For those of you

who have had the pleasure of visiting Evergreen Lane,

you know what I mean when I say this is the most

festive street in America.

And for those of you who have never had the chance to visit

us, fret not, because you

a street that carries the spirit of the holidays all year round.

Normally, this

of all neighborhood

all had a previous engagement.

There has never been a more deserving bride

and groom than you and Jared.

I love you guys so much.

Thank you for being

I'm so lucky.

Don't make me cry before the vows.

Not cool, Emily.

And before I use this for

It's something new and something

This is beautiful.

I am so honored that you

I wore it when I was Snow Queen at college.

I'm the one that's honored.

It's gorgeous.

You look spectacular.

Thank you.

You really do.

Can you believe

Hey, now.

No need to talk about they who have left the lane.

And you didn't need to make him a groomsman in absentia.

Why do you care that

You are my best man.

That's why you're here with me on the most

important day of my life.

You, me and Bob.

Hey, we're all out of Vienna sausages.

No, no.

The charcuterie is for the groom.

I was a groom once.

It's OK.

I'm far too nervous to eat.

Maybe I've got

Homemade Bavarian mead made with honey from my very own apiary.

The HOA handbook says

Well, until it's amended, just mind your own bees-ness

and let's have a toast.

Here's to the next chapter of life, love and pursuit

of the holidays.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Sweetheart, it's time.

OK, Mom.

Yes, dear.

Do not call my mom dear.

Gentlemen, let's do this.

Yeah!

Everybody sit down, please.

You look beautiful.

Hey.

Hey.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered

today to celebrate the union of these two beautiful souls.

Emily, the moment I fell in love with you

was captured

when we were seven years old on your front porch.

And from that day on, I've been looking forward to this day.

As I stand in front of you today, although my knees are

shaking a bit like

I've watched you develop

woman that I get to spend the rest of my life with.

I promise you, I will do my best to paint

a perfect picture of love

Jared, I always knew there was something very special

about you.

And when we reconnected,

an amazing architect you are.

And they were right.

The way you have designed your life with loyalty

for the ones you love.

And it shows me who you really are at your core.

You make me feel safe and supported,

and there is no one I would rather

make plans to build the rest of my life with than you.

Emily Melrose, do you take Jared to be

your lawful wedded husband?

I do.

Jared

to be your lawful wedded wife?

Absolutely, without

Then,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

And you may now kiss the bride.

So hold onto hope, love

I've searched high and low for you

For you

For the first time ever,

Each day gets closer

So hold on stronger to me

You may be wondering why we

didn't do a Christmas wedding.

We considered it.

But in memory

we chose to do it on his parents' anniversary.

And even though we had

we were both excited to get back

of the upcoming holidays.

The only problem was this year, we had no idea what

kind of spirit it would bring.

Ghosts and ghouls

Things that creep cruel

What in the Samhain?

Silver Squad

you seeing what we're seeing?

Looks like we got a couple bona fide frightafiles.

Gonna move in for a closer look.

Watch my 6:00.

Woo.

Double, double.

Toil and trouble.

All right, so what are we gonna do about this, folks?

Should I get

Let him enjoy his honeymoon.

We'll break it to him when he gets back.

We get it, Belinda.

But I think he

Don't mess this up for me.

Are you excited, my lovely?

By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.

I'll take that as a yes.

You have too many ghosts, not enough headstones.

Come on, people, get it right.

Ow. Ah.

Ow.

Squirrel.

Jared, you really didn't have to spring for a stretch limo.

We're just on our way home from the airport.

Oh, but I did.

We are still on our honeymoon.

It was the best honeymoon ever.

I enjoyed every

You know what?

After two weeks in Scandinavia,

excited to get back home.

I could have used one

I think I preferred

I wonder if you'll feel the same way

after we celebrate Walpurgisnacht night

this spring.

I pre-booked the hotel

I'm sorry.

The biggest Swedish springtime

Apparently, it's not to be missed.

Honey, I love that you're a planner,

but vacations are kind of something

we need to plan together now.

You're right.

You're right.

I just got too excited.

I'm used to planning things on my own.

But now, we're married.

We make decisions together.

Yeah.

My husband.

Mm.

I love you.

Oh.

Oh.

We're home.

Oh, wow.

I wonder if Pamela's

Glad she liked the design.

Oh, she was so happy with it.

You did such a good job.

I wish I was as fulfilled

You're literally

Copywriter.

I said what I said.

I mean it.

Thanks, love.

I'll get back into it.

I just wish we could stay in fantasy land a little bit

longer.

Because like the medieval

I shall carry you over

Really not necessary.

It's a sign of my love and affection for you,

a literal symbol that I would drop everything on account

of your beck and call.

Woo!

Jared!

Jared.

Jared!

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Here we go.

Come here.

Are you OK? Are you sure?

I'm OK. I'm fine.

Here, let me help you.

Not again.

No, no, no, Jared.

Let's bring it down a notch.

Remember the mantra we've been working on.

Not my weeds. Not my garden.

Emily, when you hold

this entire neighborhood

Now, if you will.

Brought the clipboard

You rang?

Uh, yes, I did ring.

I wanted to introduce

you a few questions

of the HOA guidelines.

Honey, I don't think

I think that's a recording.

Sorry.

Seriously, did you guys ring?

Hi.

Hi, I am Jared

of this lovely neighborhood.

This is my first counselor

committee, Emily Melrose.

Farnsworth.

Emily Farnsworth.

It's my newest title.

Jared and I got

Congratulations.

We've heard tale of the presidential power couple.

I had a premonition we would be graced by your presence.

Won't you come inside?

That would be amazing.

It would... it would,

just got back from

very, very tired.

That's nothing a little

And Marvin makes them extra strong.

Yes, I do.

I'm sure it it. I'm sure it is.

Except that we haven't

Deloused?

Yes, but in the meantime,

as detailed as it is, we are going to have to ask

you to, you know, pare it back.

Pare it back?

The lights

Great touch, actually, but your lawn display

has to go back

I don't understand.

