* ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'''s "Crucible of God" Gehenna scenario features {{spoiler|the Antediluvian/ancestor of the Clan Lasombra blanketing the Earth in darkness for three weeks while it consumes its childer/descendants. No explanation is given as to how or why the darkness abates}}.
** During The Week Of Nightmares, Kuei-Jin elders created a supernatural storm to shield them from the sun to battle Ravana, the Antediluvian ancestor of the Clan Ravnos—who was practically a vampire-god at this point. Then the Technocracy bombed them all, killing everyone who joined the battle; werewolves, Kuei-Jin and their ''own'' Agents.

**:* Because of the [[Painting the Frost on Windows|hands-on nature]] of... well, nature in this series, some fans have grossly underestimated the threat level of this. [[Word of God]] has made clear, however, that this ''would'' cause the death of every living thing in Equestria, by starvation if nothing else.
**:* The Fandom has taken this to new, terrifying extremes of terror and [[Fridge Logic]]. The Pony Psychology series has an entire chapter of [[What the Hell, Hero?]] dedicated to Luna confronting Celestia over this, and Celestia painting the horror for her. In addition, several webcomics portray in gruesome detail just what a slow death eternal night would be.
* When ''[[The Emperor's New Groove]]'' was in its conceptual stages and called ''The Kingdom of the Sun'', Yzma's original plan involved summoning an [[Eldritch Abomination]] to snuff out the sun and plunge the kingdom into eternal darkness.
** She even got [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=374xW4zZbZA a great song] about it.
