“A surprising statistic shows that no pony has passed away on Nightmare Night. There’s plenty of theories to why this happens, it could be that Nightmare Moon is merciful with the candy she is offered, or that all the candy is healthy for our bodies to contain. As a Mare of Science myself, I believe that the magic contained within the sweets and the over abundance has caused an unintended life extending effect. Not unlike Earth Ponies living longer than the other tribes due to having magic inside their bodies at all times.”
