00:00:00For those of you who have had the pleasure of visiting Evergreen Lane, you know what
00:00:11I mean when I say this is the most festive street in America.
00:00:15And for those of you who have never had the chance to visit us, fret not, because you
00:00:19are about to see a street that carries the spirit of the holidays all year round.
00:00:24Normally this cul-de-sac is the center of all neighborhood activity, but today we all
00:00:30had a previous engagement.
00:00:33There has never been a more deserving bride and groom than you and Jared.
00:00:36I love you guys so much.
00:00:38Thank you for being my bridesmaids.
00:00:39I'm so lucky.
00:00:40Don't make me cry before the vows.
00:00:42Not cool, Emily.
00:00:45And before I use this for myself, I hand embroidered it.
00:00:50Something new and something blue, so it counts as two.
00:00:54This is beautiful.
00:00:55I am so honored that you borrowed my old tiara and veil.
00:01:00I wore it when I was Snow Queen at college.
00:01:03I'm the one that's honored.
00:01:05It's gorgeous.
00:01:06You look spectacular.
00:01:11You really do.
00:01:13Can you believe the Johnsons won't be here?
00:01:15Hey now, no need to talk about they who have left the lane.
00:01:18And you didn't need to make him a groomsman in absentia.
00:01:21Why do you care that he's an honorary groomsman?
00:01:23You are my best man.
00:01:26That's why you're here with me on the most important day of my life.
00:01:29You, me, and Bob.
00:01:31Hey, we're all out of Vienna sausages.
00:01:34No, no.
00:01:35The charcuterie is for the groom.
00:01:37I will do groom once.
00:01:38It's okay.
00:01:39It's okay.
00:01:40I'm far too nervous to eat.
00:01:41Maybe I've got something that could help.
00:01:44Homemade Bavarian mead made with honey from my very own apiary.
00:01:48The HOA handbook says nothing about beekeeping, Ned.
00:01:51Well, until it's amended, just mind your own bees-ness and let's have a toast.
00:01:56Here's to the next chapter of life, love, and pursuit of the holidays.
00:02:01Cheers.
00:02:03Cheers.
00:02:05Sweetheart, it's time.
00:02:08Okay, Mom.
00:02:09Yes, dear?
00:02:10Do not call my mom dear.
00:02:12Gentlemen, let's do this.
00:02:15Yeah.
00:02:16Everybody sit down, please.
00:02:18You look beautiful.
00:02:23Hey.
00:02:24Hey.
00:02:25Hey.
00:02:26Dearly beloved.
00:02:27We are gathered today to celebrate the union of these two beautiful souls.
00:02:30Emily, the moment I fell in love with you was captured on a Polaroid picture.
00:02:37We were seven years old on your front porch.
00:02:38And from that day on, I've been looking forward to this day.
00:02:44As I stand in front of you today, although my knees are shaking a bit like that Polaroid picture,
00:02:51I've watched you develop into this beautiful, I've watched you develop into this beautiful,
00:02:58smart, kind woman that I could spend the rest of my life with.
00:03:05I promise you I will do my best to paint a perfect picture of love and devotion together forever.
00:03:12Jared, I always knew there was something very special about you.
00:03:13Jared, I always knew there was something very special about you.
00:03:19And when we reconnected, everyone reminded me of what an amazing architect you are.
00:03:26And when we reconnected, everyone reminded me of what an amazing architect you are.
00:03:34And they were right.
00:03:51The way you have designed your life with loyalty for the ones you love.
00:03:55And it shows me who you really are at your core.
00:03:58You make me feel safe and supported.
00:04:02And there is no one I would rather make plans to build the rest of my life with than you.
00:04:09Emily Melrose, do you take Jared to be your lawful wedded husband?
00:04:14I do.
00:04:15Jared Farnsworth, do you take Emily to be your lawful wedded wife?
00:04:19Absolutely, without a doubt. I do.
00:04:23Then, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife and you may now kiss the bride.
00:04:30So hold on to your heart, love. I've searched high and low sea.
00:04:37I love you!
00:04:40For the first time ever, Mr. and Mrs. Jared, part one!
00:04:45Each day gets closer, so hold on stronger to me.
00:04:53You may be wondering why we didn't do a Christmas wedding.
00:04:56We considered it, but in memory of Jared's late father, we chose to do it on his parents' anniversary.
00:05:02And even though we had a fun-filled honeymoon planned, we were both excited to get back home and get into the spirit of the upcoming holidays.
00:05:10The only problem was, this year, we had no idea what kind of spirit it would bring.
00:05:17Ghosts and ghouls.
00:05:39What in the Samhain?
00:05:50Silver Squad to Green Team, are you seeing what we're seeing?
00:06:01Looks like we got a couple bona fide Frida-philes.
00:06:05Gonna move in for a closer look.
00:06:08Watch my six.
00:06:09Double-double toil and trouble.
00:06:22Alright, so what are we gonna do about this, folks?
00:06:24Should I get the president on the line?
00:06:26Let him enjoy his honeymoon.
00:06:27We'll break it to him when he gets back.
00:06:28We get it, Belinda.
00:06:29You want grandchildren, but I think he would want to know.
00:06:31Don't mess this up for me.
00:06:35Are you excited, my lovely?
00:06:37By the pricking of my thumb, something wicked this way comes.
00:06:41I'll take that as a yes.
00:06:45You have too many ghosts.
00:06:47Not enough headstones.
00:06:49Come on, people.
00:06:50Get it right.
00:06:51Oh, oh, oh, you're a squirrel.
00:06:54Jared, you really didn't have to spring for a stretch limo.
00:06:57We're just on our way home from the airport.
00:06:58Oh, but I did.
00:06:59We were still on our honeymoon.
00:07:00It was the best honeymoon ever.
00:07:03I enjoyed every second of it with you.
00:07:05You know what?
00:07:06After two weeks in Scandinavia, I am actually really excited to get back home.
00:07:10I could have used one more week in Frafuland.
00:07:11I think I preferred Itzkyldunia.
00:07:13I wonder if you'll feel the same way after we celebrate Valpergus Night this spring.
00:07:17I pre-booked the hotel and everything.
00:07:18I'm sorry, what?
00:07:19The biggest Swedish springtime festival that there is.
00:07:22Apparently, it's not to be missed.
00:07:23Honey, I love that you're a planner, but vacations are kind of something we need to plan together now.
00:07:28You're right.
00:07:30You're right.
00:07:30I just got too excited.
00:07:31I'm used to planning things on my own.
00:07:33But now, we're married.
00:07:36We make decisions together.
00:07:38Yeah.
00:07:38Because you're my wife.
00:07:39My husband.
00:07:41I love you.
00:07:46Oh.
00:07:47Oh, wow.
00:07:52Oh, wow.
00:07:54I wonder if Pamela's remodel is done.
00:07:56Glad she liked the design.
00:07:57Oh, she was so happy with it.
00:07:58You did such a good job.
00:08:00I wish I was as fulfilled at my job as you are.
00:08:02You're literally the best writer right now.
00:08:04Copywriter.
00:08:05I said what I said.
00:08:06I mean it.
00:08:06Thanks, love.
00:08:07I'll get back into it.
00:08:08I just wish we could stay in Fantasyland a little bit longer.
00:08:11Well, then you are in luck.
00:08:12Because like the medieval knights of the old, I shall carry you over the threshold of our new castle.
00:08:17Really not necessary.
00:08:18It's a sign of my love and affection for you.
00:08:21A literal symbol that I would drop everything on account of your beck and call.
00:08:26Jared!
00:08:30Jared!
00:08:31Jared!
00:08:32Jared!
00:08:33Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:08:34Here.
00:08:34Get me up.
00:08:35Get me here.
00:08:36Are you okay?
00:08:37Are you sure?
00:08:37I'm okay.
00:08:37I'm fine.
00:08:38Oh, no.
00:08:39Not again.
00:08:40It's time.
00:08:41No, no, no, no, Jared.
00:08:41Let's bring it down a notch.
00:08:42Remember the mantra we've been working on?
00:08:44Not my weeds.
00:08:45Not my garden.
00:08:45Emily, when you hold the mantle of the presidency, this entire neighborhood is my garden.
00:08:53Oh, if you will.
00:08:57You brought the clipboard on the honeymoon?
00:09:02You rang?
00:09:06Yes, I did ring.
00:09:07I wanted to introduce myself and ask you a few questions about your understanding of the HOA guidelines.
00:09:13Honey, I don't think that's an actual person.
00:09:15I think that's a recording.
00:09:16I think you're probably right.
00:09:20Sorry.
00:09:21Seriously, did you guys ring?
00:09:23Hi.
00:09:26Hi.
00:09:27I am Jared Farnsworth, HOA president of this lovely neighborhood.
