Yeah, it was just to get an extra scare out of the ponyfolk. It's probably as the legends told NMM, since they did start dressing up and giving candy offerings to "appease" NMM, as they did tell of her gobbling up ponies on that night. Legends=/=reality. I mean, most of Equestria knows of the NMM of legend (even if they didn't really believe in her, or Luna) or at least, there's the tradition of Nightmare Night. Celestia and the Mane 6 (and arguably, the townsfolk of Ponyville who hadn't convinced themselves that the encounter with NMM was a dream) are the only living ponies who know of the true NMM. Well, Luna too, obviously.
