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.
00:05:37that creep grew up.
00:05:47What in the Samhain?
00:05:50Silver Squad to Green Team, are you seeing what we're seeing?
00:06:01Looks like we got a couple bona fide Frida files gonna move in for a closer look watch my six
00:06:18Double double toil and trouble
00:06:22All right so what are we gonna do about this folks should I get the president on the line
00:06:25Let him enjoy his honeymoon we'll break it to him when he gets back
00:06:28We get it Belinda you want grandchildren but I think he would want to know
00:06:31Don't mess this up for me
00:06:35Are you excited my lovely
00:06:36By the pricking of my thumb something wicked this way comes
00:06:41I'll take that as a yes
00:06:45You have too many ghosts not enough headstones come on people get it right
00:06:50Oh
00:06:51Oh
00:06:52Oh
00:06:52You're a squirrel
00:06:53Jared you really didn't have to spring for a stretch limo we're just on our way home from the airport
00:06:58Oh but I did we were still on our honeymoon
00:07:00It was the best honeymoon ever I enjoyed every second of 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 week in Frafulen
00:07:11I think I preferred
00:07:12It's Kiltunia
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
00:07:18I'm sorry what?
00:07:19The biggest Swedish springtime festival that there is apparently it's not to be missed
00:07:23Honey I love that you're a planner but vacations are kind of something we need to plan together now
00:07:28You're right
00:07:29You're right I just got
00:07:30I'm too excited I'm used to planning things on my own but now
00:07:34We're married
00:07:36We make decisions together
00:07:37Yeah
00:07:38Because you're my wife
00:07:39My husband
00:07:41I love you
00:07:46Oh
00:07:46Oh wow
00:07:54I wonder if Pamela's remodel is done
00:07:55I'm glad she liked the design
00:07:57Oh she was so happy with it
00:07:58You did such a good job
00:08:00I wish I was as fulfilled at my job as you are
00:08:02You're literally the best writer right now
00:08:04Copywriter
00:08:04I said what I said I mean it
00:08:06Thanks love
00:08:07I'll get back into it
00:08:08I just wish we could stay in Fantasyland a little bit longer
00:08:11Well then you are in luck
00:08:12Because like the medieval knights of the old
00:08:14I shall carry you over the threshold of our new castle
00:08:17Really not necessary
00:08:18It's a sign of my love and affection for you
00:08:21A literal symbol that I would drop everything on account of your beck and call
00:08:30Jared
00:08:31Jared
00:08:32Jared
00:08:32Oh I'm so sorry
00:08:34Jared

00:08:37I'm fine
00:08:38Oh no not again
00:08:40It's time
00:08:40No no no no Jared
00:08:41Let's bring it down a notch
00:08:42Remember the mantra we've been working on
00:08:44Not my weeds
00:08:45Not my garden
00:08:45Emily
00:08:47When you hold
00:08:48The mantle of the presidency
00:08:50This entire neighborhood is my garden
00:08:52Oh if you will
00:08:57You brought the clipboard on the honeymoon?
00:09:02You rang?
00:09:06Yes I did ring
00:09:07I wanted to introduce myself
00:09:09And ask you a few questions about your understanding of the HOA guidelines
00:09:13Honey
00:09:14I don't think that's an actual person
00:09:15I think that's a recording
00:09:16I think you're probably right
00:09:20Sorry
00:09:21Seriously
00:09:22Did you guys ring?
00:09:25Hi
00:09:26Hi
00:09:27I am Jared Farnsworth
00:09:28HOA president of this lovely neighborhood
00:09:30This is my first counselor
00:09:31And head of activities committee
00:09:33Emily Melrose
00:09:34Farnsworth?
00:09:35Emily Farnsworth
00:09:36It's my newest title
00:09:37Jared and I got married last month
00:09:38Congratulations
00:09:39We've heard tale of the presidential power couple
00:09:41I had a premonition
00:09:42We would be graced by your presence
00:09:44Won't you come inside?
00:09:45That would be amazing
00:09:46It would
00:09:46It would
00:09:47Except that
00:09:48My wife and I
00:09:49We just got back from our honeymoon
00:09:50And we're very very very tired
00:09:51That's nothing a little jack-o'-lantern job
00:09:53Won'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
00:09:58I'm sure it is
00:09:59Except that we haven't been deloused yet
00:10:01Deloused?
00:10:02Yes
00:10:02But in the meantime
00:10:03Per your display
00:10:04As detailed as it is
00:10:05We are going to have to ask you to
00:10:07You know
00:10:07Pair it back
00:10:08Pair it back?
00:10:09The lights and the pumpkins can stay
00:10:11Great touch actually
00:10:12But your lawn display has to go
00:10:14Back into the crib
00:10:19As it were
00:10:19I don't understand
00:10:21Our realtor told us this was the most festive neighborhood in all of the state of Utah
00:10:26And we are
00:10:27Yes
00:10:27At Christmas
00:10:28We are ever green lane
00:10:30Not ever screen lane
00:10:31What if you're screen lane?
00:10:32I love that
00:10:33We should totally call it that
00:10:34Oh my god
00:10:35Yes
00:10:35No
00:10:35Don't do that
00:10:36That was just a very clever play on words
00:10:38For me to emphasize my point
00:10:40Which is what exactly?
00:10:42Per HOA guidelines
00:10:43We um
00:10:45It
00:10:45It
00:10:46Says that
00:10:48Section
00:10:49Twelve
00:10:51I'm pretty sure it says you have too much Halloween
00:10:52Well that's not what Albert told us
00:10:54And it was confirmed by Gabe
00:10:56Oh so you've met my parents
00:10:57They were the first to welcome us to the neighborhood
00:10:59So nice of you both
00:11:01To let them stay with you for the rest of hurricane season
00:11:03Especially right after the war
00:11:05Wedding
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
00:11:13We're gonna get settled
00:11:13And then we can discuss this whole
00:11:15In-laws and by-laws situation
00:11:16Does that sound okay?
00:11:17Fair is foul and foul is fair
00:11:20Just let us know
00:11:22Will do
00:11:22Let's go
00:11:23So great to meet you
00:11:26Stay near
00:11:28It'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
00:11:38I'm just a little surprised is all
00:11:39Why didn't you tell me you invited them?
00:11:41I'm so sorry
00:11:41My mom asked in the middle of the wedding craziness
00:11:43And I just forgot
00:11:44I truly am sorry
00:11:46But they're in the guest loft above the garage
00:11:48You're never gonna see them
00:11:50Don't apologize
00:11:51I love your parents
00:11:52I love hosting your parents
00:11:53It's just
00:11:53You know like you said
00:11:55It's just me and you now
00:11:56So I just want to be on the same page on this stuff
00:11:58That's all
00:11:58Absolutely
00:11:59I got your back
00:12:00And I've got yours
00:12:04Now let's take care of this decoration situation
00:12:07Alright
00:12:09Jared
00:12:09What seems to be the problem?
00:12:11Oh I don't know Albert
00:12:11Maybe the fact that we got back from the wedding of our dreams
00:12:14Only returned to a nightmare
00:12:15It's just a few lawn decorations
00:12:17That's how it starts
00:12:18And nice thing you know
00:12:19The younger generation
00:12:20They're sneaking out of their bedrooms
00:12:21Searching 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
00:12:30To those who may not feel comfortable
00:12:33Celebrating this time of year
00:12:34We 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
00:12:42Was proposed
00:12:43And hotly debated
00:12:45But in the end
00:12:46Was never voted on
00:12:48And therefore
00:12:49Never passed
00:12:50What other lies have I been told?
