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.

00:09:11understanding of the hoa guidelines honey i don't think that's an actual person i think that's a

00:09:31counselor and head of activities committee emily melrose

00:09:38congratulations we've heard tale of the presidential power couple
00:09:41i had a premonition we would be graced by your presence won't you come inside
00:09:45i know it'd be amazing it would it would except that my wife and i we just got back from our
00:09:50honeymoon and we're very very very tired
00:09:52that's nothing a little jack-o-lantern java won't fix and marvin makes them extra strong
00:09:56yes i do that sounds amazing sure it is except that we haven't been deloused yet
00:10:01deloused yes but in the meantime per your display as detailed as it is we are going to have to ask you to
00:10:07you know pair it back pair it back the lights and the pumpkins can stay great touch actually but your lawn
00:10:13but your lawn display has to go back into the crib
00:10:19as it were
00:10:20i don't understand our realtor told us this was the most festive neighborhood in all of the state of utah
00:10:26and we are
00:10:27yes hi christmas we are ever green lane not ever scream lane
00:10:32whatever scream lane i love that we should totally call it that from god
00:10:35yes
00:10:36no don't do that that was just a very clever play on words for me to emphasize my point
00:10:41which is what exactly per hoa guidelines we um it it says that section 12
00:10:50i'm pretty sure it says you have too much halloween
00:10:53but that's not what albert told us and it was confirmed by gail so you've met my parents
00:10:57they were the first to welcome us to the neighborhood so nice of you both to let them stay with you for the rest of hurricane season
00:11:03especially right after the wedding
00:11:05must be scoring some serious son-in-law points fair
00:11:08well i better be
00:11:10you know what why don't you just excuse us we're gonna get settled and then we can discuss this whole
00:11:15in-laws and by-law situations that sound okay
00:11:17fair is foul and foul is fair
00:11:19just let us know
00:11:22will do
00:11:24so great to meet you
00:11:27same here
00:11:28it's a strange couple
00:11:30indeed
00:11:35i really hope you're not mad at me
00:11:37i'm definitely not mad emily i'm just a little
00:11:39surprised is all you why didn't you tell me you invited them
00:11:41so sorry my mom asked in the middle of the
00:11:43wedding craziness and i i just forgot i truly am sorry
00:11:46but they're in the guest loft above the garage you're never gonna see them
00:11:50don't apologize i love your parents love hosting your parents it's just
00:11:53you know like you said it's just me and you now so i just want to be on the same page
00:11:57on this stuff that's all
00:11:58absolutely
00:11:59i got your back
00:12:00and i've got yours
00:12:02now let's take care of this decoration situation
00:12:07all right
00:12:08jared 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
00:12:18and this you know the younger generation they're sneaking out of their bedrooms
00:12:21searching for the great pumpkin
00:12:22let's not get crazy now
00:12:25i'm not
00:12:27it's just
00:12:28i'm hoping we are being sensitive to those who may not feel comfortable celebrating this time of year
00:12:35we have bylaws put in place like this for a reason right
00:12:38but that's not entirely true
00:12:39what do you mean it's not true
00:12:41the motion to de-escalate the other holidays was proposed and hotly debated
00:12:45but in the end was never voted on and therefore never passed
00:12:50what other lies have i been told
00:12:52nobody lied to you jared
00:12:54the council just decided
00:12:56after what happened
00:12:58maybe a vote wasn't necessary
00:13:00everyone agreed to honor
00:13:02the 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
00:13:08oh honey
00:13:09have you forgotten
00:13:11we did all of this for you
00:13:14for me
00:13:15maybe she blocked it out
00:13:18it was the last big halloween we celebrated on the lane
00:13:22you mean the last year with grandma
00:13:33excuse me
00:13:34i'll be in the basement
00:13:36the ba-
00:13:38the ba-
00:13:40the ba-
00:14:01hey Graham Graham I'm sorry I left you down here I just couldn't figure out
00:14:09exactly where to put you your memory loves best in my head anyway I know it's
00:14:17not the best way to deal with things but here we are in a basement full of old
00:14:22memories no one can bother us Jiminy Christmas you scared me I'm sorry I
00:14:27just I know how you feel about basements and well you've been down here for wow
00:14:3327 minutes and counting it's gotta be a record for me honestly it's not that
00:14:37bad what was that Bernice yeah I know I still hate it down here
00:14:49you okay yeah I'll be fine
00:14:56I think I've just been so focused on the wedding and our future that I kind of
00:15:02forgot about the past she was a great woman yeah I can still hear her voice
00:15:09remember what she always used to say to us you two belong in a storybook it's
00:15:19Halloween sweetie what could you possibly be upset about Ashlyn Ashworth and her
00:15:24friends just like scarecrows in her yard and they totally jumped out and scared
00:15:29us you got yard yelp did you yep don't let them get to you they were just trying to
00:15:34have fun but I ran so fast I spilled my candy on the way back that's okay Emily I'll share mine
00:15:40Jared that won't be necessary I'll take you two out on the golf cart
00:15:45awesome I heard Mary Louise and Bob are giving out full-sized candy bars we gotta get there before
00:15:50they run out all in good time before we go why don't you tell Jared what I always say about
00:16:03Halloween never go to Ned's house he only gives out freeze-dried elk liver true what else do I say
00:16:10about Halloween it started as a day to remember those who passed away even though we get to dress up and
00:16:16good candy 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
00:16:27why do we dress up because it's tradition and there's no better way to connect with
00:16:32your friends and neighbors than through age-old traditions now what do you say we
00:16:37get back to my favorite one of all trick-or-treating I had no idea that'd be the last time she took us
00:16:55trick-or-treating she was gone just two weeks later that's 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 Halloween was never the same without her of course I was
00:17:09heartbroken when she passed but I had no idea that's why everyone else pulled back from
00:17:13celebrating and in it I never asked for that and certainly not something gram gram would have
00:17:18wanted oh you're right but she said it herself Halloween is for remembering your loved ones and
00:17:23having a whole lot of fun it's time we bring Halloween back evergreen style are you sure about
00:17:30this no I'm not sure about this I'm actually scared hot to death about this you know how I am I don't
00:17:35like scary movies I don't even like movies that people say aren't scary but definitely are tell
00:17:38me about it I'm trying to get you to finish never-ending story for forever yeah that's
00:17:42never gonna happen because I hate quicksand as much as I hate scary basements noted but it's time
00:17:45for you to wake up and face the creepy organ music for the neighborhood and for grandma and for you
00:17:53now let's get you out of here first no kissing in the creepy basement fair enough speed it up buttercup we
00:18:03got work to do good grandma figure I can call you that I'll let him officially in the family don't worry

