"Welcome to the kill count, where we tally up the victims in all your favorite horror movies. I'm Jade J. Jackpot, and today we’re gonna be looking at Nightmare Hunger, a short film made by The mane 8 themselves. Nightmare Hunger was inspired when Bandit was just an 8 year old and was told a rather derogatory comment as he grew up. And Bandit decided to turn it into a short film creepypasta. A 25 minute tension thrill ride with some very memorable kills. Following Bandit and Chad as they are observed by Twilight who sent them after her friends to get some research on how changelings would hunt ponies, as well as showing just how screwed Ponies would be if they ever decided to prove how big of Apex Predators the Red Carapace Changelings are. This short film was so amazing that it inspired a film named Feral Ling, a movie not nearly as good. How many ponies do these two blood-thirsty changelings turn to glue? Let’s find out and get to the kills.”

“The movie begins with Rainbow Dash in the Everfree Forest, running cause she’s stuck in her middle name. If you’re wondering why she’s running, it’s because her wings have been ripped off. Not wanting to be the latest victim for her own Rainbow Factory, she’s trying to get to Ponyville to warn the others of what she’s running from, but before she can, Bandit scoops down from the sky and flies her into a tree.”

Rainbow Dash #1

Decapitated by Bandit

“Holding her there and keeping her mouth closed, he bites into her neck and uses his hooves to tear her head off, dropping her body to Chad and letting him reap the benefits. Bet she tastes like skittles. This kill was inspired by how owls hunt their food, decapitating their prey before they get to the nest. I really do appreciate the makeup effects team for this kill, accomplished by Rainbow Dash having to have the dummy head on her shoulders for Bandit to rip off. Twilight comes out of a bush, documenting what she just witnessed, fascinated by what she’s witnessed. Her friends don’t know it yet, but they’re in the Experiments of Twilight Sparkle. Now Twilight wants to see how a unicorn would fair against being hunted by an R double C, in P-O-N-Y-V-I-L-L-E. After Chad and Bandit leave no traces, evening eating Rainbow Dash’s bones, Twilight tells them to go after Rarity, and Chad volunteers to go for the kill. Chad covers himself in Rainbow’s blood and gets to Rarity’s boutique knocking on her door. And this is the moment where most of us would die because when Rarity saw Chad seemingly injured I actually forgot Cad just got done tasting the Rainbow.”

Rarity opened the door and saw Chad covered in blood and gasped.

“Oh no, you poor thing!” Rarity said, scooping him up, and bringing him inside.

“Don’t lie, you would’ve done the same, and if you say you wouldn’t, yous a fucken liar. Rarity brings Chad inside and goes to get a first aid kit, however, as soon as the door was closed behind her, Chad goes right for the kill.

Rarity #2
8 mins
Neck broken and ripped by Chad

“Chad bites into her neck and shakes before she even has a chance to realize was wrong, breaking it and tearing out some flesh, which he consumes. The way she dropped so suddenly after the kill was honestly the most disturbing thing to me. No Score, No exaggerated death, just a neck bop and a sudden stop. Not even extra blo-

Chad was eating Rarity from the rear hooves up, already at her midsection with her organs spilling out.

“Oh never mind, that’s a lot of blood. Twilight documents this and want to see how they’d fare against the strength of an earth pony and sends Bandit after Pinkie, and fair warning, what happens next is pretty disgusting so look away if you’re easily disturbed. Pinkie doesn’t even get a chance to understand what was going on before Bandit ran in and bit into her next, shaking her like a rag doll.”

Pinkie Pie #3
13 mins
Neck broken and shaken like a rag doll

“Pinkie’s kill was accomplished by the use of a full identical dummy for Bandit to shake around, and the fact that Bandit was strong enough to shake such a heavy doll scared his friends, yeah, that’s actually him, shaking a 160lbs dummy like it was a chew toy. Notice how the changeling brothers have so far been hunting similar to that of animals. First an Owl, then a Wolverine, then a wolf, and now a snake. Wait wha-”

Bandit’s jaw unhinged and he began swallow Pinkie whole, starting from the head. Jade J Jackpot shivered very uncomfortably.