00:09:30This is my first counselor and head of activities committee, Emily Melrose.
00:09:34Farnsworth?
00:09:35Emily Farnsworth.
00:09:36It's my newest title.
00:09:37Jared and I got married last month.
00:09:38Congratulations.
00:09:39We've heard tale of the presidential power couple.
00:09:41I had a premonition we would be graced by your presence.
00:09:44Won't you come inside?
00:09:45That would be amazing.
00:09:46It would.
00:09:46It would.
00:09:47Except that my wife and I, we just got back from our honeymoon.
00:09:50And we're very, very, very tired.
00:09:51That's nothing a little jack-o'-lantern java won't fix.
00:09:54And Marvin makes them extra strong.
00:09:56Yes, I do.
00:09:57That sounds amazing.
00:09:58Sure it is.
00:09:59Sure it is.
00:09:59Except that we haven't been deloused yet.
00:10:01Deloused?
00:10:02Yes.
00:10:02But in the meantime, per your display, as detailed as it is, we are going to have to ask you to, you know,
00:10:08pare it back.
00:10:08Pare it back?
00:10:09The lights and the pumpkins can stay a great touch, actually, but your lawn display has
00:10:14to go back into the crib, as it were.
00:10:20I don't understand.
00:10:21Our realtor told us this was the most festive neighborhood in all of the state of Utah.
00:10:26And we are.
00:10:27Yes, at Christmas.
00:10:28We are ever green lane, not ever screen lane.
00:10:31Whatever screen lane.
00:10:33No, don't do that.
00:10:36That was just a very clever play on words for me to emphasize my point.
00:10:40Which is what, exactly?
00:10:42Per HOA guidelines, we, um, it, it says that section 12, I'm pretty sure it says you have
00:10:52too much Halloween.
00:10:53Well, that's not what Albert told us.
00:10:54And it was confirmed by Gabe.
00:10:56Oh, so you've met my parents.
00:10:57They were the first to welcome us to the neighborhood.
00:10:59So nice of you both to let them stay with you for the rest of hurricane season, especially
00:11:04right after the wedding.
00:11:05Must be scoring some serious son-in-law points there.
00:11:09Well, I better be.
00:11:11You know what?
00:11:12Why don't you just excuse us?
00:11:13We're going to get settled.
00:11:13And then we can discuss this whole in-laws and by-laws situation.
00:11:16Does that sound okay?
00:11:17Fair as foul and foul as fair.
00:11:20Just let us know.
00:11:22Will do.
00:11:23Let's go.
00:11:23Very good.
00:11:25So great to meet you.
00:11:26Ta-ta.
00:11:27Stay near.
00:11:28It's a strange couple.
00:11:30Indeed.
00:11:35I really hope you're not mad at me.
00:11:36I'm definitely not mad, Emily.
00:11:38I'm just a little surprised is all.
00:11:40Why didn't you tell me you invited them?
00:11:41So sorry.
00:11:41My mom asked in the middle of the wedding craziness and I just forgot.
00:11:45I truly am sorry.
00:11:46But they're in the guest loft above the garage.
00:11:48You're never going to see them.
00:11:50Don't apologize.
00:11:51I love your parents.
00:11:52I love hosting your parents.
00:11:53It's just, you know, like you said, it's just me and you now.
00:11:56So I just want to be on the same page on this stuff.
00:11:58That's all.
00:11:59Absolutely.
00:11:59I got your back.
00:12:01And I've got yours.
00:12:04Now, let's take care of this decoration situation.
00:12:07All right.
00:12:09Jared, what seems to be the problem?
00:12:11Oh, I don't know, Halbert.
00:12:12Maybe the fact that we got back from the wedding of our dreams only returned to a nightmare.
00:12:15It's just a few lawn decorations.
00:12:17That's how it starts.
00:12:19And this, you know, the younger generation, they're sneaking out of their bedrooms, searching
00:12:22for the great pumpkin.
00:12:22Let's not get crazy now.
00:12:24I'm not.
00:12:25It's just, I'm hoping we are being sensitive to those who may not feel comfortable celebrating
00:12:33this time of year.
00:12:35We have bylaws put in place like this for a reason, right?
00:12:37But that's not entirely true.
00:12:39What do you mean it's not true?
00:12:40The motion to de-escalate the other holidays was proposed and hotly debated.
00:12:45But in the end, it was never voted on and therefore never passed.
00:12:50What other lies have I been told?
00:12:53Nobody lied to you, Jared.
00:12:54The council just decided after what happened, maybe a vote wasn't necessary.
00:13:00Everyone agreed to honor the de-escalation of Halloween out of respect.
00:13:05But technically, there's no official bylaw.
00:13:07What do you mean after what happened?
00:13:09Oh, honey, have you forgotten?
00:13:12We did all of this for you.
00:13:14For me?
00:13:16Maybe she blocked it out.
00:13:18It was the last big Halloween we celebrated on the lane.
00:13:24You mean the last year with Grandma?
00:13:32Excuse me.
00:13:34I'll be in the basement.
00:13:37The ba-
00:13:38What?
00:13:48Hey, Graham Graham.
00:14:04I'm sorry I left you down here.
00:14:07I just couldn't figure out exactly where to put you.
00:14:10Your memory lives best in my head anyway.
00:14:16I know it's not the best way to deal with things, but here we are in a basement full of old memories.
00:14:23No one can bother us.
00:14:25Jiminy Christmas, you scared me.
00:14:27I'm sorry.
00:14:27I know how you feel about basements.
00:14:30Well, you've been down here for, wow, 27 minutes and counting.
00:14:34It's got to be a record for me.
00:14:36Honestly, it's not that bad.
00:14:37What was that?
00:14:43Bernice.
00:14:45Yeah, I know.
00:14:46I still hate it down here.
00:14:50You okay?
00:14:52Yeah.
00:14:53I'll be fine.
00:14:54I think I've just been so focused on the wedding and our future that I kind of forgot about the past.
00:15:03Well, she was a great woman.
00:15:07Yeah, I can still hear her voice.
00:15:10Remember what she always used to say to us?
00:15:13You two belong in a storybook.
00:15:19It's Halloween, sweetie.
00:15:21What could you possibly be upset about?
00:15:23Ashlyn Ashworth and her friends just like scarecrows in her yard, and they totally jumped out and scared us.
00:15:29You got yard yelp, did you?
00:15:31Yep.
00:15:31Don't let them get to you.
00:15:33They were just trying to have fun.
00:15:34But I ran so fast, I spilled my candy on the way back.
00:15:38That's okay, Emily.
00:15:40I'll share mine.
00:15:41Jared, that won't be necessary.
00:15:43I'll take you two out on the golf cart.
00:15:45Awesome.
00:15:46I heard Mary Louise and Bob are giving out full-size candy bars.
00:15:50We've got to get there before they run out.
00:15:51All in good time, my pretties.
00:15:54All in good time.
00:15:59Before we go, why don't you tell Jared what I always say about Halloween?
00:16:04Never go to Ned's house.
00:16:06He only gives out freeze-dried elk liver.
00:16:09True.
00:16:09What else do I say about Halloween?
00:16:11It started as a day to remember those who passed away.
00:16:14Even though we get to dress up and get candy from our friends and family, we should also
00:16:20remember our friends and family members that aren't with us anymore.
00:16:23And not only should we remember them, but they should be celebrated.
00:16:27But why do we dress up?
00:16:29Because it's tradition.
00:16:31And there's no better way to connect with your friends and neighbors than through age-old
00:16:35traditions.
00:16:36Now what do you say we get back to my favorite one of all?
00:16:39Trick-or-treating!
00:16:40Let's do it!
00:16:41All right, kids.
00:16:43My own up!
00:16:43Woo!
00:16:44Happy Halloween!
00:16:46We got so much candy that year.
00:16:48Buckets full.
00:16:51I had no idea that'd be the last time she took us trick-or-treating.
00:16:55She was gone just two weeks later.
00:16:58That's when the neighborhood decided to take a step back?
00:17:00She was the center of the celebration with her creativity and the costumes and the decorations.
00:17:06She always inspired everybody.
00:17:07Halloween was never the same without her.
00:17:09Of course I was heartbroken when she passed, but I had no idea that's why everyone else pulled
00:17:13back from celebrating.
00:17:14And I never asked for that.
00:17:16And certainly not something Graham Graham would have wanted.
00:17:19Oh, you're right.
00:17:19She said it herself.
00:17:21Halloween is for remembering your loved ones and having a whole lot of fun.
00:17:24Hmm.
00:17:25It's time we bring Halloween back.
00:17:28Evergreen style.
00:17:29Are you sure about this?
00:17:30No.
00:17:31I'm not sure about this.
00:17:32I'm actually scared hot to death about this.
00:17:34You know how I am.
00:17:35I don't like scary movies.