Our realtor told us this was the most festive neighborhood

in all of the state of Utah.

And we are.

Yes, at Christmas.

We are Evergreen Lane, not Ever Scream Lane.

Ever Scream Lane.

We should

Yes...

No, don't do that.

That was just a very clever play on words

for me to emphasize my point.

Which is what exactly?

Per HOA guidelines, we...

it... it says that Section 12...

I'm pretty sure it says you have too much Halloween.

Well, that's not

And it was confirmed by Gail.

Oh, so you've met my parents.

They were the first to welcome

It's so nice of you both to let them stay with you

for the rest

especially right after the wedding.

Must be scoring some serious

Mm-hmm.

Well, I better be.

You know what?

Why don't you just excuse us.

And then we can discuss

and bylaws situation.

Does that sound OK?

Fair is foul,

Just let us know.

Will do.

Let's go.

Turn around.

So great to meet you.

Ta-ta.

Same here.

That's a strange couple.

Indeed.

I really hope you're not mad at me.

I'm definitely not mad, Emily.

I'm just a little surprised, is all.

Why didn't you tell me you invited them?

I'm so sorry.

My mom asked in the middle of the wedding craziness,

and I just forgot.

I truly am sorry.

But they're in the guest loft above the garage.

You're never gonna see them.

Well, don't apologize.

I love your parents.

Love hosting your parents.

It's just, you know, like you said, it's just me and you now,

so I just want to be

- That's all. - Absolutely.

I got your back.

And I've got yours.

Now, let's take care of this

All right.

Jared, what

Oh, I don't know, Albert.

Maybe the fact that we got back from the wedding of our dreams

only to return to a nightmare.

It's just a few lawn decorations.

That's how it starts.

And the next thing you know,

they're sneaking out of their bedrooms,

searching for the Great Pumpkin.

Let's not get crazy now.

I'm not.

It... it's just I'm hoping we are being sensitive

to those who may

celebrating this time of year.

We have bylaws put in place like this for a reason, right?

But that's not entirely true.

What do you mean it's not true?

The motion to de-escalate the other holidays was proposed and

hotly debated, but in the end,

on and therefore, never passed.

What other lies have I been told?

Nobody lied to you, Jared.

The council just decided

maybe a vote wasn't necessary.

Everyone agreed

of Halloween out of respect.

But technically, there's

What do you mean

Oh, honey, have you forgotten?

We did all of this for you.

For me?

Maybe she blocked it out.

It was the last big Halloween we celebrated on the lane.

You mean the last year with grandma.

Excuse me.

I'll be in the basement.

The ba...

Hey, Gram-Gram.

I'm sorry I left you down here.

I just couldn't figure out exactly where to put you.

Your memory lives best

I know it's not the best way to deal with things,

but here we are in a basement

No one can bother us.

Jiminy Christmas.

I'm sorry.

I know how you feel

and well, you've been down here for, wow,

27 minutes and counting.

It's gotta be a record for me.

Honestly, it's not that bad.

What was that?

Furnace.

Ah.

Yeah, no, I still hate it down here.

Yeah.

You OK?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Oh.

I think I've just been so focused

on the wedding

kind of forgot about the past.

Well, she was a great woman.

Yeah, I can still hear her voice.

Remember what she always

You two

It's Halloween, sweetie.

What could you possibly

Ashlynn Ashworth and her friends

dressed like

And they totally jumped

You got yard yelped, did ya?

Yep.

Don't let them get to you.

They were just

But I ran so fast, I spilled my candy on the way back.

That's OK, Emily.

I'll share mine.

Jared, that

I'll take you two

Awesome.

I heard Mary Louise and Bob are giving

out full-sized candy bars.

We gotta get there before they run out.

All in good time, my pretties.

All in good time.

Before we go, why don't

I always say about Halloween?

Never go to Ned's house.

He only gives out

True.

What else do I say about Halloween?

It started as a day to

Even though we get to dress up and get candy from our friends

and family, we

our friends and family members that aren't with us anymore.

And not only should we remember them,

but they should be celebrated.

But why do we dress up?

Because it's tradition.

And there's no

with your friends and neighbors than through age old traditions.

Now, what do you say we get

trick or treating?

Let's do it!

All right, kids, mount up.

Woo!

Happy Halloween!

We got so much candy that year.

Buckets full.

Aw.

I had no idea that'd

she took us trick or treating.

She was gone just two weeks later.

That's when the neighborhood decided to take a step back.

She was the center of the

and the costumes

She always inspired everybody.

Halloween was never the same without her.

Of course, I was

but I had no idea

pulled back from celebrating.

And I never asked for that.

And certainly not something Gram-Gram would have wanted.

No, you're right.

I mean, she said it herself.

Halloween is for remembering

and having a whole lot of fun.

It's time we bring Halloween

Are you sure about this?

No, I'm not sure about this.

I'm actually scared half

You know how I am.

I don't like scary movies.

I don't even like movies

- but definitely are. - Tell me about it.

I've been trying

NeverEnding Story or forever.

Yeah, that's

because I hate quicksand as much

Noted.

But it's time for you to wake up and face the creepy organ music.

For the neighborhood

And for you.

Now, let's get you out of here.

But first...

No kissing

Fair enough.

Speed it up, Buttercup.

We got work to do.

Looking good, Grandma.

I figured I could call you that now that I'm

officially in the family.

Don't worry.

We're gonna make you proud.

Come up to the attic.

You have to see this.

Em, do you just want

I can't.

Just... please just come up.

Wow.

Look what I found.

Portal to Pan's Labyrinth.

This was

Oh, there's so much great stuff up here.

I can see why you

You've never been to my attic?

No, I was never allowed.

And apparently, I'm still trespassing.

"No boys allowed, even Jawid Fawnswuff."

My spelling was atrocious.

In your defense, that is

Well, Jared Farnsworth is very much allowed up here.

He's not a boy.

My man.

Mm-hmm.

All right.

We have to brainstorm how we are gonna make this the best

Halloween in years.

We could start by selling

Come on.

It's not that creepy.

Hmm...

I will not be ashamed by my choice in music.

