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.
00:01:08You look spectacular.
00:01:11You really do.
00:01:13Can you believe the Johnsons won't be here?
00:01:15Hey, now.
00:01:16No 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 was a groom once.
00:01:38It's okay.
00:01:38It's okay.
00:01:39I'm far too nervous to eat.
00:01:40Maybe 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.
00:01:52Well, 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.
00:02:02Cheers.
00:02:03Cheers.
00:02:04Sweetheart, 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!
00:02:34Hey.
00:02:35Hey.
00:02:36Hey.
00:02:37Dearly beloved, we are gathered today to celebrate the union of these two beautiful souls.
00:02:55Emily, the moment I fell in love with you was captured on a Polaroid picture when we were
00:03:00seven years old on your front porch, and from that day on I've been looking forward to this
00:03:04day.
00:03:05As I stand in front of you today, although my knees are shaking a bit like that Polaroid
00:03:09picture, I've watched you develop into this beautiful, smart, kind woman that I could
00:03:20spend the rest of my life with.
00:03:23And I promise you I will do my best to paint a perfect picture of love and devotion together,
00:03:34forever.
00:03:36Jared, I always knew there was something very special about you.
00:03:41And when we reconnected, everyone reminded me of what an amazing architect you are.
00:03:50And 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.
00:04:01And there is no one I would rather make plans to build the rest of my life with than you.
00:04:08Emily 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.
00:04:22I do.
00:04:23Then, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife, and you may now kiss the bride.
00:04:29You may be wondering why we didn't do a Christmas wedding.
00:04:56We considered it.
00:04:57But in memory of Jared's late father, we chose to do it on his parents' anniversary.
00:05:01And even though we had a fun-filled honeymoon planned, we were both excited to get back home
00:05:06and get into the spirit of the upcoming holidays.
00:05:09The only problem was, this year, we had no idea what kind of spirit it would bring.
00:05:15Ghosts and ghouls.
00:05:36Forget that Green ».
00:05:37What in the Sam?
00:05:38Silver squad to green team.

00:08:43mantra we've been working on not my weeds not my garden emily will you hold the mantle of the
00:08:49presidency this entire neighborhood is my garden now if you will you brought the clipboard on the
00:08:58honeymoon you rang uh yes i i did ring uh i wanted to introduce myself and ask you a few questions
00:09:11about your understanding of the hoa guidelines honey i don't think that's an actual person i think that's
00:09:15a recording i think you're probably right sorry seriously did you guys ring hi hi i am jared
00:09:28farnsworth hoa president of this lovely neighborhood this is my first counselor and head of activities
00:09:32committee emily melrose farnsworth emily farnsworth it's my newest title jared and i got married last
00:09:38month congratulations we've heard tale of the presidential power couple i had a premonition
00:09:42we would be graced by your presence won't you come inside that would be amazing it would it would
00:09:47except that my wife and i we just got back from our honeymoon and we're very very very tired that's
00:09:52nothing a little jack-o-lantern java won't fix and marvin makes them extra strong yes i do that sounds
00:09:57amazing sure it is except that we haven't been deloused yet deloused yes but in the meantime per your
00:10:03display as detailed as it is we are going to have to ask you to you know pair it back pair it back the
00:10:10lights and the pumpkins can stay great touch actually but your lawn display has to go back
00:10:15into the crib as it were i don't understand our realtor told us this was the most festive neighborhood
00:10:25in all of the state of utah and we are yes at christmas we are ever green lane not ever screen
00:10:31lane whatever scream lane i love that we should totally call it that from god yes no don't do that
00:10:36that was just a very clever play on words for me to emphasize my point which is what exactly per hoa
00:10:43guidelines we um it it says that section 12 i'm pretty sure it says you have too much halloween
00:10:52well that's not what albert told us and it was confirmed by game so you've met my parents they
00:10:57were the first to welcome us to the neighborhood so nice of you both to let them stay with you for the
00:11:02rest of hurricane season especially right after the wedding must be scoring some serious son-in-law
00:11:08points fair well i better be you know what why don't you just excuse us we're gonna get settled and
00:11:13then we can discuss this whole in-laws and bylaws situations that sound okay fair is foul and foul is
00:11:18fair just let us know will do let's go turn around so great to meet you da da stay near it's a strange couple
00:11:29i really hope you're not mad at me i'm definitely not mad emily i'm just a little surprised is all
00:11:39why didn't you tell me you invited them so sorry my mom asked in the middle of the wedding craziness
00:11:43and i just forgot i truly am sorry but they're in the guest loft above the garage you're never gonna
00:11:49see them don't apologize i love your parents love hosting your parents it's just you know like you
00:11:54said it's just me and you now so i just want to be on the same page on this stuff that's all absolutely
00:11:59i got your back and i've got yours
00:12:04now let's take care of this decoration situation all right jared what seems to be the problem oh i
00:12:11don't know halbert maybe the fact that we got back from the wedding of our dreams only returned to a
00:12:15nightmare it's just a few lawn decorations that's how it starts and this you know the younger generation