00:17:36I don't even like movies that people say aren't scary, but definitely are.
00:17:38Tell me about it.
00:17:38I've been trying to get you to finish NeverEnding Story for forever.
00:17:41Yeah, that's never gonna happen, because I hate quicksand as much as I hate scary basements.
00:17:45Noted.
00:17:45But it's time for you to wake up and face the creepy organ music.
00:17:49For the neighborhood.
00:17:51And for Grandma.
00:17:52And for you.
00:17:53Now, let's get you out of here.
00:17:58First.
00:17:58No kissing in the creepy basement.
00:18:00Fair enough.
00:18:02Speed it up, buttercup.
00:18:03We got work to do.
00:18:06Looking good, Grandma.
00:18:08I figured I could call you that.
00:18:11I'll let him officially in the family.
00:18:14Don't worry.
00:18:16We're gonna make you proud.
00:18:17Come up to the attic.
00:18:20You have to see this.
00:18:22Em, do you just want to bring him down here?
00:18:24I can't.
00:18:25Just, please, just come up.
00:18:27Look what I found.
00:18:41A portal to Pan's Labyrinth?
00:18:43My grandma's witch hat.
00:18:59Oh, there's so much great stuff up here.
00:19:02I can see why you spent so much time here.
00:19:04Wait, you've never been to my attic?
00:19:06No.
00:19:07I was never allowed.
00:19:08Apparently, I'm still trespassing.
00:19:09No boys allowed.
00:19:11Even Jawed Farnsworth.
00:19:13The spelling was atrocious.
00:19:15In your defense, that is the way I used to pronounce it.
00:19:17Well, Jared Farnsworth is very much allowed up here.
00:19:20He's not a boy.
00:19:21He's a man.
00:19:22My man.
00:19:22Mm-hmm.
00:19:25All right, we have to brainstorm how we are gonna make this the best Halloween in years.
00:19:28We could start by selling tickets to this creepy attic.
00:19:31Come on, it's not that creepy.
00:19:34I will not be ashamed by my choice in music.
00:19:36And how do you explain the creepy typewriter from The Shining?
00:19:39That was my grandma's.
00:19:40She taught me to type on that one.
00:19:42Yeah, and that was the desk where I would sit and write all my stories.
00:19:46You know, maybe this is a message from her to get you to start writing again.
00:19:48I wish she'd sent that message to my former agent or publisher or two.
00:19:54I spent most of my 20s trying to make a career out of writing stories, but it just wasn't meant to be.
00:20:00Maybe it's best this chapter of my life is left up here, just a beautiful childhood memory.
00:20:06This was your dream, Em.
00:20:07Yeah, but when your dream is just collecting dust in a box, it's time to pack it up and move on.
00:20:15All right, we gotta get busy.
00:20:16Okay.
00:20:17We have an HOA meeting to plan.
00:20:18Yes!
00:20:18We have some serious bylaws to propose.
00:20:20I am going to mobilize the ladies of the activities committee, and if you could coordinate with Ned about a venue.
00:20:25On it.
00:20:38Oh, Jared.
00:20:46Thanks for the inspiration, Graham.
00:20:47We'll make you proud.
00:20:49All right, evergreen ladies.
00:20:54This may come as a very big surprise, but in honor of my sweet Grandma Melrose, I want to help bring back Halloween in a big way.
00:21:02So let's get a good old-fashioned brainstorm going on the thread.
00:21:05Traditions, old and new.
00:21:06All ideas welcome fire him off.
00:21:08And as Graham Graham would say, mount up!
00:21:11Come on, honey, let's go.
00:21:15Ned's hosting, and you know he needs a good 36-hour advance notice to demust the place.
00:21:19Coming, sweetheart.
00:21:20I thought we agreed after the last time that we weren't going to hold the HOA meetings at Ned's anymore.
00:21:29I mean, he served expired military rations.
00:21:32I think we should have a potluck, Joel.
00:21:34Well, then we're going to need a lot of luck because Susie's funeral potatoes almost killed me.
00:21:38I'm impressed you really upped your game here.
00:21:41What, is the queen coming?
00:21:42Nothing says royalty like charcuterie.
00:21:44I've got the donuts!
00:21:46Gips on the creepy cruller!
00:21:47Ned, don't push me on the pastries.
00:21:50You can't have a creepy cruller because they don't exist.
00:21:54Wait, there are only crullers?
00:21:56No donuts?
00:21:57I know how popular they are, so I made them all crullers.
00:22:00I'm sorry, what did you say?
00:22:01Crullers.
00:22:02I, I said crullers.
00:22:04That's what I thought.
00:22:04Thank you, Belinda.
00:22:06At least you won't embarrass yourself leg-wrestling Bob for one of them.
00:22:09I would have won if he let me wear my orthotic sneakers.
00:22:12It was barefoot or bust in my day.
00:22:15That's because they hadn't invented shoes yet.
00:22:17So, what's the tea, fam?
00:22:20Are the new neighbors going to show up today?
00:22:23If they do, I'm sure it'll be in a puff of smoke or on broom back.
00:22:26I swear, those two are witches.
00:22:29Have you ever heard that Luna speak?
00:22:30Every word she says sounds like she's casting a spell.
00:22:34So spooky.
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:35They've been invited, as per Jared, in the Prima Conventus Clause of 94.
00:22:40I've heard that Marvin is a mortgage banker by day
00:22:43and moonlights as an undertaker just for kicks.
00:22:47I don't know what they called them in the 19th century,
00:22:50but today we call them morticians.
00:22:52And where did you hear that from, anyway?
00:22:54I'll give you a hint.
00:22:55He wears a singlet for underwear and he believes that pro wrestling is real.
00:23:02If a masked man gave you the tombstone pile driver at a Waffle House outside of Galveston,
00:23:07I assure you, you would know just how real it is.
00:23:11I can see that your ongoing litigation with the undertaker hasn't been resolved.
00:23:15That doesn't mean that Marvin works in a mortuary for fun.
00:23:19Think about it.
00:23:19The initial's M. Balmer.
00:23:21M. Balmer!
00:23:24What kind of a cruel joke were his parents playing?
00:23:26Worst part is, I am M. Balmer V.
00:23:29So that's five generations of being bullied in middle school.
00:23:32But no, I am not a mortician for fun or professionally.
00:23:35Just want to clear that up from the jump.
00:23:37Sorry, didn't mean to be rude.
00:23:38Not offended in the least.
00:23:39Round about the cauldron go.
00:23:42In the poison entrails throw.
00:23:44Not the poison men in the entrails.
00:23:47And while we're at it, my wife is not a witch.
00:23:50Exactly what a witch would say.
00:23:52Dibs on the ruby slippers.
00:23:54Round about the cauldron go.
00:23:56In the poison entrails throw.
00:23:58Oh, yes.
00:24:01Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:03You guys must think I'm crazy.
00:24:05I just got cast in Macbeth at the Castle Theater.
00:24:07She's going to be witch number one.
00:24:08Yeah, that's sort of a dream role for me.
00:24:11Your dream role is witch number one?
00:24:13Yeah, because witch number two was already cast.
00:24:15Marvin and I are English professors at UVU and total Shakespeare buffs.
00:24:20What light through yonder window breaks.
00:24:23Tis our new neighbors and Halloween is their sun.
00:24:26I see we have a fellow Shakespearean among us.
00:24:28Just got my bard card renewed a fortnight ago.
00:24:31Huzzah!
00:24:33Here we go.
00:24:34And your lawn display is amazing, B.T. Dibs.
00:24:37An homage to the great tragedies.
00:24:40Shakespeare was the father of the modern horror genre.
00:24:42Thou speaketh truth.
00:24:44Aye!
00:24:44Aye!
00:24:46All right, at last, I hate to break up this fun little drama camp we've got going on here,
00:24:52but this is Evergreen Lane, not the Globe Theater.
00:24:56And our HOA president would never allow this level of theatrics.
00:25:04Ladies and gentlemen of the HOA, for the first time ever, we present you...
00:25:09To your master stations, boo!
00:25:17Boo!
00:25:17Boo!
00:25:17Boo!
00:25:18Boo!
00:25:18Boo!
00:25:19Boo!
00:25:19Boo!
00:25:19Boo!
00:25:20Boo!
00:25:20Boo!
00:25:21Boo!
00:25:21Boo!
00:25:22Boo!
00:25:22Boo!
00:25:23Boo!
00:25:23Boo!
00:25:24Boo!
00:25:24Boo!
00:25:25Boo!
00:25:25Boo!
00:25:26Boo!
00:25:27Boo!
00:25:28Boo!
00:25:29Ladies and gentlemen, I do apologize for this late start.
00:25:32I was unaware of the potency of indoor smoke bombs.
00:25:35You could have just borrowed my Bulgarian fog condenser, but whatever.
