* Tirac (pictured on the first image above) and Catrina are full of nightmare fuel, and are part of the show as the pilot (Rescue at Midnight Castle was treated like this for the longest time) or independent episodes within the series. Nightmare fuel for both can be found [[NightmareFuel/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials here]].

* The opening to "Return to Tambelon", with the unicorns disappearing after winking out with no explanation as to why. Grogar (pictured on the second image above) himself is pretty nasty too, at one point shooting lightning at the ponies with intent to kill and being nigh-unstoppable until the finale.

** The shadow-less ponies in "Bright Lights" (pictured on the third image above) advancing on Knight Shade. The angle they're shot at makes them look like ''zombies''. This is even worse because this is Knight-Shade's ''hometown'' which are essentially forming a lynch mob to try and kill him for something Erebus tricked him into doing.

Fridge Horror is different from Nightmare Fuel, see E To K.


** The ''truly'' terrifying thing? Lavan says he hadn't gained full control over his power yet when he was destroyed, [[FridgeHorror just what would Lavan have been capable of if he'd had time to do that?]]

* In "The Magic Coins", Baby Lickety-Split, petulant over rain canceling the ponies' picnic, unknowingly steps on a magic coin as she wishes for it to never rain again. Cut to weeks later, where everything is drying up under the sun and the Baby Sea Ponies are dying of dehydration. And then a fire starts...

* "Somnambula", which seems to owe something to ''[[WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries The Lorelei Signal]]''. Somnambula is a witch who lets every pony live their dream, with everything they wanted, [[spoiler:even as she saps their energy, accelerating their aging so fast that in a matter of hours they're really long in the tooth]].
** It's a NearVillainVictory, too; all the adults would have died had not [[spoiler:the bird taken a chance to flee and then break the hypnosis]] and had not [[spoiler:Slugger seen his beloved in this state and gotten his HeroicSecondWind]].
** A cheerful little note? [[spoiler:The unicorns she chained to her crystal? the close up of them shows they're ''aware'', with Button staring ''right at'' Slugger, clearly not happy about her condition. Somnambula [[AndIMustScream had them chained up like that, sucking the life and magic out of them for the entire day]], intending to keep them that way forever.]]
