s, was rocking back and forth on a chair on the porch.
  11. 11.
    >Curiously, I decided to see what was for sale. Maybe I'd find some neat antiques of yesterday, begging to be resold for a markup.
  12. 12.
    >I asked her if I could comb through the boxes of merchandise she had for display. She of course said yes.
  13. 13.
    >She was a sweet old thing, offering me a cup of tea and some cookies. I politely declined, since I recently had lunch.
  14. 14.
    >I began sorting through the various items in the boxes. Lots of useless looking ceramic knick-knacks and old, dusty toys.
  15. 15.
    >Nothing seemed to be of any value or interest.
  16. 16.
    >Just as I was about to leave, I noticed a box full of old video tapes.
  17. 17.
    >My interest was piqued once more, and I began looking.
  18. 18.
    >Shrek, Road to El Dorado, The Never Ending Story...
  19. 19.
    >All signs of a grandson who's since started his own adult life.
  20. 20.
    >Then, at the very bottom, I noticed a peculiar tape.
  21. 21.
    >It had no case, just a very hastily placed label that just read:
  22. 22.
    >Applejack
  23. 23.
    >I recognized the name of the rural orange pony immediately. For memory's sake, I had to take it home.
  24. 24.
    >I inquired about the price. Two dollars. Score.
  25. 25.
    >I gave the old lady two wrinkly 1 dollar bills, thanked her, and went on my way.
  26. 26.
    >I'm surprised at how excited I was to rewatch the pony show. I guess I needed some wholesome joy to spice up the repetition of my day to day life.
  27. 27.
    >Soon enough, I was at home and ready to dust off my old VHS player.
  28. 28.
    >I tossed some popcorn in the microwave, grabbed the bag, and planted my ass down to begin watching.
  29. 29.
    >The episode began as normal. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were playing horseshoes, followed by some playful bickering.
  30. 30.
    >Fall Weather Friends! I remember loving this one.
  31. 31.
    >Giggling like a little girl, the intro began to play.
  32. 32.
    >My Little Pony....My Little Pony...
  33. 33.
    >Some bronies hated the intro. I always thought it was cute.
  34. 34.
    >I hummed along to it. I felt silly, but I was enjoying myself.
  35. 35.
    >Don't you know you're all my very best frieeeends?
  36. 36.
    >Classic.
  37. 37.
    >The episode continued playing as normal, Applejack and Rainbow Dash trying to one up each other in various activities.
  38. 38.
    >I never liked Rainbow Dash's constant bragging, so just like before, I was rooting for Applejack.
  39. 39.
    >The episode got to its major conflict, the Running of the Leaves.
  40. 40.
    >Rainbow Dash wasn't allowed to use her wings, and the challenge was a footrace- or should I say, hoofrace, to the end against Applejack.
  41. 41.
    >The scene changed to Pinkie Pie in a hot air balloon announcing that the race will begin soon.
  42. 42.
    >I felt stupid at how hyped I was.
  43. 43.
    >However, at this point, the quality of the VHS began to decline. It was unusually grainy.
  44. 44.
    >I paid no mind, probably just an old tape.
  45. 45.
    >The audio quality was going down as well, Pinkie's voice sounded like it was being played through an old radio.
  46. 46.
    >This kept progressing. At the scene where Twilight Sparkle was talking to the ponies at the starting line, I could barely make out what she was saying.
  47. 47.
    >The race began. The audio quality was incomprehensible.
  48. 48.
    >What normally sounded like hooves running across the ground sounded like garbled nonsense. It was almost frightening.
  49. 49.
    >Applejack and Rainbow Dash were running next to each other, trying to take the lead over the other.
  50. 50.
    >However, something wasn't right. The scene was looping very poorly, over and over.
  51. 51.
    >This went on for a few minutes. I was almost ready to take the tape out and continue my day. Must be busted.
  52. 52.
    >Right as I was about to get up from the couch, something horrified me.
  53. 53.
    >The incomprehensible noise that was the hoofsteps began to distort even further.
  54. 54.
    >It almost sounded like...screams?
  55. 55.
    >I was unsettled, but I continued watching.
  56. 56.
    >The animation's frame rate was slowing down. It almost looked like a slideshow.
  57. 57.
    >A reddish filter appeared over the scene. It almost looked like blood splatters.
  58. 58.
    >The screaming noises became more intense. I could almost make out what looked like the skull of a pony in the background.
  59. 59.
    >The skull like object became more and more apparent as the loop kept playing. It was covered in what looked like blood.
  60. 60.
    >The screams were almost deafening. I was about to shit my pants in terror, but I couldn't look away.
  61. 61.
    >After about 5 minutes of this loop, it cut to Pinkie and Spike in the balloon, playing like normal.
  62. 62.
    >But that was only for a few seconds.
  63. 63.
    >Right after Pinkie's joke about fudge, it began to distort once more.
  64. 64.
    >The stuttering was almost like that of a Youtube Poop.
  65. 65.
    >Pinkie began convulsing faster.
  66. 66.