00:12:20they're sneaking out of their bedrooms searching for the great pumpkin let's not get crazy now i'm not
00:12:27it's just i'm hoping we are being sensitive to those who may not feel comfortable celebrating this
00:12:33time of year we have bylaws put in place like this for a reason right but that's not entirely true
00:12:39what do you mean it's not true the motion to de-escalate the other holidays was proposed and hotly
00:12:44debated but in the end was never voted on and therefore never passed what other lies have i
00:12:52been told nobody lied to you jared the council just decided after what happened maybe a vote wasn't
00:12:59necessary everyone agreed to honor the de-escalation of halloween out of respect but technically there's no
00:13:07official bylaw what do you mean after what happened oh honey have you forgotten
00:13:11we did all of this for you for me maybe she blocked it out it was the last big halloween we celebrated on the lane
00:13:24you mean the last year with grandma
00:13:32excuse me i'll be in the basement the bit
00:13:41i just couldn't figure out exactly where to put you
00:14:11your 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 i'm sorry i just i know how you feel about basements and uh
00:14:30well you've been down here for wow 27 minutes and counting it's gotta be a record for me
00:14:35honestly it's not that bad
00:14:41what was that burnis yeah i know i still hate it down here
00:14:50you okay yeah i'll be fine oh
00:14:54i think i've just been so focused on the wedding and our future that i kind of forgot about the past
00:15:05she was a great woman yeah i can still hear her voice
00:15:10remember what she always used to say to us
00:15:12it's halloween sweetie what could you possibly be upset about ashlyn ashworth and her friends just
00:15:25like scarecrows in her yard and they totally jumped out and scared us you got yard yelp did you yep don't
00:15:31let them get to you they were just trying to have fun but i ran so fast i spilled my candy on
00:15:37the way back that's okay emily i'll share mine jared that won't be necessary i'll take you
00:15:43two out on the golf cart awesome i heard mary louise and bob are giving out full-sized candy bars
00:15:50we gotta get there before they run out all in good time my pretties all in good time
00:15:58before we go why don't you tell jared what i always say about halloween
00:16:04never go to ned's house he only gives out freeze-dried elk liver true what else do i say about
00:16:10halloween it started as a day to remember those who passed away even though we get to dress up and get
00:16:16candy from our friends and family we should also remember our friends and family members that
00:16:22aren't with us anymore and not only should we remember them but they should be celebrated but
00:16:28why do we dress up because it's tradition and there's no better way to connect with your friends
00:16:33and neighbors than through age-old traditions now what do you say we get back to my favorite one of all
00:16:39trick-or-treating let's do it all right kids mount up happy halloween we got so much candy that year
00:16:48buckets full i had no idea that'd be the last time she took us trick-or-treating
00:16:56she was gone just two weeks later that's when the neighborhood decided to take a step back she was the
00:17:00center of the celebration with her creativity and the costumes and the decorations she always inspired
00:17:06everybody halloween was never the same without her of course i was heartbroken when she passed but
00:17:11i had no idea that's why everyone else pulled back from celebrating and i never asked for that
00:17:16and certainly not something gram gram would have wanted oh you're right but she said it herself
00:17:21halloween is for remembering your loved ones and having a whole lot of fun
00:17:26it's time we bring halloween back evergreen style are you sure about this no i'm not sure about this i'm
00:17:32actually scared hot to death about this you know how i am i don't like scary movies i don't even like movies that
00:17:36people say aren't scary but definitely are tell me about it i'm trying to get you to finish the
00:17:40never-ending story for forever yeah that's never gonna happen because i hate quicksand as much as
00:17:43i hate scary basements noted but it's time for you to wake up and face the creepy organ music for the
00:17:49neighborhood and for grandma and for you now let's get you out of here first no kissing in the creepy
00:18:00basement fair enough speed it up buttercup we got work to do looking good grandma i figured i can call

00:19:07allowed apparently i'm still trespassing no boys allowed even jawid farnsworth spelling was atrocious
00:19:14in your defense that is the way i used to pronounce it no jared farnsworth is very much
00:19:19allowed up here he's not a boy he's a man my man all right we have to brainstorm how we are going to
00:19:26make this the best halloween in years we could start by selling tickets to this creepy attic come on
00:19:31it's not that creepy i will not be ashamed by my choice in music and how do you explain the creepy
00:19:38typewriter from the shiny that was my grandma's she taught me to type on that one yeah and that was
00:19:42the desk where i would sit and write all my stories you know maybe this is a message from her
00:19:47to get you to start writing again i wish she'd sent that message to my former agent or publisher or
00:19:53two i 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 this was your
00:20:06dream yeah 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 we have an hoa meeting to plan we 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
00:20:24a venue on it thank you oh jared
00:20:39thanks for the inspiration graham we'll make you proud
00:20:53all right evergreen ladies this may come as a very big surprise but in honor of my sweet grandma
00:20:58melrose i want to help bring back halloween in a big way so let's get a good old-fashioned brainstorm