00:18:27wow look what I found
00:18:55portal to pan's labyrinth my grandma's witch hat oh there's so much great stuff up here I can see
00:19:02why you spent so much time here you've never been to my attic no I was never allowed apparently I'm
00:19:08still trespassing no boys allowed even Jowid Farnsworth spelling was atrocious in your defense
00:19:15that is the way I used to pronounce it no Jared Farnsworth is very much allowed up here he's not a
00:19:21boy he's a man my man all right we have to brainstorm how we are gonna make this the best
00:19:27Halloween in years we could start by selling tickets to this creepy attic come on it's not
00:19:32that creepy I will not be ashamed by my choice in music and how do you explain the creepy typewriter
00:19:38from the shiny that was my grandma's she taught me to type on that one yeah and that was the desk
00:19:43where I would sit and write all my stories you know maybe this is a message from her to get you
00:19:48to start writing again I wish she'd sent that message to my former agent or publisher or two
00:19:53I spent most of my 20s trying to make a career out of writing stories but it just wasn't meant to be
00:19:59maybe 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
00:20:13all right we gotta get busy okay we have an HOA meeting to plan we have some serious bylaws to
00:20:20propose I am gonna mobilize the ladies of the activities committee and if you could coordinate
00:20:24with Ned about a venue on it thank you oh Jared thanks for the inspiration Graham we'll make you proud
00:20:49all 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 them off and as gram gram would say
00:21:10mount up come on honey let's go Ned's hosting and you know he needs a good 36 hour advance notice to
00:21:18be must the place come in sweetheart I thought we agreed after the last time that we weren't gonna
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 to go well then we're gonna 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 doughnuts it's on the creepy crewler Ned don't push me on the pastries you
00:21:50can't have a creepy crewler because they don't exist wait there are only crullers no doughnuts I know how
00:21:58popular they are so I made them all crullers I'm sorry what did you say colors I say colors that's what
00:22:04I thought thank you Belinda at least you won't embarrass yourself leg wrestling Bob for one of them I would
00:22:09have won if he let me wear my orthotic sneakers it was barefoot or bust in my day that's because
00:22:15they hadn't invented shoes yet so what's the tea fam are the new neighbors going to show up today if
00:22:23they do I'm sure it'll be in a puff of smoke or on broom back I swear those two are witches have
00:22:29you ever heard that Luna speak every word she says sounds like she's casting a spell so spooky yeah they've
00:22:35been invited as per Jared and the prima conventus clause of 94 I've heard that Marvin is a mortgage
00:22:42banker by day and moonlights as an undertaker just for kicks I don't know what they called them in the
00:22:4919th century but today we call them morticians and where did you hear that from anyway I'll give you a
00:22:55hint he wears a singlet for underwear and he believes that pro wrestling is real if a masked man gave you the
00:23:03tombstone pile driver at a waffle house outside of Galveston I assure you you would know just how
00:23:10real it is I can see that your ongoing litigation with the undertaker hasn't been resolved that doesn't
00:23:16mean that Marvin works in a mortuary for fun think about it the initials M Balmer M Balmer what kind of a
00:23:24cruel joke were his parents playing worst part is I am M Balmer the fifth so that's five generations of being
00:23:31bullied in middle school but no I am not a mortician for fun or professionally just want to clear that up from
00:23:37the jump sorry didn't mean to be rude not offended in the least round about the cauldron go in the poison entrails

