How did The Lion Guard not even get mentioned? Is it getting its own list? How I Got My Scar (Scar's backstory about how he turned evil) Panic and Run (a song about how terrified prey are the best prey) Jackal Style (a song about using cuteness to screw over everyone) Don't Mess With Mama (sung gospel style of all things) Lions Over All (exactly what it sounds like: a song about prioritizing yourself and mercilessly crushing everyone else) Tree of Life (a song about planning to butcher at the leisure the residents of the closest thing in the TLK universe to a wildlife refuge) Outta the Way (imagine "Be Prepared" as a catchy toe tapper) Big Bad Kenge (like "Cruelle deVille", but big band and about how he's going to kill YOU) Tonight We Strike (a song about killing their enemies in their sleep) This Is Your New Home (a song full of double-meanings and innuendo, promising safety to those they intend to kill and eat) I Have a Plan (sung by THE FREAKIN' REVENANT OF SCAR!!!) Let's Bring Back A Legend (a song about BRINGING SCAR BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!)

I clicked the second I saw "Over The Garden Wall" in the thumbnail it's one of my favorite cartoons to watch during the Halloween and Fall seasons and true it does have it's share of creepy and dark songs but that's one of the many things that makes the show interesting! And I'm happy to see that "This Day Aria" also made this list, For not only is is one of the greatest villain songs in mlp fim. But it's also one of the darkest songs ever sung by an mlp villain.

The Nowhere King’s lullaby from Centaurworld is dark, creepy and disturbing. Especially the Cattaur version.

@jamieholmes4751 9 ай бұрын

One thing I love about Nothing Left to Lose is that at a couple of occasions, Cassandra looked like she was hesitating in what she’d done only to steel herself and stick to her dark path Part way through the song , she sees her reflex in the black rocks and seems a bit surprised by what she became At the end when she sings “now, I have nothing left to lose” , she seems sad when she locks Varian in a cage outside While Varian’s villain arc was done better in my eyes , Cassandra’s was cool .😃😃😃

I'd argue that 'Wither and Decay' from Tangled and 'Drift Away' from Steven Universe are both darker and creepier picks than the ones chosen.

@ShadowJCreed 9 ай бұрын

Eh wither and decay isn’t really a song more just an incantation with how small it is. “Wither and Decay, end this destiny, break these earthly chains and set the spirit free.” Then it just repeats. Seeing Raps get possessed by a dark force when she did say it was very creepy though especially since she almost did kill everyone around her

Here’s a fun drinking game; take a shot of vodka every time someone says “ember” in the episode “fanning the flames”. You’d most likely be 1) Peter Griffin levels intoxicated, 2) knocked out before the episode is over, or 3) your vodka bottle will be empty before the episode is done. BTW, the song does NOT count. Still, they say that name that many times.

My ideal version of the “You Got Tricked” musical number for a possible Loud House Halloween story: The scene opens during one Halloween night with Lincoln Loud dressed as a vampire and Clyde McBride dressed as a mummy asking some bullies who are enemies with Lincoln and the Louds including his recurring nemesis Chandler McCann to enter the dark and spooky haunted corn maze set up by his family. As Luna sings the haunting Halloween track while playing on the pipe organ with the Moon Goats popping up in different places while also dressed as skeletons like Luna, Chandler and his cronies are scared out of their wits as they run through the corn maze screaming in horror when running into various spooky Halloween decorations and Halloween costumes worn by the Louds and their friends. They run into Luan Loud dressed as a mad scientist bringing her monster played by Mr. Coconuts to life, Lori Loud and Bobby Santiago dressed as vampires feasting on a zombie, Ronnie Anne Santiago as a witch cackling and flying on her broomstick, Sid Chang as a werewolf howling up at the moon and ready to pounce, a Headless Horseman statue, Lynn Loud as a horror movie chainsaw killer, Leni Loud dressed as a headless Marie Antoinette with Geo rolling by as her decapitated head, Clyde McBride as a mummy awakening from his sarcophagus, Lola and Lana as spooky scarecrows, Lisa Loud dressed as a wicked witch cackling while making potions in her cauldron with Lily Loud as a black cat, Liam Hunnicutt as another spooky scarecrow, and finally, Lincoln Loud dressed as a vampire and Lucy Loud dressed as a vampiress dumping blood on some candy-stealing bullies about to steal various kids’ candy on Halloween night with the two young vampires about to feast on someone’s blood, sending the bullies running away screaming. All the other kids come over to the spooky corn maze to experience the fun and slight scares, thus ending the scene.

Honestly really disappointed that none of the songs from Centaurworld made the list. There are several dark and disturbing songs throughout both seasons… Obvious choices would have been anything with the Nowhere King, or the Elktaur… But even the Whale Shaman’s song about her taking the pain away from those who needed it, or Horse’s reprise to the same Shaman where she was basically ready to commit suicide and allow her to take away her pain…

Here’s an older one, “Imagine Me At My Worst,” from the Charmkins special from the mid 80s. The big bad continually threatens the dancer he kidnapped, “Dance for me, or else!” One of his minions asked him what he means by “or else,” and he replies with this song. I thought when I was a child that the song didn’t really answer, but contemplating it as an adult sends a chill down my spine. One of the lyrics says, “I have an evil mind, as low as one can go. I’ll sneak up from behind, and then, and then, and then, you wouldn’t wanna know.” It almost sounded like he was threatening s*xual assault. Thinking about it now, I think I understand why that show didn’t become a series.
