00:00:07For 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.
00:00:14And 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.
00:00:32There 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.
00:00:50It's something 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.
00:01:07You look spectacular.
00:01:10You really do.
00:01:13Can you believe the Johnsons won't be here?
00:01:14Hey now, no need to talk about they who have left the lane.
00:01:18And you didn't need to make him a groomsman in absentia.
00:01:21Why do you care that he's a honorary groomsman?
00:01:23You are my best man.
00:01:25That'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, it's okay.
00:01:38I'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 bee'sness, 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.
00:02:05Cheers.
00:02:07Sweetheart, it's time.
00:02:09Okay, Mom.
00:02:09Yes, dear?
00:02:10Do not call my mom dear.
00:02:13Gentlemen.
00:02:14Let's do this.
00:02:16Yeah.
00:02:40Now, everybody sit down, please.
00:02:43You look beautiful.
00:02:45Hey.
00:02:47Dearly 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.
00:03:00We were seven years old on your front porch.
00:03:02And from that day on, I've been looking forward to this day.
00:03:04As I stand in front of you today, although my knees are shaking a bit like that Polaroid picture,
00:03:11I've watched you develop into this beautiful, smart, kind woman that I get to spend the rest
00:03:22of my life with.
00:03:23I promise you I will do my best to paint a perfect picture of love and devotion together forever.
00:03:37Jared, I always knew there was something very special about you.
00:03:42And when we reconnected, everyone reminded me of what an amazing architect you are.
00:03:50And they were right.
00:03:52The way you have designed your life with loyalty for the ones you love.
00:03:56And it shows me who you really are at your core.
00:03:58You make me feel safe and supported.
00:04:03And there is no one I would rather make plans to build the rest of my life with than you.
00:04:10Emily Melrose, do you take Jared to be your lawful wedded husband?
00:04:15I do.
00:04:16Jared Farnsworth, do you take Emily to be your lawful wedded wife?
00:04:20Absolutely, without a doubt.
00:04:23I do.
00:04:24Then, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife,
00:04:29and you may now kiss the bride.
00:04:31So hold on to hold on.
00:04:35I'm so high and I'm so high.
00:04:42For the first time ever, this is Jared Farnsworth!
00:04:45Each day gets closer,
00:04:49so hold on stronger to me.
00:04:54You may be wondering why we didn't do a Christmas wedding.
00:04:57We considered it.
00:04:58But in memory of Jared's late father, we chose to do it on his parents' anniversary.
00:05:02And even though we had a fun-filled honeymoon planned,
00:05:05we were both excited to get back home and get into the spirit of the upcoming holidays.
00:05:11The only problem was, this year, we had no idea what kind of spirit it would bring.
00:05:31Ghosts and ghouls.
00:05:37Ghosts and ghouls.
00:05:47What in the same...
00:05:49Silver squad to green team?

00:06:58Oh, but I did we were still on our honeymoon. It was the best honeymoon ever. I enjoyed every second
00:07:04of you
00:07:05You know what after two weeks in Scandinavia. I am actually really excited to get back home
00:07:09I could have used one more we can
00:07:11I think I preferred it's get doing yeah
00:07:13I wonder if you'll feel the same way after we celebrate Valpergus night this spring
00:07:16I pre-booked the hotel and everything. I'm sorry what the biggest Swedish springtime festival that there is apparently it's
00:07:22not to be missed
00:07:23Honey, I love that you're a planner, but vacations are kind of something we need to plan together now. You're
00:07:29right
00:07:29You're right. I just got too excited. I'm used to planning things on my own, but now
00:07:34We're married. We make decisions together. Yeah, because you're my wife my husband
00:07:44Oh
00:07:52Wow
00:07:54What are Pamela's remodels done? Glad she liked the design. Oh, she was so happy with it. You did such
00:07:59a good job
00:07:59I wish I was as fulfilled at my job as you are
00:08:02You're literally the best writer right now copywriter. I said what I said. I mean it. Thanks, love
00:08:07I'll get back into it. I just wish we could stay in fantasy land a little bit longer
00:08:11Well, then you are in luck because like the medieval knights of the old I shall carry you over the
00:08:16threshold of our new castle
00:08:17Really not necessary. It's a sign of my love and affection for you a literal symbol that I would drop
00:08:23everything on account of your beck and call
00:08:30Jared
00:08:32Jared! Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm here. I'm here. I'm sorry. Are you okay? Are you sure?
00:08:37I'm okay. I'm fine. Oh, no, not again. It's time. No, no, no, no, Jared. Let's bring it down a
00:08:42notch
00:08:42Remember the mantra we've been working on not my weeds not my garden Emily
00:08:47You hold the mantle of the presidency this entire neighborhood is my garden now if you will
00:08:57Brought the clipboard on the honeymoon
00:09:02You rang?
00:09:06Yes, I did ring
00:09:07I wanted to introduce myself and ask you a few questions about your understanding of the HOA guidelines
00:09:13Honey, I don't think that's an actual person. I think that's a recording.
00:09:16I think you're probably right
00:09:20Sorry
00:09:22Seriously, did you guys ring?
00:09:23Hi
00:09:26Hi
00:09:27Hi, I am Jared Farnsworth, HOA president of this lovely neighborhood. This is my first counselor and head of activities
00:09:32committee Emily Melrose
00:09:34Farnsworth? Emily Farnsworth. It's my newest title. Jared and I got married last month
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?
00:09:45That would be amazing
00:09:46It would, 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
00:09:51That's nothing a little jack-o'-lantern job it won't fix
00:09:54And Marvin makes them extra strong
00:09:56Yes, I do
00:09:57That sounds amazing
00:09:58I'm sure it is, I'm sure it is
00:09:59Except that we haven't been deloused yet
00:10:01Deloused?
00:10:02Yes, but in the meantime, per your display, as detailed as it is, we are going to have to ask
00:10:06you to, you know, pair it back
00:10:08Pair it back?
00:10:10The lights and the pumpkins can stay, great touch actually, but your lawn display has to go
00:10:15Back into the crib
00:10:19As it were
00:10:19I 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, at Christmas
00:10:28We are ever green, lame, not ever screen, lame
00:10:31Ever screen, lame, I love that
00:10:33We should totally call it that
00:10:34Oh, yes
00:10:35No, don't do that
00:10:36That was just a very clever play on words for me to emphasize my point
00:10:40Which is what exactly?
00:10:42Per HOA guidelines, we, um, it, it says that section 12, I'm pretty sure it says you have too much
00:10:52Halloween
00:10:52Well, that's not what Albert told us
00:10:54And it was confirmed by Gabe
00:10:56Oh, so you met my parents
00:10:57They were the first to welcome us to the neighborhood
00:10:59So nice of you both to let them stay with you for the rest of hurricane season
00:11:03Especially right after the wedding
00:11:05Must be scoring some serious son-in-law points fair
00:11:09Well, I better be
00:11:11You know what, why don't you just excuse us, we're going to get settled
00:11:13And then we can discuss this whole in-laws and by-laws situation, does that sound okay?
00:11:17Fair is foul and foul is fair
00:11:20Just let us know
00:11:22Will do, let's go
00:11:23Good night
00:11:25So great to meet you
00:11:26I'm da-da
00:11:26Stay here
00:11:27It's a strange couple
00:11:29Indeed
00:11:35I really hope you're not mad at me
00:11:36I'm definitely not mad, Emily, I'm just a little surprised is all
00:11:39Why didn't you tell me you invited them?
00:11:41I'm so sorry, my mom asked in the middle of the wedding craziness and I just forgot, I truly am
00:11:45sorry
00:11:46But they're in the guest loft above the garage, you're never going to see them
00:11:50Don't apologize, I love your parents, I love hosting your parents, it's just
00:11:54You know, like you said, it's just me and you now, so I just want to be on the same
00:11:57page on this stuff, that's all
00:11:59Absolutely, I got your back
00:12:00And I've got yours
00:12:05Now, let's take care of this decoration situation
00:12:07All right
00:12:09Jared, what seems to be the problem?
00:12:11Oh, I don't know, Halbert, maybe the fact that we got back from the wedding of our dreams only returned
00:12:14to a nightmare
00:12:15It's just a few lawn decorations
00:12:17That's how it starts
00:12:19And this, you know, the younger generation, they're sneaking out of their bedrooms searching for the great pumpkin
00:12:22Let's not get crazy now
00:12:24I'm not
00:12:26It'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?
00:12:37But that's not entirely true
00:12:39What do you mean it's not true?
00:12:40The motion to de-escalate the other holidays was proposed and hotly debated
00:12:45But in the end, it was never voted on and therefore never passed
00:12:50What other lies have I been told?
00:12:53Nobody lied to you, Jared
00:12:54The council just decided, after what happened, maybe a vote wasn't necessary
00:13:00Everyone agreed to honor the de-escalation of Halloween out of respect
00:13:05But technically, there's no official bylaw
00:13:07What do you mean after what happened?
00:13:08Oh, honey
00:13:09Have you forgotten?
00:13:12We did all of this for you
00:13:14For me
00:13:16Maybe she blocked it out
00:13:18It was the last big Halloween we celebrated on the way
00:13:24You mean the last year with Grandma?
00:13:32Excuse me
00:13:34I'll be in the basement
00:13:36I'll be in the basement
00:13:36I'll be in the basement
00:13:37The ba...
00:13:38The ba...
00:13:39The ba...
00:13:40The ba...
00:13:40The ba...
00:13:56The ba...
00:14:01Hey, Graham-Graham.
00:14:04I'm sorry I left you down here.
00:14:07I just couldn't figure out exactly where to put you.
00:14:12Your memory lives best in my head anyway.
00:14:16I know it's not the best way to deal with things,
00:14:18but here we are, in a basement full of old memories.
00:14:23No one can bother us.
00:14:25Jiminy Christmas, you scared me.
00:14:26I'm sorry, I know how you feel about basements,
00:14:29and, well, you've been down here for, wow, 27 minutes and counting.
00:14:34It's got to be a record for me.
00:14:36Honestly, it's not that bad.
00:14:41What was that?
00:14:43Bernice.
00:14:45Yeah, I know. I still hate it down here.
00:14:50You okay?
00:14:52Yeah, I'll be fine.
00:14:54Oh.
00:14:56I think I've just been so focused on the wedding and our future that I kind of forgot about the
00:15:02past.
00:15:05Well, she was a great woman.
00:15:07Yeah, I can still hear her voice.
00:15:10Remember what she always used to say to us?
00:15:12You two belong in a storybook.
00:15:19It's Halloween, sweetie.
00:15:21What could you possibly be upset about?
00:15:23Ashlyn Ashworth and her friends just like scarecrows in her yard,
00:15:26and they totally jumped out and scared us.
00:15:29You got yard yelp, did you?
00:15:31Yep.
00:15:31Don't let them get to you.
00:15:33They were just trying to have fun.
00:15:34But I ran so fast, I spilled my candy on the way back.
00:15:38That's okay, Emily.
00:15:40I'll share mine.
00:15:41Jared, that won't be necessary.
00:15:43I'll take you two out on the golf cart.
00:15:45Awesome.
00:15:45I heard Mary Louise and Bob are giving out full-sized candy bars.
00:15:50We've got to get there before they run out.
00:15:52All in good time, my pretties.
00:15:54All 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.
00:16:06He only gives out freeze-dried elk liver.
00:16:09True.
00:16:09What else do I say about Halloween?