00:26:29committee's feedback I ran it by mr. president here and we have decided to turn evergreen Lane
00:26:35into evergreen Lane we have taken the traditions of yesteryear combined with the zeitgeist of current
00:26:47day to bring this spooky season to life in a new and thrilling way inspired by the boldness of the
00:26:54Balmers each household will be required to create a Halloween lawn display to bring the spirit of this
00:27:00holiday to life you have a one week to get your displays together or there will be consequences I
00:27:06mean it'll be like you know a citation or community service hours but do not tempt me for I have fresh
00:27:13citation pads there will be daily activities leading up to Halloween such as a pumpkin painting contest
00:27:19painting why 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
00:27:32touch your corduroys thank you Pamela you're gonna be thrilled to know that there will be a beastly
00:27:36bake-off yes oh my gosh I could be ghoulia child with spooky sweaters and just how we do a toy drive at
00:27:46Christmas we will be doing a charity food drive but to top it all off sorry okay Jared really wanted to
00:27:55do this part so good thank you so much honey and to top it all off on all Hallows Eve October 31st
00:28:01Halloween after the tricks have been played after the treats have been treated we will have a
00:28:08cul-de-sac carnival costume competition to bring that creativity to life are there any rules to who
00:28:16we can or cannot impersonate no more foreign dignitaries we do not need the FBI here again yes
00:28:22Ned please keep all costumes within the parameters of HOA guidelines and in accordance with state and
00:28:26federal laws tricky but not impossible in light of all this we have something we'd like to propose
00:28:32that is if we can't invoke a dendem 3 of the party protocol well invoke away please I know you already
00:28:37have the food drive planned but every year we do a big spooky alley in our front yard we go all out to
00:28:45raise money for the children's hospital as a young girl I was treated there and they saved my life so
00:28:51we try to do everything we can to give back that's amazing I mean dealt with the charity I love it I
00:28:56really wait wait wait wait wait wait how spooky are we talking say like a five or a six on the
00:29:03Nosferatu meter but we had a 7.5 once no no five but that was close to y2k so all sorts of things
00:29:11were happening that won't happen again okay I'm not opposed to it as long as we remember this is for
00:29:21the kids so we have to keep the scare factor to a fiber below yeah of course should we just take a
00:29:25vote well I think we have to I mean that's part of the bylaws yeah then that settles it I'll pass out some
00:29:30ballots and we can decide if this neighborhood is ready to come together to face our biggest fears this
00:29:37Halloween I've already faced my greatest fear a hot yoga class taught by Ned it's free on Thursdays
00:29:43oh it might be free but you will pay dearly trust me now take me off your MailChimp
00:29:49Halloween is back baby okay I hope 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
00:30:25new I played one song for him one time he totally made fun of me the next day it was all he was
00:30:30listening to he's basically made it his whole personality same thing with Jared he's been driving
00:30:34all the way to Provo to go to this tailor-made costume store almost every day you are in it we are
00:30:39but it is just a lot to balance with work I feel like I'm kind of just going through the motions I
00:30:44mean I'm doing a good job but it's just it's not fulfilling welcome to most of America I think
00:30:49it's just you know the wedding and the honeymoon it was so perfect I just want to relive it well
00:30:53the honeymoon phase is great but the real joy of marriage is the journey that lies ahead I love
00:30:59that speaking of I have to get that little journey to piano lessons and you want to wrap up that book
00:31:05you're reading we got to get going all done I finished the whole series actually do you have any
00:31:10more oh I didn't even realize Jared had brought that box down from the attic no I only wrote the
00:31:15seven seven how come I only knew about one after my agent didn't get any bites on the first one she
00:31:21dropped me like a t-swift album didn't really make sense to continue I really like the different aliens
00:31:26Zolt is so funny really what was your favorite part probably when the hover wagon was broken and
00:31:32Zolt was the only one who could fix it because of the combo wrench his dad gave him wow you really did
00:31:38read it yep let me know if you're right anymore thanks Nicole I will
00:31:56oh cute costume you look adorable
00:32:00you shall not pass
00:32:06live fools
00:32:11boo what are you doing here I've been trying to ask you the same question but someone I know
00:32:16doesn't answer their phone for the last two hours I'm sorry the store's a bit of a dead zone didn't
00:32:20you see the sign Jared that says undead zone it's just a clever sign to sell zombie paraphernalia
00:32:26I love this store clearly you've been coming here every day since we jumped on this haunted
00:32:31hayride I just want to feel inspired you know we have a costume contest coming up no we're doing
00:32:36Phantom of the Opera we're singing the duet yeah um I wanted to talk to you about that Jared you
00:32:41know I don't do harmony what if I did the contest alone oh okay is that fine yeah I mean I
00:32:53don't know what to say but honest reaction go
00:32:56it's fine of course it's fine yeah we have been doing a lot of stuff together lately and maybe
00:33:02maybe we should do some things on our own okay so you're not annoyed I'm only annoyed that now
00:33:08I have to figure out what I'm doing whatever it is I'm sure it's going to be epic speaking of epic
00:33:13we should discuss lawn display ASAP now what are you thinking evil battling robots zombie apocalypse
00:33:19no no this is what I wanted to tell you I think I have found the perfect thing
00:33:25I'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
00:33:37no think about it last Halloween with grandma
00:33:39Hansel 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
00:33:48I'm gonna get to work on the blueprints immediately we don't have time for blueprints
00:33:51once 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
00:33:58I'm not
00:34:01but if I was
00:34:04I 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
00:34:10haunts my dreams 20 years later
00:34:13I could see her in that scarecrow makeup
00:34:15she's lurking about oh 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
00:34:29that way every screen 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
00:34:36everyone can see it
00:34:37thanks
00:34:39you know though speaking of Ashlyn
00:34:41doesn't she host Wake Up Utah on Channel 6
00:34:44yes
00:34:44her 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
00:34:59but 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

00:38:16did you get rejected from the Santa Academy
00:38:18what did you hear something
00:38:18no
00:38:19it's worse than that
00:38:19how is that even possible
00:38:20it's Ned
00:38:21did he steal your devil sticks
00:38:22what no
00:38:23where are those by the way
00:38:24it's so odd
00:38:25maybe they'll show up
00:38:26it's so bad
00:38:26I don't even want to say it out loud
00:38:27okay 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