    >The stuttering was so fast that it was giving me a headache.
  67. 67.
    >Why was I still watching?
  68. 68.
    >Pinkie's erratic movements then froze and it cut to black.
  69. 69.
    >Thank god that's over.
  70. 70.
    >Once again, I moved to remove the tape.
  71. 71.
    >The moment I got up, as if it was trying to catch me off guard, the black screen flashed into a screencap that I can only describe as "demonic".
  72. 72.
    >Pinkie's eyes were black voids, with blood dripping down from each socket.
  73. 73.
    >Spike...his head was on a stake. His eyes and face were covered in tears.
  74. 74.
    >The horrifying image of Pinkie Pie was looking directly at the screen. Smiling.
  75. 75.
    >I was shaking. What the fuck did this old lady possess?
  76. 76.
    >I had to finish it. I couldn't look away.
  77. 77.
    >Two minutes of Pinkie's horrifying grin passed. It cut back to the loop of Dash and Applejack racing.
  78. 78.
    >This time, the red filter was way more intense, if you could even call it a filter. It looked like the screen was covered in blood.
  79. 79.
    >Skulls of ponies littered the racetrack and background. They looked like they were in a perpetual state of terror.
  80. 80.
    >Applejack's face began distorting. Just like Pinkie, her eyes turned into black holes, and blood was raining from her face.
  81. 81.
    >Her skin began to peel away, in frightening detail. Her skull was revealed on various parts on her face, and a gruesome smile began to form.
  82. 82.
    >Still running together, Rainbow Dash's head began to turn to look at her rotting friend. She looked terrified.
  83. 83.
    >Applejack's face was now facing me, as if it was the world's scariest fourth wall break.
  84. 84.
    >The smile got even more deranged looking. Whatever was possessing this tape was having fun.
  85. 85.
    >It cut to black, but only for a split second.
  86. 86.
    >When the image returned, the screams were eardrum blowing.
  87. 87.
    >The face of the cheerful, hardworking apple pony was almost completely rotted off.
  88. 88.
    >Her skull was almost completely exposed. Hyper-realistic blood and brains poured out of her face.
  89. 89.
    >I couldn't take it anymore, I had to stop.
  90. 90.
    >Once again, I got up to take the tape out of the player. I was planning on smashing it with a hammer soon after.
  91. 91.
    >Then, the screaming stopped.
  92. 92.
    >Somber piano music began playing. It cut to a grainy shot of Applejack's barn, and the camera slowly moved towards the door.
  93. 93.
    >What came next shook me to my core.
  94. 94.
    >Rainbow Dash was on the ground, dead. Her wings looked like they had been gnawed off.
  95. 95.
    >Hanging from the ceiling from a noose was poor Applejack.
  96. 96.
    >Swaying back and forth in a depressingly realistic manner.
  97. 97.
    >Words flashed on the screen. "Dead". "Sugarcube." "Why didn't you save her?"
  98. 98.
    >I popped the tape out and the screen cut to black. I was emotionally scarred from what I just witnessed.
  99. 99.
    >As I promised to myself, I grabbed a hammer from my toolbox and smashed the tape into pieces.
  100. 100.
    >I cleaned up the debris and put it in the trash.
  101. 101.
    >I should have just watched some ponies on the internet instead.
  102. 102.
    >I spent the rest of the day rewatching non-corrupted pony.
  103. 103.
    >The pony episodes I watched cheered me up.
  104. 104.
    >I watched most of season 1, reliving good times.
  105. 105.
    >Ticket Master, Party of One, all classics. I even watched the actual version of Fall Weather Friends.
  106. 106.
    >Still holds up.
  107. 107.
    >I was still emotionally damaged from the horrors from earlier in the day.
  108. 108.
    >However, I'm a grown man, and tried to put it past me.
  109. 109.
    >I went to bed and had trouble falling asleep.
  110. 110.
    >I didn't have good dreams. The tape may be destroyed, but it was still very much alive in my subconscious.
  111. 111.
    >Horrifying flashes of Applejack hanging on a noose played in my head, over and over.
  112. 112.
    >I woke up in a cold sweat.
  113. 113.
    >6am, time for work.
  114. 114.
    >I got up, made coffee, and threw on my clothes.
  115. 115.
    >Perhaps the menial tasks of the day would take my mind off of it.
  116. 116.
    >I grabbed my sack lunch, and walked out the door.
  117. 117.
    >What I saw next almost made me scream at the top of my lungs.
  118. 118.
    >A ripe, juicy looking apple was planted right at my doorstep.
  119. 119.
    >I panicked and threw it as far as I could, right into the street.
  120. 120.
    >That was 1 week ago. Every morning, I find fresh apples at my doorstep.
  121. 121.
    >I constantly look over my shoulder in terror.
  122. 122.
    >The only thing that seems to take my mind off of it at this point is watching more pony.
  123. 123.
    >However, I make sure to avoid any episodes involving the sweet farmer mare.
  124. 124.
    >Applejack was my favorite pony, now she's my worst nightmare.