00:25:39Noted.
00:25:41I'm sure you're all wondering why we called this last minute meeting.
00:25:44No.
00:25:45Not really.
00:25:46Emily emailed us all an itinerary last night.
00:25:48Great.
00:25:49I'm sure you're all wondering why the change of heart there.
00:25:51No.
00:25:52Emily sent us a very inspirational voice memo explaining everything.
00:25:56Did she now?
00:25:57It's great.
00:25:58Well, I guess I'm not sure what I'm doing here other than just looking pretty fly in my vintage
00:26:02J-pressed suit.
00:26:03You look great, babe.
00:26:04Do you want me to take this?
00:26:05Please, please.
00:26:06All right, everyone.
00:26:07Per addendum B, subparagraph C of the HOA Handbook, the head of the Activities Committee
00:26:13has the right and obligation to propose and uphold traditions new and old.
00:26:19I love it when you speak by law.
00:26:20I learn from the best.
00:26:21Wow.
00:26:22You two really took that two-become-one homily to heart.
00:26:25Oh, thank you so much.
00:26:26That's so sweet.
00:26:27Okay, please stop.
00:26:28So, I took the committee's feedback.
00:26:30I ran it by Mr. President here.
00:26:32And we have decided to turn Evergreen Lane into...
00:26:37Everscreen Lane!
00:26:41We have taken the traditions of yesteryear combined with the zeitgeist of current day
00:26:47to bring this spooky season to life in a new and thrilling way.
00:26:51Inspired by the boldness of the Balmers,
00:26:54each household will be required to create a Halloween lawn display
00:26:58to bring the spirit of this holiday to life.
00:27:00You have one week to get your displays together,
00:27:03or there will be consequences.
00:27:06I mean, it'll be like, you know, a citation or community service hours.
00:27:09But do not tempt me, for I have fresh citation pads.
00:27:13There will be daily activities leading up to Halloween,
00:27:16such as a pumpkin painting contest.
00:27:19Painting?
00:27:20Why don't we just carve those puppies?
00:27:22Because, Ned, pumpkin guts are gross, they're stringy, they're slimy, no.
00:27:25But it's very visceral for me.
00:27:27Okay, please, Ned, we don't have time for your sensory obsession.
00:27:31Touch your corduroys.
00:27:32Thank you, Pamela.
00:27:33You're gonna be thrilled to know that there will be a beastly bake-off.
00:27:36Yes!
00:27:39Oh, my gosh.
00:27:40I could be Ghoulia Child.
00:27:42With spooky sweaters.
00:27:44And just how we do a toy drive at Christmas,
00:27:46we will be doing a charity food drive.
00:27:48But, to top it all off...
00:27:51Sorry, okay, Jared really wanted to do this part, so good.
00:27:55Thank you so much, honey.
00:27:56And to top it all off on All Hallows' Eve...
00:27:59October 31st, Halloween.
00:28:01After the tricks have been played,
00:28:03after the treats have been treated,
00:28:06we will have a cul-de-sac carnival costume competition!
00:28:11So bring that creativity to life.
00:28:14Are there any rules to who we can or cannot impersonate?
00:28:18No more foreign dignitaries, we do not need the FBI here again.
00:28:21Yes, Ned, please keep all costumes within the parameters of HOA guidelines
00:28:24and in accordance with state and federal laws.
00:28:26Tricky, but not impossible.
00:28:28In light of all this, we have something we'd like to propose.
00:28:32That is, if we can't invoke Addendum 3 of the party protocol.
00:28:35Oh, well, invoke away, please.
00:28:36I know you already have the food drive planned,
00:28:38but every year we do a big spooky alley in our front yard.
00:28:43We go all out to raise money for the children's hospital.
00:28:46As a young girl, I was treated there, and they saved my life.
00:28:50So we try to do everything we can to give back.
00:28:53That's amazing. I mean, you've dealt with the charity. I love it.
00:28:56Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:28:59How spooky are we talking?
00:29:00Say like a 5 or a 6 on the Nosferatu meter?
00:29:03We hit a 7.5 once.
00:29:05No, no.
00:29:077.5?
00:29:08But that was close to Y2K, so all sorts of things were happening.
00:29:11That won't happen again.
00:29:13Okay, I'm not opposed to it. As long as we remember this is for the kids, so we have to keep the scare factor to a 5 or below.
00:29:23Yeah, of course.
00:29:24Should we just take a vote?
00:29:25Well, I think we have to. I mean, that's part of the bylaws.
00:29:28And that settles it. I'll pass out some ballots, and we can decide if this neighborhood is ready to come together to face our biggest fears this Halloween.
00:29:37I've already faced my greatest fear, a hot yoga class taught by Ned.
00:29:41It's free on Thursdays.
00:29:42Oh, it might be free, but you will pay dearly. Trust me. Now take me off your MailChimp.
00:29:50Halloween is back, baby.
00:29:56Okay. I hope pumpkin spiced your latte.
00:29:59I'm just so excited. The vote was unanimous. Everyone loved my Halloween plans.
00:30:04And then our new neighbors had this amazing idea to do this outdoor spooky alley, and it's gonna raise money for the Children's Hospital.
00:30:09First lady of ever Scream Lane. You're really taking charge. Carving up the HOA handbook.
00:30:14How's Jared doing with all this?
00:30:16At first, it was really hard for him to transition his mind to a new holiday.
00:30:19Kind of like he's cheating on Christmas.
00:30:21Right. But now that he's in it, he's doubling down.
00:30:23It's like Kevin in K-pop.
00:30:24This is new.
00:30:25I played one song for him. One time he totally made fun of me. The next day, it was all he was listening to. He's basically made it his whole personality.
00:30:32Same thing with Jared. He's been driving all the way to Provo to go to this tailor-made costume store almost every day.
00:30:37You are in it.
00:30:38We are, but it is just a lot to balance with work. I feel like I'm kind of just going through the motions. I mean, I'm doing a good job, but it's just, it's not fulfilling.
00:30:47Welcome to most of America.
00:30:48I think it's just, you know, the wedding and the honeymoon. It was so perfect. I just want to relive it.
00:30:52Well, the honeymoon phase is great, but the real joy of marriage is the journey that lies ahead.
00:30:58I love that.
00:30:59Speaking of, I have to get that little journey to piano lessons. Honey, you want to wrap up that book you're reading? We got to get going.
00:31:06All done. I finished the whole series actually. Do you have any more?
00:31:10Oh, I didn't even realize Jared had brought that box down from the attic. No, I only wrote the seven.
00:31:16Seven? How come I only knew about one?
00:31:18After my agent didn't get any bites on the first one, she dropped me like a T-Swift album. Didn't really make sense to continue.
00:31:24I really like the different aliens. Zolt is so funny. Really? What was your favorite part?
00:31:29Probably when the hover wagon was broken and Zolt was the only one who could fix it because of the combo wrench his dad gave him. Wow.
00:31:36He really did read it. Yep. Let me know if you write any more.
00:31:41Thanks, Nicole. I will.
00:31:56Oh, cute costume. You look adorable. So cute.
00:32:01You shall not pass!
00:32:09Lie, you fools.
00:32:10Boo!
00:32:11What are you doing here?
00:32:13I've been trying to ask you the same question, but someone I know doesn't answer their phone for the last two hours.
00:32:17I'm sorry. The store's a bit of a dead zone. Didn't you see the sign?
00:32:21Jared, that says undead zone. It's just a clever sign to sell zombie paraphernalia.
00:32:26I love this store.
00:32:28Clearly, you've been coming here every day since we jumped on this haunted hayride.
00:32:31I just want to feel inspired. You know, we have a costume contest coming up.
00:32:34No, no, no. We're doing Phantom of the Opera. We're singing the duet.
00:32:37Yeah, um, I wanted to talk to you about that.
00:32:40Jared, you know I don't do harmony.
00:32:42What if I did the contest... alone?
00:32:48Oh. Okay.
00:32:50Is that fine?
00:32:51Yeah, I mean, I... I don't know what to say, but...
00:32:55Honest reaction. Go.
00:32:57It's fine. Of course it's fine. Yeah.
00:32:59We have been doing a lot of stuff together lately, and maybe... maybe we should do some things on our own.
00:33:05Okay.
00:33:06So you're not annoyed!
00:33:07I'm only annoyed that now I have to figure out what I'm doing.
00:33:09Whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to be epic.
00:33:11Speaking of epic, we should discuss lawn display ASAP. Now, what are you thinking? Evil battling robots? Zombie apocalypse?
00:33:19No, no, no. This is what I wanted to tell you. I think I have found the perfect thing.
00:33:28I'm confused. I thought we were working on the lawn display.
00:33:30Look around. What does this remind you of?