00:16:11It started as a day to remember those who passed away,
00:16:14even though we get to dress up and get candy from our friends and family.
00:16:19We should also remember our friends and family members that aren't with us anymore.
00:16:23And not only should we remember them, but they should be celebrated.
00:16:27But why do we dress up?
00:16:29Because it's tradition.
00:16:30And there's no better way to connect with your friends and neighbors than through age-old traditions.
00:16:36Now what do you say we get back to my favorite one of all?
00:16:39Trick-or-treating!
00:16:40Let's do it!
00:16:41All right, kids.
00:16:43Mount up!
00:16:43Woo!
00:16:44Happy Halloween!
00:16:46We got so much candy that year.
00:16:49Buckets full.
00:16:53I had no idea that'd be the last time she took us trick-or-treating.
00:16:56She was gone just two weeks later.
00:16:58That's when the neighborhood decided to take a step back.
00:17:00She was the center of the celebration with her creativity and the costumes and the decorations.
00:17:06She always inspired everybody.
00:17:07Halloween was never the same without her.
00:17:09Of course I was heartbroken when she passed, but I had no idea that's why everyone else pulled back from
00:17:13celebrating.
00:17:14And I never asked for that.
00:17:16And certainly not something Graham Graham would have wanted.
00:17:19Oh, you're right.
00:17:19She said it herself.
00:17:21Halloween is for remembering your loved ones and having a whole lot of fun.
00:17:26It's time we bring Halloween back.
00:17:28Evergreen style.
00:17:29Are you sure about this?
00:17:30No.
00:17:31I'm not sure about this.
00:17:32I'm actually scared hot to death about this.
00:17:34You know how I am.
00:17:34I don't like scary movies.
00:17:35I don't even like movies that people say aren't scary, but definitely are.
00:17:38Tell me about it.
00:17:39I've been trying to get you to finish a never-ending story for forever.
00:17:41Yeah, that's never going to happen because I hate quicksand as much as I hate scary basements.
00:17:45Noted.
00:17:45But it's time for you to wake up and face the creepy organ music.
00:17:49For the neighborhood.
00:17:51And for Grandma.
00:17:52And for you.
00:17:54Now, let's get you out of here.
00:17:58First.
00:17:58But no kissing in the creepy basement.
00:18:00Fair enough.
00:18:01Speed it up, buttercup.
00:18:03We got work to do.
00:18:06Looking good, Grandma.
00:18:09I figured I could call you that.
00:18:11I'll let him officially in the family.
00:18:13Or did you just?
00:18:13That is a good one.
00:18:14Did you just come up with that?
00:18:15That's been ripening on the vine for years.
00:18:18Don't make me put you down for now, Bob.
00:18:20When you're known for only Christmas, you don't have the opportunity to show your range.
00:18:25Most people know that I have a doctorate in arts and crafts.
00:18:29But what they don't know is that I did a study abroad in the Atacama region of North...
00:18:34Time we back up our humble president.
00:18:35And we show everyone what Halloween means to us.
00:18:38What do you say?
00:18:39Are you in?
00:18:40Yeah, I'm in.
00:18:41Ever scream on three.
00:18:42One, two, three.
00:18:43Ever scream!
00:18:46Wow.
00:18:48Look what I found.
00:18:49A portal to Pan's Labyrinth?
00:18:51My grandma's witch hat.
00:18:53Oh, there's so much great stuff up here.
00:18:56I can see why you spent so much time here.
00:18:58Wait, you've never been to my attic?
00:19:00No.
00:19:00I was never allowed.
00:19:02Apparently, I'm still trespassing.
00:19:03No boys allowed.
00:19:05Even Jawed Farnsworth.
00:19:07The spelling was atrocious.
00:19:09In your defense, that is the way I used to pronounce it.
00:19:11Well, Jared Farnsworth is very much allowed up here.
00:19:14He's not a boy.
00:19:15He's a man.
00:19:16My man.
00:19:16Mm-hmm.
00:19:19All right, we have to brainstorm how we are going to make this the best Halloween in
00:19:22years.
00:19:22We could start by selling tickets to this creepy attic.
00:19:25Come on, it's not that creepy.
00:19:28I will not be ashamed by my choice in music.
00:19:30And how do you explain the creepy typewriter from The Shining?
00:19:33That was my grandma's.
00:19:34She taught me to type on that one.
00:19:36Yeah, and that was the desk where I would sit and write all my stories.
00:19:39You know, maybe this is a message from her to get you to start writing again.
00:19:43I wish she'd sent that message to my former agent or publisher or two.
00:19:48I spent most of my 20s trying to make a career out of writing stories, but it just wasn't
00:19:53meant to be.
00:19:54Maybe it's best this chapter of my life is left up here, just a beautiful childhood memory.
00:19:59This was your dream, Em.
00:20:01Yeah, but when your dream is just collecting dust in a box, it's time to pack it up and
00:20:07move on.
00:20:09All right, we've got to get busy.
00:20:10We have an HOA meeting to plan.
00:20:12Yes.
00:20:12We have some serious bylaws to propose.
00:20:14I am going to mobilize the ladies of the activities committee, and if you could coordinate with Ned
00:20:18about a venue.
00:20:19On it.
00:20:32Oh, Jared.
00:20:39Thanks for the inspiration, Graham.
00:20:42We'll make you proud.
00:20:47All right, evergreen ladies.
00:20:48This may come as a very big surprise, but in honor of my sweet Grandma Melrose, I want
00:20:53to help bring back Halloween in a big way.
00:20:56So let's get a good old-fashioned brainstorm going on the thread.
00:20:59Traditions, old and new.
00:21:00All ideas welcome fire them off.
00:21:02And as Graham Graham would say, mount up!
00:21:08Come on, honey, let's go!
00:21:09Ned's hosting, and you know he needs a good 36-hour advance notice to de-must the place.
00:21:13Coming, sweetheart.
00:21:19I thought we agreed after the last time that we weren't going to hold the HOA meetings
00:21:22at Ned's anymore.
00:21:23I mean, he served expired military rations.
00:21:26I think we should have a potluck to go.
00:21:28Well, then we're going to need a lot of luck because Susie's funeral potatoes almost killed
00:21:32me.
00:21:32I'm impressed you've really upped your game here.
00:21:35What, is a queen coming?
00:21:36Nothing says royalty like charcuterie.
00:21:38I've got the donuts!
00:21:40Gips on the creepy cruller!
00:21:41Ned, don't push me on the pastries.
00:21:44You can't have a creepy cruller because they don't exist.
00:21:48Wait, there are only crullers?
00:21:50No donuts?
00:21:51I know how popular they are, so I made them all crullers.
00:21:54I'm sorry.
00:21:54What did you say?
00:21:55Crullers?
00:21:56I said crullers.
00:21:58That's what I thought.
00:21:58Thank you, Belinda.
00:21:59At least you won't embarrass yourself leg-wrestling Bob for one of them.
00:22:03I would have one if he let me wear my orthotic sneakers.
00:22:06It was barefoot or bust in my day.
00:22:09That's because they hadn't invented shoes yet.
00:22:11So, what's the tea, fam?
00:22:14Are the new neighbors going to show up today?
00:22:17If they do, I'm sure it'll be in a puff of smoke or on broomback.
00:22:20I swear, those two are witches.
00:22:22Have you ever heard that Luna speak?
00:22:24Every word she says sounds like she's casting a spell.
00:22:28So spooky.
00:22:28They've been invited, as per Jared, in the Prima Conventus Clause of 94.
00:22:34I've heard that Marvin is a mortgage banker by day and moonlights as an undertaker just for kicks.
00:22:41I don't know what they called them in the 19th century, but today we call them morticians.
00:22:46And where did you hear that from, anyway?
00:22:48I'll give you a hint.
00:22:50He wears a singlet for underwear and he believes that pro wrestling is real.
00:22:56If a masked man gave you the tombstone pile driver at a Waffle House outside of Galveston,
00:23:01I assure you, you would know just how real it is.
00:23:05I can see that your ongoing litigation with the undertaker hasn't been resolved.
00:23:09That doesn't mean that Marvin works in a mortuary for fun.
00:23:13Think about it.
00:23:13The initials M. Balmer.
00:23:17M. Balmer!
00:23:18What kind of a cruel joke were his parents playing?
00:23:20Worst part is, I am M. Balmer V.
00:23:23So that's five generations of being bullied in middle school.
00:23:26But no, I am not a mortician for fun or professionally.
00:23:29Just want to clear that up from the jump.
00:23:31Sorry, didn't mean to be rude.
00:23:32Not offended in the least.
00:23:33Round about the cauldron go, in the poison entrails throw.
00:23:38Not the poison entrails.
00:23:41And while we're at it, my wife is not a witch.
00:23:44Exactly what a witch would say.
00:23:46Dibs on the ruby slippers.
00:23:48Round about the cauldron go, in the poison entrails throw.
00:23:53Yes.
00:23:55Oh, I'm sorry.
00:23:57You guys must think I am crazy.
00:23:59I just got cast in Macbeth at the Castle Theatre.
00:24:01She's going to be witch number one.
00:24:02Yeah, that's sort of a dream role for me.
00:24:05Your dream role is witch number one?
00:24:07Yeah, because witch number two was already cast.
00:24:09Marvin and I are English professors at UVU and total Shakespeare buffs.
00:24:14What light through yonder window breaks.
00:24:17Tis our new neighbors and Halloween is their sun.
00:24:20I see we have a fellow Shakespearean among us.
00:24:22Just got my bard card renewed a fortnight ago.
00:24:26Huzzah!
00:24:27Here we go.
00:24:28And your lawn display is amazing, B.T. Dibs.
00:24:31An homage to the great tragedies.
00:24:34Shakespeare was the father of the modern horror genre.
00:24:36Thou speaketh truth.
00:24:38Aye, aye.
00:24:40All right, at last, I hate to break up this fun little drama camp we've got going on here,
00:24:46but this is Evergreen Lane, not the Globe Theatre.
00:24:49And our HOA president would never allow this level of theatrics.
00:24:58Ladies and gentlemen of the HOA, for the first time ever, we present...
00:25:07To your master stations!
00:25:10Move!
00:25:12Move!
00:25:15I got the crowners!
00:25:17It's pronounced cruller!
00:25:22Ladies and gentlemen, I do apologize for this late start.
00:25:26I was unaware of the potency of indoor smoke bombs.
00:25:29You could have just borrowed my Bulgarian fog condenser, but whatever.
00:25:33Noted. Thank you.
00:25:35I'm sure you're all wondering why we called this last-minute meeting.
00:25:39No, not really.
00:25:40Emily emailed us all an itinerary last night.
00:25:42Great. Well, I'm sure you're all wondering why the change of heart then.
00:25:45No, Emily sent us a very inspirational voice memo explaining everything.
00:25:51Did she now? It's great.
00:25:53Well, I guess I'm not sure what I'm doing here other than just looking pretty fly in my vintage J
00:25:56-press suit.
00:25:57You look great, babe. Do you want me to take this?
00:25:59Please, please.
00:26:00All right, everyone.
00:26:02Per addendum B, subparagraph C of the HOA handbook, the head of the activities committee
00:26:08has the right and obligation to propose and uphold traditions new and old.
00:26:13I love it when you speak by law.
00:26:15I learn from the best.
00:26:16Wow. You two really took that to-become-one homily to heart.
00:26:19Oh, thank you so much, Pamela.
