Here's the gist of the idea. The event is triggered by the use of a summoning item, called the Cursed Shadow Stone and Cursed Blood Stone (for Corruption and Crimson variants, respectively). They are crafted with a Cursed Sun Shard (which would be dropped by Golem), 25 Souls of Night, and Ebon/Crimstone (depending on what variant you're crafting.) When you use one at night, you get the message "A terrible dread takes hold of you. Something is wrong in the cosmos..." and the event begins the following morning. After the first use of the item, the event would have a random chance of occurring each day (proportional to the amount of Corruption/Crimson in your world), with the message displayed the previous night.
When the event starts, players will get the message "The sun fails to appear. The Corruption/Crimson is rising..." and there will be nothing in the sky except stars. The entire world will become completely (temporarily) corrupt, and fittingly evil music will play. (I'm thinking some kind of terrible combination of Eclipse, Crimson, Queen Bee, and Plantera.) Very difficult versions of the corrupt enemies will spawn, including super-difficult altered variants of the alternate-corrupt enemies. Spawn rate will be immensely high, and this makes this event as (or more) difficult than the Frost Moon. Here are some examples of what enemies from this event would look like on a Crimson world:
Bloodeater
Type: Crimson
Alteration of: Crimera

Damage:
120 (Head)
100 (Body)
70 (Tail)

I've also included a handful of examples from a Corruption world, so that the differences and similarities from both events can be seen more clearly:

(Note that all values are rounded, since they are nothing more than generalized values. The actual values can be changed and tweaked to more specific and fitting numbers.)
This idea serves the double purpose of giving other suggestions for new Hardmode Corrupt/Crimson bosses and equipment proposed by others in the community, so lots of additional ideas can be combined with this one to create a complete event with enemies, bosses, loot, and all. I hope you like this idea and come up with ways to combine it with others, so that this could end up as an awesome addition to the game.
Thank you for your consideration.
