In the spirit of Halloween, I'm going to try my best and bring you horror themed pictures until the 31st. I might be slow on producing them, but hey, I miss doing sketch a day.
You know who I think is a good pony? Princess Cadance. I know there are a few peeps here and there who don't really like her, but to me she is one of the nicest, most likable characters in all of Friendship is Magic. "A Canterlot Wedding" had some great character development for Cadance and Shining Armor (and Twilight), at least in my own humble opinion.
So you have to understand that drawing this picture kind of rips me appart. I blame my randomizer app in my Android that gave me Cadance's number when trying to decide which pony to draw. I literally groaned outloud when I saw her number coming up. I don't like to see her suffer. I think we don't like to see our characters suffer. Well, maybe a little. But that's because it's even more awesome when they overcome their fears, dusting themselves off as they get ready for round two.
Speaking of fears, I always found the word "help" to be possitively terrifying. If you hear that word you know that, whoever is saying it, is in deep trouble, and whatever the trouble is you want to stay away from it at all cost. Your survival instinct wants to make you stay as far as possible from the menace that's causing that poor person to cry for aid. You can fight against it of course, but your first reaction will be to run away. Always. I think it's a wonderful dramatic resource to use in horror movies. Personally it causes a very powerful response in me. I am conflicted. I don't know if I want to help that one in distress, or run away from them and whatever is haunting them. It's never something good.
Just look at Cadance. She's crying in despair, screaming at the top of her lungs for those she loves, not sure if they are around or not, or if they will even save her. And what's chasing her? I honestly don't know. I wanted to leave the creature/individual/monster/menace to be undefined, so you all can fill in the gaps. Because the core of horror lies not in what is chasing us, but in what we think is chasing us.

She runs throe the streets, not a soul to be seen, crying for help as misery and sorrow consumed the would around her, and that filmier laugh echoed the empty street.
Cadence: How, he can't be alive, he just can't be. ???: Mehhahahahaha. Cadence: Stay away, please, just stay away!
She runs throe a door and into a black room white white floor, she try's to turn back but the door is gone, and two eyes staring back at her, those maroon, green glowing, purple misted eyes
Cadence: Sombra! Sombra: Hmhmhmhmhm
he moved forward as he began yo reform in-front of her, first the curved horn then gray fanged face, then some of his armor then his hole body as he waked towards her, she then fell back onto something, she looked to see what looked like a demonic foul crib, she looked back to him.
Cadence: What is this, what do you want? Sombra: My sweet daughter.
He smiled at her with those demonic fangs, she quivers at him, fear began to rise even more as a small snarl came from him and his smile slowly dropped to mach the snarl, he the opened his moth and lunged forward , the last thing she saw was red liquid spouting from her chest as his face banged into it
Shining Armor: CADENCE! Cadence: AHHHHHH!
She shot up, body thankfully covered in sweat and not blood, she then saw the face of her beloved husband, she the throw her arms at him ad held him close
Cadence" Shining! Shining Armor: Its okay, its okay, it was just a bad dream, but its over now, its over Cadence: Ye, your right, its over
She looked up at the night sky, funny, she can swear that even tho she was wide awake, those eyes were still watching
In a state of panic, which she is right now, her instinct will make her call for the one she has protected before, in the hopes that she will be protected again. Also, you have to wonder, why did I make a female character, who is escaping from something terrible, call for another female character instead of a male character first?
I hope it's scary enough. I should re-draw it with a lot more detail.

Daughter?
Wouldn't she call for her husband first?
Thanks.