And how do you explain the creepy typewriter

from The Shining?

That was my grandma's.

She taught me

Yeah, and that was

sit and write all my stories.

You know, maybe this is a message from her to get

you to start writing again.

I wish she'd sent that message to my former agent or publisher

or two.

I spent most of my 20s

a career out of writing stories, but it just wasn't meant to be.

Maybe it's best this chapter of my life

is left up here, just

This was your dream, Em.

Yeah, but when your dream is just collecting dust in a box,

it's time to pack it up and move on.

All right, we gotta get busy.

We have an HOA

Yes!

We have some serious bylaws to propose.

Mm!

I am gonna

of the activities committee.

And if you could coordinate

On it.

Thank you.

Oh, Jared.

Thanks

We'll make you proud.

All right, Evergreen

may come as a very big surprise, but

in honor of my sweet

I want to help bring back Halloween in a big way.

So let's get a good

going on the thread,

All ideas welcome.

Fire 'em off.

And as Gram-Gram

Come on, honey, let's go.

Ned's hosting, and you know he needs a good 36 hour advance

notice to demusk the place.

Coming, sweetheart.

I thought we agreed after the last time

that we weren't gonna hold the HOA meetings at Ned's anymore.

I mean, he served

I think we should

Well, then we're

because Susie's funeral potatoes almost killed me.

I'm impressed.

You have really

What, is the queen coming?

Nothing says royalty like charcuterie.

I've got the donuts!

Dibs on the creepy cruller.

Ned, don't push

You can't have a creepy cruller

Wait, there are only crullers?

No donuts?

I know how popular they are, so I made them all "croo-lers."

I'm sorry.

What did you say?

Crullers.

I... I said crullers.

That's what I thought.

Thank you, Belinda.

At least you won't

wrestling Bob for one of them.

I would have won if he let me wear my orthotic sneakers.

It was barefoot or bust in my day.

That's because they

So, what's the tea, fam?

Are the new neighbors going to show up today?

If they do, I'm sure it will be in a puff of smoke

or on broom back.

I swear those two are witches.

Have you ever heard that Luna speak?

Every word she says sounds like she's casting a spell.

So spooky.

Yeah.

They've been

and the prima conventus

I've heard that

banker by day and moonlights

I don't know what they called them in the 19th century, but

today, we call them morticians.

And where did you

Well, I'll give you a hint.

He wears a singlet

and he believes that pro wrestling is real.

If a masked man gave you the tombstone pile driver

at a Waffle House outside of Galveston, I assure you,

you would know just

I can see that your ongoing litigation with the undertaker

hasn't been resolved.

That doesn't mean that Marvin works in a mortuary for fun.

Think about it.

The initials, M. Balmer.

M. Balmer.

What kind of a cruel joke were his parents playing?

Worst part is

that's five generations of being

But no, I am not a mortician for fun or professionally.

Just want to clear

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.

I'm not offended in the least.

Round about the cauldron go.

In the poison, entrails throw.

No, the poison and then...

And while we're at it, my wife is not a witch.

Exactly what

Dibs on the ruby slippers.

Round about the cauldron go.

In the poison, entrails throw.

Yes.

Oh, sorry.

You guys must think I'm crazy.

I just got cast in Macbeth

Oh.

She's gonna be witch number one.

Yeah, that's... that's

Your dream role

Yeah, 'cause witch number

Ah.

Marvin and I are

and total Shakespeare buffs.

What light through

breaks Ti's our new neighbors.

And Halloween is their sun.

I see we have a fellow Shakespearean among us.

Just got my Bard card renewed a fortnight ago.

Huzzah.

Ah.

Here we go.

And your lawn display is amazing BTDubs.

An homage to the great

Mm.

Shakespeare was the father of the modern horror genre.

Thou speaketh truth.

Aye, aye.

Aye.

Alas, I hate to break up this fun little drama

camp we've got going on here, but this is Evergreen Lane, not

the Globe Theater.

And our HOA

allow this level of theatrics.

Oh!

Ladies and gentlemen of the HOA, for the first time ever,

we present...

To your muster stations.

Go.

Move.

I got the "croo-lers"."

It's pronounced cruller!

Ladies and gentlemen, I do

I was unaware of the potency

You could have just borrowed my Bulgarian fog condenser,

but whatever.

Noted.

Thank you.

I'm sure you're all

this last-minute meeting.

No, not really.

Emily emailed us all

Great. well, I'm sure you're all wondering

why the change of heart, then.

No, Emily sent us

memo explaining everything.

Did she now?

That's great.

Well, I guess I'm not sure what I'm

doing here other than just looking pretty fly

in my vintage J. Press suit.

You look great, babe.

Please, please.

All right, everyone,

subparagraph C

the head of the activities

has the right and obligation

uphold traditions new and old.

I love it when you speak bylaw.

Mm.

Wow, you two really took that two become one homily to heart.

Oh, thank you so much, Pamela.

That's really sweet.

OK, please stop.

So, I took

I ran it by Mr. President here.

And we have decided to turn Evergreen Lane

into Ever Scream Lane.

Oh, wow...

We have taken the traditions

with the zeitgeist of current day,

to bring this spooky season to life in a new and thrilling way.

Mwahaha.

Inspired by the boldness

each household will be required to create

a Halloween lawn display to

to life.

You have one week to get your displays together

or there will be consequences.

I mean, it'll

a citation or community

But do not tempt me for I have fresh citation pads.

There will be daily activities

such as a pumpkin painting contest.

Painting?

Why don't we just carve those puppies?

Because Ned, pumpkin

They're stringy. They're slimy.

No.

But it's very visceral for me.

OK, please, Ned, we don't have time for your sensory obsession.

Touch your corduroys.

You're gonna be thrilled

will be a Beastly Bake-Off.

Yes!

Haha!

Oh, my gosh, I could be Ghoulia Child.

With spooky sweaters.

And just how we do

we will be doing

But, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, to top it all off...

Sorry.

OK, Jared really wanted

Thank you so much, honey.

And to top it all off, on all Hallows' Eve...