00:12:53Nobody 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
00:13:04Out of respect
00:13:05But technically
00:13:06There's no official bylaw
00:13:07What do you mean after what happened?
00:13:09Oh 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
00:13:20We celebrated on the lane
00:13:24You mean the last year with Grandma?
00:13:32Excuse me
00:13:34I'll be in the basement
00:13:37The ba-
00:14:02Hey Graham Graham
00:14:04I'm sorry I left you down here
00:14:07I just couldn't figure out
00:14:09Exactly where to put you
00:14:12Your memory lives best in my head anyway
00:14:15I know it's not the best way
00:14:17To deal with things
00:14:18But here we are
00:14:20In a basement
00:14:21Full of old memories
00:14:23No one can bother us
00:14:24Hey
00:14:25Too many Christmas
00:14:26You scared me
00:14:26I'm sorry
00:14:27I know how you feel about basements
00:14:29And uh
00:14:29Oh you've been down here for
00:14:32Wow
00:14:3327 minutes
00:14:34I'm counting
00:14:34It's gotta be a record for me
00:14:36Honestly it's not that bad
00:14:38Ah
00:14:41What?
00:14:41What's that?
00:14:43Burn us
00:14:45Yeah I know
00:14:45I still hate it down here
00:14:50You okay?
00:14:52Yeah
00:14:53I'll be fine
00:14:54I think I've just been so
00:14:58Focused on the wedding
00:14:59And our future
00:15:00That
00:15:01I kind of forgot about the past
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
00:15:20What could you possibly be upset about?
00:15:23Ashlyn Ashworth and her friends
00:15:24Just like scarecrows in her yard
00:15:26And they totally jumped out and scared us
00:15:29You got yard yelp did ya?
00:15:31Yep
00:15:31Don't let them get to you
00:15:32They were just trying to have fun
00:15:34But I ran so fast
00:15:36I spilled my candy on the way back
00:15:38That's okay Emily
00:15:39I'll share mine
00:15:40Jared
00:15:41That won't be necessary
00:15:42I'll take you two out on the golf cart
00:15:45Awesome
00:15:46I heard Mary Louise and Bob are giving out full sized candy bars
00:15:50We gotta get there before they run out
00:15:51All in good time my pretties
00:15:54All in good time
00:15:58Before we go
00:16:00Why don't you tell Jared what I always say about Halloween
00:16:04Never go to Ned's house
00:16:05He only gives out freeze dried elk liver
00:16:08True
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
00:16:15And get candy from our friends and family
00:16:19We should also remember our friends and family members
00:16:22That aren't with us anymore
00:16:23And not only should we remember them
00:16:25But 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
00:16:34Than through age old traditions
00:16:35Now what do you say we get back to my favorite one of all
00:16:39Trick or treating!
00:16:40Let's do it!
00:16:41Alright kids
00:16:42Mount up!
00:16:44Happy Halloween!
00:16:46We got so much candy that year
00:16:48Buckets full
00:16:52I 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
00:17:02With 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
00:17:10But I had no idea that's why everyone else pulled back from celebrating
00:17:14And I never asked for that
00:17:16And certainly not something Graham Graham would have wanted
00:17:19Oh you're right
00:17:19She said it herself
00:17:21Halloween is for remembering your loved ones and having a whole lot of fun
00:17:26It'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
00:17:33You 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
00:17:37But definitely are
00:17:38Tell me about it
00:17:38I'm trying to get you to finish Never Ending Story for forever
00:17:41Yeah that's never gonna happen because I hate quicksand as much as I hate scary basements
00:17:44Noted
00:17:45But it's time for you to wake up and face the creepy organ music
00:17:48For 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
00:17:58No kissing in the creepy basement
00:18:00Fair enough
00:18:01Speed it up Buttercup
00:18:02We got work to do
00:18:06Looking good Grandma
00:18:08I figured I could call you that
00:18:11And I'll let him officially in the family
00:18:12Or did you
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 done for now Bob
00:18:20When you're known for only Christmas
00:18:22You don't have the opportunity to show your range
00:18:24Most people know that I have a doctorate in arts and crafts
00:18:28But what they don't know is that I did a study abroad in the Atacama region of North
00:18:34What time 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
00:18:40I'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
00:18:58You've never been to my attic?
00:19:00No
00:19:00I was never allowed
00:19:01Apparently I'm still trespassing
00:19:03No boys allowed
00:19:04Even Jawed Farnsworth
00:19:06The spelling was atrocious
00:19:08In 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, he's a man
00:19:16My man
00:19:18Alright we have to brainstorm how we are going to make this the best Halloween in years
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 twenties trying to make a career out of writing stories
00:19:52But it just wasn't meant to be
00:19:53Maybe it's best this chapter of my life is left up here
00:19:57Just a beautiful childhood memory
00:19:59This was your dream
00:20:00Yeah but when your dream is just collecting dust in a box
00:20:04It's time to pack it up and move on
00:20:09Alright we gotta get busy
00:20:10We have an HOA meeting to plan
00:20:12We have some serious bylaws to propose
00:20:14I am going to mobilize the ladies of the activities committee
00:20:17And if you could coordinate with Ned about a venue
00:20:19On it
00:20:19Thank you
00:20:32Oh Jared
00:20:38Thanks for the inspiration Graham
00:20:41We'll make you proud
00:20:47Alright evergreen ladies
00:20:48This may come as a very big surprise
00:20:50But in honor of my sweet grandma Melrose
00:20:53I want to 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 gram gram would say
00:21:04Mount up
00:21:07Come on honey let's go
00:21:09Ned's hosting and you know he needs a good 36 hour advance notice
00:21:12To DM us the place
00:21:13Coming sweetheart
00:21:18I 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
00:21:28Well then we're going to need a lot of luck because Susie's funeral potatoes almost killed me
00:21:32I'm impressed you really upped your game here
00:21:35What is the queen coming?
00:21:36Nothing says royalty like charcuterie
00:21:38I've got the donuts
00:21:39Gips on the creepy crudler
00:21:41Ned don't push me on the pastries
00:21:44You can't have a creepy crudler because they don't exist
00:21:47Wait 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 what did you say?
00:21:55Crullers?
00:21:56I said crullers
00:21:57That'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
00:22:08That'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 broom back
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
00:22:27So spooky
00:22:28Yeah
00:22:29They've been invited as per Jared in the Prima Conventus Clause of 94
00:22:33I've heard that Marvin is a mortgage banker by day
00:22:37And moonlights as an undertaker just for kicks
00:22:41I don't know what they called them in the 19th century
00:22:44But today we call them morticians
00:22:46And where did you hear that from anyway?
00:22:48I'll give you a hint
00:22:49He wears a singlet for underwear
00:22:51And he believes that pro wrestling is real
00:22:55If a masked man gave you the tombstone pile driver
00:22:59At 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
00:23:16M. Balmer!
00:23:18What kind of a cruel joke were his parents playing?
00:23:20Worst part is I'm 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 girl in the poison entrails throat
00:23:38Not the poison in the entrails
00:23:41Yes
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
00:23:47Round about the cauldron go in the poison entrails throat
00:23:52Yes
00:23:55Oh, sorry
00:23:57You guys must think I'm crazy
00:23:58I just got cast in Macbeth at the castle theatre
00:24:01Oh
00:24:01She's gonna be witch number one
00:24:02Yeah, that's sort of a dream role for me
00:24:04Your dream role is witch number one?