00:33:33Mainly the fact that I missed lunch and I'm starving and I want to eat the entire store.
00:33:36No, think about it. Last Halloween with Grandma.
00:33:40Hansel and Gretel. The witch's gingerbread house.
00:33:43What's more Halloween than Grimm's fairy tale? And it's the perfect way to honor Grandma.
00:33:47I'm going to get to work on the blueprints immediately.
00:33:49We don't have time for blueprints.
00:33:50Once we build the witch's house, it'll be the perfect hiding spot for yard yelping.
00:33:54Jared! Yes!
00:33:55No! I didn't think you were into yard yelping.
00:33:57I'm not! I'm not!
00:34:03But if I was, I would be like the Daniel Day-Lewis of it.
00:34:06You know I hate when people do that.
00:34:08Actually, Nashville, it still haunts my dreams twenty years later.
00:34:13I could see her in that scarecrow makeup. She's lurking about.
00:34:16Oh, it's horrible. Horrible.
00:34:18Well, then why would you vote to protect yard yelping on the new HOA protocol?
00:34:22Because like it or not, it is a tradition. And traditions are important.
00:34:25But that's why I added the regulation to reduce the scare factor.
00:34:28That way, Everscream Lane is a Halloween destination for all. Young and old.
00:34:32So impressive.
00:34:33I just really want this to be next level.
00:34:35And it's going to be. Everyone can see it.
00:34:37Thanks.
00:34:39You know, though, speaking of Ashlyn, doesn't she host Wake Up Utah on Channel 6?
00:34:43Yes. Her mom and mine stayed friends after they moved.
00:34:47She mentions it every time she's on TV.
00:34:50Do you think she could put me in contact with her?
00:34:52Maybe they could do a story about what we're up to this year.
00:34:55Sure, but aren't you guys, like, frenemies?
00:34:58I mean, we were, but maybe it was a long time ago.
00:35:01And if it could help bring people to the carnival, that would be great.
00:35:04I mean, our neighborhood isn't exactly known as a Halloween destination.
00:35:07So if we want to raise some serious money for Children's Hospital,
00:35:10I do think it's worth a try.
00:35:12I like where your head's at.
00:35:13Cheers.
00:35:14Where's your stomach at? Because I'm starving.
00:35:15Excuse me. Can we get a dozen patries to go?
00:35:18And one is German chocolate cookies and...
00:35:20Oh, threw in two honey boys.
00:35:22Excuse me. Could I see this, please?
00:35:24The whiskey's orange.
00:35:26Ooh, they clear.
00:35:27Two declares.
00:35:34Careful, Bob. I don't want to fall down.
00:35:36He's a werewolf! Why would he be wearing a ball gown?
00:35:39Let's judge this guy up.
00:35:41Careful, that could be flammable. Trust me, I know.
00:35:46Jared! Slow down!
00:35:48Looking good, Belinda.
00:35:49Thanks, boo.
00:35:52Did you just call Ned your boo?
00:35:53No, I was just trying to scare him. Boo, did I scare you?
00:35:57Right out of my socks, girl.
00:36:00Hey, Jared, help me put the nails in my coffin.
00:36:05Gladly.
00:36:14Smile, you two.
00:36:15Oh, what a couple of handsomes you are.
00:36:18Ah!
00:36:19Oh, my goodness.
00:36:21Oh, you clown.
00:36:22You need some ice on this.
00:36:24Jared! A little help?
00:36:26Yeah, I got you.
00:36:27What do you clowns think you're doing?
00:36:29Ah, thank you.
00:36:30Jared, it has been a real circus around here with these guys.
00:36:34I swear, one of them is possessed.
00:36:36You know, clowns freak a lot of people out, but not me.
00:36:39I actually kind of like them.
00:36:41Well, you are braver than I am.
00:36:43You know, I'm going to try to get these guys set up over there.
00:36:45I mean, you've been working out.
00:36:47Could you get that big clown stood up?
00:36:49Of course.
00:36:50Anything, of course, Pamela.
00:36:51Sure.
00:36:53Oh!
00:36:54You just got yard-yelped.
00:36:58Hard!
00:37:00You did, Jared!
00:37:02You got me, Helen.
00:37:03You got me good.
00:37:04I thought you said clowns didn't scare you.
00:37:06Hope we didn't scare you too bad.
00:37:08Don't you ever apologize for a well-executed prank.
00:37:12Jared is a big boy.
00:37:13He can handle it.
00:37:14That's right.
00:37:15Oh, look.
00:37:16Nan and Melinda are trying to prank you, too.
00:37:20Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
00:37:22Oh, my gosh.
00:37:24Jared?
00:37:25Jared, are you okay?
00:37:26What's happening to him, Mom?
00:37:27I don't know, sweetie.
00:37:28Just go inside!
00:37:31Yes, dear.
00:37:32Whatever.
00:37:33Looking good, Melinda.
00:37:34Thanks, boo.
00:37:36Oh, I'm sorry.
00:37:37Oh, here we go.
00:37:38Oh.
00:37:39Is that better?
00:37:41Yeah.
00:37:42That's better.
00:37:43Jared, are you okay?
00:37:48I've seen that people.
00:37:49Jared, don't do anything crazy!
00:38:00Emily!
00:38:02Emily?
00:38:05Emily, where are you?
00:38:06I'm in the kitchen.
00:38:07Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:38:10Is everything okay?
00:38:11No!
00:38:12It's not okay.
00:38:13We are, in fact, in a worst-case scenario scenario.
00:38:15Did you get rejected from the Santa Academy?
00:38:17What, did you hear something?
00:38:18No!
00:38:19It's worse than that!
00:38:20How is that even possible?
00:38:21It's Ned.
00:38:22Did he steal your devil sticks?
00:38:23What? No.
00:38:24Where are those, by the way?
00:38:25It's so odd.
00:38:26Maybe they'll show up.
00:38:27It's so bad I don't even want to say it out loud.
00:38:28Okay, is he going through, like, a flat-earth phase again?
00:38:29It's worse than that!
00:38:30Okay, you're killing me, Small!
00:38:31Spit it out!
00:38:32Ned is dating my mom!
00:38:37Oh, no.
00:38:38I don't care what he says, I refuse to call him Dad.
00:38:44You might be getting ahead of yourself here.
00:38:46You don't know how serious it is yet.
00:38:47Whatever it was, it definitely was not in the friend zone.
00:38:50Do they know that you saw them flirting?
00:38:52No, and I'll never say a word, because I want it erased from my memory.
00:38:55Every time I close my eyes, I can just see the way they were looking at each other.
00:38:59Just focused and intense, like there was no one else in the cul-de-sac.
00:39:03It actually sounds kind of sweet.
00:39:04The man pours pickle brine in his shredded wheat.
00:39:07There's nothing sweet about him!
00:39:08I have to tell Pamela not to tell anyone.
00:39:13She saw two?
00:39:14Is that bad?
00:39:15That's not good.
00:39:16Is she going to tell everyone?
00:39:17I mean, that tea's probably too hot for her not to spill.
00:39:18We have to stop this.
00:39:19I get that you're upset, but you've got to remember they're adults, and Ned is...
00:39:22Ned, and maybe that's what your mom wants.
00:39:24Or maybe she's onto a spell.
00:39:26Didn't you say that he studied hypnosis in, uh, in Vienna?
00:39:28Jared, you have to talk to her.
00:39:30Ask her how she's feeling.
00:39:32She's obviously worried, and that's why she's hiding it from you.
00:39:35So tell her it's safe for her to talk to you about it.
00:39:37Well, at this point, I don't know if it is.
00:39:39Great.
00:39:40Okay, why don't you just take a breath?
00:39:41I can go work on the gingerbread house.
00:39:42I'm sure there's some gumdrops that need to be gummed, or some candy that needs to be caned.
00:39:46What?
00:39:47There's no candy canes at Halloween.
00:39:49Jared, just eat your pie.
00:39:50For you, I will.
00:39:51Needs more sprinkles.
00:39:52Hm.
00:39:53That looks good.
00:39:55When did you do this?
00:39:57I've been wrapped up with all this Ned knot since I haven't even noticed this.
00:40:00What are you doing over here?
00:40:01Jess was over here with Nicole the other day, and she read all of his books that you had
00:40:05brought down from the attic, and she really loved them, and it just kind of inspired me
00:40:09to pick it up again.
00:40:10You totally should.
00:40:11It's very casual.
00:40:12Just the neighborhood had inspired an idea, and it just, you know, just started sketching
00:40:15some things out.
00:40:16Sketch away, my love.
00:40:17Looks great.
00:40:18You're so talented.
00:40:20I love you.
00:40:21Oh!
00:40:22Oh my goodness, Ashlyn texted me back.
00:40:25Oh, nice.
00:40:26What'd she say?
00:40:27The Channel 6 News is coming to Everscreen Lane.