00:26:20That's so sweet.
00:26:21It's a special speech.
00:26:21Okay, please stop.
00:26:22So, I took the committee's feedback.
00:26:24I ran it by Mr. President here.
00:26:26And we have decided to turn Evergreen Lane into...
00:26:33Ever-Scream Lane!
00:26:35Oh!
00:26:36We have taken the traditions of yesteryear combined with the zeitgeist of current day
00:26:41to bring this spooky season to life in a new and thrilling way.
00:26:45Whoa!
00:26:46Inspired by the boldness of the Balmers, each household will be required to create a Halloween
00:26:52lawn display to bring the spirit of this holiday to life.
00:26:55You have one week to get your displays together, or there will be consequences.
00:27:01I mean, it'll be like, you know, a citation or community service hours.
00:27:04But do not tempt me, for I have fresh citation pads.
00:27:08There will be daily activities leading up to Halloween, such as a pumpkin painting contest.
00:27:14Painting?
00:27:14Why don't we just carve those puppies?
00:27:17Because, Ned, pumpkin guts are gross.
00:27:19They're stringy.
00:27:19They're slimy.
00:27:19No.
00:27:20But it's very visceral for me.
00:27:22Okay, please, Ned.
00:27:24We don't have time for your sensory obsession.
00:27:26Touch your corduroys.
00:27:27Thank you, Pamela.
00:27:28You're going to be thrilled to know that there will be a beastly fake-off.
00:27:31Yes!
00:27:31Oh, my gosh.
00:27:34I could be Ghoulia Child.
00:27:37With spooky sweaters.
00:27:39And just how we do a toy drive at Christmas, we will be doing a charity food drive.
00:27:43But, to top it all off.
00:27:47Sorry, okay, Jared really wanted to do this part, so good.
00:27:50Thank you so much, honey.
00:27:51And to top it all off on All Hallows' Eve.
00:27:54October 31st, Halloween.
00:27:56After the tricks have been played.
00:27:58After the treats have been treated.
00:28:00We will have a cul-de-sac carnival costume competition.
00:28:05Oh, my gosh.
00:28:06So bring that creativity to life.
00:28:08Are there any rules to who we can or cannot impersonate?
00:28:13No more foreign dignitaries.
00:28:14We do not need the FBI here again.
00:28:15Yes, Ned.
00:28:16Please keep all costumes within the parameters of HOA guidelines and in accordance with state and federal laws.
00:28:21Tricky, but not impossible.
00:28:23In light of all this, we have something we'd like to propose.
00:28:26That is, if we can't invoke Addendum 3 of the party protocol.
00:28:29Oh, well, invoke away, please.
00:28:31I know you already have the food drive planned, but every year we do a big, spooky alley in our
00:28:37front yard.
00:28:37We go all out to raise money for the children's hospital.
00:28:40As a young girl, I was treated there, and they saved my life.
00:28:44So we try to do everything we can to give back.
00:28:47That's amazing.
00:28:48I mean, double the charity.
00:28:49I love it.
00:28:50I really love it.
00:28:50Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:28:53How spooky are we talking?
00:28:55Say, like a 5 or a 6 on the Nosferatu meter?
00:28:58We hit a 7.5 once.
00:29:00No.
00:29:01No.
00:29:017.5?
00:29:02But that was close to Y2K, so all sorts of things were happening.
00:29:05That won't happen again.
00:29:07I mean, it's within the public.
00:29:11I think we need to.
00:29:12I'm not opposed to it, as long as we remember this is for the kids, so we have to keep
00:29:16the scare factor to a 5 or below.
00:29:18Yeah, of course.
00:29:19Should we just take a vote?
00:29:20I think we have to.
00:29:21I mean, that's part of the Bible.
00:29:23Yeah, that settles it.
00:29:23I'll pass out some ballots, and we can decide if this neighborhood is ready to come together to face our
00:29:29biggest fears this Halloween.
00:29:31I've already faced my greatest fear, a hot yoga class taught by Ned.
00:29:35It's free on Thursdays.
00:29:37Oh, it might be free, but you will pay dearly.
00:29:40Trust me.
00:29:41Now take me off your MailChimp.
00:29:49Halloween is back, baby.
00:29:50Okay.
00:29:51I hope pumpkin spiced your latte.
00:29:53I'm just so excited.
00:29:54The vote was unanimous.
00:29:57Everyone loved my Halloween plans.
00:29:58And then our new neighbors had this amazing idea to do this outdoor spooky alley, and it's going to raise
00:30:02money for the children's hospital.
00:30:04First lady of Ever Scream Lane.
00:30:05You're really taking charge, carving up the HOA handbook.
00:30:09How's Jared doing with all this?
00:30:10At first, it was really hard for him to transition his mind to a new holiday.
00:30:14Kind of like he's cheating on Christmas.
00:30:15Right.
00:30:16But now that he's in it, he's doubling down.
00:30:18It's like Kevin in K-pop.
00:30:19This is new.
00:30:20I played one song for him.
00:30:21One time, he totally made fun of me.
00:30:23The next day, it was all he was listening to.
00:30:25He's basically made it his whole personality.
00:30:26Same thing with Jared.
00:30:27He's been driving all the way to Provo to go to this tailor-made costume store almost every day.
00:30:32You are in it.
00:30:33We are, but it is just a lot to balance with work.
00:30:35I feel like I'm kind of just going through the motions.
00:30:38I mean, I'm doing a good job, but it's just, it's not fulfilling.
00:30:41Welcome to most of America.
00:30:43I think it's just, you know, the wedding and the honeymoon.
00:30:45It was so perfect, I just wanted to relive it.
00:30:47Well, the honeymoon phase is great, but the real joy of marriage is the journey that lies ahead.
00:30:53I love that.
00:30:54Speaking of, I have to get that little journey to piano lessons.
00:30:58Hey, honey, you want to wrap up that book you're reading?
00:31:00We got to get going.
00:31:00All done.
00:31:01I finished the whole series, actually.
00:31:03Do you have any more?
00:31:04Oh, I didn't even realize Jared had brought that box down from the attic.
00:31:08No, I only wrote the seven.
00:31:10Seven?
00:31:11How come I only knew about one?
00:31:12After my agent didn't get any bites on the first one,
00:31:15she dropped me like a T-Swift album.
00:31:17Didn't really make sense to continue.
00:31:19I really like the different aliens.
00:31:21Zolt is so funny.
00:31:22Really?
00:31:23What was your favorite part?
00:31:24Probably when the hover wagon was broken,
00:31:26and Zolt was the only one who could fix it
00:31:28because of the combo wrench his dad gave him.
00:31:30Wow.
00:31:31He really did read it.
00:31:32Yep.
00:31:33Let me know if you write any more.
00:31:35Thanks, Nicole.
00:31:36I will.
00:31:50Oh, cute costume.
00:31:52You look adorable.
00:31:55You look adorable.
00:31:57You shall not pass!
00:32:03Lie, you fools.
00:32:05Boo!
00:32:05What are you doing here?
00:32:08I've been trying to ask you the same question,
00:32:09but someone I know doesn't answer their phone for the last two hours.
00:32:12I'm sorry.
00:32:12The store's a bit of a dead zone.
00:32:14Didn't you see the sign?
00:32:16Jared, that says undead zone.
00:32:18It's just a clever sign to sell zombie paraphernalia.
00:32:21I love this store.
00:32:22Clearly, you've been coming here every day
00:32:24since we jumped on this haunted hayride.
00:32:26I just want to feel inspired.
00:32:27You know, we have a costume contest coming up.
00:32:29No, no, no.
00:32:30We're doing Phantom of the Opera.
00:32:31We're singing the duet.
00:32:31Yeah, um, I wanted to talk to you about that.
00:32:35Jared, you know I don't do harmony.
00:32:36What if I did the contest alone?
00:32:43Oh.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:45Is that fine?
00:32:46Yeah, I mean, I don't know what to say, but...
00:32:49Honest reaction.
00:32:50Go.
00:32:52It's fine.
00:32:52Of course it's fine.
00:32:53Yeah, we have been doing a lot of stuff together lately,
00:32:55and maybe we should do some things on our own.
00:32:59Okay.
00:33:00So you're not annoyed?
00:33:01I'm only annoyed that now I have to figure out what I'm doing.
00:33:03Whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to be epic.
00:33:06Speaking of epic, we should discuss law on display ASAP.
00:33:09Now, what are you thinking?
00:33:11Evil battling robots?
00:33:12Zombie apocalypse?
00:33:13No, no, no.
00:33:14This is what I wanted to tell you.
00:33:16I think I have found the perfect thing.
00:33:23I'm confused.
00:33:24I thought we were working on the lawn display.
00:33:25Look around.
00:33:26What does this remind you of?
00:33:28Mainly the fact that I missed lunch, and I'm starving,
00:33:30and I want to eat the entire store.
00:33:31No, think about it.
00:33:32Last Halloween with Grandma.
00:33:35Hansel and Gretel.
00:33:36The Witch's Gingerbread House.
00:33:38What's more Halloween than Grimm's fairy tale?
00:33:40And it's the perfect way to honor Grandma.
00:33:42I'm going to get to work on the blueprints immediately.
00:33:44We don't have time for blueprints.
00:33:45Once we build the Witch's House,
00:33:46it'll be the perfect hiding spot for yard yelping.
00:33:48Jared.
00:33:49Yes?
00:33:49No.
00:33:50I didn't think you were into yard yelping.
00:33:52I'm not.
00:33:54I'm not.
00:33:57But if I was,
00:33:58I would be like the Daniel Day-Lewis of it.
00:34:01You know I hate when people do that.
00:34:03Ashlyn Ashford still haunts my dreams 20 years later.
00:34:07I could see her in that scarecrow makeup.
00:34:09She's lurking about.
00:34:10Oh, it's horrible.
00:34:11Horrible.
00:34:12Well, then why would you vote to protect yard yelping
00:34:15on the new HOA protocol?
00:34:16Because like it or not, it is a tradition.
00:34:18And traditions are important.
00:34:20But that's why I added the regulation to reduce the scare factor.
00:34:23That way, Everscreen Lane is a Halloween destination for all, young and old.
00:34:27So impressive.
00:34:27I just really want this to be next level.
00:34:29And it's going to be.
00:34:30Everyone can see it.
00:34:32Thanks.
00:34:34You know, though, speaking of Ashlyn, doesn't she host Wake Up Utah on Channel 6?
00:34:38Yes.
00:34:39Her mom and mine stayed friends after they moved.
00:34:42She mentions it every time she's on TV.
00:34:45Do you think she could put me in contact with her?
00:34:46Maybe they could do a story about what we're up to this year.
00:34:49Sure, but aren't you guys, like, frenemies?
00:34:52I mean, we were, but maybe it was a long time ago.
00:34:55And if it could help bring people to the carnival, that would be great.
00:34:58I mean, our neighborhood isn't exactly known as a Halloween destination.
00:35:01So if we want to raise some serious money for Children's Hospital, I do think it's worth
00:35:05a try.
00:35:06I like where your head's at.
00:35:07Cheers.
00:35:08Where's your stomach at?
00:35:08Because I'm starving.
00:35:09Excuse me.
00:35:10Can we get a dozen patries to go?
00:35:12And one of those German chocolate cookies and, uh, oh, threw in two honeyboys in the...
00:35:16Excuse me.
00:35:18Could I see this, please?
00:35:19Orange.