00:21:04going on the thread traditions old and new all ideas welcome fire him off and his gram gram would
00:21:09say mount up come on honey let's go ned's hosting and you know he needs a good 36 hour advance notice
00:21:18to demust the place coming sweetheart i thought we agreed after the last time that we weren't going to
00:21:27hold the hoa meetings at ned's anymore i mean he served expired military rations i think we should
00:21:33have a potluck well then we're going to need a lot of luck because susie's funeral potatoes almost
00:21:37killed me i'm impressed you really upped your game here what is the queen coming nothing says royalty
00:21:43like charcuterie i've got the donuts hips on the creepy crawler ned don't push me on the pastries you
00:21:50can't have a creepy crawler because they don't exist wait there are only crullers no donuts i know how
00:21:57popular they are so i made them all crullers i'm sorry what did you say colors i i said crullers
00:22:03that's what i thought thank you belinda at least you won't embarrass yourself leg wrestling bob for
00:22:08one of them i would have won if he let me wear my orthotic sneakers it was barefoot or bust in my day
00:22:14that's because they hadn't invented shoes yet so what's the tea fam are the new neighbors going to show
00:22:22up today if they do i'm sure it'll be in a puff of smoke or on broom back i swear those two are
00:22:28witches have you ever heard that luna speak every word she says sounds like she's casting a spell so
00:22:34spooky yeah they've been invited as per jared in the prima conventus clause of 94. i've heard that
00:22:41marvin is a mortgage banker by day and moonlights as an undertaker just for kicks i don't know what
00:22:48they called them in the 19th century but today we call them morticians and where did you hear that
00:22:54from anyway i'll give you a hint he wears a singlet for underwear and he believes that pro wrestling
00:23:01is real if a masked man gave you the tombstone pile driver at a waffle house outside of galveston i
00:23:07assure you you would know just how real it is i can see that your ongoing litigation with the
00:23:13undertaker hasn't been resolved that doesn't mean that marvin works in a mortuary for fun
00:23:19think about it the initials embalmer embalmer what kind of a cruel joke were his parents playing
00:23:26worst part is i'm embalmer the fifth so that's five generations of being bullied in middle school
00:23:32but no i am not a mortician for fun or professionally just want to clear that up from the jump sorry didn't
00:23:37mean to be rude not offended in the least round about the cauldron go in the poison entrails throw
00:23:44not the poison minute and while we're at it my wife is not a witch exactly what a witch would say
00:23:52dibs on the ruby slippers round about the cauldron go in the poison entrails throw yes
00:24:00oh i'm sorry you guys must think i'm crazy i just got cast in mcbeth at the castle theater
00:24:07she's gonna be witch number one yeah that's sort of a dream role for me your dream role is
00:24:12witch number one yeah because witch number two was already cast marvin and i are english professors
00:24:17at uvu and total shakespeare buffs what light through yonder window breaks tis our new neighbors

00:24:40shakespeare was the father of the modern horror genre thou speaketh truth
00:24:44aye aye
00:24:46all right at last i hate to break up this fun little drama camp we've got going on here but this

00:26:38ever scream lane we 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 inspired by the boldness of the balmers
00:26:54each household will be required to create a halloween lawn display to bring the spirit of this holiday
00:27:00to life you have one week to get your displays together or there will be consequences i mean it'll
00:27:07be like you know a citation or community service hours but do not tempt me for i have fresh citation pads
00:27:14there will be daily activities leading up to halloween such as a pumpkin painting contest painting
00:27:20why don't we just carve those puppies because ned pumpkin guts are gross they're stringy they're
00:27:25slimy no but it's very visceral for me okay please ned we don't have time for your sensory obsession

00:28:26with state and federal laws tricky but not impossible in light of all this we have something
00:28:31we'd like to propose that is if we can't invoke addendum three of the party protocol well invoke
00:28:36away please i know you already have the food drive planned but every year we do a big spooky alley in
00:28:42our front yard we go all out to raise money for the children's hospital as a young girl i was treated
00:28:48there and they saved my life so we try to do everything we can to give back that's amazing i mean
00:28:54dealt with the charity i i love it i really wait wait wait wait wait wait how spooky are we talking
00:29:01say like a five or a six on the nosferatu meter but we hit a 7.5 once no no seven five but that
00:29:09was close to y2k so all sorts of things were happening that won't happen again
00:29:18i'm not opposed to it as long as we remember this is for the kids so we have to keep the scare factor
00:29:23to a fiber below yeah of course should we just take a vote yeah i think we have to i mean that's
00:29:28part of the yeah then that settles it i'll pass out some ballots and we can decide if this
00:29:33neighborhood is ready to come together to face our biggest fears this halloween i've already faced my
00:29:38greatest fear a hot yoga class taught by ned it's free on thursdays oh it might be free but you will
00:29:45pay dearly trust me now take me off your mail chimp
00:29:55halloween is back baby okay pumpkin spiced your latte i'm just so excited the vote was unanimous
00:30:02everyone loved my halloween plans and then our new neighbors had this amazing idea to do this outdoor
00:30:07spooky alley and it's gonna raise money for the children's hospital first lady of ever scream lane