00:38:32Ned

00:38:35oh no
00:38:38I don't care what he says
00:38:43I refuse to call him dad
00:38:45you might be getting ahead of yourself here
00:38:46you don't know how serious it is yet
00:38:48whatever it was
00:38:49it definitely was not in the friend zone
00:38:51do they know that you saw them flirting
00:38:52no
00:38:53and I'll never say a word
00:38:54because I want it erased from my memory
00:38:55every time I close my eyes
00:38:57I can just
00:38:57see the way they were looking at each other
00:38:59just focused and intense
00:39:01like there was no one else in the cul-de-sac
00:39:03actually sounds kind of sweet
00:39:04the man pours pickle brine
00:39:07in his shredded wheat
00:39:07there's nothing sweet about him
00:39:09I have to tell Pamela not to tell anyone
00:39:13she saw too
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
00:39:19we have to stop this
00:39:19I get that you're upset
00:39:20but you got to remember they're adults
00:39:21and Ned is Ned
00:39:23and maybe that's what your mom wants
00:39:24or maybe she's onto her spell
00:39:26didn't you say that he studied hypnosis in Vienna?
00:39:29Jared
00:39:29you have to talk to her
00:39:31ask her how she's feeling
00:39:32she's obviously worried
00:39:34and 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
00:39:38at this point
00:39:38I don't know if it is
00:39:39great
00:39:40okay why don't you just take a breath
00:39:42let me go work on the gingerbread house
00:39:43I'm sure there's some gumdrops that need to be gummed
00:39:44or some candy that needs to be caned
00:39:46what?
00:39:47there's no candy canes at Halloween
00:39:49Jared
00:39:49just eat your pie
00:39:51for you I will
00:39:51needs more sprinkles
00:39:52that looks good
00:39:55when did you do this?
00:39:57I've been wrapped up with all this Ned
00:39:59not since I haven't even noticed this
00:40:00what are you doing over here?

00:43:46gourd
00:43:46gourdages
00:43:47that is a good one
00:43:49did you just come up with that?
00:43:50that's been ripening
00:43:51on the vine for years
00:43:52don't make me put you down for enough
00:43:54Bob
00:43:55when you're known for only Christmas
00:43:56you don't have the opportunity
00:43:57to show your range
00:43:59most people know that
00:44:00I have a doctorate
00:44:01in arts and crafts
00:44:03but what they don't know
00:44:04is that I did a study abroad
00:44:06in the Atacama region
00:44:07of northern Chile
00:44:09which is the pumpkin capital
00:44:10of South America
00:44:11basically I have forgotten
00:44:13more about these babies
00:44:15than most people will learn
00:44:16in a lifetime
00:44:17I'm about to PH destroy
00:44:19the competition
00:44:20if you know what I mean
00:44:21do you know what I mean?
00:44:23I think I do
00:44:24how would you describe
00:44:25your neighbors?
00:44:26intense
00:44:26in a good way
00:44:27like Benedict
00:44:28from Much Ado About Nothing
00:44:29well I'd say a little more
00:44:31like Catherine
00:44:31from Taming Up the Trail
00:44:32she's more like Rosalind
00:44:33well no I mean
00:44:34I know you love Rosalind
00:44:35might as well talk about Tartuffe
00:44:36I'm excited to use
00:44:37the pointillism technique
00:44:38my mom taught me
00:44:39I think it really captures
00:44:40the essence of the holiday
00:44:41without being too on the nose
00:44:43I've gone for more
00:44:44of a cubist approach
00:44:45using shapes to really
00:44:46represent the surreal nature
00:44:48of what Halloween represents
00:44:49look at those couple goals
00:44:50adorable
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
00:44:54to stay calm
00:44:55look at the wise
00:44:56look at the wise
00:44:58that's something you only say
00:44:59under extreme duress
00:45:00deep breaths
00:45:01Ty for this one
00:45:02I'd love to get a nice
00:45:03in-camera zoom
00:45:04as you can see
00:45:05not everyone
00:45:06dressed up
00:45:07for the painting contest
00:45:08I guess
00:45:09some of us
00:45:10just care more
00:45:12now Ty
00:45:14go wide
00:45:14go wide
00:45:15paint with us
00:45:20fun fact
00:45:22the first jack-o-lanterns
00:45:24were made from turnips
00:45:26or large potatoes
00:45:27it stemmed from the Celtic
00:45:29Samhain festival in Ireland
00:45:30which some people pronounce
00:45:32Samhain
00:45:32yeah
00:45:33they were believed
00:45:35to ward off evil spirits
00:45:36lurking about
00:45:37but today
00:45:38there's a much more
00:45:40jocular meaning to it
00:45:42and dare I say
00:45:43romantic
00:45:44oh romantic
00:45:45in what way
00:45:46take our pumpkins
00:45:47for example
00:45:48oh Romeo and Juliet
00:45:50correct
00:45:51we are nearing
00:45:52noontide
00:45:53so the lighting is
00:45:54not correct for this
00:45:56but
00:45:56could you imagine
00:45:58what this street
00:45:59would look like
00:46:01at night
00:46:02and with these pumpkins
00:46:03carved and lit
00:46:04as they should
00:46:05have been done

00:47:25Barnesworth smashes
00:47:26a jack-o-lantern
00:47:27of love
00:47:28begging the question
00:47:30should this neighborhood
00:47:31actually be called
00:47:32ever mean lane?
00:47:35that's enough Ashland
00:47:36back to you Ted
00:47:37back to you Ted
00:47:40as a childhood resident
00:47:44of the lane
00:47:44I know from experience
00:47:46how firm of a grip
00:47:47the homeowners association
00:47:49has on its residents
00:47:50the intensity is simply
00:47:52too much for some
00:47:53including my parents
00:47:54when asked HOA President
00:47:56Jared Barnesworth
00:47:57refused to make a statement
00:47:59but his actions
00:48:00spoke much more
00:48:02than words
00:48:02many Utahns
00:48:06would dream
00:48:07of living on
00:48:08Evergreen Lane
00:48:09but today felt
00:48:10more like a nightmare
00:48:11on Elm Street
00:48:12oh come on
00:48:13that's just
00:48:13yellow journalism
00:48:14with a reputation
00:48:15like that
00:48:15I have a feeling
00:48:16the surrounding communities
00:48:17will be frightened
00:48:18away from the rest
00:48:20of the activities
00:48:20this Halloween

00:48:35do you understand
00:48:36the implications
00:48:37behind that type of betrayal

00:49:32because you and I
00:49:33invented it?