00:24:07Yeah, because witch number two was already cast
00:24:09Ah
00:24:10Marvin and I are English professors at UVU and total Shakespeare buffs
00:24:14What light through yonder window breaks
00:24:16Tis 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
00:24:25Huzzah!
00:24:27Here we go
00:24:28And your lawn display is amazing, B.T. Dubs
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
00:24:38Aye
00:24:39All right, at last
00:24:41I 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, boo!
00:25:12Boo!
00:25:15I got the cranners
00:25:17It's pronounced cruller!
00:25:23Ladies 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've just borrowed my Bulgarian fog condenser, but... whatever
00:25:33Noted
00:25:34Thank you
00:25:35I'm sure you're all wondering why we called this last minute meeting
00:25:38No, not really
00:25:39Emily 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
00:25:50Did she now?
00:25:52It's great
00:25:52Well, I guess I'm not sure what I'm doing here
00:25:54Other than just looking pretty fly in my vintage J-press suit
00:25:57You look great, babe
00:25:58Do you want me to take this?
00:25:59Please, please
00:26:00All right, everyone
00:26:01Per addendum B, subparagraph C of the HOA handbook
00:26:05The head of the activities committee
00:26:08Has the right and obligation to propose and uphold traditions new and old
00:26:13Love it when you speak by law
00:26:15I learn from the best
00:26:16Wow
00:26:16You two really took that to become one homily to heart
00:26:19Oh, thank you so much, Pamela
00:26:20That's so sweet
00:26:21Okay, 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!
00:26:35Whoa!
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
00:26:44Whoa!
00:26:46Inspired by the boldness of the Balmers, each household will be required to create a Halloween lawn display to bring
00:26:53the spirit of this holiday to life
00:26:55You have one week to get your displays together, or there will be consequences
00:27:00I 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
00:27:13Painting?
00:27:14Why don't we just carve those puppies?
00:27:17Because, Ned, pumpkin guts are gross, they're stringy, they're slimy, no
00:27:20But it's very visceral for me
00:27:22Okay, please, Ned, we don't have time for your sensory obsession
00:27:26Touch your corduroys
00:27:27Thank you, Pamela
00:27:28You're gonna be thrilled to know that there will be a beastly fake-off
00:27:31Yes!
00:27:32Ha-ha!
00:27:33Oh 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
00:27:41We will be doing a charity food drive
00:27:43But
00:27:43Da-da-da-da
00:27:44To 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
00:27:55After 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
00:28:06To bring that creativity to life
00:28:08Are there any rules to who we can or cannot impersonate?
00:28:13No more foreign dignitaries, we do not need the FBI here again
00:28:15Yes, Ned, please keep all costumes within the parameters of HOA guidelines
00:28:19And in accordance with state and federal laws
00:28:21Tricky
00:28:21But 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
00:28:30I know you already have the food drive planned
00:28:33But
00:28:33Every year we do a big spooky alley in our front 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
00:28:42And 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?
00:28:58Well, we hit a 7.5 once
00:29:00No, no
00:29:017.5?
00:29:02But that was close to Y2K
00:29:04So all sorts of things were happening
00:29:05That won't happen again
00:29:09I mean, it's within public
00:29:11I think we need to
00:29:12Okay, I'm not opposed to it
00:29:13As long as we remember this is for the kids
00:29:15So we have to keep the scare factor to a 5 or below
00:29:17Yeah, of course
00:29:18Should we just take a vote?
00:29:20I think we have to
00:29:21I mean, that's part of the bible
00:29:22Yeah, that settles it
00:29:23I'll pass out some ballots
00:29:24And we can decide if this neighborhood is ready to come together
00:29:28To face our biggest fears this Halloween
00:29:31I've already faced my greatest fear
00:29:33A hot yoga class taught by Ned
00:29:35It's free on Thursdays
00:29:37Oh, it might be free
00:29:38But you will pay dearly
00:29:40Trust me
00:29:41Now take me off your MailChimp
00:29:48Halloween 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
00:29:56Everyone loved my Halloween plans
00:29:58And then our new neighbors had this amazing idea to do this outdoor spooky
00:30:01Alley
00:30:01And it's gonna raise money for the children's hospital
00:30:03First lady of Ever Scream Lane
00:30:05You're really taking charge
00:30:06Carving 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
00:30:15But 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
00:30:24He's basically made it his whole personality
00:30:26Same thing with Jared
00:30:27He's been driving all the way to Provo
00:30:29To go to this tailor-made costume store almost every day
00:30:32You are in it
00:30:33We are
00:30:33But it is just a lot to balance with work
00:30:35I feel like I'm kinda just going through the motions
00:30:38I mean, I'm doing a good job
00:30:39But it's just
00:30:40It's not fulfilling
00:30:41Welcome to most of America
00:30:42I think it's just, you know
00:30:43The wedding and the honeymoon
00:30:45It was so perfect
00:30:46I just wanted to relive it
00:30:47Well, the honeymoon phase is great
00:30:48But the real joy of marriage is the journey that lies ahead
00:30:53I love that
00:30:54Speaking of
00:30:55I have to get that little journey to piano lessons
00:30:58Honey, wanna wrap up that book you're reading?
00:31:00We gotta get going
00:31:00All done
00:31:01I finished the whole series actually
00:31:03Do you have any more?
00:31:04Oh
00:31:04I 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
00:31:20Zolt 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
00:31:51Oh, cute costume
00:31:52You look adorable
00:31:55So cute
00:31:58You shall not pass
00:32:03Lie, you fools
00:32:05Boo
00:32:05Which of us?
00:32:06What are you...
00:32:07What 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
00:32:11I'm sorry, the 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
00:32:23You've been coming here every day since we jumped on this haunted hayride
00:32:25I 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
00:32:33I 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...
00:32:40Alone?
00:32:43Oh...
00:32:44Okay
00:32:45Is that fine?
00:32:46Yeah, I mean, I...
00:32:47I 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...
00:32:56Maybe 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
00:33:05Epic
00:33:06Speaking of epic, we should discuss lawn display ASAP
00:33:09Now...
00:33:10What 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, I 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 and I want to eat the entire store
00:33:31No, think about it
00:33:32Last Halloween with Grandma
00:33:33Yeah
00:33:35Hansel and Gretel
00:33:36The witch's gingerbread house
00:33:37What's more Halloween than Grimm's fairy tale?
00:33:40And it's the perfect way to honor Grandma
00:33:42I'm gonna 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, it'll be the perfect hiding spot for yard yelping
00:33:48Jared!
00:33:49Yes!
00:33:49No, I didn't think you were into yard yelping
00:33:52I'm not!
00:33:54I'm not!
00:33:57But if I was, I would be like the Daniel Day-Lewis of it
00:34:00You know I hate when people do that
00:34:03Ashley Nashford still haunts my dreams twenty years later
00:34:07I could see her in that scarecrow makeup, she's lurking about
00:34:10Oh, it's horrible
00:34:11Horrible
00:34:12Well then, why would you vote to protect yard yelping on the new HOA protocol?
00:34:16Because like it or not, it is a tradition
00:34:18And traditions are important
00:34:19But that's why I added the regulation to reduce the scare factor
00:34:23That way, every screen lane is a Halloween destination for all, young and old
00:34:26So 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
00:34:35Doesn'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
00:34:44Do 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?
00:34:52Well, I 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
00:35:04I do think it's worth a try
00:35:06I like where your head's at
00:35:07Cheers
00:35:07Where'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, uh, one is German chocolate cookies
00:35:14And, uh, oh, threw in two Honeyboys
00:35:17Excuse me, could I see this, please?