00:35:20Ooh, they clear.
00:35:21Two, they clear.
00:35:28Careful, Bob.
00:35:29I don't want to fall down.
00:35:30He's a werewolf.
00:35:31Why would he be wearing a ball gown?
00:35:33Let's judge this guy up.
00:35:35Careful, that could be flammable.
00:35:36Trust me, I know.
00:35:41Garrett, slow down.
00:35:42Looking good, Belinda.
00:35:43Thanks, Boo.
00:35:46Did you just call Ned your boo?
00:35:48No, I was just trying to scare him.
00:35:51Boo, did I scare you?
00:35:52Right out of my socks, girl.
00:35:55Hey, Jared, help me put the nails in my coffin.
00:35:59Gladly.
00:36:08Smile, you two.
00:36:10Oh, what a couple of handsomes you are.
00:36:13Ah!
00:36:14Oh, my goodness.
00:36:15Oh, you're crumb.
00:36:17You need some ice on this.
00:36:19Jared, a little help?
00:36:21Yeah, I got you.
00:36:21What do you clowns think you're doing?
00:36:23Oh, thank you.
00:36:25Jared, it has been a real circus around here with these guys.
00:36:28I swear, one of them is possessed.
00:36:31You know, clowns freak a lot of people out, but not me.
00:36:34I actually kind of like them.
00:36:36Well, you are braver than I am.
00:36:38You know, I'm going to try to get these guys set up over there.
00:36:40I mean, you've been working out.
00:36:41Could you get that big clown stood up?
00:36:43Of course.
00:36:44Anything, of course, Pamela.
00:36:45Sure.
00:36:50You just got yard-yelped.
00:36:53Hard!
00:36:54You did, Jared.
00:36:56You got me, Helen.
00:36:57You got me good.
00:36:58I thought you said clowns didn't scare you.
00:37:01Hope we didn't scare you too bad.
00:37:03Don't you ever apologize for a well-executed prank.
00:37:06Jared is a big boy.
00:37:08He can handle it.
00:37:09That's right.
00:37:10Oh, look.
00:37:10Ned and Melinda are trying to prank you, too.
00:37:14Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
00:37:17Oh, my gosh.
00:37:19Jared?
00:37:19Jared, are you okay?
00:37:21What's happening to him, Mom?
00:37:22I don't know, sweetie.
00:37:23Just go inside.
00:37:25Yes, dear.
00:37:26Whatever.
00:37:27Looking good, Melinda.
00:37:29Thanks, boo.
00:37:30Oh, I'm sorry.
00:37:31Oh, here we go.
00:37:33Oh.
00:37:33Is that better?
00:37:35Yeah, that's better.
00:37:37Jared, are you okay?
00:37:42I've seen that people.
00:37:45Jared, don't do anything crazy.
00:37:55Emily!
00:37:56Emily?
00:37:59Emily, where are you?
00:38:00I'm in the kitchen.
00:38:02Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:38:05Is everything okay?
00:38:06No!
00:38:06It's not okay.
00:38:07We are, in fact, in a worst-case scenario scenario.
00:38:10Did you get rejected from the Santa Academy?
00:38:12What, did you hear something?
00:38:12No!
00:38:13It's worse than that!
00:38:13How is that even possible?
00:38:14It's Ned.
00:38:15Did he steal your devil sticks?
00:38:16What?
00:38:17No.
00:38:17Where are those, by the way?
00:38:18It's so odd.
00:38:19Maybe they'll show up.
00:38:20It's so bad, I don't even want to say it out loud.
00:38:22Okay, is he going through, like, a flat-earth phase again?
00:38:23It's worse than that!
00:38:24Okay, you're killing me, Small.
00:38:25Spit it out!
00:38:26Ned is dating my mom!
00:38:31Oh, no.
00:38:36I don't care what he says, I refuse to call him Dad.
00:38:39You might be getting ahead of yourself here.
00:38:40You don't know how serious it is yet.
00:38:42Whatever it was, it definitely was not in the friend zone.
00:38:45Do they know that you saw them flirting?
00:38:46No, and I'll never say a word, because I want it raced from my memory.
00:38:50Every time I close my eyes, I can just see the way they were looking at each other.
00:38:53Just focused and intense, like there was no one else in the cul-de-sac.
00:38:57Actually, sounds kind of sweet.
00:38:58The man pours Peck O'Brien in his shredded wheat.
00:39:01There's nothing sweet about him.
00:39:06I have to tell Pamela not to tell anyone.
00:39:07She saw two?
00:39:08Is that bad?
00:39:09That's not good.
00:39:10Is she going to tell everyone?
00:39:11I mean, that tea's probably too hot for her not to spill.
00:39:13We have to stop this.
00:39:14I get that you're upset, but you've got to remember they're adults, and Ned is...
00:39:16Ned, and maybe that's what your mom wants.
00:39:18Or maybe she's onto a spell.
00:39:20Didn't you say that he studied hypnosis in, uh, in Vienna?
00:39:23Jared, you have to talk to her.
00:39:25Ask her how she's feeling.
00:39:26She's obviously worried, and that's why she's hiding it from you.
00:39:29So tell her it's safe for her to talk to you about it.
00:39:32At this point, I don't know if it is.
00:39:34Great.
00:39:34Okay, why don't you just take a breath?
00:39:36I can go work on the gingerbread house.
00:39:37I'm sure there's some gumdrops that need to be gummed, or some candy that needs to be caned.
00:39:40What?
00:39:41There's no candy canes at Halloween.
00:39:43Jared, just eat your pie.
00:39:45For you, I will.
00:39:46Needs more sprinkles.
00:39:48That looks good.
00:39:50When did you do this?
00:39:52I've been wrapped up with all this Ned knot since I even noticed this.
00:39:55What are you doing over here?
00:39:56Jess was over here with Nicole the other day, and she read all of those books that you
00:40:00had brought down from the attic, and she really loved them, and it just kind of inspired me
00:40:04to pick it up again.
00:40:04You totally should.
00:40:05It's very casual.
00:40:06Just the neighborhood had inspired an idea, and it just, you know, just started sketching
00:40:10some things out.
00:40:11Sketch away, my love.
00:40:12Looks great.
00:40:13You're so talented.
00:40:15I love you.
00:40:17Oh, oh my goodness.
00:40:18Ashlyn texted me back.
00:40:20Oh, nice.
00:40:20What'd she say?
00:40:21The Channel 6 News is coming to Everscreen Lane.
00:40:24What?
00:40:28I'm going to text the girls.
00:40:36What happened there, Graham?
00:40:38How'd you go all ski-wampus on me again?
00:40:43Yeah.
00:40:47Everything's looking really good around here, and I'm writing again.
00:40:55I mean, I'm not getting too excited just because of what happened last time, but I am having
00:41:00so much fun, and that's enough for me right now.
00:41:03Anyway, it's turning into the picture-perfect holiday, and it just feels like everything's
00:41:09come full circle.
00:41:13I only wish you were here to see it.
00:41:17Love you.
00:41:18Good night.
00:41:26I'm Ashlyn Ashworth, and welcome to Wake Up Utah.
00:41:29We are here on Evergreen Lane, or should I say Ever-Scream Lane, a neighborhood that
00:41:34is usually known for Christmas has traded its cheer for fear this spooky season.
00:41:40When we come back, we will join them as they kick off the much-anticipated neighborhood pumpkin
00:41:45painting contest, a tradition that has been squashed for over 25 years.
00:41:51I nailed that, right?
00:41:53Hey, is it a bad time?
00:41:54No, not at all.
00:41:55We're on commercial.
00:41:56It is great to see you, Emily.
00:41:58Good to see you, too.
00:41:58Thank you so much for coming.
00:42:00Oh, are you serious?
00:42:01I had to see this for myself.
00:42:02I still can't believe that you're behind all of this.
00:42:05We used to live here.
00:42:05You know how festive we get.
00:42:06For Christmas, sure.
00:42:08But ever since you got so scared by my scarecrow prank, this entire neighborhood turned into
00:42:13a ghost town on Halloween, remember?
00:42:15Oh, that is good.
00:42:16Hey, write that down.
00:42:17Oh, I remember, and so does my therapist, trust me.
00:42:20Come on, it wasn't that bad.
00:42:22I mean, your friend Jeremy was there, and he didn't seem too scared.
00:42:25Jared.
00:42:25Who?
00:42:26Me.
00:42:27Jared Farnsworth.
00:42:27Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:42:29I meet a lot of people.
00:42:30No, no, it's okay.
00:42:31I was with her the night that you yard-yelped us.
00:42:34Dress is handsome.
00:42:35You know, we were in Miss Thornock's homeroom together.
00:42:37Super skinny legs.
00:42:38Always wanted to play the MASH game with us.
00:42:40Super nerdy.
00:42:41That's fun to hear.
00:42:41Oh, yeah.
00:42:42Big, dorky glasses.
00:42:44And he would always rig the MASH game to end up with you.
00:42:46I was like, hello?
00:42:47Oh, well, I guess he got his wish, because we got married last month.
00:42:52That's amazing.
00:42:54Seriously, congrats, you two.
00:42:55And thank you so much for doing this segment.
00:42:57It's really exciting.
00:42:59Yeah, as HOA president, we really appreciate the exposure to show how far we've come since
00:43:03we celebrated Halloween on this level.
00:43:05Of course.
00:43:06Do you want me to interview you two?
00:43:07No.
00:43:09I just was thinking we should keep it about the neighbor, you know?
00:43:11Totally.
00:43:12Okay, well, we're about to be back, so I can catch up with you guys later.
00:43:15Yeah, girl, do your thing.
00:43:17Okay.
00:43:18Ty, let's move.
00:43:19Let's go get more coverage.
00:43:21Do your thing, girl?
00:43:22What was that?
00:43:23I don't know.
00:43:23I mean, I get around her and I turn into plastic.
00:43:25That is the least of my concerns right now.
00:43:27I mean, look, Ned is at the table with my mom.
00:43:29They're on a team.
00:43:30Relax.
00:43:31How am I supposed to relax?
00:43:32It's Ned.
00:43:33And how do you feel about the Halloween traditions coming back to life?
00:43:36It's simply gorgeous.
00:43:38Did you see what I did there?
00:43:40Gord, gorgeous.
00:43:42That is a good one.
00:43:43Did you just come up with that?
00:43:44That's been ripening on the vine for years.
00:43:47Don't make me put you done for now, Bob.
00:43:49When you're known for only Christmas, you don't have the opportunity to show your range.
00:43:53Most people know that I have a doctorate in arts and crafts.
00:43:57But what they don't know is that I did a study abroad in the Atacama region of northern Chile,
00:44:03which is the pumpkin capital of South America.
00:44:06Basically, I have forgotten more about these babies than most people will learn in a lifetime.
00:44:11I'm about to P.H. destroy the competition, if you know what I mean.
00:44:16Do you know what I mean?
00:44:17I think I do.
00:44:18How would you describe your neighbors?
00:44:20Intense.
00:44:21In a good way.
00:44:21Like Benedict from Much Ado About Nothing.
00:44:24I'd say a little more like Catherine from Taming of the Truth.
00:44:26She's more like Rosalind.
00:44:27Well, no, I mean, I know you love Rosalind.
00:44:29Might as well talk about Tartuffe.
00:44:30I'm excited to use the pointillism technique my mom taught me.
00:44:33I think it really captures the essence of the holiday without being too on the nose.
