Description But evil things, in robes of sorrow,
Assailed the monarch's high estate.
(Ah, let us mourn!- for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him desolate!)
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
Is but a dim-remembered story
Of the old time entombed.

And travellers, now, within that valley,
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms, that move fantastically
To a discordant melody,
While, like a ghastly rapid river,
Through the pale door
A hideous throng rush out forever
And laugh- but smile no more.

Edgar Allan Poe, "The Haunted Palace"

Discord as Vincent Price in "The Haunted Palace" movie, many major characters turned to (paintings) ghosts who haunt the empty canterlot in a endless gala of empty memories

...I should REALLY try to draw a happy pony-fanart

White? I think there should be chocolate in the glass..
except its white chocolate which would be akwards...
but since he is the "spirit of chaos"... i guess i could go with it!

"Where hinges creak in doorless chambers...where strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls...where candlelights flicker though the air is deathly still...this is the Haunted Canterlot Palace. Welcome, curious friends! You may not believe it, but beauty once lived in this castle. If beauty lives here still...show herself..."

(A ghostly image of Celestia floats past)

"Lovely, isn't she? Now, come along; I have more beauty to show you...farther on..."   

Dialogue paraphrased from the now-defunct English narration for "Phantom Manor."

Sincerely yours,
J.

Herp-Teh-MUFFINZ [2012-06-30 13:56:14 +0000 UTC]

No.
Sometimes there is too much happy fan art.
This...
Is good...
Now you need to find an author and base a Fan Fic off this.
It would be pretty awesome if it was done right.
Whilst I have not seen "The Haunted Palace" I think this picture is Astounding!
Regardless if I don't get the reference.

Also, Have you ever heard of slender man? You should try drawing a pony version of him. Slender mane as he is called.

Oh yes, I've heard of the creep. He doesn't ispire me however, I think he is more suited for fiction

Only Discord is based on the movie, the rest is inspired on Poe's poem (of witch the movie title is only a reference. I just wanted to create the ghostly eyes effect

Possibly. My brother girlfriend said he looks so evil he should drink blood

So she was very shoked when she noticed he was drinking chocolate milk

Little did our chaos bringing friend realize that the mansion was haunted with the spirits of his worst enemies. He woke up the next morning to a curse so heavy, he decided he would prefer to be in stone.

And yes, the happy-pony fan-art would do you a world of good.

Good thing I don't need to visit my dad's chiropractor - he's related to Vincent Price - I don't think I'd be able to keep a straight after seeing this.

I would say Chrisalis because she is the creepyest and, you know, feeds on innocent little ponies
