The whole concept of worms being in apples kind of fell off but I think it’s such a good first lesson for kids. Like just being aware an Apple could have a worm…that was really formative for me

spring horror is good because of the symbolism of death and rebirth and storms and everything being vibrant but still cold. and summer horror is good because sweltering heat and insects and long days. and fall horror is good because halloween and death and scary movies. and winter horror is good because snow contrasting with blood and freezing temperatures and long nights. btw.