October 31, Halloween.

After the tricks have been played,

after the treats have been treated,

we will have a cul-de-sac

So bring that

Are there any rules to who we can or cannot impersonate?

No more foreign dignitaries.

We do not need

Yes, Ned.

Please keep all costumes within the parameters of HOA guidelines

and in accordance with state and federal laws.

Tricky, but not impossible.

In light of all this, we have something we'd like to propose.

That is if we

3 of the party protocol.

Well, invoke away, please.

I know you already have the food drive planned,

but every year, we do a big

We go all out to raise money for the Children's Hospital.

As a young girl, I was treated there,

and they saved my life.

So we try to do everything

That's amazing.

I mean, double the charity.

I love it.

I really... wait, wait, wait,

How spooky are we talking?

Say, like a 5 or a 6 on the Nosferatu meter.

Well, we hit a 7.5 once.

No, no.

7.5?

But that was close to Y2K,

were happening.

Ah, tut, tut, tut.

I know you're 7.5, OK?

I mean, it's...

I think we need to...

OK, I'm not opposed to it.

As long as we remember this is for the kids.

So we have to keep the scare

Yeah, of course.

Should we just take a vote?

Yes.

I think we have to.

OK, then that settles it.

I'll pass out some ballots, and we

can decide if this neighborhood is

ready to come together to face our biggest

fears this Halloween.

I've already faced my greatest fear.

A hot yoga class taught by Ned.

It's free on Thursdays.

Oh, it might be free, but you will pay dearly.

Trust me.

Now, take me off your Mailchimp.

Halloween is back, baby.

OK.

Who pumpkin spiced your latte?

I'm just so excited.

The vote was unanimous.

Everyone loved

And then our new neighbors had this amazing idea to do

this outdoor spooky alley.

And it's gonna raise money for the Children's Hospital.

First lady

You're really taking charge, carving up the HOA handbook.

How's Jared doing with all this?

At first, it was really hard for him to transition

his mind to a new holiday.

Kind of like he's

Right.

But now that he's in it,

It's like Kevin and K-pop.

This is new.

I played one song for him one time.

He totally made fun of me.

The next day, it was

He's basically made it his whole personality.

Same thing with Jared.

He's been driving all the way to Provo to go to this tailor-made

costume store almost every day.

You are in it.

We are, but it is just

I feel like I'm kind of just going through the motions.

I mean, I'm doing a good

it's not fulfilling.

Welcome to most of America.

I think it's just, you know, the wedding, and the honeymoon.

It was so perfect.

Well, the honeymoon

but the real joy of marriage is the journey that lies ahead.

I love that.

Speaking of, I have

to piano lessons.

And you want to wrap up that book you're reading?

We gotta get going.

All done.

I finished the whole series, actually.

Do you have any more?

Oh, I didn't even

that box down from the attic.

No, I only wrote the seven.

Seven?

How come I only knew about one?

After my agent didn't get any bites on the first one,

she dropped me like a T. Swift album.

Hmm.

It didn't really

I really like the different aliens.

Zolt is so funny.

Really?

What was your favorite part?

Probably when the hover

and Zolt was the only

fix it because of the combo wrench his dad gave him.

Wow, you really did read it.

Yep.

Let me know if you

Thanks, Nicole.

I will.

Oh, cute costume.

Thank you.

You look adorable.

So cute.

You shall not pass!

Fly, you fools.

Boo!

Wizard of Oz.

What are you... what are you doing here?

I've been trying to ask you the same question,

but someone I know

for the last two hours.

The store is a bit of a dead zone.

Didn't you see the sign?

Jared, that says undead zone.

It's just a clever sign

I love this store.

Clearly.

You've been coming

jumped on this haunted hayride. - I just want to feel inspired.

You know, we have a... we have a costume contest coming up.

No, no.

We're doing Phantom of the Opera.

We're singing the duet.

Yeah, um, I wanted

Jared, you know

What if I did

Oh, OK.

Is that fine?

Yeah.

I mean, I...

I don't know what to say, but...

Honest reaction.

Go.

It's fine.

Of course, it's fine.

Yeah, we have been doing a lot

and maybe...

maybe we should do

OK.

So you're not annoyed?

I'm only annoyed that now I have

to figure out what I'm doing.

Whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to be epic.

Speaking of epic, we should discuss lawn display ASAP.

Now, what are you thinking?

Evil battling robots?

Zombie apocalypse?

No, no.

This is what I

I think I have found the perfect thing.

I'm confused.

I thought we were working

Look around.

What does this remind you of?

Mainly the fact that I

And I want to eat the entire store.

No, think about it.

The last Halloween with Grandma.

Hansel and Gretel.

The witch's gingerbread house.

What's more Halloween than Grimm's fairy tale?

And it's the perfect way to honor Grandma.

Let me get to work

We don't have

Once we build

it'll be the perfect hiding

- Jared. - Yes!

No.

I didn't think you

I'm not.

I'm not.

But if I was, I would be like the Daniel Day-Lewis of it.

You know I hate

Ashlynn Ashworth still haunts

I could see her in that

She's lurking about.

Oh, it's horrible.

Horrible.

Well, then why would you

in the new HOA protocol?

Because like it or not,

And traditions are important.

But that's why I

to reduce the scare factor.

That way, Ever Scream Lane is a Halloween destination

for all, young and old.

So impressive.

I just really want

And it's going to be.

Everyone can see it.

Thanks.

You know what, though, speaking of Ashlynn,

doesn't she host Wake Up Utah n Channel 6?

Yes.

Her mom and mine stayed friends after they moved.

She mentions it every

Do you think she could

Maybe they could do a story about what

we're up to this year?

Sure, but aren't you guys like frenemies?

I mean, we were, but it was a long time ago.

And if it could help bring people to the carnival,

that would be great.

I mean, our neighborhood

as a Halloween destination.

So if we want to raise

for Children's Hospital, I do think it's worth a try.

I like where your head's at.

Where's your stomach

Excuse me.

Can we get a dozen

of those German chocolate cookies

and oh, throw in two

Excuse me.