00:35:18It's orange
00:35:20Ooh, they clear
00:35:21Two, they clear
00:35:28Careful, Bob, I 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
00:35:40Jared, slow down!
00:35:42Looking good, Belinda
00:35:43Thanks, Boo
00:35:46Did you just call Ned your boo?
00:35:48No, I-I was just trying to scare him
00:35:50Boo, 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
00:36:05Smile, you two
00:36:10Oh, what a couple of handsomes you are
00:36:13Ah!
00:36:14Oh, my goodness
00:36:15Oh!
00:36:16Oh, your clown
00:36:17You need some ice on this
00:36:18Jared!
00:36:19A little help!
00:36:21Yeah, I got you
00:36:21What do you clowns think you're doing?
00:36:23Ah, thank you
00:36:25Yes
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 kinda like them
00:36:35Well, you are braver than I am
00:36:37You know, I'm gonna 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
00:36:47Boo!
00:36:48Ah!
00:36:50You just got yard-yelped
00:36:52Hard!
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
00:37:07He can handle it
00:37:09That's right
00:37:09Oh look, Ned and Melinda are trying to prank you too
00:37:14Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
00:37:17Oh my gosh
00:37:18Jared?
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
00:37:32Oh
00:37:33Is that better?
00:37:35Yeah, that's better
00:37:37Jared, are you okay?
00:37:42I've seen Ned people
00:37:44Jared, don't do anything crazy
00:37:55Emily!
00:37:56Emily?
00:37:59Emily, where are you?
00:38:01I'm in the kitchen
00:38:01No, no, 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
00:38:08In 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? No, where 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
00:38:21Okay, is he going through like a flat earth phase again?
00:38:24It's worse than that!
00:38:24Okay, you're killing me, Smalls, spit it out!
00:38:26Ned
00:38:27Is dating
00:38:28My mom
00:38:31Oh no
00:38:36I don't care what he says
00:38:37I 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
00:38:43It 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
00:38:48Because when it raced from my memory
00:38:49Every time I close my eyes
00:38:51I can just see the way they were looking at each other
00:38:53Just focused and intense
00:38:56Like there was no one else in the cul-de-sac
00:38:57That actually sounds kind of sweet
00:38:58The man pours pickle brine 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 too?
00:39:08Is that bad?
00:39:09That's not good
00:39:10Is she going to tell everyone?
00:39:11That tea's probably too hot for her not to spill
00:39:13We have to stop this
00:39:13I get that you're upset
00:39:14But you've got to remember they're adults
00:39:15And Ned is Ned
00:39:17And 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 Vienna?
00:39:23Jared, you have to talk to her
00:39:25Ask her how she's feeling
00:39:26She's obviously worried
00:39:28And 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
00:39:32Oh, at this point
00:39:32I don't know if it is
00:39:33Great
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
00:39:38Or 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
00:39:45Needs 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
00:39:53Not since I even noticed this
00:39:54What are you doing over here?
00:39:56Jess was over here with Nicole the other day
00:39:58And she read all of those books that you had brought down from the attic
00:40:00And she really loved them
00:40:02And it just kind of inspired me to pick it up again
00:40:04You totally should
00:40:05It's very casual
00:40:06Just the neighborhood had inspired an idea
00:40:08And it just, you know, just started sketching some things out
00:40:10Sketch away, my love
00:40:12Looks great
00:40:13You're so talented
00:40:14Thank you, that means
00:40:15I love you
00:40:17Oh my goodness, Ashlyn texting me back
00:40:19Oh nice, what'd she say?
00:40:21The Channel 6 News is coming to Everscreen Lane
00:40:24What?
00:40:28I'm gonna 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
00:40:50And...
00:40:53I'm writing again
00:40:55I mean, I'm not getting too excited just because of what happened last time
00:40:58But I am having so much fun
00:41:01And that's enough for me right now
00:41:04Anyway, it's turning into the picture-perfect holiday
00:41:06And...
00:41:08It just feels like everything's come 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
00:41:31Or should I say Ever-Scream Lane
00:41:33A neighborhood that is usually known for Christmas
00:41:36Has traded its cheer for fear this spooky season
00:41:40When we come back, we will join them
00:41:42As they kick off the much-anticipated
00:41:44Neighborhood Pumpkin Painting Contest
00:41:46A 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
00:42:01I still can't believe that you were 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
00:42:11This entire neighborhood turned into a ghost town on Halloween, remember?
00:42:15Oh, that is good
00:42:16Hey, write that down
00:42:17Oh, I remember
00:42:18And so does my therapist, trust me
00:42:20Come on, it wasn't that bad
00:42:22I mean, your friend Jeremy was there
00:42:23And he didn't seem too scared
00:42:24Jared
00:42:25Who?
00:42:26Me
00:42:26Jared 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 as 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
00:42:40That's fun to hear
00:42:41Oh, yeah, big dorky glasses
00:42:44And he would always rig the MASH game to end up with you
00:42:46I was like, hello
00:42:48Well, I guess he got his wish
00:42:50Yeah
00:42:51Because we got married last month
00:42:52That's amazing
00:42:54Seriously, congrats you two
00:42:55Thank you
00:42:55And thank you so much for doing this segment
00:42:57It's really exciting
00:42:58As HOA president, we really appreciate the exposure
00:43:01To show how far we've come since we celebrated Halloween on this level
00:43:05Of course
00:43:05Do you want me to interview you two?
00:43:07No
00:43:07Yes
00:43:08I just was thinking we should keep it about the neighbor
00:43:11You know?
00:43:11Totally
00:43:12Okay, well, we're about to be back
00:43:13So I can catch up with you guys later
00:43:15Yeah, girl, do your thing
00:43:17Okay
00:43:18Uh, Ty?
00:43:19Let'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
00:43:27Ned 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
00:43:41Gordages
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 down 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
00:44:05Basically, I have forgotten more about these babies than most people will learn in a lifetime
00:44:11I'm about to PH destroy the competition, if you know what I mean
00:44:15Do you know what I mean?
00:44:17I think I do
00:44:18How would you describe your neighbors?
00:44:20Intense
00:44:20In a good way
00:44:21Like Benedict from Much Ado About Nothing
00:44:23Well, I'd say a little more like Catherine from Taming it
00:44:26True
00:44:26She's more like Rosalyn
00:44:27Well, no, I mean, I know you love Rosalyn
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, adorable
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
00:44:49Look at the wise
00:44:51Look at the wise
00:44:52That's something you only say under extreme duress
00:44:55Deep 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
00:45:02I guess some of us just care more
00:45:07Now, Ty, go white! Go white!
00:45:12Hain 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
00:45:31Oh
00:45:32But today
00:45:33There's a much more jocular meaning to it
00:45:36And dare I say
00:45:37Romantic
00:45:38Oh, romantic in what way?
00:45:40Take our pumpkins for example
00:45:42Oh, Romeo and Juliet
00:45:44Correct
00:45:45We are nearing noontide
00:45:47So the lighting is not correct for this
00:45:50But could you imagine
00:45:52What this street would look like at night?
00:45:56And with these pumpkins carved and lit
00:45:58As they should have been done
00:46:00Come eventide
00:46:02These star-crossed lovers
00:46:05Will surely light up the autumnal sky
00:46:08Oh dear
00:46:10Edgar James Broadhead
00:46:13Step away from my mama
00:46:17I most certainly will not
00:46:19Jared, sweetie
00:46:20You 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
00:46:27And we can discuss this
00:46:28How long has this been going on?