00:30:11you're really taking charge carving up the hoa handbook how's jared doing with all this at first
00:30:17it was really hard for him to transition his mind to a new holiday kind of like he's cheating on
00:30:21christmas right but now that he's in it he's doubling down it's like kevin in k-pop this is new
00:30:26i played one song for him one time he totally made fun of me the next day it was all he was listening to
00:30:31he's basically made it his whole personality same thing with jared he's been driving all the way to
00:30:34provo to go to this tailor-made costume store almost every day you are in it we are but it is just a lot to
00:30:40balance with work i feel like i'm kind of just going through the motions i mean i'm doing a good
00:30:45job but it's just it's not fulfilling welcome to most of america i think it's just you know the
00:30:49wedding and the honeymoon it was so perfect i just want to relive it well the honeymoon phase is great
00:30:54but the real joy of marriage is the journey that lies ahead i love that speaking of i have to get that
00:31:02little journey to piano lessons hey 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 oh i didn't even realize jared
00:31:12had brought that box down from the attic no i only wrote the seven seven 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
00:31:24make sense to continue i really like the different aliens zolt is so funny really what was your favorite
00:31:29part probably when the hover wagon was broken and zolt was the only one who could fix it because of the
00:31:35combo wrench his dad gave him wow he really did read it yep let me know if you write any more thanks nicole i will
00:31:46oh cute costume you look adorable you shall not pass
00:32:09lie you fools boo what are you what are you doing here i've been trying to ask you the same question
00:32:15but someone i know doesn't answer their phone for the last two hours i'm sorry this store's a bit
00:32:19of a dead zone didn't you see the sign jared that says undead zone it's just a clever sign to sell
00:32:26a zombie paraphernalia i love this store clearly you've been coming here every day since we jumped
00:32:30on this haunted hayride i just want to feel inspired you know we have a we have a costume contest coming
00:32:35up no no we're doing phantom of the opera we're singing the duet yeah um i wanted to talk to you about
00:32:40that jared you know i don't do harmony what if i did the contest alone oh okay is that fine yeah i
00:32:53mean i i don't know what to say but honest reaction go it's fine of course it's fine yeah we have been
00:33:00doing a lot of stuff together lately and maybe maybe we should do some things on our own okay so you're not
00:33:07annoyed i'm only annoyed that now i have to figure out what i'm doing whatever it is i'm sure it's
00:33:10going to be epic speaking of epic we should discuss lawn display asap now what are you thinking evil
00:33:17battling robots zombie apocalypse no no this is what i wanted to tell you i think i have found the perfect
00:33:24thing i'm confused i thought we were working on the lawn display look around what does this remind you of
00:33:34mainly the fact that i missed lunch and i'm starving and i want to eat the entire store no think about
00:33:37it last halloween with grandma hansel and gretel the witch's gingerbread house what's more halloween
00:33:44than grim's fairy tale and it's the perfect way to honor grandma i'm gonna get to work on the blueprints
00:33:49immediately we don't have time for blueprints once we build the witch's house it'll be the perfect
00:33:53hiding spot for yard yelping jared yes no i didn't think you were into yard yelping i'm not i'm not
00:34:00but if i was i would be like the daniel day lewis of it you know i hate when people do that
00:34:09ashley nashford still haunts my dreams 20 years later i see her in that scarecrow makeup she's
00:34:15lurking about oh it's horrible horrible well then why would you vote to protect yard yelping on new
00:34:21hoa protocol because like it or not it is a tradition and traditions are important but that's why i added the
00:34:27regulation to reduce the scare factor that way every screen lane is a halloween destination for
00:34:31all young and old so impressive i just really want this to be next level and it's going to be
00:34:37everyone can see it thanks you know though speaking of ashlyn doesn't she host wake up utah on channel
00:34:44six yes her mom and mine stayed friends after they moved she mentions it every time she's on tv do you
00:34:51think she could put me in contact with her maybe they could do a story about what we're up to this
00:34:55year sure but aren't you guys like frenemies i mean we were but it was a long time ago and if it could
00:35:02help bring people to the carnival that would be great i mean our neighborhood isn't exactly known as
00:35:06a halloween destination so if we want to raise some serious money for children's hospital i do think
00:35:11it's worth a try i like where your head's at cheers where's your stomach at because i'm starving excuse me
00:35:16can we get a dozen patries to go and uh one is german chocolate cookies and uh oh threw in two honey
00:35:21boys excuse me could i see this please orange oh they clear two glares

00:37:52emily emily where are you i'm in the kitchen oh no no no no no no is everything okay no it's not
00:38:13okay we were in fact in a worst case scenario scenario did you get rejected from the santa academy what
00:38:18did you hear something no it's worse than that how is that even possible it's ned did he steal your
00:38:22devil sticks what no where are those by the way it's so odd maybe they'll show up so bad i don't
00:38:26even want to say it out loud okay is he going through like a flat earth phase again it's worse
00:38:30than that okay you're killing me small spit it out ned is dating my mom oh no