Could I see this, please?

Ooh, eclair.

Two eclairs.

We don't have to worry

Careful, Bob.

I don't want to fall down.

He's a werewolf.

Why would he be

Let's zhuzh this guy up.

Careful. that

Trust me, I know.

We don't have to worry

Jared, slow down!

Looking good, Belinda.

Thanks, boo.

Did you just

No.

I... I was just

Boo!

Did I scare you?

Right out of my socks, girl.

Hey, Jared, help me put the nails in my coffin?

Gladly.

Smile, you two.

Oh, what a couple

Oh my goodness.

Ah!

Oh, your thumb.

You need some ice on this.

Jared, a little help.

Yeah, I got you.

What do you

Ah, thank you.

Jared, it has been a real circus

I swear, one of them

You know, clowns freak a lot of people out, but not me.

I actually kind of like them.

Well, you are

You know, I'm gonna try to get these guys set up over there.

I mean, you've been working out.

Could you get that big clown stood up?

Of course. Anything.

Of course, Pamela.

Sure.

Boo!

You just got yard yelped hard.

You did, Jared.

You got me, Helen.

You got me good.

I thought you said

Hope we didn't

Don't you ever apologize for a well-executed prank.

Jared is a big boy.

He can handle it.

That's right.

Oh, look.

Ned and Melinda are

Are you seeing

Oh, God.

Jared?

Jared, are you OK?

What's

I don't know, sweetie.

Just go inside.

Yes, dear.

Whatever.

Looking good, Belinda.

Thanks, boo.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, here.

Oh.

Is that better?

Yeah, that's better.

Jared, are you OK?

I see dead people.

Jared, don't do anything crazy.

Emily!

Emily!

Emily, where are you?

I'm in the kitchen.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...

Is everything OK?

No, it's not OK.

We are, in fact, in a worst case scenario, scenario.

Did you get rejected from the Santa Academy?

What?

No.

How is that even possible?

Did he steal

What? No.

Where are those, by the way?

Maybe they'll show up.

It's so bad, I don't want to even say it out loud.

OK.

Is he going through, like, a flat Earth phase again?

It's worse than that.

Spit it out.

Ned is dating my mom.

Oh, no.

I don't care what he says.

I refuse to call him dad.

You might be getting ahead of yourself here.

You don't know how serious it is yet.

Whatever it was, it definitely was not in the friend zone.

Do they know that

No, I'll never

want erased from my memory.

Every time I close my eyes, I can just

see the way they were

focused and intense,

no one else in the cul-de-sac.

Well, it actually

The man pours pickle

There's nothing sweet about him.

I have to tell Pamela not to tell anyone.

She saw too?

Is that bad?

That's not good.

I mean, that tea's probably too hot for her not to spill.

We have to stop this.

I get that you're upset, but you gotta remember,

they're adults.

And Ned is Ned.

And maybe that's

Or maybe she's under a spell.

Didn't you say that he studied

Jared, you have to talk to her.

Ask her how she's feeling.

She's obviously

why she's hiding it from you.

So tell her it's safe for her

Well, at this point, I don't know if it is.

Right. OK.

Why don't you just take a breath and go

work on the gingerbread house?

I'm sure there's some gumdrops

or some candy that needs to be caned.

What?

There's no candy canes at Halloween.

Jared, just eat your pie.

For you, I will.

Needs some sprinkles.

Hmm.

That looks good.

When did you do this?

I've been wrapped up with all this Ned nonsense,

I didn't even notice this.

What are you doing over here?

Jess was over here with Nicole the other day,

and she read all of those

brought down from the attic.

And she really loved them.

And it just kind of inspired

- You totally should. - It's very casual.

Just the neighborhood had inspired an idea,

and I just, you know...

I just started sketching

Sketch away, my love.

It looks great.

You're so talented.

Hmm, thank you.

I love you.

Oh my goodness.

Oh, nice.

What'd she say?

The Channel 6 news is

What?

Yeah!

I'm gonna text the girls.

What happened there, Gram?

How'd you go all ski wampus on me again?

Yeah.

Everything's looking

And I'm writing again.

I mean, I'm not getting

because of what

but I am having so much fun.

And that's enough for me right now.

Anyway, it's turning into the picture perfect holiday,

and it just feels like

I only wish you

Love you.

Good night.

I'm Ashlynn Ashworth

We are here

should I say Ever Scream Lane?

A neighborhood that is

has traded its cheer

When we come back, we will join them

as they kick off the

pumpkin painting contest, a tradition that has been

squashed for over 25 years.

I nailed that, right?

Hey, is it a bad time?

No, not at all.

We're on commercial.

It is great to see you, Emily.

Good to see you, too.

Thank you so much for coming.

I had to see this for myself.

I still can't believe that you're behind all of this.

You used to live here.

You know how festive we get.

For Christmas, sure.

But ever since you got

this entire neighborhood turned into a ghost town

on Halloween, remember?

Oh, that is good.

Hey, write that down.

Oh, I remember.

And so does my therapist.

Come on.

It wasn't that bad.

I mean, your friend Jeremy was there,

and he didn't seem too scared.

- Who? - Me.

Jared Farnsworth.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I meet a lot of people.

No, it's OK.

I was with her the night that you yard yelped us.

Dressed as Hansel.

You know, we were in Ms.

Super skinny legs.

Always wanted to play the MASH game with us.

Super nerdy.

Oh, yeah.

Big dorky glasses.

And he would always rig the MASH

I was like, hello.

Well, I guess he

got married last month.

That's amazing.

Seriously, congrats you two.

And thank you so much for doing this segment.

It's really exciting.

As HOA president, we really appreciate the exposure,

you know, to... to show how far we've come since we celebrated

Halloween on this level.

Of course.

Do you want me

- No. - Yes.

I... I just was thinking

about the neighbor, you know?

OK.

Well, we're about to be back, so I can

catch up with you guys later?

Yeah, girl, do your thing.

OK.

Uh, Ty, let's move.

Let's go get more coverage.

Do your thing, girl.

- What was that? - I don't know.