00:46:30Well, I can't speak for the lady
00:46:32But as for me
00:46:32Two Christmases ago
00:46:34The night you first took the throne in Santa's village
00:46:37Betrayed
00:46:38And in my own kingdom
00:46:41I will not allow you
00:46:42To defame the Farnsworth's name
00:46:44With your unwelcomed advances
00:46:45They are more than welcome
00:46:47Thank you very much
00:46:48Is that true?
00:46:51Truer than true north
00:46:52More 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
00:47:17HOA President Jared Farnsworth
00:47:20Smashes a jack-o-lantern of love
00:47:22Begging the question
00:47:24Should this neighborhood
00:47:25Actually 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
00:47:38I know from experience
00:47:40How firm of a grip
00:47:41The homeowners association
00:47:43Has on its residents
00:47:44The intensity is simply too much for some
00:47:47Including my parents
00:47:48When asked
00:47:49HOA President Jared Farnsworth
00:47:52Refused to make a statement
00:47:53But his actions spoke much more than words
00:47:59Many Utahns would dream of living on Evergreen Lane
00:48:03But today felt more like a nightmare on Elm Street
00:48:06Oh come on
00:48:07That's just yellow journalism
00:48:08With a reputation like that
00:48:09I have a feeling
00:48:10The surrounding communities
00:48:11Will be frightened
00:48:12Away from the rest of the activities
00:48:14This Halloween
00:48:15Turn it off
00:48:16I'm Ashland Ashworth
00:48:18And this is
00:48:20Thank you for letting us use your house
00:48:21As a neutral holding zone
00:48:22While the deliberation occurs
00:48:23So 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
00:48:31Behind that type of betrayal
00:48:33And you expect me to be concerned
00:48:34With anything else right now?
00:48:35I mean I don't know
00:48:35Left from right
00:48:36Up from down
00:48:36I don't know
00:48:37Diagnos right now
00:48:38I mean the man who lived next door to me
00:48:40My best man
00:48:41And the woman that gave birth to me
00:48:43She gave birth to me
00:48:45She did
00:48:45And I don't know what's happening right now
00:48:46I'm so confused
00:48:48Wait let's just put a hold on the existential crisis
00:48:50Until we hear what it is you have to do
00:48:52To make this right
00:48:52And I just hope they don't strip you
00:48:53Of your presidential powers
00:48:55They can do that?
00:48:56It's in the hands of the triumvirate of truth
00:48:58Is 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
00:49:07Emergency measures
00:49:08To 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 cancelled Christmas
00:49:17But lo
00:49:19Two humble HOA members stepped into the breach
00:49:22And 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
00:49:31That'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
00:50:07Jared Farnsworth
00:50:07You have been charged with destruction of personal property
00:50:10And projecting a pumpkin in a pedestrian perimeter
00:50:13Not only did this impact the cleanliness of our curbs
00:50:16But it brought negative news coverage to the neighborhood
00:50:18Which in turn plummeted the projected property values
00:50:21By approximately 3%
00:50:23Hold my soda
00:50:26We know Ned to be neurotic
00:50:28And now is known to be necking with your next of kin
00:50:32However, we have reviewed the reasoning for your revolt
00:50:35And although we find the target of your treason to be tyrannical
00:50:40It cannot be tolerated
00:50:42In order to be forgiven
00:50:43You 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
00:51:03And 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
00:51:11Basically, you better buy the old buck a beer
00:51:16I accept the triumvirate's decision
00:51:20I'm sorry, hold on
00:51:21Look, 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
00:51:29I have a mandate of my own
00:51:31What do you think?
00:51:32Before you go out with your bro
00:51:35I think Belinda deserves a one-on-one conversation of her own
00:51:37Don't you?
00:51:39I concur, Madam President
00:51:40Thank you
00:51:41I'm so embarrassed
00:51:42We had so much soda
00:51:43I-I 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
00:51:55Okay?
00:51:56Men
00:51:57Do not tell book club about this
00:52:01Mmm
00:52:02Yum
00:52:16Pink ring?
00:52:17Oh yes, thank you
00:52:19You're delicious
00:52:21You know, you didn't have to spring for the Queen Victoria package
00:52:24I-I know, I would-I wanted to
00:52:28I know you've always wanted to have tea with a daughter
00:52:30But, you know, there are no rules about having it with a son
00:52:33I appreciate it
00:52:34But it's me
00:52:36We-we 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
00:52:49I sure wasn't acting like one
00:52:51Neither did I
00:52:52I-I could have told you
00:52:54I should have told you when I first started catching feelings but
00:52:58It took me a while to realize what was happening
00:53:03So are-
00:53:04Are you in that like-
00:53:08I don't-I don't know how to define it exactly
00:53:12According to Mary Louise, the kids would say, 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-are you happy?
00:53:30I find myself smiling every day
00:53:33That Ned is a real Rizzler
00:53:37Rizzler?
00:53:38Love that for you
00:53:40I think
00:53:40Your father's been gone for so long that I-I kinda forgot what it felt like to be seen in
00:53:46that way
00:53:46And I never expected to feel that way about Ned
00:53:49But something about him has changed
00:53:52And I love the way his eyes light up when he sees me
00:53:56Or 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
00:54:08I get the picture
00:54:11Oh boy
00:54:13I think it just caught me by surprise
00:54:15You know, I-Ned and I haven't always gotten along
00:54:18And he's the strangest man I've ever met
00:54:24But you know I love the guy
00:54:25I know you do
00:54:26And honestly, it's still early with us
00:54:29I don't know what's gonna happen
00:54:30But it means so much to me to know that I have your support
00:54:34Absolutely
00:54:35I love you, son
00:54:36I love you too
00:54:39But if you call Ned the Rizzler ever again
00:54:42I've changed my mind
00:54:47So when did you first know?
00:54:50Uh, Christmas Eve
00:54:53Uh, 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
00:55:03I 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
00:55:13But 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
00:55:26Taurus
00:55:26Ugh
00:55:28Which means
00:55:29My favorite is going to be the Crab Nebula
00:55:32Otherwise known as NGC 1952
00:55:35Sure, everyone knows that
00:55:37Yes
00:55:37But what I didn't know
00:55:39Was your mother's favorite star is
00:55:42Astrea
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
00:55:52Know that it is located in the constellation
00:55:56Of Taurus
00:55:57And then
00:55:58Your mother tells me that
00:56:00Astrea
00:56:00Is really
00:56:01A very famous Greek nymph
00:56:04How about I stop you right there?
00:56:05It's gonna be enough mythology for one evening
00:56:08No, really
00:56:08You should google the story and read it later
00:56:10It's a scorcher
00:56:12I promise you I will not
00:56:13Okay
00:56:14But
00:56:15Do you want to ask you a favor?
00:56:17Yes, sir
00:56:18First
00:56:18Never use
00:56:20Nymph
00:56:20And my mother in the same sentence ever again
00:56:23That's a big ask
00:56:24I'm asking
00:56:25I'm gonna try
00:56:26Try really, really hard
00:56:28Yes, sir
00:56:29Also
00:56:31Please 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
00:56:47High reward
00:56:49I know what I'm playing
00:56:51I swear
00:56:53They're risking it all
00:57:01Do you wanna play some pool?
00:57:02I'll play billiards
00:57:03You can call whatever you want
00:57:04You're going down, Broadhead
00:57:06Yeah
00:57:06Sure
00:57:14Hey babe, what are you sitting up?
