Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An Australian horror novel series for kids from 1997, coauthored by Paul Jennings and Morris Gleitzman. The same authors would later go on to write Deadly! (Paul Jennings), a similarly-themed series about a family of evil scientists discovering the formula of eternal youth.Received an animated adaptation in the early 2000s that ran for 26 episodes.A widower with a teenage daughter and a widow with a teenage son are getting married. Much to the distaste of their children, who hate each other and find constant reasons to argue. The fixation that Rory, the boy, has on an "appleman" — a doll with a head made from a dried out apple — that is the only thing he has left of his Disappeared Dad is an excellent excuse for Dawn (the girl). And then worms emerge from the apple... worms with tongues. That suck the guts out of other living creatures. And then things get really eerie...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Annoying Younger Sibling: How Dawn sees Rory. Not without reason though as he took her precious Milo tin to use as a container for the worm infested Appleman doll.

The effects the Virus has on human beings. They grow increasingly covered in thick white mold, which starts eating away at their flesh. Rory's dad shows up in the final book after having been infected for years, and doesn't look like anything human. In the animated series, it actually promotes the appleman from "Artifact of Doom" to "Big Bad" by changing Rory's dad so he's driven insane and develops a head exactly like a half-eaten apple.