00:40:30What?
00:40:33I'm gonna text the girls.
00:40:35What happened there, Graham?
00:40:36How'd you go all ski-wampus on me again?
00:40:49Yeah.
00:40:52Everything's looking really good around here.
00:40:55And...
00:40:59I'm writing again.
00:41:00I mean, I'm not getting too excited just because of what happened last time, but I am having
00:41:05so much fun, and that's enough for me right now.
00:41:09Anyway, it's turning into the picture-perfect holiday, and it just feels like everything's
00:41:15come full circle.
00:41:19I only wish you were here to see it.
00:41:23Love you.
00:41:24Good night.
00:41:32I'm Ashlyn Ashworth, and welcome to Wake Up Utah.
00:41:35We are here on Evergreen Lane, or should I say Everscreen Lane, a neighborhood that is
00:41:40usually known for Christmas has traded its cheer for fear this spooky season.
00:41:46When we come back, we will join them as they kick off the much-anticipated neighborhood
00:41:50pumpkin painting contest, a tradition that has been squashed for over 25 years.
00:41:57I nailed that, right?
00:41:58Hey, is it a bad time?
00:41:59No, not at all.
00:42:00We're on commercial.
00:42:01It is great to see you, Emily.
00:42:03Good to see you, too.
00:42:04Thank you so much for coming.
00:42:05Oh, are you serious?
00:42:06I had to see this for myself.
00:42:07I still can't believe that you were behind all of this.
00:42:10We used to live here.
00:42:11You know how festive we get.
00:42:12For Christmas, sure.
00:42:13But ever since you got so scared by my scarecrow prank, this entire neighborhood turned into
00:42:18a ghost town on Halloween, remember?
00:42:20Oh, that is good.
00:42:21Hey, write that down.
00:42:22Oh, I remember.
00:42:23And so does my therapist, trust me.
00:42:25Come on, it wasn't that bad.
00:42:27I mean, your friend Jeremy was there, and he didn't seem too scared.
00:42:30Jared.
00:42:31Who?
00:42:32Me.
00:42:33Jared Farnsworth.
00:42:34Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:42:35I meet a lot of people.
00:42:36No, no.
00:42:37It's okay.
00:42:38I was with her the night that you yard-yelped us.
00:42:40Dressed as Hansel.
00:42:41You know, we were in Ms. Thornock's homeroom together.
00:42:43Super skinny legs.
00:42:44Always wanted to play the MASH game with us.
00:42:46Super nerdy.
00:42:47That's fun to hear.
00:42:48Oh, yeah.
00:42:49Big dorky glasses.
00:42:50And he would always rig the MASH game to end up with you.
00:42:52I was like, hello.
00:42:54Well, I guess he got his wish because we got married last month.
00:42:58That's amazing.
00:42:59Seriously, congrats you two.
00:43:02And thank you so much for doing this segment.
00:43:03It's really exciting.
00:43:04As HOA president, we really appreciate the exposure.
00:43:07To show how far we've come since we celebrated Halloween on this level.
00:43:11Of course.
00:43:12Do you want me to interview you two?
00:43:13No.
00:43:14I just was thinking we should keep it about the neighbor, you know?
00:43:17Totally.
00:43:18Okay, well, we're about to be back, so I can catch up with you guys later.
00:43:21Yeah, girl, do your thing.
00:43:22Okay.
00:43:23Uh, Ty, let's move.
00:43:25Let's go get more coverage.
00:43:26Do your thing, girl.
00:43:28What was that?
00:43:29I don't know.
00:43:30I mean, I get around her and I turn into plastic.
00:43:31That is the least of my concerns right now.
00:43:33I mean, look.
00:43:34Ned is at the table with my mom.
00:43:35They're on a team.
00:43:36Relax.
00:43:37How am I supposed to relax?
00:43:38It's Ned.
00:43:39And how do you feel about the Halloween traditions coming back to life?
00:43:42It's simply gorgeous.
00:43:44Did you see what I did there?
00:43:46Gord.
00:43:47Gordages.
00:43:48That is a good one.
00:43:49Did you just come up with that?
00:43:50That's been ripening on the vine for years.
00:43:52Don't make me put you done for now, Bob.
00:43:54When you're known for only Christmas, you don't have the opportunity to show your range.
00:43:59Most people know that I have a doctorate in arts and crafts.
00:44:02But what they don't know is that I did a study abroad in the Atacama region of northern Chile,
00:44:08which is the pumpkin capital of South America.
00:44:11Basically, I have forgotten more about these babies than most people will learn in a lifetime.
00:44:16I'm about to PH destroy the competition, if you know what I mean.
00:44:21Do you know what I mean?
00:44:22I think I do.
00:44:23How would you describe your neighbors?
00:44:25Intense.
00:44:26In a good way.
00:44:27Like Benedict from Much Ado About Nothing.
00:44:29Well, I'd say a little more like Catherine from Taming It.
00:44:31True.
00:44:32She's more like Rosalyn.
00:44:33Well, no.
00:44:34I mean, I know you love Rosalyn.
00:44:35Might as well talk about Tartuffe.
00:44:36I'm excited to use the pointillism technique my mom taught me.
00:44:39I think it really captures the essence of the holiday without being too on the nose.
00:44:42I've gone for more of a cubist approach, using shapes to really represent the surreal nature of what Halloween represents.
00:44:49Look at those couple goals. Adorable.
00:44:51I can't even enjoy this right now.
00:44:52I'm far too upset.
00:44:53Honey, I want you to try to stay calm.
00:44:55Look at the wise.
00:44:56Look at the wise.
00:44:57That's something you only say in your extreme duress.
00:45:00Deep breaths.
00:45:01Ty, for this one, I'd love to get a nice in-camera zoom.
00:45:04As you can see, not everyone dressed up for the painting contest.
00:45:08I guess some of us just care more.
00:45:13Now, Ty, go wide. Go wide.
00:45:18Paint with us.
00:45:21Fun fact, the first jack-o'-lanterns were made from turnips.
00:45:25Or large potatoes.
00:45:26It stemmed from the Celtic Samhain festival in Ireland.
00:45:30Which some people pronounce Samhain.
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:33They were believed to ward off evil spirits lurking about.
00:45:37But today, there's a much more jocular meaning to it, and dare I say, romantic.
00:45:44Oh, romantic in what way?
00:45:46Take our pumpkins, for example.
00:45:48Oh, Romeo and Juliet.
00:45:50Correct.
00:45:51We are nearing noontide, so the lighting is not correct for this.
00:45:55But could you imagine what this street would look like at night?
00:46:01And with these pumpkins carved and lit, as they should have been done, come eventide, these star-crossed lovers will surely light up the autumnal sky.
00:46:14Oh dear.
00:46:15Edgar James Broadhead, step away from my mama.
00:46:20I most certainly will not.
00:46:25Jared, sweetie, you know what? Let's just take a minute and talk about this.
00:46:29That's a great idea, Belinda.
00:46:30You know what? Why don't we turn off the cameras for a second and we can discuss this.
00:46:33How long has this been going on?
00:46:36Well, I can't speak for the lady, but as for me, two Christmases ago, the night you first took the throne in Santa's village.
00:46:42Betrayed, and in my own kingdom, I will not allow you to defame the Farnsworth's name with your unwelcomed advances.
00:46:51They are more than welcome, thank you very much.
00:46:55Is that true?
00:46:56Some true love.
00:46:57True love towards me, true love, more absolute than absolute zero?
00:47:02There you have it folks, true love right here on live TV.
00:47:11Ugh!