00:38:42i don't care what he says i refuse to call him dad you might be getting ahead of yourself here you
00:38:46don't know how serious it is yet whatever it was it definitely was not in the friend zone do they know
00:38:51that you saw them flirting no i'll never say a word because i want it erased from my memory every
00:38:56time i close my eyes i can just see the way they were looking at each other just focused and intense
00:39:02like there was no one else in the cul-de-sac actually sounds kind of sweet the man pours
00:39:06pickle brine in his shredded wheat there's nothing sweet about him
00:39:12i have to tell payla not to tell anyone she saw too is that bad that's not good is she gonna tell
00:39:16everyone i mean that tea's probably too hot for her not to spill we have to stop this i get that you're
00:39:20upset but you got to remember they're adults and ned is ned and maybe that's what your mom wants
00:39:24or maybe she's under a spell didn't you say that he studied hypnosis in uh in vienna jared you have
00:39:30to talk to her ask her how she's feeling she's obviously worried and that's why she's hiding it
00:39:35from you so tell her it's safe for her to talk to you about it at this point i don't know if it is
00:39:39great okay why don't you just take a breath and go work on the gingerbread house i'm sure there's some
00:39:43gumdrops that need to be gummed or some candy that needs to be caned
00:39:46what there's no candy canes at halloween jared just eat your pie for you i will needs more sprinkles
00:39:54that looks good when did you do this i've been wrapped up with all this net knot since i even
00:40:00noticed this what are you doing over here jess was over here with nicole the other day and

00:43:26get more coverage do your thing girl what was that i don't know i mean i get around her and i turn into
00:43:30plastic that is the least of my concerns right now i mean look that is at the table with my mom
00:43:35they're on a team relax relax relax it's ned and how do you feel about the halloween traditions coming
00:43:41back to life it's simply gorgeous did you see what i did there gourd gorgeous that is a good one did you
00:43:49just come up with that that's been ripening on the vine for years don't make me put you down for now
00:43:54bob when you're known for only christmas you don't have the opportunity to show your rage most people know
00:44:00that i have a doctorate in arts and crafts but what they don't know is that i did a study abroad in
00:44:06the atacama region of northern chile which is the pumpkin capital of south america basically i have
00:44:13forgotten more about these babies than most people will learn in a lifetime i'm about to ph destroy the
00:44:20competition if you know what i mean do you know what i mean i think i do how would you describe your
00:44:25neighbors intense but in a good way like benedict from much ado about nothing well i'd say a little
00:44:30more like catherine from taming up the trail she's more like rosalyn well no i mean i know you love
00:44:34rosalyn might as well talk about tartuffe i'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 i've gone for more of
00:44:44a cubist approach using shapes to really represent the surreal nature of what halloween represents look at
00:44:49those couple goals adorable i can't even enjoy this right now i'm far too upset honey i want you to
00:44:54try to stay calm look at the wise look at the wise that's something you only say in your extreme
00:45:00dress deep breaths tie for this one i'd love to get a nice in-camera zoom as you can see not everyone
00:45:07dressed up for the painting contest i guess some of us just care more now tie go wide go wide
00:45:15paint with us fun fact the first jack-o-lanterns were made from turnips or large potatoes it stemmed
00:45:28from the celtic samhain festival in ireland which some people pronounce sawane yeah they were believed
00:45:34to ward off evil spirits lurking about but today there's a much more jocular meaning to it and dare
00:45:42i say romantic oh romantic in what way take our pumpkins for example oh romeo and juliet correct
00:45:51we are nearing noontide so the lighting is not correct for this but could you imagine what this
00:45:59street would look like at night and with these pumpkins carved and lit as they should have been done
00:46:06come even tide these star-crossed lovers will surely light up the autumnal sky oh dear edgar james
00:46:17broadhead step away from my mama i most certainly will not jared sweetie you know what let's just take a
00:46:28minute and talk about this that's a great idea belinda you know why don't we turn off the cameras for a
00:46:32second and we can discuss how long has this been going on well i can't speak for the lady but as
00:46:38for me two christmases ago the night you first took the throne in santa's village betrayed and in
00:46:45my own kingdom i will not allow you to defame the farnsworth name with your unwelcomed advances they
00:46:52are more than welcome thank you very much is that true truer than true north more absolute than absolute zero
00:47:02there you have it folks true love right here on live tv
00:47:21and just like that hoa president jared barnesworth smashes a jack-o-lantern of love
00:47:29begging the question should this neighborhood actually be called ever mean lane that's enough
00:47:36ashland back 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 some
00:47:53including my parents when asked hoa president jared barnesworth refused to make a statement but his
00:48:00actions spoke much more than words many utahans 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 like
00:48:15that i have a feeling the surrounding communities will be frightened away from the rest of the activities
00:48:21this halloween turn it off i'm ashlyn ashworth and this is thank you for letting us use your house
00:48:27as a neutral holding zone while the deliberation occurs so sorry you had to see that i thought it