“Ew! As Pinkie gets swallowed by Bandit, Chad was at Sweet Apple Acres, walking to a disabled Applejack. Applejack, you’re in danger right now, why aren’t you screaming right now?”

As Applejack was crawling, unable to use her back legs due to a bite crushing her spinal cord, and she had a hoof on her bleeding neck, a result from a bite that silenced her.

“Oh that’s why. Chad stalks Applejack and gets to her before she can get to the barn, biting the top of her head.”

Applejack #4

Skull crushed by Chad

“Chad crushes Applejack’s head and sends blood everywhere! Holy shit! Even Chad was surprised at how much that went everywhere. Seriously, that surprised look on Chad’s face wasn’t intentional. No one knew it was gonna explode like that. With two pegasi left on the list, Lightning Sprint, and Fluttershy, Twilight decides to go with Chad to see how he goes about eating someone alive, but not until she watches Bandit kill Fluttershy. After Fluttershy’s precious Angel is missing, Fluttershy goes out to look for him, missing the foreshadowing of her death written on the wall in the dorm of a leopard. Hint Hint nudge nudge. She goes into the Everfree forest where she finds Angel tied up and gagged at the base of a tree. Trying to point to the tree above him, but since he was tied up from his arms, legs and ears, Fluttershy was in the dark about who was in the tree until this happened.”

Fluttershy walked over to Angel, who was still darting his eyes up. She noticed too little too late and before she could look up, Bandit dropped out of the tree and bit her right in the neck.

Fluttershy #5
19 mins
Neck Broken by Bandit dropping out of the tree

“This scared the hell out of me when I watched the film because we knew it was coming but couldn’t tell when. The way they accomplished this kill was actually much more practical than I thought. Like Pinkie Pie, they had a life-sized dummy in place of Fluttershy so Bandit could land on her, but to make this look as real as possible, they had to switch out Fluttershy with her dummy after Bandit had already jumped out the tree. Bandit was required to start flying right before he landed on Fluttershy so that they could switch her with the dummy, jump out the tree again and land on the dummy. As you can tell, this took a shit ton of takes, but the aftermath left us with the most memorable kill of the film, so their hard work had paid off. Our last kill is the most painful to watch since Lightning Sprint tries to fight but uh….Lightning?”

Bandit was clutching Lightning Sprint’s throat as he front hooves were hitting his neck, which wasn’t doing much to deter Bandit as Chad was tearing into her stomach and eating her alive.

“You know what, you look busy. I’ll come back.”

Lightning Sprint #6
21 mins
Eaten Alive By Chad

“Lightning Sprint finally kicks the bucket and as soon as she does, Bandit wakes up horrified from the nightmare he just said, turns out, all his friends are alive! And he was having a horrifying nightmare. The film ends with a TITLE CARD!”

“And then the credits. This was a short video, appropriate considering this is a short film. How many ponies were turned into a late night snack for our favorite bug bois? Let’s find out and get to the numbers-

A changeling dropped from the ceiling and landed on Jade. Coming back up was a female Changeling with a pink bow on her head, having Jade’s neck nonlethally off-screen in her mouth. She then walked to the left, disappearing off screen.

Jade walked to the background that counted his kills.

“I know Bandit had a nightmare about eating his friends so technically no one died, but Only six characters died in Nightmare hunger, impressive for a film only 30 minutes long with 5 of those minutes being credited to everyone involved with the film. All of the victims were mares, meaning Bandit and Chad really are into Cherry-Grape pie. With a run time of 30 minutes, that brings us to a kill on average every 5 minutes flat.”

“I’ll give the golden chainsaw for coolest kill to….all of them. I’m unable to decide between Rainbow’s decapitation, Rarity’s sudden stop, Pinkie being swallowed hole, Applejack getting jaguar’d. Fluttershy getting Leopard’d, or Lightning Sprint being eaten alive. Which thus means no dull machete. And that’s it. Nightmare Hunger’s premise as a changeling being a hunter inspired a film called Feral Ling, and whereas this was a memorable short film, Feral Ling was not. Next time I’m gonna be looking at a martial arts horror film called Double Trouble. Until then, I’m Jade J. Jackpot, this has been the kill count.”

Author's Note

Yeah, this was short, I know. But it was a short 'film' after all. Don't worry, the next one will be longer.

See you guys next time.