00:47:13and just like that hoa president jared barnsworth smashes a jack-o-lantern of love begging the
00:47:29question should this neighborhood actually be called ever mean lane that's enough ashland
00:47:36back to you ted back to you ted as a childhood resident of the lane i know from experience how
00:47:46firm of a grip the homeowners association has on its residents the intensity is simply too much for
00:47:53some including my parents when asked hoa president jared barnsworth refused to make a statement but
00:48:00his actions spoke much more than words many utahns would dream of living on evergreen lane but today
00:48:09felt more like a nightmare on elm street oh come on that's just yellow journalism with a reputation
00:48:15like that i have a feeling the surrounding communities will be frightened away from the
00:48:19rest of the activities this halloween turn it off i'm ashlyn ashworth and this is
00:48:24thank you for letting us use your house as a neutral holding zone while the deliberation occurs
00:48:30so sorry you had to see that i thought it was kind of exciting actually ned broadhead is dating my
00:48:35mother do you understand the implications behind that type of betrayal and you expect me to be
00:48:39concerned with anything else right now i mean i don't know left from right up from down i don't
00:48:43know diagonals right now i mean the man who lived next door to me my best man and the woman that gave
00:48:49birth to me she gave birth to me and i don't know what's happening right now i'm so confused let's just
00:48:55put a hold on the existential crisis until we hear what it is you have to do to make this right and i just
00:48:58hope they don't strip you of your presidential powers they can do that it's in the hands of the
00:49:03triumvirate of truth is that from star wars oh don't let the name fool you it's just mary louise
00:49:08pam and bob they meet at swigalicious and sugar house don't belittle the system these are time
00:49:12proven protocols emergency measures to bring balance to the bylaws star wars who can forget the great
00:49:18hayfield mcavoy debate of 91 when a power grid dispute almost cancelled christmas but lo

00:49:40the new neighbors honey do you think you'll ever forgive me it's not my forgiveness you need right now
00:49:47the triumvirate of truth has reached a decision do what must be done
00:50:09jared farnsworth you have been charged with destruction of personal property and projecting
00:50:17a pumpkin in a pedestrian perimeter not only did this impact the cleanliness of our curbs but it
00:50:22brought negative news coverage to the neighborhood which in turn plummeted the projected property values
00:50:27by approximately three percent hold my soda we know ned to be neurotic and now is known to be
00:50:36necking with your next of kin however we have reviewed the reasoning for your revolt and although we
00:50:43find the target of your treason to be tyrannical it cannot be tolerated in order to be forgiven you must
00:50:50fulfill the following i don't read cursive very well i'm sorry bob i don't know hieroglyphics
00:50:57i'll paraphrase your powers will be temporarily suspended and given to emily until you make things
00:51:06right emotions are running really high right now and we think you need to sit down with ned and talk
00:51:12it over man to man you ruined it bob you took away all of my alliteration and flair i got you girl
00:51:17basically you better buy the old buck a beer i accept the triumvirate's decision
00:51:23i i'm sorry i hold on look i i'm all for you making good with ned i mean you can go out on your
00:51:31mandate you can bro it up all you want but as your interim president i have a mandate of my own
00:51:37anything before you go out with your bro i think belinda deserves a one-on-one conversation of her own
00:51:43don't you i concur madam president thank you i'm so embarrassed we had so much soda i i can't believe
00:51:51that we never thought of her i blame the firm psychological grip of a patriarchy my bad it's
00:51:56okay i've got my traveling quill all right i'll just add this to the bottom of the parchment okay men
00:52:03do not tell book club about this
00:52:22pink ring oh yes thank you you're delicious you know you didn't have to spring for the queen victoria

00:52:55i sure wasn't acting like one neither did i i could have told you i should have told you when i first
00:53:02started catching feelings but it took me a while to realize what was happening
00:53:09so are are you a man like
00:53:17i don't know how to define it exactly according to mary louise the kids would say we're talking talking
00:53:24what does that mean first of all how does an 80 year old woman know what the lingo is
00:53:33mom the real question is are are you happy i find myself smiling every day that ned is a real
00:53:41rizzler rizzler love that for you i think your father's been gone for so long that i
00:53:48i kind of forgot what it felt like to be seen in that way and i never expected to feel that way
00:53:55about ned but something about him has changed and i love the way his eyes light up when he sees me or
00:54:03when he listens to me talk and i know he's one tall glass of some self-distilled spirit but he gets me
00:54:11and oh when he kisses me oh you can stop there i get the picture oh boy i think it just caught me
00:54:20by surprise you know i ned and i haven't always gotten along and he's the strangest man i've ever met
00:54:30but you know i love the guy i know you do and honestly it's still early with us i don't know what's
00:54:36going to happen but it means so much to me to know that i have your support absolutely i love you

00:58:34it was me who embarrassed myself on regional tv no honey i'm not talking about pumpkin gate
00:58:39something she said on the broadcast like maybe her family felt like they were pushed out of the
00:58:48neighborhood i mean i know i can't change anything but i i just would really love to extend a peace
00:58:55offering you know i mean we're adults we shouldn't be shouldn't have this like weirdness from our
00:59:01childhood between us well that's the way you feel i think you should definitely reach out

00:59:21that is the best definition of marriage i've ever heard
00:59:32hey thanks so much for agreeing to meet me oh of course i'm sorry i don't have more time i have just
00:59:36been so busy with the tapings and keeping up with my followers i've recorded seven cameos this week
00:59:42oh my goodness i'm gonna make it quick i um don't worry about michaela she has heard it all she is a
00:59:47bolt i just wanted to apologize for when we were younger i was the one that scared you remember i know
00:59:55but what i really mean is after that i know the neighbors went into overdrive trying to protect me
00:59:59after my grandmother passed and after the whole scarecrow thing and i just really hope that's not the
01:00:04reason your family decided to move away and after you moved i i thought you were angry at me i really
01:00:10did i thought you were mad and i should have talked to you about it right then and there and instead
01:00:13i put up this wall and it wasn't because i didn't like you it was actually quite the opposite come on
01:00:19emily you nicknamed me schlin shady and that was totally unfair i mean how were you supposed to know
01:00:22that i was going to ask buzz okie to sadie's everyone wanted to ask buzz ah blue-eyed buzz the truth is
01:00:28you were so cool and popular and i and i just loved what you did with the school announcements you never told me that
01:00:32well i should have they were clever and funny and everyone loved them and i mean look look where
01:00:36you are now secretly i kind of always wanted to volunteer to write the copy for the teleprompter
01:00:41why didn't you say anything i just never had the courage and i was embarrassed about how things
01:00:46ended between us when you moved i just want to say i'm sorry that i let my own insecurities come
01:00:52between what could have been a really cool friendship we need ashlyn and studio c asap oh i'm so sorry i have
01:00:59to run it's okay talk later yeah of course go go go thank you great oh uh here's a headshot for free
01:01:07oh thank you i'll see you soon that went well i can't believe you confronted the great and powerful
01:01:15ashlyn been bugging me for years it felt so good to get it off my chest i mean she didn't give me much
01:01:20of a reaction but that's okay it was worth it i gotta say i'm proud of you on so many levels oh thank you
01:01:25also i think you're really onto something this year those spider doodles look amazing they taste
01:01:29great too i had three of them when mom wasn't looking Nicole Marie you're gonna make yourself sick

01:01:45she is a shoe-in to win the contest no secret there i don't know i'm pretty much of a cookie expert
01:01:50at this point i think you have a chance thanks i mean we'll see i just do feel like the creative
01:01:56juices have been flowing you know since i started writing again i don't know maybe some of that
01:02:00energy has been absorbed into the baking as well i was gonna say there's something different about
01:02:04you i thought it was the honeymoon glow but got a little spark in you i didn't realize how much i
01:02:08miss writing you know like i've forgotten about the joy it brings me i think i thought copywriting
01:02:13was enough but maybe it's not well now you know at least you're back to doing something you love
01:02:18yeah exactly and even if it doesn't turn into something i do for money at least i know it's
01:02:22important to me it's exactly how i feel about the real housewives of salt lake city oh i wish they'd
01:02:25bring monica back right she's the best part i was more intrigued by jen's storyline i said i was a
01:02:32good mom not a perfect mom i hope it's okay that we're a little late i'll get set up thanks oh thank
01:02:37you so much for hosting belinda was a little preoccupied this week if you know what i mean are you kidding
01:02:42this is our idea of a housewarming party more like heartwarming seriously we have lived in a lot
01:02:49of places and never really felt like we fit in until now oh well i think if we looked into the
01:02:54cauldron we would see a lifetime of friendship ahead for us look at our little angel all caught
01:03:03up in festive spirit true i've never seen her so happy but our angel still can't compete with our
01:03:09devil crude cake albert you little demon you come on come on just let me have just a little taste
01:03:16bob not yeti oh i have never been so in love well if you're so in love go get me a drink
01:03:24i can't believe you would take palesthesia over echolocation i mean if you lost your prefrontal
01:03:30cortex see there you go again trying to confuse me with your technical jargon i'm just saying money
01:03:33aside i would rather be peter parker than bruce wayne you are so wrong that fog oh luna wow the detail
01:03:44of your piping is amazing i applaud your efforts i i really do and this is your first cookie competition
01:03:53is it yep and i guess we'll have to see if a win is to be or not to be oh never heard that one before
01:04:00either way we're really hoping we can at least turn a few heads oh well how very optimistic of you