00:44:37I've gone for more of a cubist approach,
00:44:39using shapes to really represent the surreal nature of what Halloween represents.
00:44:43Look at those couple goals.
00:44:45Adorable.
00:44:45I can't even enjoy this right now.
00:44:46I'm far too upset.
00:44:47Honey, I want you to try to stay calm.
00:44:49Like it the wise.
00:44:51Like it the wise.
00:44:52That's something you only say in your extreme duress.
00:44:54Deep breaths.
00:44:55Ty, for this one, I'd love to get a nice in-camera zoom.
00:44:58As you can see, not everyone dressed up for the painting contest.
00:45:03I guess some of us just care more.
00:45:07Now, Ty, go white.
00:45:08Go white.
00:45:12Paint with us.
00:45:15Fun fact, the first jack-o'-lanterns were made from turnips.
00:45:20Or large potatoes.
00:45:21It stemmed from the Celtic Samhain festival in Ireland.
00:45:24Which some people pronounce Samhain.
00:45:26Yeah.
00:45:27They were believed to ward off evil spirits lurking about.
00:45:32But today, there's a much more jocular meaning to it.
00:45:36And dare I say, romantic.
00:45:38Oh, romantic in what way?
00:45:40Take our pumpkins, for example.
00:45:43Oh, Romeo and Juliet.
00:45:45Correct.
00:45:45We are nearing noontide.
00:45:47So the lighting is not correct for this.
00:45:50But could you imagine what this street would look like at night?
00:45:55And with these pumpkins carved and lit, as they should have been done, come eventide.
00:46:02These star-crossed lovers will surely light up the autumnal sky.
00:46:09Oh, dear.
00:46:10Edgar James Broadhead.
00:46:13Step away from my mama.
00:46:16I most certainly will not.
00:46:20Jared, sweetie, you know what?
00:46:21Let's just take a minute and talk about this.
00:46:24That's a great idea, Belinda.
00:46:25You know what?
00:46:25Why don't we turn off the cameras for a second and we can discuss this.
00:46:28How long has this been going on?
00:46:30Well, I can't speak for the lady, but as for me, two Christmases ago, the night you first
00:46:35took the throne in Santa's village.
00:46:37Betrayed.
00:46:38And in my own kingdom, I will not allow you to defame the Farnsworth's name with your unwelcomed
00:46:45advances.
00:46:46They are more than welcome.
00:46:47Thank you very much.
00:46:49Is that true?
00:46:51Truer than true north.
00:46:53More absolute than absolute zero.
00:47:01There you have it, folks.
00:47:03True love right here on live TV.
00:47:15And just like that, HOA President Jared Barnsworth smashes a jack-o-lantern of love, begging the
00:47:23question, should this neighborhood actually be called ever Mean Lane?
00:47:29That's enough, Ashland.
00:47:30Back to you, Ted.
00:47:32Back to you, Ted.
00:47:36As a childhood resident of the lane, I know from experience how firm of a grip the homeowners
00:47:42association has on its residents.
00:47:44The intensity is simply too much for some, including my parents.
00:47:49When asked, HOA President Jared Barnsworth refused to make a statement, but his actions
00:47:54spoke much more than words.
00:47:57Down!
00:47:58Down!
00:47:58Down!
00:47:59Down!
00:48:24Oh!
00:48:24I'm so sorry you had to see that.
00:48:25I thought it was kind of exciting, actually.
00:48:27Ned Broadhead is dating my mother.
00:48:29Do you understand the implications behind that type of betrayal?
00:48:33And you expect me to be concerned with anything else right now?
00:48:35I mean, I don't know.
00:48:36Left from right, up from down, I don't know.
00:48:37Diagnos right now.
00:48:38I mean, the man who lived next door to me, my best man.
00:48:41And the woman that gave birth to me, she gave birth to me.
00:48:45She did.
00:48:45I mean, I don't know what's happening right now.
00:48:47I'm so confused.
00:48:48Wait, let's just put a hold on the existential crisis until we hear what it is you have to
00:48:51do to make this right.
00:48:52And I just hope they don't strip you of your presidential powers.
00:48:55They can do that?
00:48:56It's in the hands of the triumvirate of truth.
00:48:59Is that from Star Wars?
00:49:00Oh, don't let the name fool you.
00:49:01It's just Mary Louise, Pam, and Bob.
00:49:02They meet at Swigalicious and Sugarhouse.
00:49:04Don't belittle the system.
00:49:05These are time-proven protocols, emergency measures to bring balance to the bylaws.
00:49:10Star Wars.
00:49:11Who can forget the great Hayfield-McAvoy debate of 91?
00:49:14When a power grid dispute almost canceled Christmas.
00:49:18But lo, two humble HOA members stepped into the breach and created the Magna Carta of merriment.
00:49:25Are you saying all this because you and I invented it?
00:49:27Can't I just be proud of our work?
00:49:29Yes, but you don't make us sound humble.
00:49:30Humble-schmumble, that's not a nice accusation.
00:49:33Can we please make a good impression on the new neighbors?
00:49:36Honey, do you think you'll ever forgive me?
00:49:39It's not my forgiveness you need right now.
00:49:59The Triumvirate of Truth has reached a decision.
00:50:02Do what must be done.
00:50:05Jared Farnsworth, you have been charged with destruction of personal property and projecting
00:50:11a pumpkin in a pedestrian perimeter.
00:50:13Not only did this impact the cleanliness of our curbs, but it brought negative news coverage
00:50:18to the neighborhood, which in turn plummeted the projected property values by approximately
00:50:22three percent.
00:50:24Hold my soda.
00:50:26We know Ned to be neurotic, and now is known to be necking with your next of kin.
00:50:32However, we have reviewed the reasoning for your revolt, and although we find the target
00:50:38of your treason to be tyrannical, it cannot be tolerated.
00:50:42In order to be forgiven, you must fulfill the following.
00:50:47I don't read Kirstie very well.
00:50:49I'm sorry, Bob.
00:50:50I don't know hieroglyphics.
00:50:53I'll paraphrase.
00:50:55Your powers will be temporarily suspended and given to Emily.
00:50:59Until you make things right.
00:51:01Emotions are running really high right now, and we think you need to sit down with Ned
00:51:05and talk it over, man to man.
00:51:07You ruined it, Bob.
00:51:08You took away all of my alliteration and flair.
00:51:10I got you, girl.
00:51:12Basically, you better buy the old buck a beer.
00:51:15I accept the triumvirate's decision.
00:51:20I'm sorry.
00:51:21Hold on.
00:51:22Look, I'm all for you making good with Ned.
00:51:24I mean, you can go out on your mandate.
00:51:25You can bro it up all you want.
00:51:27But as your interim president, I have a mandate of my own.
00:51:31Anything?
00:51:32Before you go out with your bro, I think Belinda deserves a one-on-one conversation of her own.
00:51:38Don't you?
00:51:39I concur, Madam President.
00:51:41I'm so embarrassed.
00:51:42We had so much soda.
00:51:44I can't believe that we never thought of her.
00:51:46I blame the firm psychological grip of the patriarchy.
00:51:49My bad.
00:51:50It's okay.
00:51:51I've got my traveling quill.
00:51:52All right?
00:51:53I'll just add this to the bottom of the parchment.
00:51:56Okay?
00:51:56Men, do not tell book club about this.
00:52:01Hmm.
00:52:02Yum.
00:52:16Pink marink?
00:52:17Oh, yes.
00:52:19You're delicious.
00:52:21You know, you didn't have to spring for the Queen Victoria package.
00:52:24I know.
00:52:26I wanted to.
00:52:28I know you've always wanted to have tea with a daughter, but, you know, there are no rules
00:52:31about having it with a son.
00:52:33I appreciate it.
00:52:35But it's me.
00:52:36We can just talk.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:42Then I will start by apologizing.
00:52:45Emily reminded me that we're all adults here, and I sure wasn't acting like one.
00:52:51Neither did I.
00:52:52I could have told you.
00:52:54I should have told you when I first started catching feelings, but it took me a while to
00:52:59realize what was happening.
00:53:09I don't know how to define it exactly, but according to Mary Louise, the kids would
00:53:16say, we're talking.
00:53:17Talking?
00:53:18What does that mean?
00:53:20First of all, how does an 80-year-old woman know what the lingo is?
00:53:27Mom, the real question is, are you happy?
00:53:31I find myself smiling every day.
00:53:33That Ned is a real Rizzler.
00:53:37Rizzler?
00:53:37Mm-hmm.
00:53:38Love that for you.
00:53:40I think.
00:53:40Your father's been gone for so long that I kind of forgot what it felt like to be seen
00:53:45in that way.
00:53:46And I never expected to feel that way about Ned, but something about him has changed,
00:53:52and I love the way his eyes light up when he sees me or when he listens to me talk.
00:53:59And I know he's one tall glass of some self-distilled spirit.
00:54:04But he gets me, and oh, when he kisses me...
00:54:08Oh, you can stop there.
00:54:09I get the picture.
00:54:11Oh, boy.
00:54:13I think it just caught me by surprise.
00:54:16You know, Ned and I haven't always gotten along, and he's the strangest man I've ever met.
00:54:24But you know I love the guy.
00:54:25I know you do.
00:54:27And honestly, it's still early with us.
00:54:29I don't know what's going to happen, but it means so much to me to know that I have your
00:54:34support.
00:54:34Absolutely.
00:54:36I love you, son.
00:54:37I love you, too.
00:54:39But if you call Ned the Rizzler ever again, I'm going to change my mind.
00:54:48So when did you first know?
00:54:52Christmas Eve, the year Emily came back.
00:54:56Your mother joined me outside for a mug of hot bourbon cider.
00:55:01It was so dark, I could just see the moon on her hair.
00:55:06And we started talking about our favorite stars.
00:55:11You know, I could not narrow it down to one star, but I do have a favorite nebula.
00:55:15Of course, because everyone knows that.
00:55:17So I was born...
00:55:19May 1st.
00:55:21Yes, which makes me a...
00:55:23Please land your plane.
00:55:24A Taurus.
00:55:25Taurus.
00:55:28Which means my favorite is going to be the Crab Nebula, otherwise known as NGC 1952.
00:55:35Sure, everyone knows that.
00:55:37Yes, but what I didn't know was your mother's favorite star is...
00:55:42Australia.
00:55:43North star.
00:55:44You didn't know that at all.
00:55:46I literally named the only star I could think of.
00:55:49It's okay, not all of us are astrophiles.
00:55:51But those of us who are know that it is located in the constellation of Taurus.
00:55:57And then your mother tells me that Australia is really a very famous Greek nymph.
00:56:04How about I stop you right there?
00:56:05It's going to be enough mythology for one evening.
00:56:08No, really, you should Google the story and read it later.
00:56:10It's a scorcher.
00:56:12I promise you I will not.
00:56:14Okay.
00:56:14But do you want to ask you a favor?
00:56:17Yes, sir.
00:56:17First, never use nymph and my mother in the same sentence ever again.
00:56:23That's a big ask.
00:56:24I'm asking.
00:56:25I'm going to try.
00:56:26Try really, really hard.
00:56:28Yes, sir.
00:56:29Also, please treat her well.
00:56:34And please be honest with her.
00:56:38I swear I'm the stars.
00:56:39And you watch out for yourself too, Broadhead.
00:56:42You hear me?
00:56:43Okay.
00:56:43If she breaks your heart, don't come crying to me.
