Bering and Wells friends, it is time to pick your apples!

(bringing this over from Twitter from last year, where it has absolutely *languished*)

Which one do you covet?

("Possibly one of the strangest of all British apples; extremely old variety. Thin, pale skin, sometimes with a pink flush . Rather dry and tart, gains sweetness when prepared properly. Effervescent texture. Difficult for inexperienced handlers. Very long storage life. (1/8)")

("An unusually tall apple often flushed with red. Suitable for more northerly climates with heavy snowfall; one of Canada's best kept secret apples. Very versatile all-purpose apple; flavor is complex and pleasant. Extraordinary keeper, robust, healthy, but a shy bearer. (2/8)")

("Noted for being excellent choice for making American-style apple pie. Apples can weigh up to hatlf a kilogram and are famously large enough to make a pie from a single apple. Has excellent eating and keeping qualities. Has many sports. (3/8)")

("Small apple held in very high esteem by connoisseurs. Several highly colored strains are available. Flavor is more sharp than sweet when first picked but improves dramatically over time. Don't attempt to eat out of hand. Needs care; feral trees can be brought back with care.(4/8)")

("Smallish, squat, unusually irregular, warty and knobby surface. Extremely old variety for United States. Possibly has crab apple in its ancestry; tree is short and stocky. Tartness can make eyes water. Excellent keeper; resistant to fireblight. (5/8)")

("Keeps very well. Very versatile; not only does this apple cook well, but makes a good single-variety cider and keeps texture in baking. Flavor is nicely balanced, a honey-like sweetness balanced with a lemon-like citric acidity. Origin is uncertain. (6/8)")

("Cold-tolerant. Well-balanced flavor, medium-to-large size. Red in color with moderately conspicuous dots. Excellent all-purpose apple. Unusual in that it also makes excellent cider. Upright habit, productive bearer. (7/8)")

("Very old apple; possibly one of the oldest of all. Age of original tree unknown. Bracingly tart. Not a common apple; might have been the variety that inspired Isaac Newton to consider gravity. (8/8)")

Who, do you think, is who - and who would you pick?

It's September Fourtieth (Ed. Fourteenth!), and it's obvious that Mister Hyde's so excited the big day is approaching that he hasn't been able to sleep. Just look at them bags under his eyes!

Mrs Henry Evans Gordon by Frederic Leighton

Mrs Henry Evans Gordon née Mary (May) Sartoris, was the daughter of celebrated soprano Adelaide Kemble Sartoris. Leighton first met the Sartoris family in Rome in 1853 and kept up a close friendship with Adelaide Sartoris until her death in 1879. Leighton painted several portraits of May, of which this is the last. She is shown here wearing ‘aesthetic dress,’ which was a style of historicised loose-fitting clothing popular among the artistic upper classes in the late 19th century.

More on Mr. Henry Evans Gordon.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2022: THE TOP TEN

Greetings, Creatures of the Night! Once again it is that time of year where we reflect back and check in on what films are rocking the top ten of Scream’s Scene list of best to worst horror films of all time! (all time defined as 1895-1959) If you’re looking for some genuine classics to check out this year, we’ve got you covered, with running times and where to find them!

#10. Körkarlen (1921)

The Phantom Carriage is a haunting exploration of the horrors of alcoholism, domestic abuse, poverty, and tuberculosis as well as a critique of Christian naiveté while simultaneously an encouragement of spiritual moral values. It has the tone and pace of a dirge, as it seeks to imprint its message on your very soul. All wrapped up in a chilling story of New Year’s Eve and the spectre of Death! The Phantom Carriage is available to stream on The Criterion Channel, and to rent for $5.49 on Pantaflix. 1h 30m.

#9. Tōkaidō Yotsuya Kaidan (1959)

The kabuki play Tōkaidō Yotsuya Kaidan has been adapted to film many times, but perhaps none reach the heights of horror as Nobuo Nakagawa’s colour adaptation. Inspired both by kabuki and by the lurid style of Hammer Horror, this version of the classic Japanese ghost story delivers on a stylish, entertaining, and spooky story of haunting and revenge! Tōkaidō Yotsuya Kaidan is available to stream on The Criterion Channel. 1h 16m.

#8. I Walked With a Zombie (1943)

The second Val Lewton produced film on the list, I Walked With a Zombie is perhaps best described as Jane Eyre in the Caribbean, but what is surprising is that the film is also a well researched depiction of Voodoo practices for 1943. The haunting imagery, sparse sound design, and dreamlike poeticism of this film might make it among the most unique zombie movies you’ve ever seen, made in a time with zombies were supernatural undead slaves, instead of reanimated undead cannibals. Do yourself a favour and check it out - it’s available to buy online in SD for $9.99 from Apple iTunes, and $14.99 on Amazon Video, Google Play Movies and YouTube. 1h 8m.