00:57:16I had an idea and it just keeps flowing
00:57:19I couldn't sleep
00:57:19How'd it go with Ned and Belinda?
00:57:32Yeah
00:57:32Wow
00:57:33That good, huh?
00:57:35Not my weeds
00:57:35Not my garden
00:57:37Well said
00:57:41I'm about to head to bed
00:57:42But 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 was gonna make that happen
00:57:50What?
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
00:58:02And then in 15 minutes you'll be asleep in my arm?
00:58:05Yeah, but first we could flirt a little, you know
00:58:08Laugh and cuddle while we try to find something to watch
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 Ashland situation
00:58:21I...
00:58:22The 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
00:58:33No
00:58:35Something she said on the broadcast
00:58:39Like maybe her family felt like they were pushed out of the neighborhood
00:58:44I mean, I know I can't change anything
00:58:45But I just...
00:58:47Would really love to extend a peace offering, you know?
00:58:51I mean, we're adults
00:58:52We shouldn't be...
00:58:53We shouldn't have this like weirdness from our childhood between us
00:58:59If that's the way you feel, I think you should definitely reach out
00:59:03Thanks, honey
00:59:03Mm-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
00:59:32And keeping up with my followers
00:59:34I've recorded seven cameos this week
00:59:35Oh my goodness, I'm gonna make it quick
00:59:38I, um...
00:59:39Don't worry about Mikayla, she has heard it all
00:59:40She is a bolt
00:59:43I just wanted to apologize
00:59:45For 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
00:59:53Trying 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, I thought you were mad
01:00:05And I should've 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, you nicknamed me Schlin Shady
01:00:14And that was totally unfair
01:00:15I mean, how were you supposed to know that I was gonna ask Buzz Oki to Sadie's?
01:00:18Everyone wanted to ask Buzz
01:00:19Ah, 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've
01:00:27They were clever and funny
01:00:28And everyone loved them
01:00:30And I mean, look, look where you are now
01:00:32Secretly, I kind of always wanted to volunteer to 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 about how things ended between us when you moved
01:00:43I just wanna say I'm sorry that I let my own insecurities come between what could've been a really cool
01:00:47friendship
01:00:49We need Ashlyn and Studio C ASAP
01:00:52I'm so sorry, I have to run
01:00:54It's okay, talk later?
01:00:55Yeah, of course, go, go, go
01:00:56Thank you
01:00:57Oh, uh, here's a headshot
01:01:00For free
01:01:00Oh, thank you
01:01:01I'll see you soon
01:01:04That went well
01:01:07I can't believe you confronted the great and powerful Ashlyn
01:01:10Been bugging me for years, it felt so good to get it off my chest
01:01:13I mean, she didn't give me much of a reaction, but that's okay, it was worth it
01:01:16I gotta say, I'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 gonna call Marie
01:01:27You're gonna make yourself sick
01:01:28Come on, it's Halloween, isn't that the point?
01:01:30Fine, at least give me a bite then
01:01:33Mmm, those are amazing
01:01:36Thank you, I'm so glad
01:01:37But save some room for Pamela's
01:01:39Cause, you know, she 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, you know
01:01:52Since I started writing again
01:01:53Mmm
01:01:53I don't know, maybe some of that energy's been
01:01:55Absorbed into the baking as well
01:01:56I was gonna say there's something different about you
01:01:58I thought it was the honeymoon glow, but
01:02:00You got a little spark in ya
01:02:01I didn't realize how much I miss writing
01:02:03You know, like I've forgotten about the joy it brings me
01:02:06I think I thought copywriting was enough, but
01:02:08Maybe 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
01:02:21I was more intrigued by Jen's storyline
01:02:25They said I was a good mom, not a perfect mom
01:02:27I hope it's okay that we're a little late
01:02:29Let's hook up, sit up
01:02:30Thanks
01:02:30Oh, thank you so much for hosting
01:02:33Belinda was a little preoccupied this week, if you know what I mean
01:02:36Are you kidding?
01:02:37This is our idea of a housewarming party
01:02:39More like heartwarming
01:02:41Seriously, we have lived in a lot of places and never really felt like we fit in
01:02:45Until now
01:02:46Oh, well, I 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, but
01:03:01Our angel still can't compete with our devil crude cake
01:03:04Mmm, Albert, you little demon, you
01:03:07Come on, come on, just let me have a little taste
01:03:09Bob, not Yeti
01:03:11Oh, I have never been so in love
01:03:15Well, if you're so in love, go get me a drink
01:03:18I can't believe you would take palesthesia over echolocation
01:03:22I mean, if you lost your prefrontal cortex
01:03:24See, there you go again, trying to confuse me with your technical jargon
01:03:27I'm just saying, money aside, I would rather be Peter Parker than Bruce Wayne
01:03:30You are so wrong
01:03:31I'm not wrong
01:03:34Oh, Luna, wow
01:03:37The detail of your piping is amazing
01:03:41I applaud your efforts, I really do
01:03:44And this is your first cookie competition, is it?
01:03:47Yup, and I guess we'll have to see if a win is to be or not to be
01:03:51Oh, never heard that one before
01:03:53Either way, we're really hoping we can at least turn a few heads
01:03:57Oh, well, how very optimistic of you
01:04:00But alas, poor Yorick
01:04:03Once the judges take a bite of my chocolate chip chupacabras
01:04:06You're going to be heading home with a participation ribbon
01:04:09Pinned on your festive little sweater
01:04:16And that is what we call pre-game intimidation, Helen
01:04:19Take notes
01:04:21Shoot, they're pretty good, okay
01:04:22Come on, come on
01:04:25Are we ready?
01:04:29Welcome to the first beastly bake-off in more than 20 years
01:04:34We had a wickedly hard time judging the entries this year
01:04:38And I'm a little scared to announce the winner
01:04:41You should be scared, lover girl
01:04:43Because if I smell any netty boy nepotism, I will go nuclear
01:04:46I can assure you that outside of this year's amazing entries
01:04:51There has been no home cooking in the selection process
01:04:55Unlike Christmas rules, there is only one winner today
01:04:58No second or third place
01:05:00That's right, only room for one creature in this cavern, baby
01:05:03Okay, here we go
01:05:05And the winner is...
01:05:11For her cinnamon spider doodles, Emily Farton!
01:05:20There's no such thing as cruelers
01:05:22Pam?
01:05:23Pamela?
01:05:24No, no
01:05:25Pamela?
01:05:25Pamela, Pamela, Pamela
01:05:27Darling, Pamela, it's me
01:05:29It's Mary Louise
01:05:32Oh, Mary Louise, it's you
01:05:34Bob, it's you too
01:05:38You
01:05:38Oh, you guys
01:05:39I just...
01:05:39I just had the most horrible dream
01:05:42Oh, there were cookies
01:05:43And...
01:05:44And a witch
01:05:45And...
01:05:46And...
01:05:47And you were there
01:05:47And...
01:05:48And Belinda, you were there
01:05:49Oh, and Jared, you were there too
01:05:51And...
01:05:51And still were...
01:05:54You
01:05:55Easy
01:05:57Easy
01:05:58Easy
01:05:58Easy
01:05:59We've already performed the awards audit
01:06:01I could confidently confirm that there was no tomfoolery
01:06:04She won fair and square
01:06:06But I...
01:06:07And she can't...
01:06:08How good she...