00:56:45The game of love is high risk, high reward.
00:56:49I know what I'm playing.
00:56:51I swear.
00:56:53They're risking it all.
00:57:01Do you want to play some pool?
00:57:02I'll play billiards.
00:57:03You can call it whatever you want.
00:57:05You're going to hell, Broadhead.
00:57:06Yeah.
00:57:07Sure.
00:57:14Hey, babe.
00:57:15Why are you sitting up?
00:57:16I had an idea and it just keeps flowing.
00:57:19I couldn't sleep.
00:57:20How'd it go with Ned and Belinda?
00:57:32Well, that good, huh?
00:57:35Not my weeds.
00:57:36Not my carton.
00:57:37Well said.
00:57:41I'm about to head to bed, but should I wait up for you?
00:57:44No, I'm almost done here.
00:57:46I was hoping maybe we could snuggle and watch a movie.
00:57:49I think I'm going to make that happen.
00:57:51Do not drop me, please.
00:57:53Why would I drop you?
00:57:55What are you talking about?
00:57:59So by watch a movie, do you mean start a movie and then in 15 minutes you'll be asleep in
00:58:05my arm?
00:58:05Yeah, but first we could flirt a little, you know, laugh and cuddle while we try to find something to
00:58:11watch.
00:58:11That actually sounds amazing.
00:58:15It's my favorite thing in the whole world.
00:58:19You know, the more I think about the Ashlyn situation, the more I feel like maybe I should reach out
00:58:24and just try and clear the air.
00:58:28It was me who embarrassed myself on regional TV.
00:58:31No, honey, I'm not talking about Pumpkin Gate.
00:58:34No.
00:58:35Something she said on the broadcast.
00:58:38Like maybe her family felt like they were pushed out of the neighborhood.
00:58:44I mean, I know I can't change anything, but I just would really love to extend a peace offering, you
00:58:50know?
00:58:51I mean, we're adults.
00:58:52We shouldn't be, we shouldn't have this like weirdness from our childhood between us.
00:58:59Well, if that's the way you feel, I think you should definitely reach out.
00:59:03Thanks, honey.
00:59:04Mm-hmm.
00:59:05Isn't it so nice to have someone you can say anything to at any time?
00:59:15That is the best definition of marriage I've ever heard.
00:59:26Hey, thanks so much for agreeing to meet me.
00:59:28Oh, of course.
00:59:29I'm sorry I don't have more time.
00:59:30I have just been so busy with the tapings and keeping up with my followers.
00:59:34I've recorded seven cameos this week.
00:59:36Oh my goodness, I'm going to make it quick.
00:59:38I, um...
00:59:39Don't worry about Mikayla.
00:59:40She has heard it all.
00:59:41She is a bolt.
00:59:43I just wanted to apologize for when we were younger.
00:59:46I was the one that scared you, remember?
00:59:48I know, but what I really mean is after that.
00:59:51I know the neighbors went into overdrive trying to protect me after my grandmother passed
00:59:55and after the whole scarecrow thing,
00:59:56and I just really hope that's not the reason your family decided to move away.
01:00:01And after you moved, I thought you were angry at me.
01:00:03I really did.
01:00:04I thought you were mad,
01:00:05and I should have talked to you about it right then and there,
01:00:07and instead I put up this wall,
01:00:08and it wasn't because I didn't like you.
01:00:10It was actually quite the opposite.
01:00:12Come on, Emily.
01:00:13You nicknamed me Schlin Shady.
01:00:14And that was totally unfair.
01:00:16I mean, how were you supposed to know
01:00:16that I was going to ask Buzz Oki to Sadie's?
01:00:18Everyone wanted to ask Buzz.
01:00:20Ah, blue-eyed Buzz.
01:00:21The truth is, you were so cool and popular,
01:00:23and I just loved what you did with the school announcements.
01:00:25You never told me that.
01:00:26Well, I should have.
01:00:27They were clever and funny,
01:00:28and everyone loved them.
01:00:30And I mean, look.
01:00:30Look where you are now.
01:00:32Secretly, I kind of always wanted to volunteer
01:00:33to write the copy for the teleprompter.
01:00:35Why didn't you say anything?
01:00:36I just never had the courage.
01:00:38And I was embarrassed
01:00:39about how things ended between us when you moved.
01:00:43I just want to say I'm sorry
01:00:44that I let my own insecurities come between
01:00:46what could have been a really cool friendship.
01:00:49We need Ashlyn and Studio C, ASAP.
01:00:52I'm so sorry.
01:00:53I have to run.
01:00:54It's okay.
01:00:55Talk later?
01:00:55Yeah, of course.
01:00:56Go, go, go.
01:00:57Oh, uh, here's a headshot.
01:01:00For free.
01:01:01Oh, thank you.
01:01:01I'll see you soon.
01:01:04That went well.
01:01:07I can't believe you confronted
01:01:08the great and powerful Ashlyn.
01:01:10You've been bugging me for years.
01:01:11It felt so good to get it off my chest.
01:01:13I mean, she didn't give me much of a reaction,
01:01:14but that's okay.
01:01:15It was worth it.
01:01:16I've got to say,
01:01:17I'm proud of you on so many levels.
01:01:18Oh, thank you.
01:01:19Also, I think you're really onto something this year.
01:01:21Those spider doodles look amazing.
01:01:22They taste great, too.
01:01:24I had three of them when Mom wasn't looking.
01:01:26You're going to call Marie.
01:01:27You're going to make yourself sick.
01:01:28Come on, it's Halloween.
01:01:29Isn't that the point?
01:01:30Well, fine.
01:01:31At least give me a bite, then.
01:01:33Mmm.
01:01:34Those are amazing.
01:01:36I'm so glad.
01:01:37But save some room for Pamela's,
01:01:39because, you know,
01:01:39she is a shoo-in to win the contest.
01:01:41No secret there.
01:01:42I don't know.
01:01:42I'm pretty much of a cookie expert at this point.
01:01:45I think you have a chance.
01:01:48Thanks.
01:01:48I mean, we'll see.
01:01:49I just do feel like the creative juices have been flowing,
01:01:51you know, since I started writing again.
01:01:53I don't know.
01:01:54Maybe some of that energy has been absorbed into the baking as well.
01:01:57I was going to say,
01:01:57there's something different about you.
01:01:59I thought it was the honeymoon glow,
01:02:00but you got a little spark in you.
01:02:01I didn't realize how much I miss writing.
01:02:03You know,
01:02:04like I've forgotten about the joy it brings me.
01:02:06I think I thought copywriting was enough,
01:02:08but maybe it's not.
01:02:09Well, now you know.
01:02:10At least you're back to doing something you love.
01:02:12Yeah, exactly.
01:02:13And even if it doesn't turn into something I do for money,
01:02:15at least I know it's important to me.
01:02:16It's exactly how I feel about the real housewives of Salt Lake City.
01:02:19Oh, I wish they'd bring Monica back.
01:02:20Right?
01:02:21She's the best part.
01:02:22I was more intrigued by Jen's storyline.
01:02:25They said I was a good mom,
01:02:27not a perfect mom.
01:02:28I hope it's okay that we're a little late.
01:02:29I'll get to sit up.
01:02:30Thanks.
01:02:31Oh, thank you so much for hosting.
01:02:33Belinda was a little preoccupied this week,
01:02:35if you know what I mean.
01:02:36What are you kidding?
01:02:37This is our idea of a housewarming party.
01:02:39More like heartwarming.
01:02:41Seriously,
01:02:42we have lived in a lot of places
01:02:43and never really felt like we fit in.
01:02:46Till now.
01:02:47Oh, well,
01:02:47I think if we looked into the cauldron,
01:02:49we would see a lifetime of friendship ahead for us.
01:02:54Look at our little angel.
01:02:56All caught up in festive spirit.
01:02:59True, I've never seen her so happy,
01:03:00but our angel still can't compete
01:03:03with our devil, True.
01:03:04Oh, Albert,
01:03:05you little demon, you.
01:03:07Come on, come on.
01:03:08Just let me have a little taste.
01:03:10Bob, not yet even.
01:03:12Oh, I have never been so in love.
01:03:15Well, if you're so in love,
01:03:16go get me a drink.
01:03:18I can't believe you would take
01:03:20palesthesia over echolocation.
01:03:22I mean,
01:03:22if you lost your prefrontal cortex.
01:03:24See, there you go again,
01:03:25trying to confuse me
01:03:25with your technical jargon.
01:03:27I'm just saying money aside,
01:03:28I would rather be Peter Parker
01:03:29than Bruce Wayne.
01:03:30You are so wrong.
01:03:32I'm wrong.
01:03:34Oh, Luna.
01:03:35Wow.
01:03:37The detail of your piping is amazing.
01:03:41I applaud your efforts.
01:03:42I really do.
01:03:44And this is your first cookie competition,
01:03:47is it?
01:03:47Yep.
01:03:48And I guess we'll have to see
01:03:49if a win is to be or not to be.
01:03:52Oh, never heard that one before.
01:03:54Either way,
01:03:54we're really hoping
01:03:55we can at least turn a few heads.
01:03:57Oh, well,
01:03:58how very optimistic of you.
01:04:00But alas,
01:04:02poor Yorick.
01:04:03Once the judges
01:04:04take a bite of my chocolate chip chupacabras,
01:04:07you're going to be heading home
01:04:08with a participation ribbon
01:04:09pinned on your festive little sweater.
01:04:16And that is what we call
01:04:17pre-game intimidation, Helen.
01:04:19Take notes.
01:04:21Shoot, they're pretty good.
01:04:22Okay, come on.
01:04:25Are we ready?
01:04:29Welcome to the first beastly bake-off
01:04:32in more than 20 years.
01:04:34We had a wickedly hard time
01:04:36judging the entries this year,
01:04:38and I'm a little scared
01:04:40to announce the winner.
01:04:41You should be scared, lover girl,
01:04:43because if I smell
01:04:43any netty boy nepotism,
01:04:45I will go nuclear.
01:04:47I can assure you
01:04:48that outside of this year's
01:04:50amazing entries,
01:04:51there has been no home cooking
01:04:53in the selection process.
01:04:55Unlike Christmas rules,
01:04:56there is only one winner today,
01:04:58no second or third place.
01:05:00That's right,
01:05:01only room for one creature
01:05:02in this cavern, baby.
01:05:04Okay, here we go.
01:05:05And the winner is...
01:05:11for her cinnamon spider-doodles,
01:05:13Emily Farge!
01:05:16What?
01:05:20There's no such thing
01:05:21as cruelers.
01:05:22Pam?
01:05:23Pamela?
01:05:24No, no.
01:05:25Pamela?
01:05:25Pamela, Pamela.
01:05:27Darling, Pamela,
01:05:28it's me.
01:05:29It's Mary Louise.
01:05:31Oh.
01:05:32Mary Louise, it's you.
01:05:36Bob, it's you too.
01:05:38Oh, you guys,
01:05:39I just...
01:05:39I just had the most
01:05:40horrible dream.
01:05:42Oh, there were cookies
01:05:43and a witch and...
01:05:45And you were there
01:05:47and...
01:05:48And Belinda, you were there.
01:05:50Oh, and Jared,
01:05:51you were there too
01:05:51and still were...
01:05:53You.
01:05:55Easy.
01:05:57Easy.
01:05:58Easy.
01:05:58We've already performed
01:06:00the awards audit.