00:50:18in a pedestrian perimeter
00:50:19not only did this impact
00:50:20the cleanliness
00:50:21of our curbs
00:50:22but it brought
00:50:22negative news coverage
00:50:23to the neighborhood
00:50:24which in turn
00:50:25plummeted
00:50:26the projected property values
00:50:27by approximately
00:50:28three percent
00:50:30hold my soda
00:50:31we know Ned

00:50:45to be tyrannical
00:50:46it cannot be tolerated
00:50:48in order to be forgiven
00:50:49you must fulfill

00:53:56something about him
00:53:58has changed

00:59:37with the tapings
00:59:38and keeping up
00:59:39with my followers
00:59:40I've recorded seven cameos
00:59:41this week
00:59:41oh my goodness
00:59:42I'm gonna make it quick
00:59:43I um
00:59:45don't worry about Mikayla
00:59:46she has heard it all
00:59:46she is a bolt
00:59:48I just wanted
00:59:50to apologize
00:59:51for when we were younger
00:59:52I was the one
00:59:53that scared you
00:59:54remember
00:59:54I know
00:59:55but what I really mean
00:59:56is after that
00:59:56I know the neighbors
00:59:58went into overdrive
00:59:59trying to protect me
00:59:59after my grandmother passed
01:00:01and after the whole
01:00:01scarecrow thing
01:00:02and I just really hope
01:00:03that's not the reason
01:00:04your family decided
01:00:05to move away
01:00:06and after you moved
01:00:08I thought you were
01:00:09angry at me
01:00:09I really did
01:00:10I thought you were mad
01:00:11and I should have
01:00:11talked to you about it
01:00:12right then and there
01:00:13and instead I put up
01:00:13this wall
01:00:14and it wasn't because
01:00:15I didn't like you
01:00:16it was actually
01:00:17quite the opposite
01:00:18come on Emily
01:00:19you nicknamed me
01:00:20Schlin Shady
01:00:20and that was totally unfair
01:00:21I mean how were you
01:00:22supposed to know
01:00:22that I was gonna ask
01:00:23Buzz Oki to Sadie's
01:00:24everyone wanted to ask Buzz
01:00:26ah blue eyed Buzz

01:00:38always wanted to
01:00:39volunteer to write the copy
01:00:40for the teleprompter
01:00:41why didn't you say anything
01:00:42I just never had the courage
01:00:43and I was embarrassed
01:00:45about how things ended
01:00:46between us when you moved
01:00:47I just want to say
01:00:50I'm sorry
01:00:50that I let my own
01:00:51insecurities come between