01:06:09She's never been able to cook anything in her life
01:06:12Pamela, if I had known how much this was going to upset you
01:06:14Or how you were going to react
01:06:15I would have just given up and let you in
01:06:16You and me both
01:06:17Where's my Helen?
01:06:19She's in her room, FaceTiming with her dad
01:06:21Thank you
01:06:23Sure
01:06:26Well...
01:06:26I don't know if it's a head injury or not
01:06:28But...
01:06:30I want to apologize
01:06:32To all of you
01:06:33Every year, I get so obsessed with winning
01:06:36That I let it become my identity
01:06:39But as I look around and see all of your faces
01:06:42I realize that I've already won
01:06:46Because I live on Evergreen Lane
01:06:49And there's no place like home
01:06:53You guys, I'm so sorry to interrupt this very sweet moment
01:06:56Then don't
01:06:57But I have news
01:06:59It looks like Channel 6 wants to come out
01:07:00And livestream the Carnival, Spooky Alley, and all
01:07:04Looks like we better haul out the Halloween
01:07:06Yes!
01:07:13Okay, everyone!
01:07:15Everyone!
01:07:16Thank you
01:07:16Thank you so much for coming on such short notice
01:07:19An opportunity has presented itself
01:07:22And I just had to share and bring it to a vote
01:07:24I got a text from Ashton Ashworth at Channel 6
01:07:27And it looks like they want to come back to the lane
01:07:30What about that smear piece she did about us?
01:07:33It wasn't exactly a smear
01:07:35Jared did go full Billy Corgan on those pumpkins
01:07:38He did
01:07:38I'm taking full responsibility for my actions
01:07:41Apparently it was great for ratings for the network
01:07:43And they want to come back and cover the Carnival and the Spooky Alley
01:07:45I think this could take our fundraiser to the next level
01:07:48I think we should do it guys
01:07:49They lived here like five minutes
01:07:50I'm just saying
01:07:51You know, we've been fundraising
01:07:53You know, it's for the kids
01:07:54But you know, it 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, come on
01:08:01It's time to help a prez out
01:08:03Listen, when I had to relinquish my powers to my better half
01:08:06I realized something
01:08:08I realized that serving this community
01:08:10It's a privilege
01:08:12And I let my anger get the best of me
01:08:15And I was a very poor example of how our leaders should be
01:08:17Luckily, you guys cared about me enough to give me a second chance
01:08:21Now it's our chance
01:08:22To come together as a community and a neighborhood
01:08:25And celebrate in front of the entire state of Utah
01:08:28And a few select counties in 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 our humble president
01:08:41And we show everyone what Halloween means to us
01:08:44What 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 believe it
01:08:59Oh, well, we're on
01:09:00Here we go
01:09:01Well the class is moving
01:09:03But I keep on going
01:09:04Then I can't afford to look back down
01:09:07Is that why they call it bobbing for apples?
01:09:12Leave him alone
01:09:12It'll keep him busy till nighttime
01:09:14Smart
01:09:15Inflatables are not scary
01:09:16And if they get unplugged
01:09:18did you
01:09:19I mean, the illusion is ruined
01:09:21The idea is for the kids to have a good time, not send them home with night terrors.
01:09:25Look at this.
01:09:25This is horrifying.
01:09:26Okay, okay.
01:09:27We're going to mix her and also the animatronic Chucky doll.
01:09:30But I'm keeping the homemade Babadook.
01:09:31Oh, keep the Babadook.
01:09:32Babadook.
01:09:33Guys, I'm a little worried about 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, it is slow.
01:09:40And I'm just worried we won't have a lot of foot traffic, you 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 who invented the Avril Lavigne conspiracy.
01:09:50Oh, I have my reasons.
01:09:52And quite compelling evidence, I 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've got to 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 them.
01:10:04All right.
01:10:04You know Mary Louisa's hairdresser, Brittany Bateman?
01:10:07Girl can frost the top, and that's no rumor.
01:10:09Apparently, her sister-in-law, Heidi Birch, works out at Train Insane with none other than Ashlyn Ashworth.
01:10:16She said they're only covering the spooky alley for clickbait.
01:10:19What?
01:10:20Oh, I don't understand.
01:10:22She's hoping it's going to be a train wreck, like the pumpkin contest.
01:10:25What do you got?
01:10:25I got nothing.
01:10:26And after what she posted about Pamela from the Beastly Bake Off.
01:10:30How do you suppose she heard about that, do you reckon?
01:10:32I've kept in touch with her mother.
01:10:34I didn't know the phone call was on the record.
01:10:37There was always something strange about Ashlyn.
01:10:39Didn't you tell me that when you were in high school, they called for schlinchady?
01:10:43Yes, technically, but that was kind of my fault.
01:10:45I don't think she has an 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, after that first news piece went viral, it doesn't look like the rest of
01:10:53the neighborhood is so confident.
01:10:55Rumor or not, we can't let this thing fail.
01:10:57It's for charity now, and we're going to prove everyone wrong.
01:10:59Yes.
01:11:00You know Marvin and I are all in.
01:11:02I don't doubt it.
01:11:03And you can put Bob and I down, too.
01:11:05Yeah, we've been cooking up something that's electrifying.
01:11:08Really?
01:11:08What is that?
01:11:09You can flip down D.J. Frankenstein.
01:11:13Is that another word, Mary 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 doing 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, Ned?
01:11:26I tell you, but he made me sign an airtight non-disclosure agreement.
01:11:30I will say, the stakes are very high with this one.
01:11:34What does airtight mean to you, exactly?
01:11:36And what about you, Pamela?
01:11:37Don't ask.
01:11:38You know that Helen and I are ride or die.
01:11:40I wasn't asking to tag along.
01:11:42I have something very special up my sleeve, anyway.
01:11:45Well, I hope that it's spooky, because we've got something that's going to push that Nosferatu
01:11:48meter to a high five.
01:11:51Ah, yeah, touchdown, Bob!
01:11:56Now empty those tubs, because they're contaminated.
01:12:00You're a lucky lady, Mary Louise.
01:12:06I don't know why that keeps happening to you, Graham.
01:12:10You trying to tell me something?
01:12:13I don't know what the stress levels are like on the other side there, but let me tell you,
01:12:17they're getting pretty high around here.
01:12:20I'm just trying to balance it all.
01:12:22Jared and the HOA and my work and all the activities, and I really just want to make you proud.
01:12:30She is proud.
01:12:34Are 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 your brightest moment, but it did show me how much you care about your mom,
01:12:55and I love that about you.
01:12:57And I love everything about you.
01:13:04I gotta tell you, there was this moment at the bake-off when they announced my name as the winner.
01:13:11It was the first time I had heard someone else say it out loud.
01:13:16Emily Farnsworth.
01:13:18I just had this surge of joy and love, and it just filled my heart from bottom to top.
01:13:25That is, of course, until it was totally ruined when Pamela face-planted into the ground,
01:13:29but for a moment, it was perfect.
01:13:35I'm so proud to be married to you.
01:13:38Thank you for saying that.
01:13:41I needed to hear that.
01:13:43I feel like I was really good at being your boyfriend, your fiancé,
01:13:48and I feel like I'm dropping the ball that allows your husband.
01:13:51Oh, honey, come on.
01:13:53And marriage, this is new for both of us.
01:13:56I mean, there's no shame in needing practice.
01:13:58Yeah.
01:13:59I think if we're willing to be honest about what'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 about all these rumors that are going around about Ashlyn Ashworth.
01:14:15I just, I don't even know what to believe anymore.
01:14:18Even if they are true, so what?