I mean, I get around her, and I turn into plastic.

That is the least

I mean, look, Ned is

They're on a team.

Relax.

How am I supposed to relax?

And how do you feel about the Halloween traditions

coming back to life?

It's simply gourd-geous.

Did you see what I did there?

Gourd.

Gourd-geous.

That is a good one.

Did you just come up with that?

That's been ripening on the vine for years.

Don't make me put you down for a nap, Bob.

When you're known for only Christmas,

you don't have the opportunity

Mm.

Most people know that I have a doctorate in arts and crafts.

Oh.

But what they don't know

in the Atacama region of Northern Chile, which

is the pumpkin capital

Basically, I have forgotten

than most people will learn in a lifetime.

I am about to pH

if you know what I mean.

Do you know what I mean?

I think I do.

How would you describe

Intense in a good way.

Like Benedict from

I'd say a little more like Katherine

from Taming of the Shrew.

She's more

Well, no, I mean, I know you love your Rosalind.

Might as well

I'm excited to use the pointillism

technique my mom taught me.

I think it really captures the essence of the holiday

without being too on the nose.

I've gone for more of a cubist approach,

using shapes to really

of what Halloween represents.

Look at those

Adorable.

I can't even enjoy this right now.

Far too upset.

Honey, I want you to try to stay calm.

Like the wise.

Like the wise.

That's something you only say under extreme duress.

Deep breaths.

Ty, for this

to get a nice in-camera zoom.

As you can see, not everyone dressed

up for the painting contest.

I guess some of us just care more.

Now, Ty, go wide.

Go wide.

Paint with us.

Fun fact.

The first Jack-o-Lanterns were made from turnips.

Or large potatoes.

It stemmed from the Celtic Samhain festival in Ireland.

Which some people pronounce "Sawen."

Yeah.

They were believed to ward off evil spirits lurking about.

But today, there's a much more jocular meaning to it,

and dare I say, romantic.

Oh, romantic.

In what way?

Take our pumpkins,

Oh, Romeo and Juliet.

Correct.

We are nearing noontide, so the lighting is not

correct for this, but could you imagine what this street

would look like at night?

And with these pumpkins carved and lit as they should have been

done come eventide, these star

light up the autumnal sky.

Oh, dear.

Edgar James Brodhead, step away from my mama.

I most certainly will not.

Jared, sweetie, you know what?

Let's just take a minute

That's a great idea, Belinda.

Why don't we turn off

and we can discuss this?

How long has

Well, I can't

But as for me, two

you first took the throne

Betrayed,

I will not allow you

with your unwelcomed advances.

They are more than welcome.

Thank you very much.

Is that true?

Truer than true north.

More absolute than

Oh.

There you have it, folks.

True love right here on live TV.

And just like that, HOA President Jared Farnsworth

smashes a Jack-o-Lantern

begging the question, should this neighborhood actually

be called Ever Mean Lane?

That's enough, Ashlynn.

Back to you, Ted.

Back to you, Ted.

As a childhood

I know from experience

the homeowner's association

The intensity is simply too much for some, including my parents.

When asked, HOA President

refused to make

spoke much more than words.

Many Utahns would dream

but today, felt more like a nightmare on Elm Street.

Oh, come on.

That's just yellow journalism.

With a reputation like that,

I have a feeling

be frightened away from the rest of the activities

this Halloween.

Turn it off.

I'm Ashlynn

Thank you for letting

as a neutral holding zone

So sorry you had to see that.

I thought it was kind of exciting, actually.

Ned Brodhead is dating my mother.

Do you understand the implications

behind that type of betrayal?

And you expect me to be concerned

with anything else right now?

I mean, I don't left

I don't know

I mean, the man who lived

And the woman that gave birth to me.

She gave birth to me.

And I don't know what's happening right now.

I'm so confused.

Let's just put a hold

until we hear what it is you have to do to make this right.

And I just hope

of your presidential powers.

They can do that?

It's in the hands

Is it from Star Wars?

Oh, don't let

It's just Mary

They meet at Swigalicious

Don't belittle the system.

These are time-proven

to bring balance to the bylaws.

Star Wars.

Who can forget

debate of '91 when a power grid dispute

almost canceled Christmas.

But lo, two humble HOA members

and created the Magna Carta of merriment.

Are you saying all of this

Can't I just be proud of our work?

Yes, but you don't make us sound humble.

Humble. Shmumble.

That's not a nice accusation.

Can we please make a good impression on the new neighbors?

Honey, do you think

It's not my forgiveness

The Triumvirate of Truth has reached a decision.

Do what must be done.

Jared

been charged with destruction

and projecting a pumpkin in a pedestrian perimeter.

Not only did this impact

but it brought negative news coverage to the neighborhood,

which in turn plummeted the projected property

values by approximately 3%.

Hold my soda.

We know Ned to be neurotic,

necking with your next of kin.

However, we have reviewed

and although we find

to be tyrannical, it cannot be tolerated.

In order to be forgiven, you must fulfill the following.

I don't read

I'm sorry, Bob, I

I'll paraphrase.

Your powers will be temporarily suspended and given to Emily

until you make things right.

Emotions are running really high right now,

and we think you need to sit down with Ned

and talk it over, man to man.

You ruined it, Bob.

You took away all

I got you, girl.

Basically, you better buy the old buck a beer.

I accept

I... I'm sorry.

Hold on.

Look, I'm all for you making good with Ned.

I mean, you can go out on your mandate.

You can bro it up all you want.

But as your interim president, I have a mandate of my own.

Anything.

Before you go

I think Belinda deserves a one-on-one conversation

of her own, don't you?

I concur, Madam President.

Thank you.

I'm so embarrassed.

We had so much soda.

I can't believe that we never thought of her.

I blame the firm psychological

My bad.

It's OK.

I've got my traveling quill.

All right.

I'll just add this to the bottom

Bend.

Do not tell book club about this.

Hmm.

Yum.

Pink meringue?

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

They look delicious.

You know, you

for the Queen Victoria package.

I know, but I wanted to.