01:06:47I realize that I've already won
01:06:50because I live on

01:06:56like home

01:07:04it looks like channel 6
01:07:06wants to come out

01:07:08spooky alley

01:07:13yay
01:07:14okay everyone
01:07:20everyone
01:07:21thank you
01:07:22thank you so much
01:07:23for coming on such short notice
01:07:25an opportunity
01:07:26has presented itself
01:07:28and I just had to share
01:07:29and bring it to a vote
01:07:30I got a text from
01:07:31Ashton Ashworth
01:07:32at channel 6
01:07:33and it looks like
01:07:34they want to come back
01:07:36to the lane
01:07:36what about that smear piece
01:07:38she did about us
01:07:39It wasn't exactly a smear.
01:07:41Jared did go full Billy Corgan on those pumpkins.
01:07:44He did.
01:07:44I'm taking full responsibility for my actions.
01:07:47Apparently, it was great for ratings for the network,
01:07:49and they want to come back and cover the carnival and the spooky alley.
01:07:51I think this could take our fundraiser to the next level.
01:07:54I think we should do it, guys.
01:07:55They lived here, like, five minutes.
01:07:57I'm just saying, you know, we've been fundraising, you know, it's for the kids,
01:08:00but, you know, it still seems really fishy to me.
01:08:02I smell a conspiracy.
01:08:03Can't risk any more bad press.
01:08:05Guys, guys, guys, come on.
01:08:07It's time to help a prez out.
01:08:08Listen, when I had to relinquish my powers to my better half,
01:08:12I realized something.
01:08:14I realized that serving this community, it's a privilege.
01:08:19I let my anger get the best of me,
01:08:21and I was a very poor example of how our leaders should be.
01:08:24Luckily, you guys cared about me enough to give me a second chance.
01:08:27Now it's our chance to come together as a community and a neighborhood
01:08:31and celebrate in front of the entire state of Utah.
01:08:35And a few select counties in Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada.
01:08:38Depending on local TV markets.
01:08:40Yes, Ned.
01:08:41Not important, but sure.
01:08:43Yeah.
01:08:44The point is, it's time we back up our humble president,
01:08:47and we show everyone what Halloween means to us.
01:08:51What do you say?
01:08:51Are you in?
01:08:52Yeah, I'm in.
01:08:53Ever scream on three.
01:08:54One, two, three.
01:08:55Ever scream!
01:08:56Hey!
01:09:01Oh, hey!
01:09:03Did you ever bob for apples?
01:09:04Oh, you better believe me.
01:09:05Oh, well, we're on.
01:09:06Here we go!
01:09:07All the cash is moving, but I keep on falling.
01:09:10Even if I can't afford to look back down.
01:09:13Oh, oh, oh, oh!
01:09:14Is that why they call it bobbing for apples?
01:09:18Leave them alone.
01:09:18It'll keep them busy till now.
01:09:20I'm smart.
01:09:21Inflatables are not scary.
01:09:23And if they get unplugged, did you...
01:09:24I mean, the illusion is ruined.
01:09:27The idea is for the kids to have a good time,
01:09:29not send them home with night terrors.
01:09:31Look at this.
01:09:31It's horrifying.
01:09:32Okay, okay.
01:09:33We're going to mix her and also the animatronic Chucky doll.
01:09:36But I'm keeping the homemade Babadook.
01:09:37Oh, keep the Babadook.
01:09:38Babadook.
01:09:39Guys, I'm a little worried about the costume contest.
01:09:41We don't have any sign-ups.
01:09:42I mean, my parents are a given.
01:09:43Jared said he's preparing something.
01:09:45Other than that, it is slow.
01:09:46And I'm just worried we won't have a lot of foot traffic,
01:09:48you know, for the spooky alley.
01:09:49I just hope the rumors aren't true.
01:09:51What rumors?
01:09:51Oh, I don't like to gossip.
01:09:53Says a woman who invented the Avril Lavigne conspiracy.
01:09:56Oh, I have my reasons.
01:09:58And quite compelling evidence, I might add.
01:10:01I don't care about that.
01:10:02Belinda, tell me what you heard.
01:10:03Please spill it.
01:10:04Honey, you've got to go listen.
01:10:05I don't know what they've been talking about.
01:10:06I'm scared.
01:10:07We've been gone for months.
01:10:08I don't care if you're scared.
01:10:09Grab a couple cans of them.
01:10:09All right.
01:10:10You know Mary Louise's hairdresser, Brittany Bateman?
01:10:12Girl can frost the top and that's no rumor.
01:10:15Apparently, her sister-in-law, Heidi Birch, works out at Train Insane with none other
01:10:20than Ashlyn Ashworth.
01:10:22She said they're only covering the spooky alley for clickbait.
01:10:25What?
01:10:26Oh, I don't understand.
01:10:28She's hoping it's going to be a train wreck like the pumpkin contest.
01:10:31What do you got?
01:10:31I got nothing.
01:10:32And after what she posted about Pamela from the Beastly Bake Off.
01:10:36How do you suppose she heard about that, do you reckon?
01:10:38I've kept in touch with her mother.
01:10:40I didn't know the phone call was on the record.
01:10:43There was always something strange about Ashlyn.
01:10:45Didn't you tell me that when you were in high school, they called her schlin shady?
01:10:49Yes, technically, but that was kind of my fault.
01:10:51I don't think she has an ulterior motive.
01:10:53Oh, really?
01:10:53You don't think she does?
01:10:54Oh, I hope so.
01:10:55But, you know, after that first news piece went viral, it doesn't look like the rest of
01:10:59the neighborhood is so confident.
01:11:01Rumor or not, we can't let this thing fail.
01:11:03It's for charity now, and we're going to prove everyone wrong.
01:11:05Yes.
01:11:06You know Marvin and I are all in, so thank you.
01:11:08I don't doubt it.
01:11:09And you can put Bob and I down, too.
01:11:11Yeah, we've been cooking up something that's electrifying.
01:11:14Really?
01:11:14What is that?
01:11:15You can put down DJ Frankenstein?
01:11:19Is that another word, Mary Louise?
01:11:21I do not want any spoilers.
01:11:24That's exactly what Jared said.
01:11:25He's not doing something with you?
01:11:26No, he insisted on doing something solo.
01:11:29What about you guys?
01:11:30Ned asked me to join up with him.
01:11:31Really?
01:11:31Where are you going us?