01:06:01I could confidently confirm
01:06:02that there was
01:06:03no tomfoolery.
01:06:04She won fair and square.
01:06:06But I...
01:06:07And she can't...
01:06:08How good, Gene.
01:06:10She's never been able
01:06:11to cook anything in her life.
01:06:12Pamela,
01:06:12if I had known
01:06:13how much this was
01:06:13going to upset you
01:06:14or how you were going to react,
01:06:15I would have just given up
01:06:16and let you in.
01:06:17You and me both.
01:06:18Where's my Helen?
01:06:19She's in her room
01:06:19FaceTiming with her dad.
01:06:23Sure.
01:06:26I don't know
01:06:27if it's a head injury
01:06:28or not,
01:06:28but I want to apologize
01:06:32to all of you.
01:06:33Every year,
01:06:34I get so obsessed
01:06:35with winning
01:06:37that I let it
01:06:37become my identity.
01:06:39But as I look around
01:06:40and see all of your faces,
01:06:42I realize
01:06:43that I've already won
01:06:46because I live
01:06:46on Evergreen Lane
01:06:49and there's no place
01:06:50like home.
01:06:53You guys,
01:06:54I'm so sorry
01:06:55to interrupt
01:06:55this very sweet moment.
01:06:56Then don't.
01:06:57But I have news.
01:06:59It looks like Channel 6
01:07:00wants to come out
01:07:00and live stream
01:07:01the Carnival,
01:07:02Spooky Alley,
01:07:03and all.
01:07:04Looks like we better
01:07:05haul out the Halloween.
01:07:06Yes!
01:07:07Yay!
01:07:13Okay, everyone!
01:07:15Everyone!
01:07:16Thank you so much
01:07:17for coming on such short notice.
01:07:19An opportunity
01:07:20has presented itself
01:07:22and I just had to share
01:07:23and bring it to a vote.
01:07:24I got a text
01:07:25from Ashton Ashworth
01:07:26at Channel 6
01:07:27and it looks like
01:07:28they want to come back
01:07:30to the lane.
01:07:30What about that smear piece
01:07:32she did about us?
01:07:33It wasn't exactly a smear.
01:07:35Jared did go full
01:07:36Billy Corgan
01:07:37on those pumpkins.
01:07:38He did.
01:07:39I'm taking full responsibility
01:07:40for my actions.
01:07:41Apparently,
01:07:41it was great for ratings
01:07:42for the network
01:07:43and they want to come back
01:07:43and cover the Carnival
01:07:44and the Spooky Alley.
01:07:45I think this could take
01:07:46our fundraiser
01:07:47to the next level.
01:07:48I think we should do it, guys.
01:07:49They lived here
01:07:49like five minutes.
01:07:51I'm just saying.
01:07:52You know,
01:07:52you've been just fundraising.
01:07:53You know,
01:07:53it's for the kids
01:07:54but, you know,
01:07:54it still seems really fishy to me.
01:07:56I smell a conspiracy.
01:07:57Can't risk any more bad press.
01:07:59Guys, guys, guys,
01:08:00come on.
01:08:01It's time to help a prez out.
01:08:02Listen, when I had to relinquish
01:08:05my powers to my better half,
01:08:07I realized something.
01:08:08I realized that serving this community,
01:08:11it's a privilege.
01:08:12And I let my anger get the best of me
01:08:15and I was a very poor example
01:08:16of how our leaders should be.
01:08:18Luckily,
01:08:18you guys cared about me enough
01:08:19to give me a second chance.
01:08:21Now it's our chance
01:08:22to come together as a community
01:08:24and a neighborhood
01:08:25and celebrate
01:08:27in front of the entire state of Utah.
01:08:28And a few select counties
01:08:30in Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada.
01:08:32Depending on local TV markets.
01:08:34Yes, Ned.
01:08:35Not important, but sure.
01:08:37Yeah.
01:08:38The point is,
01:08:39it's time we back up
01:08:40our humble president
01:08:41and we show everyone
01:08:43what Halloween means to us.
01:08:45What do you say?
01:08:45Are you in?
01:08:46Yeah, I'm in.
01:08:47Ever scream on three.
01:08:48One, two, three.
01:08:49Ever scream!
01:08:55Oh, hey.
01:08:57Did you ever bob for apples?
01:08:58Oh, you better be me.
01:08:59Oh, well, we're on.
01:09:00Here we go.
01:09:02The class is moving,
01:09:03but I keep going for me
01:09:04and I can't afford
01:09:06to look back down.
01:09:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:09:09That way they call it
01:09:10bobbing for apples.
01:09:12Leave them alone.
01:09:12It'll keep them busy
01:09:13till naptime.
01:09:14Smart.
01:09:15Inflatables are not scary.
01:09:17And if they get unplugged,
01:09:18did you...
01:09:19I mean, the illusion is ruined.
01:09:21The idea is for the kids
01:09:23to have a good time,
01:09:23not send them home
01:09:24with night terrors.
01:09:25Look at this.
01:09:25It's horrifying.
01:09:26Okay, okay.
01:09:27We're gonna mix her
01:09:27and also the animatronic
01:09:29Chucky doll,
01:09:29but I'm keeping
01:09:30the homemade Babadook.
01:09:31Oh, keep the Babadook.
01:09:32Babadook.
01:09:33Guys, I'm a little worried
01:09:34about the costume contest.
01:09:35We don't have any sign-ups.
01:09:36I mean, my parents are a given.
01:09:37Jared said he's preparing something.
01:09:39Other than that,
01:09:39it is slow,
01:09:40and I'm just worried
01:09:41we won't have a lot of foot traffic,
01:09:42you know, for the spooky alley.
01:09:43I just hope the rumors aren't true.
01:09:45What rumors?
01:09:45Oh, I don't like to gossip,
01:09:47says the woman
01:09:48who invented
01:09:48the Avril Lavigne conspiracy.
01:09:50Oh, I have my reasons.
01:09:52And quite compelling evidence,
01:09:53I might add.
01:09:55I don't care about that.
01:09:56Belinda, tell me what you heard.
01:09:57Please spill it.
01:09:58Honey, you gotta go listen.
01:09:59I don't know what they've been talking about.
01:10:00I'm scared.
01:10:01We've been gone from us.
01:10:02I don't care if you're scared.
01:10:03Grab a couple cans of it.
01:10:04All right.
01:10:04You know Mary Louisa's hairdresser,
01:10:06Brittany Bateman?
01:10:07Girl can frost the top,
01:10:08and that's no rumor.
01:10:09Apparently, her sister-in-law,
01:10:11Heidi Birch,
01:10:11works out at Train Insane
01:10:13with none other than
01:10:15Ashlyn Ashworth.
01:10:16She said they're only
01:10:17covering the spooky alley
01:10:18for clickbait.
01:10:19What?
01:10:20Oh, I don't understand.
01:10:22She's hoping it's gonna be
01:10:23a train wreck
01:10:23like the pumpkin contest.
01:10:25What do you got?
01:10:25I got nothing.
01:10:26And after what she posted
01:10:28about Pamela
01:10:29from the Beastly Bake Off.
01:10:30How do you suppose
01:10:30she heard about that,
01:10:31do you reckon?
01:10:32I've kept in touch
01:10:33with her mother.
01:10:34I didn't know the phone call
01:10:35was on the record.
01:10:37Yeah.
01:10:37There was always something
01:10:38strange about Ashlyn.
01:10:39Didn't you tell me
01:10:40that when you were in high school
01:10:41they called her schlin-shady?
01:10:43Yes, technically,
01:10:44but that was kind of my fault.
01:10:45I don't think she has
01:10:46an ulterior motive.
01:10:47Oh, really?
01:10:47You don't think she does?
01:10:48Oh, I hope so.
01:10:49But you know,
01:10:50after that first news piece
01:10:51went viral,
01:10:52it doesn't look like
01:10:53the rest of the neighborhood
01:10:54is so confident.
01:10:55Rumor or not,
01:10:56we can't let this thing fail.
01:10:57It's for charity now,
01:10:58and we're gonna prove
01:10:59everyone wrong.
01:10:59Yes.
01:11:00You know Marvin and I
01:11:01are all in.
01:11:02I don't doubt it.
01:11:03And you can put Bob
01:11:04and I down, too.
01:11:05Yeah, we've been cooking up
01:11:06something that's a lot of fire.
01:11:08Really?
01:11:08What is that?
01:11:09You can click down
01:11:10D.J. Frankenstein.
01:11:13Is that another word,
01:11:15Mary Louise?
01:11:15I do not want any spoilers.
01:11:18That's exactly what Jared said.
01:11:19He's not doing something with you?
01:11:20No, he insisted on
01:11:21doing something solo.
01:11:23What about you guys?
01:11:24Ned asked me to join up with him.
01:11:25Really?
01:11:25Where are you going next?
01:11:26I tell you,
01:11:27but he made me sign
01:11:28an airtight non-disclosure agreement.
01:11:30I will say,
01:11:31the stakes are very high
01:11:33with this one.
01:11:34What does airtight
01:11:34mean to you exactly?
01:11:36And what about you, Pamela?
01:11:37Don't ask.
01:11:38You know that Helen
01:11:39and I are ride or die.
01:11:40I wasn't asking
01:11:41to tag along.
01:11:42I have something
01:11:43very special up my sleeve anyway.
01:11:45Well, I hope that it's spooky
01:11:46because we've got something
01:11:47that's gonna push
01:11:47that Nosferatu meter
01:11:48to a high five.
01:11:51Ah, yeah, touchdown, Bob!
01:11:57Now empty those tubs
01:11:58because they're contaminated.
01:12:00You're a lucky lady,
01:12:01Mary Louise.
01:12:06I don't know why
01:12:07that keeps happening
01:12:08to you, Graham.
01:12:10You trying to tell me something?
01:12:13I don't know what
01:12:13the stress levels are like
01:12:14on the other side there,
01:12:15but let me tell you,
01:12:17they're getting pretty high
01:12:18around here.
01:12:20I'm just trying to balance it all.
01:12:22You know, Jared
01:12:22and the HOA
01:12:24and my work
01:12:25and all the activities,
01:12:26and I really just want
01:12:27to make you proud.
01:12:30She is proud.
01:12:33Are you sure about that?
01:12:37Yeah.
01:12:40The whole neighborhood is,
01:12:42especially me.
01:12:44I'm proud of you, too.
01:12:47Even after my near impeachment.
01:12:49Okay, so it wasn't exactly
01:12:50your brightest moment,
01:12:51but it did show me
01:12:53how much you care
01:12:55about your mom
01:12:55and I love that about you.
01:12:57And I love everything about you.
01:13:04I gotta tell you,
01:13:06there was this moment
01:13:08at the bake-off
01:13:09when they announced
01:13:10my name as the winner.
01:13:11It was the first time
01:13:13I had heard someone else
01:13:14say it out loud.
01:13:16Emily Farnsworth.
01:13:18It just had this surge
01:13:19of joy and love
01:13:21and it just filled my heart
01:13:23from bottom to top.
01:13:25That is, of course,
01:13:26until it was totally ruined
01:13:27when Pamela face-planted
01:13:28into the ground,
01:13:29but for a moment,
01:13:32it was perfect.
01:13:35I'm so proud
01:13:36to be married to you.
01:13:38Thank you for saying that.
01:13:41I needed to hear that.
01:13:44I feel like I was really good
01:13:45at being your boyfriend,
01:13:47your fiancé,
01:13:48and I feel like I'm
01:13:49dropping the ball
01:13:50that allows your husband.