00:48:31was kind of exciting actually ned broadhead is dating my mother do you understand the implications
00:48:37behind that type of betrayal and you expect me to be concerned with anything else right now i mean i
00:48:41don't know left from right up from down i don't know diagonals right now i mean the man who lived next
00:48:45door to me my best man and the woman that gave birth to me she gave birth to me and i don't know
00:48:51what's happening right now i'm so confused let's just put a hold on the existential crisis until we
00:48:56hear what it is you have to do to make this right and i just hope they don't strip you of your
00:49:00presidential powers they can do that it's in the hands of the triumvirate of truth is that from star
00:49:05wars oh don't let the name fool you it's just mary louise pam and bob they meet at swigalicious and
00:49:09sugar house don't belittle the system these are time-proven protocols emergency measures to bring
00:49:15balance to the bylaws star wars who can forget the great hayfield mcavoy debate of 91 when a power
00:49:21grid dispute almost canceled christmas but lo two humble hoa members stepped into the breach
00:49:28and created the magna carta of merriment are you saying all this because you and i invented it can't
00:49:34i just be proud of our work yes but you don't make us sound humble humble schmumble that's not a nice
00:49:38accusation can we please make a good impression on the new neighbors honey do you think you'll
00:49:43ever forgive me it's not my forgiveness you need right now
00:49:58the triumvirate of truth has reached a decision do what must be done
00:50:12jared 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 find
00:50:43the target of your treason to be tyrannical it cannot be tolerated in order to be forgiven you must fulfill
00:50:50the following i don't read kirstie very well i'm sorry bob i don't know hieroglyphics
00:50:59i'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
00:51:26i'm sorry i hold on look i i'm all for you making good with ned i mean you can go out on your mandate
00:51:31you can bro it up all you want but as your interim president i have a mandate of my own anything before
00:51:38you go out with your bro i think belinda deserves a one-on-one conversation of her own don't you
00:51:45i concur madam president thank you i'm so embarrassed we had so much soda i i can't believe that we never
00:51:52thought of her i blame the firm psychological grip of the patriarchy my bad it's okay i've got my traveling
00:51:58quill all right i'll just add this to the bottom of the parchment okay men do not tell book club about
00:52:06this
00:52:22pink marink oh yes thank you you're delicious you know you didn't have to spring for the queen victoria
00:52:29package i i know i've been i wanted to i know you've always wanted to have tea with a daughter
00:52:36but you know there are no rules about having it with a son i appreciate it but it's me we we can just
00:52:43talk okay then i will start by apologizing emily reminded me that we're all adults here and
00:52:55i sure wasn't acting like one neither did i i could have told you i should have told you when
00:53:01i first started catching feelings but it took me a while to realize what was happening
00:53:09sorry are you a man like
00:53:16i don't i don't know how to define it exactly but according to mary louise the kids would say
00:53:22we're talking talking what 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
00:53:39that ned is a real rizzler
00:53:41rizzler love that for you i think your father's been gone for so long that i i kind of forgot what
00:53:50it felt like to be seen in that way and i never expected to feel that way about ned but something
00:53:57about him has changed and i love the way his eyes light up when he sees me or when he listens to me talk
00:54:05and i know he's one tall glass of some self-distilled spirit but he gets me and oh when he kisses me oh
00:54:14you can stop there i get the picture oh boy i think it just caught me by surprise you know i
00:54:22ned and i haven't always gotten along and he's the strangest man i've ever met
00:54:28but you know i love the guy i know you do and honestly it's still early with us i don't know
00:54:35what's going to happen but it means so much to me to know that i have your support absolutely i love
00:54:42you son i love you too but if you call ned the rizzler ever again i've changed my mind
00:54:50so when did you first know uh christmas eve uh the year emily came back your mother joined me
00:55:03outside for a mug of hot bourbon cider it was so dark i could just see the moon on her hair
00:55:12and we started talking about our favorite stars you know i could not narrow it down to one star
00:55:19but i do have a favorite nebula of course because everyone knows that so i was born
00:55:26may 1st yes which makes me a please land your plane a taurus taurus
00:55:34which means my favorite is going to be the crab nebula otherwise known as ngc 1952 sure
00:55:42every everyone knows that yes but what i didn't know was your mother's favorite star is
00:55:47australia north star you didn't know that at all i literally named the only star i could think of
00:55:54it's okay not all of us are astrophiles but those of us who are know that it is located in the
00:56:01constellation of taurus and then your mother tells me that australia is really a very famous greek nymph
00:56:10how about i stop you right there uh it's gonna be enough mythology for one evening no really you
00:56:14should google the story and read it later it's a scorcher i promise you i will not okay but do you
00:56:21want to ask you a favor yes sir first never use nymph and my mother in the same sentence ever again
00:56:29that's a big ask i'm asking i'm gonna try try really really hard yes sir also
00:56:35please treat her well and please be honest with her i swear on the stars and you watch out for

00:59:59to protect me after my grandmother passed and after the whole scarecrow thing and i just really