I know you've always wanted to have tea with a daughter,

but there are no rules

I appreciate it.

But it's me.

We... we can just talk.

OK.

And I will start by apologizing.

Emily reminded me that we're all adults here,

and I sure wasn't acting like one.

Neither did I. I

I should have told you when I first started catching feelings.

But it took me a while

So, are... are you

I don't know how

but according to Mary

would say we're talking.

Talking?

What does that... first of all,

woman know what the lingo is?

Mom, the real question is, are...

are you happy?

I find myself

That Ned is a real rizzler.

Hmm.

Rizzler?

Mm-hmm.

Love that for you.

I think.

Your father's been

I kind of forgot what it felt like to be seen in that way.

And I never expected

But something about him has changed.

And I love the way his eyes light up when he sees me

or when he listens to me talk.

And I know he's one tall glass of some self-distilled spirit,

but he gets me.

And oh, when he kisses me...

Oh, you can stop there.

I get the picture.

Oh, boy.

I think it just

You know, I...

Ned and I haven't always gotten along.

And he's the strangest

But you know I love the guy.

I know you do.

And honestly, it's still early with us.

I don't know what's

but it means so much to me to know that I have your support.

Absolutely.

I love you, son.

I love you, too.

But if you call Ned

I'm gonna change my mind.

So when did you first know?

Christmas Eve,

Your mother joined me outside for a mug of hot bourbon cider.

It was so dark.

I could just see

And we started talking about our favorite stars.

You know, I could not

but I do have a favorite nebula.

Of course, 'cause everyone knows that.

So, I was born...

May 1.

Yes, which makes me a...

Please land your plane.

A Taurus.

Taurus.

Boo.

Which means my favorite is going to be the Crab Nebula,

otherwise known as NGC 1952.

Sure.

Every... everyone knows that.

Yes, but what I didn't know was your mother's

favorite star is Astraea.

North Star.

You didn't know that at all.

I literally named the only

It's OK.

Not all of us are astrophiles.

But those of us who are know that it is located

in the constellation of Taurus.

And then your mother tells me that Astraea is really

a very famous Greek nymph.

How about I stop you right there.

It's gonna be enough

No, really, you should Google the story and read it later.

It's a scorcher.

I promise you, I will not.

OK.

But do you want

Yes, sir.

First, never use nymph and

ever again.

That's a big ask.

I'm asking.

I'm gonna try.

Try really, really hard.

Yes, sir.

Also, please treat her well, and please be honest with her.

I swear on the stars.

And you watch out

You hear me?

If she breaks your heart, don't come crying to me.

The game of love is

I know what I'm playing.

I swear.

To risking it all.

Do you want to play some pool?

I'll play billiards.

You can call it whatever you want.

You're going down, Brodhead.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, babe.

What are you still doing up?

I had an idea, and it just keeps flowing.

I couldn't sleep.

How'd it go with Ned and Belinda?

Oh, that good, huh?

Not my weeds.

Not my garden.

Well said.

I'm about to head to bed.

But should I wait up for you?

No, I'm almost done here.

I was hoping maybe we could snuggle and watch a movie.

I think I can

Do not drop me, please.

Why would I drop you?

What are you talking about?

So by watch a movie, do you mean start a movie

and then in 15 minutes,

Yeah, but first, we could flirt a little,

you know, laugh

try to find something to watch.

That actually sounds amazing.

Mm.

It's my favorite thing in the whole world.

You know, the more I think

the more I feel like

and just try and clear the air.

It was me who embarrassed himself on regional TV.

No, honey, I'm not

Oh.

Something she said on the broadcast.

Like, maybe her family felt like they were

pushed out of the neighborhood.

I mean, I know I can't change anything, but I...

I just would really love to extend a peace offering,

you know?

I mean, we're adults.

We shouldn't be...

weirdness from

If that's the way

should definitely reach out.

Thanks, honey.

Mm-hmm.

Isn't it so nice

say anything to at any time?

That is the best definition of marriage I've ever heard.

Hey, thanks so much

Oh, of course.

I'm sorry I don't have more time.

I have just been

and keeping up

I've recorded seven cameos this week.

Oh my goodness.

I'm gonna make it quick.

I, um...

Don't worry about Michaela.

She has heard it all.

She is a vault.

I just wanted to apologize for when we were younger.

I was the one that scared you, remember?

I know, but what I

I know the neighbors went into overdrive trying to protect me

after my grandmother passed and after the whole scarecrow thing.

And I just really hope that's not the reason your family

decided to move away.

And after you moved, I

I really did.

And I should have talked to you about it right then and there.

And instead, I put up this wall.

And it wasn't because I

It was actually

Come on, Emily.

You nickname me Shlynn Shady.

And that was totally unfair.

I mean, how were you

gonna ask Buzz Okie to Sadie's?

Everyone wanted to ask Buzz.

Ah, blue eyed Buzz.

The truth is you were so cool and popular,

and I just loved what you did with the school announcements.

You never told me that.

They were clever and funny, and everyone loved them.

And I mean, look.

Look where you are now.

Secretly, I kind of always wanted to volunteer to write

the copy for the teleprompter. - Why didn't you say anything?

I just never had the courage.

And I was embarrassed about how things ended

between us when you moved.

I just want to say I'm sorry that I let

my own insecurities come between what could have

been a really cool friendship.

We need Ashlynn in Studio C, ASAP.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I have to run.

Talk later?

Yeah, of course.

Thank you.

Great.

Oh, here's a headshot for free.

Oh, thank you.

I'll see you soon.

That went well.

I can't

the great and powerful Ashlynn.

It's been bugging

It felt so good to get

I mean, she didn't give me much of a reaction, but that's OK.

It was worth it.

I gotta say, I'm proud of you on so many levels.

Oh, thank you.

Also, I think you're really on to something this year.

Those spider doodles

They taste great too.

I had three of them

Nicole Marie, you're

Come on, it's Halloween. Isn't that the point?

Well, fine.

At least give me a bite, then.

Mm, those are amazing.

Thank you.

I'm so glad.