01:11:32I tell you, but he made me sign an airtight non-disclosure agreement.
01:11:36I will say, the stakes are very high with this one.
01:11:40What does airtight mean to you exactly?
01:11:42And what about you, Pamela?
01:11:43Don't ask.
01:11:44You know that Helen and I are ride or die.
01:11:46I wasn't asking to tag along.
01:11:49I have something very special up my sleeve anyway.
01:11:51Well, I hope that it's spooky, because we've got something that's going to push that Nosferatu
01:11:54meter to a high five.
01:11:56Oh, yeah.
01:12:00Touchdown, Bob.
01:12:03Now empty those tubs, because they're contaminated.
01:12:06You're a lucky lady, Mary Louise.
01:12:08I don't know why that keeps happening to you, Graham.
01:12:16You trying to tell me something?
01:12:19I don't know what the stress levels are like on the other side there, but let me tell you,
01:12:23they're getting pretty high around here.
01:12:26I'm just trying to balance it all.
01:12:28You know, Jared and the HOA and my work and all the activities, and I really just want to
01:12:33make you proud.
01:12:36She is proud.
01:12:40Are you sure about that?
01:12:43Yeah.
01:12:46The whole neighborhood is.
01:12:48Especially me.
01:12:50I'm proud of you, too.
01:12:53Even after my near impeachment?
01:12:55Okay, so it wasn't exactly your brightest moment, but it did show me how much you care about
01:13:01your mom, and I love that about you.
01:13:02And I love everything about you.
01:13:10I gotta tell you, there was this moment at the bake-off when they announced my name
01:13:16as the winner.
01:13:17Mm-hmm.
01:13:17It was the first time I had heard someone else say it out loud.
01:13:22Emily Farnsworth.
01:13:24I just had this surge of joy and love, and it just filled my heart from bottom to top.
01:13:30That is, of course, until it was totally ruined when Pamela face-planted into the ground,
01:13:35but for a moment, it was perfect.
01:13:39I'm so proud to be married to you.
01:13:44Thank you for saying that.
01:13:47I needed to hear that.
01:13:50I feel like I was really good at being your boyfriend, your fiancé, and I feel like I'm
01:13:55dropping the ball that allows your husband.
01:13:57Oh, honey, come on.
01:13:58Marriage, this is new for both of us.
01:14:02I mean, there's no shame in needing practice.
01:14:04Yeah.
01:14:05I think if we're willing to be honest about what's going on inside, the good, the bad,
01:14:10the ugly, I think we'll be just fine.
01:14:15Yeah, I think so, too.
01:14:16I am a little worried about all these rumors that are going around about Ashlyn Ashworth.
01:14:21I just, I don't even know what to believe anymore.
01:14:24Even if they are true, so what?
01:14:25This entire neighborhood is pulling together, and if she thinks that we're going to fall
01:14:29apart on live TV, she's dead wrong.
01:14:33You're absolutely right.
01:14:34This neighborhood is so special, and if people don't get it, that's on them.
01:14:38You know what?
01:14:42I'm going to stay up and work on my book a little bit.
01:14:45Okay.
01:14:47You don't have to wait up.
01:14:48Like all the time you need.
01:14:50Because I am planning a little surprise for us.
01:15:01Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
01:15:03I was going to ask you the same thing.
01:15:04Why?
01:15:05I'm clearly Glinda the Good.
01:15:06I know.
01:15:06Sorry.
01:15:06I don't know why I said that.
01:15:07You look cute, but what's with the headset?
01:15:10Well, somebody's got to run the show, so...
01:15:11I get that.
01:15:12I'm excited.
01:15:14Where's your husband?
01:15:15Oh, he's been out running errands for the carnival all day.
01:15:18I think he's waiting for the big reveal.
01:15:19He doesn't want anyone to see his costume until the last minute.
01:15:21I'll make sure the cameras are rolling.
01:15:24Okay.
01:15:25Yeah.
01:15:26Um, I should probably go.
01:15:28Thanks.
01:15:28Ty, let's get B-roll.
01:15:32Well, I know they say wickedness was never happiness, but this outfit begs to differ.
01:15:36You look amazing.
01:15:38Where is your costume?
01:15:40I told you it's a surprise.
01:15:41Okay, well, you better hurry up.
01:15:42I can't be seen with a Halloween humbug.
01:15:44I would not dream of it.
01:15:47I don't know what to think.
01:15:49I just can't tell if she's up to no good.
01:15:51It doesn't matter.
01:15:52Look at this cul-de-sac.
01:15:54You're literally surrounded by loved ones.
01:15:56You got this.
01:15:58There you go.
01:15:59Gotta go.
01:15:59Look who's coming.
01:16:02Oh, look who's coming.
01:16:05Oh, yeah.
01:16:07There you go.
01:16:08There you go.
01:16:10It's nice to disappear.
01:16:13Hi, Halloween.
01:16:14I'm playing tricks so much it comes here.
01:16:19Happy Halloween.
01:16:21Ah, good lord.
01:16:22What are you, 30?
01:16:24No, out of here.
01:16:25Out.
01:16:26You did my taxes last year.
01:16:27You can't trick or treat.
01:16:28You're too old.
01:16:29I hope it picks up.
01:16:40I'm not worried.
01:16:42You think it has anything to do with pretty pink princess over there?
01:16:44I mean, I hope not.
01:16:45Oh, yeah, I see how it is.
01:16:47You don't show up for Helen's harp recital,
01:16:49but you make it to the Halloween party.
01:16:51Sorry, sis.
01:16:52You know, I can't pass up a good old-fashioned fright fest.
01:16:56It is a full moon, but keep the scares to a minimum.
01:16:58Emily will have you removed from the premises.
01:17:00It's true.
01:17:01I'm more Teen Wolf than full-blown Lycan.
01:17:03But Lycan is nerdy little brother speak for werewolf.
01:17:06The lore is very important to me,
01:17:08especially at this time of year.
01:17:10Do you accept cashier's checks?
01:17:12Well, sure.
01:17:12I don't see why not.
01:17:14You're welcome.
01:17:15These are great, by the way.
01:17:17Yeah.
01:17:18All right, scare you guys later.
01:17:19Bucky, this isn't Costco.
01:17:21Those aren't free samples.
01:17:22No, no, no.
01:17:23Let him have it.
01:17:24Lycan or not, the man is generous.
01:17:28Well, I ain't super-digit,