01:00:03hope that's not the reason your family decided to move away and after you moved i i thought you
01:00:09were angry at me i really did i thought you were mad and i should have talked to you about it right
01:00:12then and there and instead i put up this wall and it wasn't because i didn't like you it was
01:00:16actually quite the opposite come on emily you nicknamed me schlin shady and that was totally
01:00:21unfair i mean how were you supposed to know that i was gonna ask buzz oki to sadie's everyone wanted
01:00:25to ask buzz ah blue-eyed buzz the truth is you were so cool and popular and i and i just loved what
01:00:30you did with the school announcements you never told me that well i should have they were clever and
01:00:34funny and everyone loved them and i mean look look where you are now secretly i kind of always wanted
01:00:38to volunteer to write the copy for the teleprompter why didn't you say anything i just never had the
01:00:43courage and i was embarrassed about how things ended between us when you moved i just want to
01:00:49say i'm sorry that i let my own insecurities come between what could have been a really cool friendship

01:01:55i just do feel like the creative juices have been flowing you know since i started writing again
01:01:58i don't know maybe some of that energy's been absorbed into the baking as well i was gonna
01:02:03say there's something different about you i thought it was the honeymoon glow but got a little spark
01:02:07in you i didn't realize how much i miss writing you know like i've forgotten about the joy it brings

01:02:17back to doing something you love yeah exactly and even if it doesn't turn into something i do for
01:02:20money at least i know it's important to me it's exactly how i feel about the real housewives of salt lake city

01:02:35set up thanks oh thank you so much for hosting belinda was a little preoccupied this week if you

01:06:12i mean she can't how good jean she's never been able to cook anything in her life pamela if i had
01:06:18known how much this was going to upset you or how you were going to react i i would have just given

01:06:26thank you sure oh i don't know if it's a head injury or not but i want to apologize to all of you
01:06:39every year i get so obsessed with winning that i let it become my identity but as i look around and
01:06:46see all of your faces i realize that i've already won because i live on evergreen lane
01:06:53and there's no place like home oh you guys i'm so sorry to interrupt this very sweet moment then
01:07:02don't but i have news it looks like channel six wants to come out and live stream the carnival spooky
01:07:08alley and 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
01:07:57i'm just saying you know fundraising you know it's for the kids but you know it still seems really
01:08:01fishy to me i smell a conspiracy can't risk any more bad press guys guys guys come on it's time to
01:08:07help a prez out listen when i had to relinquish my powers to my better half i realized something
01:08:14i 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 to
01:08:26give 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 the 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 we
01:08:46back up our humble president and we show everyone what halloween means to us what do you say are you
01:08:52wins yeah ever scream on three one two three hey did you ever bob for apples oh you better believe
01:09:05oh well we're on here we go
01:09:15that way they call it bobbing for apples leave them alone it'll keep them busy till nap time smart
01:09:21inflatables are not scary and if they get unplugged did you i mean the illusion is ruined the idea is
01:09:28for the kids have a good time not sitting at home with night terrors look at this it's horrifying okay
01:09:32okay we're gonna mix her and also the animatronic chucky doll but i'm keeping the homemade baba
01:09:37dude oh keep the baba dude guys i'm a little worried about the costume contest we don't have
01:09:41any signups i mean my parents are given jared said he's preparing something other than that it is slow
01:09:46and i'm just worried we won't have a lot of foot traffic you know for the spooky alley i just hope the
01:09:50rumors aren't true what rumors oh i i don't like to gossip says a woman who invented the avril
01:09:55levine conspiracy oh i have my reasons and quite compelling evidence i might add thank you i don't
01:10:01care about that belinda tell me what you heard please spill it honey you gotta go listen i don't
01:10:05know what they've been talking about i'm scared we've been gone from us i don't care if you're scared
01:10:09grab a couple cans all right you know mary louise's hairdresser britney bateman girl can frost the top and
01:10:14that's no rumor apparently her sister-in-law heidi birch works out at train insane when none other
01:10:20than ashlyn ashworth she said they're only covering the spooky alley for click bait what oh i don't
01:10:27understand she's hoping it's going to be a train wreck like the pumpkin contest what do you got i got
01:10:32nothing and afterwards she posted about pamela from the beastly bake-off how do you suppose she heard
01:10:37about that do you reckon i've kept in touch with her mother i didn't know the phone call was on the record
01:10:42yeah there was always something strange about ashlyn didn't you tell me that when you were in high
01:10:47school they called her schlin shady yes technically but that was kind of my fault i don't think she
01:10:52has an ulterior motive oh really you don't think she does oh i hope so but you know after that first
01:10:57news piece went viral doesn't look like the rest of the neighborhood is so confident rumor or not
01:11:02we can't let this thing fail it's for charity now and we're gonna prove everyone wrong yes you know
01:11:06marvin and i are all in thank you i don't doubt it and you can put bob and i down too yeah we've been