01:13:51Oh, honey, come on.
01:13:53Marriage, this is new
01:13:55for both of us.
01:13:56I mean, there's no shame
01:13:56in needing practice.
01:13:58Yeah.
01:13:59I think if we're willing
01:14:00to be honest about
01:14:02what's going on inside,
01:14:03the good, the bad, the ugly,
01:14:06I think we'll be just fine.
01:14:09Yeah, I think so, too.
01:14:11I am a little worried
01:14:12about all these rumors
01:14:13that are going around
01:14:14about Ashlyn Ashworth.
01:14:15I just, I don't even know
01:14:17what to believe anymore.
01:14:18Even if they are true,
01:14:19so what?
01:14:19This entire neighborhood
01:14:20is pulling together
01:14:21and if she thinks
01:14:22that we're going to fall apart
01:14:23on live TV,
01:14:26she's dead wrong.
01:14:27You're absolutely right.
01:14:28This neighborhood
01:14:29is so special
01:14:30and if people don't get it,
01:14:32that's on them.
01:14:36You know what?
01:14:36I'm going to stay up
01:14:38and work on my book
01:14:38a little bit.
01:14:39Okay.
01:14:41You don't have to wait up.
01:14:42Like all the time you need.
01:14:44Because I am planning
01:14:46a little surprise for us.
01:14:55Are you a good witch
01:14:56or a bad witch?
01:14:57I was going to ask you
01:14:58the same thing.
01:14:58Why?
01:14:59I'm clearly Glynda the Good.
01:15:00I know.
01:15:00Sorry, I don't know
01:15:01why I said that.
01:15:01You look cute,
01:15:02but what's with the headset?
01:15:04Well, somebody's got
01:15:04to run the show, so...
01:15:05I get that.
01:15:06I'm excited.
01:15:08Where's your husband?
01:15:09Oh, he's been out running errands
01:15:10for the carnival all day.
01:15:12I think he's waiting
01:15:12for the big reveal.
01:15:13He doesn't want anyone
01:15:14to see his costume
01:15:15until the last minute.
01:15:16I'll make sure
01:15:16the cameras are rolling.
01:15:18Okay.
01:15:19Yeah.
01:15:20Um, I should probably go.
01:15:22All right, thanks.
01:15:22Ty, let's get B-roll.
01:15:26Well, I know they say
01:15:27wickedness was never happiness,
01:15:28but this outfit begs to differ.
01:15:30You look amazing.
01:15:32Where is your costume?
01:15:34I told you it's a surprise.
01:15:35Okay, well, you better hurry up.
01:15:36I can't be seen
01:15:37with a Halloween humbug.
01:15:38I would not dream of it.
01:15:41I don't know what to think.
01:15:42I just can't tell
01:15:43if she's up to no good.
01:15:45It doesn't matter.
01:15:46Look at this cul-de-sac.
01:15:48You're literally
01:15:49surrounded by loved ones.
01:15:50You got this.
01:15:52There you go.
01:15:53Gotta go.
01:15:55Look who's coming.
01:16:00Oh, yeah.
01:16:01There you go.
01:16:06Hi, Halloween.
01:16:09You made her happy Halloween.
01:16:14Happy Halloween.
01:16:15Ah, good morning.
01:16:17What are you, 30?
01:16:18No, out of here.
01:16:19Out.
01:16:20You did my taxes last year.
01:16:21You can't trick or treat.
01:16:22You're too old.
01:16:25I'm afraid there's a dinosaur
01:16:26when I move in here.
01:16:28And don't come back.
01:16:32I hope it picks up.
01:16:34I'm not worried.
01:16:35You think it has anything to do
01:16:36with pretty pink princess over there?
01:16:38I mean, I hope not.
01:16:39Oh, yeah, I see how it is.
01:16:41You don't show up
01:16:42for Helen's harp recital,
01:16:44but you make it
01:16:44to the Halloween party.
01:16:45Sorry, sis.
01:16:46You know, I can't pass up
01:16:47a good old-fashioned
01:16:49fright fest.
01:16:50It is a full moon,
01:16:51but keep the scares
01:16:51to a minimum.
01:16:52Emily will have you
01:16:53removed from the premises.
01:16:54It's true.
01:16:55I'm more Teen Wolf
01:16:56than full-blown Lycan.
01:16:57But Lycan is nerdy
01:16:58little brother-speak
01:16:59for werewolf.
01:17:00The lore is very important to me,
01:17:02especially at this time of year.
01:17:04Do you accept cashier's checks?
01:17:05Well, sure.
01:17:06I don't see why not.
01:17:08You're welcome.
01:17:09These are great, by the way.
01:17:11Yeah.
01:17:12All right, scare you guys later.
01:17:13Bucky, this isn't Costco.
01:17:15Those aren't free samples.
01:17:16No, no, no.
01:17:17Let him have it.
01:17:18Liking or not,
01:17:20the man is generous.
01:17:36Who dares receive each other
01:17:38as we shall make our grease
01:17:40and clamor roar upon his death?
01:17:43And now, straight from Transylvania,
01:17:46some dark magic from Dracula.
01:17:48I want to blow your mind.
01:17:53False face must hide
01:17:54with the false heart.
01:17:56Darth, no.
01:17:59I hope I haven't made a mistake.
01:18:06You are like me now, my love.
01:18:11All right, everybody.
01:18:12Let's give it up
01:18:13for DJ Frankenstein
01:18:15and his boo-fee.
01:18:20If you're looking at our costumes
01:18:22and you're feeling kind of jelly,
01:18:24I'll tell you a story
01:18:25by the Lady Mary Shelley.
01:18:26The stalemate's guaranteed
01:18:27to send a shiver down your spine.
01:18:29It's about the one I know
01:18:30like Dr. Frankenstein.
01:18:32He ignored his friends at school
01:18:33and didn't listen to his teachers.
01:18:35He went around his lab
01:18:36just to work an honest creature.
01:18:38It took a bolt of lightning
01:18:39to bring the thing to life.
01:18:40And then when he was done,
01:18:42he started working on his wife.
01:18:43Dr. what?
01:18:44Dr. Dr. Dr. Frankenstein.
01:18:46Dr. who?
01:18:47Dr. Dr. Dr. Frankenstein.
01:18:55Hey.
01:18:57Hey.
01:18:58I should have said this earlier,
01:19:00but I just wanted to thank you
01:19:02for your kindness.
01:19:03It meant a lot to Jared
01:19:05and all of us, really,
01:19:06that you were willing
01:19:07to give us a second chance.
01:19:08Please, don't mention it.
01:19:09And I want to give you something.
01:19:11It's not totally finished as a dummy,
01:19:14but in the spirit of Ever Scream Lane,
01:19:17it's about a little scarecrow
01:19:18who loves the tricks of Halloween
01:19:19and a witch who loves the treats.
01:19:21And, well, they figure out
01:19:23that they can both have a happy Halloween.
01:19:26It's so cute.
01:19:27Oh, look, it's us.
01:19:29Who did this?
01:19:30Oh, I did it.
01:19:31Yeah, I did it.
01:19:34I...
01:19:35You know, this whole season
01:19:36has been full of ups and downs,
01:19:37but it's really inspired me
01:19:38to get back to doing what I love.
01:19:40And you were a huge part of that.
01:19:42I don't understand.
01:19:43You've just always known
01:19:44what you wanted
01:19:45and you've gone for it
01:19:46and I truly admired that.
01:19:48And I may have gotten
01:19:49a little sidetracked,
01:19:50but I realized I got to get back
01:19:52to doing what I love,
01:19:53which is writing books.
01:19:54Well, thank you for this.
01:19:57And thank you for what you said
01:19:59when you visited the studio.
01:20:00It really helped me
01:20:01put everything into perspective.
01:20:03I could have been
01:20:04a lot nicer to you as well.
01:20:07Maybe now we can start over?
01:20:09I'd really like that.
01:20:10Yeah?
01:20:11Yeah, I'd really like that.
01:20:14And just a heads up,
01:20:16you might want to send
01:20:17some more volunteers
01:20:17to the ticket booth.
01:20:18Oh, really?
01:20:19I've been sharing the fun
01:20:20on my stories
01:20:21and the word is really spreading.
01:20:22You're about to have
01:20:23a lot more visitors
01:20:24headed your way.
01:20:25Oh, thank you.
01:20:26We're ready for them.
01:20:27Ladies and gentlemen,
01:20:28it's time for our special guest,
01:20:31Nickelback on Elm Street.
01:20:32I love Nickelback.
01:20:39Give it up for the lead singer,
01:20:41Chatty Krueger.
01:20:53I realized when I was picking out
01:20:55this Chatty Krueger outfit,
01:20:56that was the old Jared thinking.
01:20:58Now I'm thinking as your husband.
01:21:01What I really wanted
01:21:02was something for us.
01:21:05That's what this is.
01:21:06What is this?
01:21:08Step into my lair.
01:21:20Oh, look at their costumes.
01:21:22Could they be more adorable?
01:21:25Someone surprised me
01:21:26with a couple's costume after all.
01:21:27I like this so much,
01:21:28I'm not going to take it off.
01:21:29I don't think I could
01:21:30take these off if I wanted to.
01:21:31The family sewed my shirt
01:21:33into my pants.
01:21:34Thanks again for making
01:21:35the fundraiser happen, guys.
01:21:36They are still counting donations,
01:21:38but we have already earned
01:21:39double what we did last year.
01:21:42We should get some mead!
01:21:44By the way,
01:21:45a courier dropped this off.
01:21:46Today, you were busy
01:21:47with your tape measure,
01:21:48so I told them
01:21:48I would give it to you.
01:21:49Okay, thanks.
01:21:51What's this?
01:21:52It's Velvet.
01:22:01I got in.
01:22:03We're going to Norway!
01:22:06That is if my wife and I
01:22:09agree after an in-depth discussion.
01:22:11There you go.
01:22:11Good day!
01:22:14Santa Academy!
01:22:16I got in!
01:22:16Okay, but tonight's not about Santa.
01:22:18We may only have a few hours left
01:22:20to celebrate before Christmas takes over,
01:22:22so what do you say
01:22:24we give Halloween all we got?
01:22:25Happy Halloween!
01:22:27Happy Halloween!
01:22:29Halloween is cool!
01:22:31Ha ha ha ha!
01:22:32Ow!
01:22:33All right, Ned.
01:22:34I'll have some.
01:22:35All right.
01:22:36And thus began a new chapter
01:22:37in the story of Evergreen Lane.
01:22:39We became the annual go-to place
01:22:41for trick-or-treating,
01:22:42and the Spooky Alley fundraiser
01:22:44was a huge success.
01:22:46In order to keep the peace,
01:22:47we let Pamela and Helen
01:22:49win the costume contest.
01:22:51The excitement of my new children's book,
01:22:53along with Jared's loving support,
01:22:55gave me the confidence
01:22:56to quit my job
01:22:57and pursue writing full-time.
01:22:59I know what Graham Graham
01:23:00was trying to tell me.
01:23:02The true spirit of Halloween
01:23:03is about remembering
01:23:05the ones you love
01:23:06and having fun
01:23:07and creating memories
01:23:08with those that are still here.
01:23:09If you can remember that
01:23:11and pass the tradition
01:23:12on to the next generation,
01:23:14that spirit
01:23:15will never truly die.
