** The whole EnthrallingSiren theme, with them pretty much ''seducing'' the students into a fight. Them having NoSenseOfPersonalSpace in a really creepy way doesn't help either. At one point Adagio walks down an aisle caressing every student's head as she passes by like they're her possessions for her to play with (which is weird normally, but NightmareFuel if you're the kind of person that does not like to be touched).

--->'''The Dazzlings:''' Feel the wave of sound, as is crashes down! You can't turn away/we'll make you want to stay!

** Even scarier? If you look at "Let's Have a Battle" that's ''exactly'' what happened to the student body, and likely to the viewer the first time viewing. The supernatural aspects and brainwashing didn't happen at the ''beginning'' of the song: they happened half way through. The first half was the hook, by the time they began brainwashing, everyone was already listening to the song. Celestia and Luna blissfully staring and the students swaying as the Dazzlings sing doesn't help much. The entire song is basically a weaponized version of an EarWorm to the viewers. It gets worse when you realize that this is what the Dazzlings plan to do to ''everyone on Earth'' if not stopped.

** The TransformationSequence. Good lord, the TransformationSequence! Their amulets glow bright red and cover them in red energy, the Dazzlings turn monochrome and sprout pony ears and longer hair like the heroines, then suddenly a layer seems to crack off of them, demonic wings emerge from their backs and their [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes glow red]]. Much like the Dazzlings themselves, there is just something inherently ''wrong'' about it all, which makes it all the more unsettling than the simple act itself. A major factor is that while the Rainbooms actually transform, with the Dazzlings, it's more like [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan something is being]] ''released''.

** What makes the entire scene work so well is that it's the first phase of their EvilPlan, and at first they seem to just be typical human villains, ''then'' the supernatural aspects begin showing up. The above shot of Dazzle's eyes lighting up comes off as a WhamShot and is all the more frightening for it.

Now it's time to ''finish you!''