01:04:06but alas poor yorick once the judges take a bite of my chocolate chip chupacabras
01:04:12you're going to be heading home with a participation ribbon pinned on your festive little sweater

01:04:54outside of this year's amazing entries there has been no home cooking in the selection process unlike
01:05:01christmas rules there is only one winner today no second or third place that's right only room for

01:06:44my identity but as i look around and see all of your faces i realize that i've already won
01:06:52because i live on evergreen lane
01:06:55there's no place like home
01:06:59uh you guys i'm so sorry to interrupt this very sweet moment then don't
01:07:03but i have news it looks like channel six wants to come out and live stream the carnival spooky alley
01:07:08and all looks like we better haul out the halloween
01:07:12okay everyone everyone thank you thank you so much for coming on such short notice
01:07:25an opportunity has presented itself and i just had to share and bring it to a vote i got a text from
01:07:31ash and ashworth at channel six and it looks like they want to come back to the lane what about that
01:07:37smear piece she did about us it wasn't exactly a smear jared did go full billy corgan on those
01:07:43pumpkins he did i'm taking full responsibility for my actions apparently it was great for ratings for
01:07:48the network and they want to come back and cover the carnival and the spooky alley i think this could
01:07:52take our fundraiser to the next level i think we should do it guys they lived here like five minutes
01:07:56i'm just saying you know you've been fundraising you know it's for the kids but you know it still
01:08:00seems really fishy to me i smell a conspiracy can't risk any more bad press guys guys guys come on
01:08:07it's time to help a prez out listen when i had to relinquish my powers to my better half i realized
01:08:13something i realized that serving this community it's a privilege i let my anger get the best of me
01:08:21and i was a very poor example of how our leader should be luckily you guys cared about me enough
01:08:25to give me a second chance now it's our chance to come together as a community and a neighborhood
01:08:32and celebrate in front of the entire state of utah and a few select counties in idaho wyoming and
01:08:37nevada depending on local tv markets yes ned not important but sure yeah the point is it's time
01:08:46we back up our humble president and we show everyone what halloween means to us what do you
01:08:51say are you in yeah ever scream on three one two three hey did you ever bob for apples oh you better
01:09:05have been oh well we're on here we go that way they call it bobbing for apples leave them alone
01:09:18it'll keep them busy till now i'm smart inflatables are not scary and if they get unplugged did you
01:09:25i mean the illusion is ruined the idea is for the kids have a good time not send them home with night
01:09:30terrors look at this it's horrifying okay we're gonna mix her and also the animatronic chucky doll
01:09:36but i'm keeping the homemade babadoop oh keep the babadoop guys i'm a little worried about the
01:09:40costume contest we don't have any signups i mean my parents are given jared said he's preparing
01:09:44something other than that it is slow and i'm just worried we won't have a lot of foot traffic you know
01:09:48for the spooky alley i just hope the rumors aren't true what rumors oh i i don't like to gossip says a
01:09:53woman who invented the avril levine conspiracy oh i have my reasons and quite compelling evidence i might add
01:10:00thank you i don't care about that belinda tell me what you heard please spill it honey you gotta
01:10:05go listen i don't know what they've been talking about i'm scared we've been gone for months i don't
01:10:08care if you're scared grab a couple cans all right you know mary louise's hairdresser britney
01:10:12bateman girl can frost the top and that's no rumor apparently her sister-in-law heidi birch
01:10:17works out at train insane when none other than ashlyn ashworth she said they're only covering
01:10:23the spooky alley for clickbait what oh i don't understand she's hoping it's going to be a train wreck
01:10:29like the pumpkin contest what do you got i got nothing and after what she posted about pamela
01:10:34from the beastly bake-off how do you suppose she heard about that do you reckon i've kept in touch
01:10:39with her mother i didn't know the phone call was on the record yeah there was always something strange
01:10:44about ashlyn didn't you tell me that when you were in high school they called her shlin shady yes
01:10:49technically but that was kind of my fault i don't think she has an ulterior motive oh really you don't
01:10:54think she does oh i hope so but you know after that first news piece went viral doesn't look like
01:10:59the rest of the neighborhood is so confident rumor or not we can't let this thing fail it's
01:11:03for charity now and we're going to prove everyone wrong yes you know marvin and i are all in thank
01:11:08you i don't doubt it and you can put bob and i down too yeah we've been cooking up something that's
01:11:12uh what the fire really what is that you can put down d j frankenstein but another word mary louise
01:11:22i do not want any spoilers that's exactly what jared said he's not doing something with you no he
01:11:27insisted on doing something solo but what about you guys ned asked me to join up with him really
01:11:31where are you going us i'd tell you but he made me sign an airtight non-disclosure agreement i will say
01:11:37the stakes are very high with this one what does airtight mean to you exactly and what about you
01:11:43pamela don't ask you know that helen and i are ride or die i wasn't asking to tag along i have
01:11:49something very special up my sleeve anyway well i hope that it's spooky because we've got something that's
01:11:53going to push that nosferatu meter to a high five ah yeah touchdown bob now empty those tubs
01:12:04because they're contaminated you're a lucky lady mary louise i don't know why that keeps happening to you
01:12:14graham you trying to tell me something i don't know what the stress levels are like on the other side there but
01:12:21let me tell you they're getting pretty high around here i'm just trying to balance it all you know
01:12:28jared and the hoa and my work and all the activities and i really just want to make you proud
01:12:36she is bro you sure about that
01:12:43yeah
01:12:44the whole neighborhood is especially me i'm proud of you too
01:12:53even after my near impeachment okay so it wasn't exactly your brightest moment but it did show me
01:12:59how much you care about your mom and i love that about you i love everything about you
01:13:04i gotta tell you there was this moment
01:13:14at the bake-off when they announced my name is the winner it was the first time i had heard someone
01:13:19else say it out loud emily farnsworth i just had this surge of joy and love and it just
01:13:28filled my heart from bottom to top that is of course until it was totally ruined when pamela face
01:13:34planted into the ground but for a moment it was perfect
01:13:41i'm so proud to be married to you thank you for saying that
01:13:47i needed to hear that i thought i was really good at being your boyfriend your fiancee
01:13:54like i'm dropping the ball a little as your husband oh honey come on marriage this is new
01:14:01for both of us i mean there's no shame in needing practice yeah i think if we're willing
01:14:06to be honest about what's going on inside the good the bad the ugly i think we'll be just fine
01:14:15yeah i think so too i am a little worried about all these rumors that are going around
01:14:20about ashlyn ashworth i i just i i don't even know what to believe anymore
01:14:24even if they are true so what this entire neighborhood is pulling together and if
01:14:28she thinks that we're gonna fall apart on live tv she's dead wrong you're absolutely right this
01:14:34neighborhood is so special and if people don't get it that's on them

01:19:10to jared and all of us really that you were willing to give us a second chance please don't mention it
01:19:16and i want to give you something it's it's not totally finished the dummy but in the spirit of
01:19:22ever scream lane it's about a little scarecrow who loves the tricks of halloween and a witch who loves
01:19:26the treats and well they figure out that they can both have a happy halloween it's so cute oh look it's us
01:19:35who did this oh i did it yeah i i did it i you know this whole season has been full of ups and downs
01:19:43but it's really inspired me to get back to doing what i love and you were a huge part of that i don't
01:19:48understand you've just always known what you wanted and you've gone for it and i truly admired that and
01:19:54i may have gotten a little sidetracked but i realized i gotta get back to doing what i love
01:19:59which is writing books well thank you for this and thank you for what you said when you visited
01:20:06the studio it really helped me put everything into perspective i could have been a lot nicer to you as

01:20:21heads up you might want to send some more volunteers to the ticket booth oh really well i've been sharing
01:20:26the fun of my stories and the word is really spreading you're about to have a lot more
01:20:30visitors headed your way oh thank you we're ready for them ladies and gentlemen it's time for our
01:20:36special guest nickelback on elm street i love nickelback give it up for the lead singer chatty krueger
01:20:56i realized when i was picking out this chatty krueger outfit that was the old jared thinking now i'm
01:21:05thinking as your husband what i really wanted was something for for us that's what this is what is

01:21:31me with a couple's costume after all i like this so much i'm not gonna take it off i don't think i
01:21:36could take these off if i wanted to pamela sewed my shirt into my pants thanks again for making the
01:21:41fundraiser happen guys they are still counting donations but we have already earned double what
01:21:46we did last we should get some mead by the way a courier dropped this off today you were busy with your
01:21:53tape measure so i told him i would give it to you okay thanks what's this it's velvet

01:22:16there you go okay but tonight's not about santa we may only have a few hours left to celebrate
01:22:26before christmas takes over so what do you say we give halloween all we got happy halloween
01:22:33and thus began a new chapter in the story of evergreen lane we became the annual go-to place
01:22:47for trick-or-treating and the spooky alley fundraiser was a huge success in order to keep the peace we
01:22:54let pamela and helen win the costume contest the excitement of my new children's book along with
01:22:59jared's loving support gave me the confidence to quit my job and pursue writing full-time
01:23:05i know what gram gram was trying to tell me the true spirit of halloween is about remembering the
01:23:11ones you love and having fun and creating memories with those that are still here if you can remember
01:23:17that and pass the tradition on to the next generation that spirit will never truly die
01:23:47so