01:11:11cooking up something that's uh what you find really what is that you can click down d j frankenside
01:11:19but another word mary louise i do not want any spoilers that's exactly what jared said he's not
01:11:25doing something with you no he insisted on doing something solo what about you guys ned asked me to
01:11:30join up with him really where are you going us i tell you but he made me sign an airtight non-disclosure
01:11:35agreement i will say the stakes are very high with this one what does airtight mean to you exactly
01:11:42and what about you pamela don't ask you know that helen and i are ride or die i wasn't asking to tag
01:11:48along i have something very special up my sleeve anyway well i hope that it's spooky because we've
01:11:52got something that's going to push that nosferatu meter to a high five ah yeah touchdown bob now empty
01:12:03those tubs because they're contaminated you're a lucky lady mary louise
01:12:12i don't know why that keeps happening to you graham you trying to tell me something
01:12:17i don't know what the stress levels are like on the other side there but let me tell you they're
01:12:23getting pretty high around here i'm just trying to balance it all you know chariot and the hoa
01:12:30and my work and all the activities and i really just want to make you proud she is proud
01:12:37you sure about that yeah the whole neighborhood is especially me i'm proud of you too even after my
01:12:54near impeachment okay so it wasn't exactly your brightest moment but it did show me how much
01:13:00you care about your mom and i love that about you i love everything about you
01:13:07i gotta tell you there was this moment at the bake-off when they announced my name is the winner
01:13:18it was the first time i had heard someone else say it out loud emily farnsworth
01:13:24i just had this surge of joy and love and it just filled my heart from bottom to top
01:13:31that is of course until it was totally ruined when pamela face planted into the ground but
01:13:35yeah 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
01:13:55like i'm dropping the ball that allows your husband oh honey come on marriage this is new for
01:14:01both of us i mean there's no shame in needing practice yeah i think if we're willing to be honest
01:14:07about what's going on inside the good the bad the ugly i think we'll be just fine yeah i think so too
01:14:17i am a little worried about all these rumors that are going around about ashlyn ashworth i i just i i
01:14:22don't even know what to believe anymore even if they are true so what this entire neighborhood is
01:14:26pulling together and if she thinks that we're gonna fall apart on live tv she's dead wrong you're
01:14:33absolutely right this neighborhood is so special and if people don't get it that's on them

01:18:37frankenstein he ignored his friends at school and didn't listen to his teachers he went around
01:18:42his lab just to work on his creature it took a bolt of lightning to bring the thing to life
01:18:46and then when he was done he started working on his wife doctor what dr dr dr frankenstein
01:18:52hey hey i i should have said this earlier but i just wanted to thank you for your kindness
01:19:09it meant a lot to jared and all of us really that you were willing to give us a second chance please
01:19:15don't mention it and i want to give you something it's it's not totally finished the dummy but in the
01:19:21spirit of ever scream lane it's about a little scarecrow who loves the tricks of halloween and a
01:19:26witch who loves the treats and well they figure out that they can both have a happy halloween
01:19:32it's so cute oh look it's us who did this oh i did it yeah i i did it i
01:19:41you know this whole season has been full of ups and downs but it's really inspired me to get back
01:19:45to doing what i love and you were a huge part of that i don't understand you've just always known
01:19:50what you wanted and you've gone for it and i truly admired that and i may have gotten a little
01:19:55sidetracked but i realized i got to get back to doing what i love which is writing books well thank
01:20:01you for this and thank you for what you said when you visited the studio it really helped me put
01:20:08everything into perspective i could have been a lot nicer to you as well maybe now we can start over
01:20:14i'd really like that yeah yeah i'd really like that and uh just a heads up you might want to send
01:20:22some more volunteers to the ticket booth oh really i've been sharing the fun of my stories and the word
01:20:27is really spreading you're about to have a lot more visitors headed your way oh thank you we're ready for
01:20:32them ladies and gentlemen it's time for our special guest nickelback on elm street i love nickelback
01:20:45give it up for the lead singer chatty krueger
01:20:48i realized when i was picking out this chatty krueger outfit that was the old jared thinking now
01:21:05i'm thinking as your husband what i really wanted was something for for us that's what this is what is
01:21:13this step into my lair oh look at their costumes could they be more adorable no someone surprised me
01:21:32with a couple's costume after all i like this so much i'm not gonna take it off i don't think i could
01:21:36take these off if i wanted to pamela sewed my shirt into my pants thanks again for making the fundraiser
01:21:41happen guys they are still counting donations but we have already earned double what we did last
01:21:48we 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
01:21:59i got it we're going to norway that is if my wife and i agree after an in-depth discussion there you go
01:22:18okay but tonight's not about santa we may only have a few hours left to celebrate before christmas
01:22:27takes over so what do you say we give halloween all we got happy halloween
01:22:32and 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
01:23:57you