01:14:19This entire neighborhood is pulling together,
01:14:21and if she thinks that we're going to fall apart on live TV,
01:14:26she's dead wrong.
01:14:27You're absolutely right.
01:14:28This neighborhood is so special.
01:14:30And if people don't get it, that's on them.
01:14:36You know what?
01:14:36I'm going to stay up and work on my book a 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 a little surprise for us.
01:14:55Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
01:14:57I was going to ask you the same thing.
01:14:58Why?
01:14:59I'm clearly Glynda the Good.
01:15:00I know.
01:15:00Sorry.
01:15:00I don't know why I said that.
01:15:01You look cute, but what's with the headset?
01:15:04Well, somebody's got to 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 for the carnival all day.
01:15:12I think he's waiting for the big reveal.
01:15:13He doesn't want anyone to see his costume until the last minute.
01:15:16I'll make sure the cameras are rolling.
01:15:18Okay.
01:15:19Yeah.
01:15:20Um, I should probably go.
01:15:22Thanks.
01:15:22Ty, let's get B-roll.
01:15:26Well, I know they say wickedness 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 with a Halloween humbug.
01:15:38I would not dream of it.
01:15:41I don't know what to think.
01:15:43I just can't tell if 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 surrounded by loved ones.
01:15:50You got this.
01:15:52There you go.
01:15:53Gotta go.
01:15:55Look who's coming.
01:15:57Oh, yeah.
01:15:59Look who's coming.
01:16:00Oh, yeah.
01:16:01Look who's coming.
01:16:07Oh, yeah.
01:16:09You made her happy Halloween.
01:16:11You 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 when 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 with 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 for Helen's harp recital, but you make it to the Halloween party.
01:16:45Sorry, sis.
01:16:46You know, I can't pass up a good old-fashioned fright fest.
01:16:50It is a full moon, but keep the scares to a minimum.
01:16:52Emily will have you removed from the premises.
01:16:54It's true.
01:16:55I'm more Teen Wolf than full-blown Lycan.
01:16:57But Lycan is nerdy little brother-speak for werewolf.
01:17:00Well, the lore is very important to me, especially at this time of year.
01:17:04Do you accept cashier's checks?
01:17:06Well, 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.
01:17:18Lycan or not, the man is generous.
01:17:24Well, I ain't super-digit, but a blanket for my tray.
01:17:36Who dares receive each other, as we shall make our grease and clamor roar upon his death?
01:17:43And now, straight from Transylvania, some dark magic from Dracula!
01:17:49I want to blow your mind!
01:17:53False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
01:17:59I hope I haven't made a mistake!
01:18:04Oh!
01:18:06You are like me now, my love!
01:18:11All right, everybody, let's give it up for DJ Frankenstein and his buffet!
01:18:20If you're looking at our costumes and you're feeling kind of jelly, I'll tell you a story by the Lady
01:18:25Mary Shelley.
01:18:26The stalens guarantee to send a shiver down your spine.
01:18:29It's about the one and only Dr. Frankenstein.
01:18:32He ignored his friends at school and didn't listen to his teachers.
01:18:35He went around his lab just to work on his creature.
01:18:38It took a bolt of lightning to bring the thing to life.
01:18:40And then when he was done, he 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!
01:18:49Dr. Frankenstein!
01:18:50Dr. Frankenstein!
01:18:52Dr. Frankenstein!
01:18:54Dr. Frankenstein!
01:18:55Dr. Frankenstein!
01:18:55Dr. Frankenstein!
01:18:55Hey.
01:18:57Dr. Frankenstein!
01:18:58I should have said this earlier, but I just wanted to thank you for your kindness.
01:19:03It meant a lot to Jared, and all of us, really, that you were willing to give us a second
01:19:08chance.
01:19:08Please, don't mention it.
01:19:10Dr. Frankenstein!
01:19:10And I want to give you something.
01:19:11It's not totally finished as a dummy, but in the spirit of Ever Scream Lane, it's about a little scarecrow
01:19:18who loves the tricks of Halloween, and a witch who loves the treats, and, well, they figure out
01:19:23that they can both have a happy Halloween.
01:19:25Dr. Frankenstein!
01:19:26It's so cute!
01:19:27Oh, look, it's us!
01:19:29Who did this?
01:19:30Dr. Frankenstein!
01:19:30Oh, I did it.
01:19:32Yeah, I...I did it.
01:19:35I...you know, this whole season has been full of ups and downs, but it's really inspired
01:19:38me to get back to doing what I love, and you were a huge part of that.
01:19:41Dr. Frankenstein!
01:19:42I don't understand.
01:19:43You've just always known what you wanted, and you've gone for it, and I truly admired
01:19:48that.
01:19:48And I may have gotten a little sidetracked, but I realized I've got to get back to doing
01:19:52what I love, which is writing books.
01:19:54Well, thank you for this.
01:19:57And thank you for what you said when you visited the studio.
01:20:00It really helped me put everything into perspective.
01:20:03I could have been a 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.
01:20:13And, uh, just a heads up, you might want to send some more volunteers to the ticket booth.
01:20:18Oh, really?
01:20:19I've been sharing the fun of my stories, and the word is really spreading.
01:20:22You're about to have a lot more visitors headed your way.
01:20:25Oh, thank you.
01:20:26We're ready for them.
01:20:27Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for our special guest, Nickelback on Elm Street.
01:20:32I love Nickelback.
01:20:39Give it up for the lead singer, Chatty Krueger!
01:20:53I realized when I was picking out this Chatty Krueger outfit, that was the old Jared thinking.
01:20:58Now I'm thinking as your husband.
01:21:00What I really wanted was something for us.
01:21:04That's what this is.
01:21:06What is this?
01:21:08Step into my lair.
01:21:19Oh, look at their costumes.
01:21:22Could they be more adorable?
01:21:25Someone surprised me with a couple's costume after all.
01:21:27I like this so much, I'm not going to take it off.
01:21:29I don't think I could take these off if I wanted to.
01:21:32Pamela sewed my shirt into my pants.
01:21:34Thanks again for making the fundraiser happen, guys.
01:21:36They are still counting donations, but we have already earned double what we did last year.
01:21:42We should get some mead!
01:21:44By the way, a courier dropped this off today.
01:21:46You were busy with your tape measure, so I told him I 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 agree after an in-depth discussion.
01:22:11There you go.
01:22:11Good day!
01:22:14Santa Academy!
01:22:16Okay, but tonight's not about Santa.
01:22:18We may only have a few hours left to celebrate before Christmas takes over, so...
01:22:23What do you say we give Halloween all we got?
01:22:26Happy Halloween!
01:22:27Happy Halloween!
01:22:29Halloween is cool!
01:22:31Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
01:22:32Ow!
01:22:33All right, man, I'll have some.
01:22:35All right.
01:22:36And thus began a new chapter in the story of Evergreen Lane.
01:22:39We became the annual go-to place for trick-or-treating, and the Spooky Alley fundraiser was a huge success.
01:22:46In order to keep the peace, we let Pamela and Helen win the costume contest.
01:22:51The excitement of my new children's book, along with Jared's loving support, gave me the confidence to quit my job
01:22:57and pursue writing full-time.
01:22:59I know what Graham Graham was trying to tell me.
01:23:02The true spirit of Halloween is about remembering the ones you love and having fun and creating memories with those
01:23:08that are still here.
01:23:09If you can remember that and pass the tradition on to the next generation, that spirit will never truly die.
01:23:41We'll see you next time.
01:23:51We'll see you next time.
01:23:59To be continued...