#7. The Old Dark House (1932)

James Whale’s definitive take on this traditional mystery thriller formula is a movie that will have you laughing right until the moment it has you screaming. In some ways, it’s a movie of clichés, with the protagonists seeking shelter in an old mansion during a rainstorm in the night and having to deal with the reclusive family they find within. But the dark, brooding cinematography, and truly shocking twists that rivet up the intensity over the running time, all contribute to make this a harrowing watch. It’s one part Rocky Horror Picture Show, one part The Addams Family, and one part The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. I’m not kidding. The Old Dark House is currently streaming on AMC+, Fandor, Flix Fling, and Tubi. 1h 10m.

#6. Horror of Dracula (1958)

Hammer Films had been producing X-rated horror and sci-fi content for a while by the time they got around to producing an adaptation of Dracula, but everything they learned from the success of The Curse of Frankenstein they applied tenfold to Dracula. From the subversive opening act to the shockingly graphic (for the time) finale, this film is full of action and excitement, as well as a sexually feral Count played by Christopher Lee for the first time. A Halloween crowd pleaser! Horror of Dracula is available to rent for $4.99 on Apple iTunes, Cineplex, Google Play Movies, Microsoft Store, and YouTube. 1h 22m.

#5. The Spiral Staircase (1946)

This RKO classic is another great take on the old dark house subgenre, from noir director Robert Siodmak. A masterpiece of suspense, featuring wonderful production design and dynamite performances from its cast, this movie will draw you in to the world of a mute servant named Helen trapped in a dark manor on a stormy night with a whole cast of lunatics! A forerunner of giallo (no, really!), this classic and classy thriller is not to be missed! The Spiral Staircase is currently streaming on Flix Fling. 1h 23m.

#4. The Fly (1958)

While the 1986 remake may be more well known today, the original rendition of this body horror classic still retains a punch with its central mystery, compelling drama, and traumatic ending. Excellent creature effects and memorable moments like a woman screaming seen through compound eyes cement this as one of the great sci-fi/horror films of its time! The Fly is currently available to rent for $4.99 on Apple iTunes, Google Play Movies, Microsoft Store, and YouTube. 1h 34m.

#3. Gojira (1954)

Ishiro Honda’s classic giant monster movie, the progenitor of all kaiju and tokusatsu movies to come, is a masterpiece of ingenuity and imagination. But more than that, it’s a powerful statement about the horrors of nuclear war, an angry and relentless funeral dirge mourning for the Japanese lives lost and raging against the American foreign policy that continued to poison Japan with radiation even after the war. Godzilla is an apocalypse personified, the great revenge of the natural world against the hubris of man that has harmed it. But Gojira is also a film about the immense weight of personal and scientific responsibility weighed against the greater good, and its position on the use of weapons of mass destruction is perhaps more nuanced than you’d expect. Don’t let the campy reputation of Godzilla in the West fool you. Clear your mind of that and sit down to watch this powerful black & white epic. Gojira is streaming on Crave, The Criterion Channel, Plex, and Starz, and can be rented for $4.99 on Apple iTunes. 1h 38m.

The American adaptation Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) is also worth a watch, and is available on The Criterion Channel, Plex, Tubi, and to rent on iTunes.1h 20m.

#2. Cat People (1942)

Cat People is brilliant. The first of Val Lewton’s horror movies for RKO, it best exemplifies his shadow drenched, suggestive, adult, contemporary, and ambiguous brand of horror. Irena is convinced that if she experiences sexual excitement, she will turn into a black panther and kill the man she loves. Her husband is convinced it’s all in her head. What is the truth? Cat People gives the viewer plenty to chew on while being the first horror movie to understand that less is more, that the monster is scarier if you can’t see it, and also how to pull off a jump scare.You can find this absolute classic to stream on Amazon Prime, and to purchase for $9.99 on Apple iTunes, Google Play Movies, and YouTube. 1h 10m.

#1. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)

SIX YEARS RUNNING! Early on in the first Hollywood horror craze, Paramount Pictures managed to outdo their main competitor Universal with this masterpiece from director Rouben Mamoulian. With a use of sound, visuals, effects, script, and performance far beyond what most films were doing at the time, this adaptation reigns supreme among other versions of the same story. Fredric March utterly inhabits the dual title role, but it’s Miriam Hopkins’ performance that will stick with you in this superb examination of domestic abuse, alcoholism, and the beast that dwells within us. Currently for rent in SD on Apple iTunes, Google Play Movies, Microsoft Store, and YouTube for $4.99. 1h 38m. A new top ten for a new year, Creatures of the Night! But will Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde ever be knocked from it’s lofty perch? Keep tuning in to Scream Scene each week on Wednesday to find out! Happy Halloween everybody!