01:17:32but I'm blank and go on my trail.
01:17:38Well, I ain't super-digit.
01:17:41Who dares receive each other
01:17:44as we shall make our grease
01:17:46and clamor roar upon his death?
01:17:49And now, straight from Transylvania,
01:17:52some dark magic from Dracula.
01:17:54I want to blow your mind.
01:17:59False face must hide
01:18:00with the false heart.
01:18:02Darth Known.
01:18:04I hope I haven't made a mistake.
01:18:12You are like me now, my love.
01:18:16All right, everybody.
01:18:18Let's give it up for DJ Frankenstein
01:18:21and his boo-fee.
01:18:22Woo!
01:18:26If you're looking at our costumes
01:18:28and you're feeling kind of jelly,
01:18:30I'll tell you a story
01:18:31by the Lady Mary Shelley.
01:18:32The stalens guarantee
01:18:33to send a shiver down your spine.
01:18:35It's about the one I know
01:18:36like Dr. Frankenstein.
01:18:38He ignored his friends at school
01:18:39and didn't listen to his teachers.
01:18:41He went around his lab
01:18:42just to work an honest creature.
01:18:44It took a bolt of lightning
01:18:45to bring the thing to life.
01:18:46And then when he was done,
01:18:48he started working on his wife.
01:18:49Doctor what?
01:18:50Doctor, Doctor, Doctor Frankenstein.
01:18:52Doctor who?
01:18:53Doctor, Doctor, Doctor Frankenstein.
01:19:01Hey.
01:19:03Hey.
01:19:04I should have said this earlier,
01:19:06but I just wanted to thank you
01:19:08for your kindness.
01:19:09It meant a lot to Jared
01:19:11and all of us, really,
01:19:12that you were willing
01:19:13to give us a second chance.
01:19:14Please, don't mention it.
01:19:15And I want to give you something.
01:19:17It's not totally finished,
01:19:19the dummy,
01:19:20but in the spirit
01:19:22of Ever Scream Lane,
01:19:23it's about a little scarecrow
01:19:24who loves the tricks of Halloween
01:19:25and a witch who loves the treats.
01:19:27And, well,
01:19:28they figure out
01:19:29that they can both
01:19:30have a happy Halloween.
01:19:32It's so cute.
01:19:33Oh, look, it's us.
01:19:35Who did this?
01:19:36Oh, I did it.
01:19:37Yeah, I did it.
01:19:39I...
01:19:40You know, this whole season
01:19:42has been full of ups and downs,
01:19:43but it's really inspired me
01:19:44to get back to doing what I love.
01:19:46And you were a huge part of that.
01:19:48I don't understand.
01:19:49You've just always known
01:19:50what you wanted
01:19:51and you've gone for it
01:19:52and I truly admired that.
01:19:54And I may have gotten
01:19:55a little sidetracked,
01:19:56but I realized
01:19:57I got to get back
01:19:58to doing what I love,
01:19:59which is writing books.
01:20:00Well, thank you for this.
01:20:03And thank you
01:20:04for what you said
01:20:05when you visited the studio.
01:20:06It really helped me
01:20:07put everything into perspective.
01:20:09I could have been
01:20:10a lot nicer to you as well.
01:20:13Maybe now we can start over?
01:20:15I'd really like that.
01:20:16Yeah?
01:20:17Yeah, I'd really like that.
01:20:19And just a heads up,
01:20:22you might want to send
01:20:23some more volunteers
01:20:23to the ticket booth.
01:20:24Oh, really?
01:20:25I've been sharing
01:20:26the fun of my stories
01:20:27and the word is really spreading.
01:20:28You're about to have
01:20:29a lot more visitors
01:20:30headed your way.
01:20:31Oh, thank you.
01:20:32We're ready for them.
01:20:33Ladies and gentlemen,
01:20:34it's time for our special guest,
01:20:37Nickelback on Elm Street.
01:20:38I love Nickelback.
01:20:45Give it up for the lead singer,
01:20:47Chatty Krueger!
01:20:59I realized when I was picking out
01:21:01this Chatty Krueger outfit,
01:21:02that was the old Jared thinking.
01:21:04Now I'm thinking as your husband.
01:21:07What I really wanted was
01:21:08something for us.
01:21:11That's what this is.
01:21:12What is this?
01:21:14Step into my lair.
01:21:18Oh, look at their costumes.
01:21:28Could they be more adorable?
01:21:30No, someone surprised me
01:21:32with a couple's costume after all.
01:21:33I like this so much
01:21:34I'm not going to take it off.
01:21:35I don't think I could
01:21:36take these off if I wanted to.
01:21:38Pamela sewed my shirt
01:21:39into my pants.
01:21:40Thanks again for making
01:21:41the fundraiser happen, guys.
01:21:42They are still counting donations,
01:21:44but we have already earned
01:21:45double what we did last time.
01:21:47Yeah, bro!
01:21:48We should get some mead!
01:21:50By the way,
01:21:51a courier dropped this off.
01:21:52Today, you were busy
01:21:53with your tape measure,
01:21:54so I told him I would give it to you.
01:21:55Okay, thanks.
01:21:57What's this?
01:21:58It's Velvet.
01:22:07I got in.
01:22:09We're going to Norway!
01:22:10That is if my wife and I
01:22:15agree after an in-depth discussion.
01:22:17There you go.
01:22:17Good day!
01:22:20Santa Academy!
01:22:22Okay, but tonight's not about Santa.
01:22:24We may only have a few hours
01:22:26left to celebrate
01:22:26before Christmas takes over,
01:22:28so what do you say
01:22:30we give Halloween all we got?
01:22:32Happy Halloween!
01:22:33Happy Halloween!
01:22:35Halloween is cool!
01:22:36And thus began a new chapter
01:22:43in the story of Evergreen Lane.
01:22:45We became the annual go-to place
01:22:47for trick-or-treating,
01:22:49and the Spooky Alley fundraiser
01:22:50was a huge success.
01:22:52In order to keep the peace,
01:22:54we let Pamela and Helen
01:22:55win the costume contest.
01:22:57The excitement of my new children's book,
01:22:59along with Jared's loving support,
01:23:01gave me the confidence
01:23:02to quit my job
01:23:03and pursue writing full-time.
01:23:04I know what Graham Graham
01:23:06was trying to tell me.
01:23:08The true spirit of Halloween
01:23:09is about remembering
01:23:11the ones you love
01:23:12and having fun
01:23:13and creating memories
01:23:14with those that are still here.
01:23:16If you can remember that
01:23:17and pass the tradition
01:23:18on to the next generation,
01:23:20that spirit will never truly die.