But save some room

she is a shoo-in to win the contest.

- No secret there. - I don't know.

I'm pretty much of a cookie

I think you have a chance.

Thanks.

I mean, we'll see.

I just do feel like the creative

you know, since I

I don't know.

Maybe some of that energy has been absorbed into the baking

- as well. - Hmm.

I was gonna say there's

I thought it was the honeymoon glow,

but got a little spark in ya.

I didn't realize how much I missed writing, you know?

Like, I've forgotten about

I think I thought copywriting was enough, but maybe it's not.

Well, now you know.

At least you're back

Yeah, exactly.

And even if it doesn't turn into something I do for money,

at least I know it's

It's exactly how I feel about The Real Housewives

of Salt Lake City.

Oh, I wish they'd bring Monica back.

Right?

I was more intrigued by Jen's storyline.

I said I was a good

I hope it's OK

I'll get it set up.

Oh, thank you

Belinda was a little preoccupied this week,

if you know what I mean.

Are you kidding?

This is our idea

More like heartwarming.

Seriously, we have

and never really felt

Aw.

Well, I think if we

we would see a lifetime

Look at our little angel, all caught up in festive spirit.

True I've never seen her so happy.

But our angel

with our devil fruit cake.

Mm, Albert, you little demon, you.

Come on, come on.

Just let me have

Bob, not Yeti.

Oh, I have never been so in love.

Well, if you're so in love,

I can't believe you would take pallesthesia over echolocation.

I mean, have you lost your prefrontal cortex?

See, there you go again.

Trying to confuse me with your technical jargon.

I'm just saying, money aside, I would rather be

Peter Parker than Bruce Wayne.

You are so wrong.

I'm not wrong.

Oh, Luna.

Wow.

The detail of your piping

I applaud your efforts.

I... I really do.

And this is your first

Yep.

And I guess we'll have to see if a win is to be or not to be.

Oh, never heard that one before.

Either way, we're really hoping we

can at least turn a few heads.

Oh, well, how very optimistic of you.

But alas, poor Yorick,

take a bite of my chocolate

you're gonna be heading home with a participation

ribbon pinned on your festive

Hmm-mm.

And that is what we call

Take notes.

Shoot, they're pretty good.

OK, come on.

Are we ready?

Welcome to the first Beastly Bake-Off in more than 20 years.

We had a wickedly hard time judging the entries this year.

And I'm a little scared to announce the winner.

You should be

'cause if I smell any Neddy boy nepotism, I will go nuclear.

I can assure you that outside of this year's amazing entries,

there has been no home cooking

Unlike Christmas rules, there

no second or third place.

That's right.

Only room for one creature

OK, here we go.

And the winner is...

For her cinnamon spider doodles, Emily Farnsworth!

There's no such thing as "croo-lers."

Pam.

Pamela.

No, no.

Pamela. Pamela.

Pamela.

Darling.

Pamela, it's me.

It's Mary Louise.

Oh, Mary Louise, it's you.

Mm-hmm.

Bob, it's you too.

Oh, you guys.

I just... I just had

Oh, there were cookies

And... and you were there.

And... and Belinda, you were there.

Oh, and Jared, you were there, too.

And... and so were...

you.

Easy.

Mm.

Easy.

We've already performed

I can confidently confirm

She won fair and square.

But I... you know, and she can't...

I mean, how could she?

She's never been able

Pamela, if I had known how much this was gonna upset you

or how you were

I would have just given

You and me both.

Where's my Helen?

She's in her room

Thank you.

Sure.

Well, I don't know if it's the head injury or not,

but I want to apologize

Every year, I get so obsessed

let it become my identity.

But as I look around

I realize that I've already won because I

live on Evergreen Lane,

Aw.

Uh, guys, I'm

this very sweet moment.

Then don't.

But I have news.

It looks like Channel 6 wants to come out and live stream

the carnival, spooky

Looks like we better haul out the Halloween.

Yes!

Yay!

OK, everyone, everyone.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for coming

An opportunity has presented itself,

and I just had to share and bring it to a vote.

I got a text from Ashlynn Ashworth at Channel 6,

and it looks like they want to come back to the lane.

What about that smear piece she did about us?

It wasn't exactly a smear.

Jared did go full Billy Corgan on those pumpkins.

Yes, he did.

And I'm taking full

Apparently, it was great for ratings for the network,

and they want to come back and cover the carnival and

the spooky alley.

I think this could take our fundraiser to the next level.

I think we should do it, guys.

They've lived here like, five minutes.

I'm just saying, you know, it's fundraising.

You know, it's

it's still seems really fishy to me.

I smell a conspiracy.

Can't risk any more bad press.

Guys, guys, guys, come on.

It's time to help a pres out.

Listen, when I had to relinquish

I realized something.

I realized that serving this community, it's a privilege.

And I let my anger get the best of me.

And I was a very poor example of how a leader should be.

Luckily, you guys

to give me a second chance.

Now, it's our chance to come together as a community and

a neighborhood

of the entire state of Utah.

And a few select counties

depending on local TV markets.

Yes, Ned.

Not important, but sure.

Yeah.

The point is, it's time we back up our humble president,

and we show everyone what Halloween means to us.

What do you say?

Yeah, I'm in.

Ever Scream on three.

1, 2, 3...

Ever Scream!

I believe in...

Oh.

Hey, do you ever bob for apples?

Oh, you better believe it.

Oh, well, we're on.

Here we go.

But I keep on going

I can't afford to look back down

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Is that why they call it bobbing for apples?

Leave him alone.

It'll keep him

Smart.

Inflatables are not scary and if they get unplugged,

it's just I mean, the illusion is ruined.

The idea is for the kids

not sending home with night terrors.

Look at this.

Hey, OK.

We're gonna nix her and also the animatronic Chucky doll.

But I'm keeping

Oh, keep the Babadook.

Guys, I'm a little worried about the costume contest.

We don't have many sign-ups. I mean, my parents are given.

Jared said he's

Other than that, it is slow, and I'm

just worried we won't have

you know, for the spooky alley.

I just hope

What rumors?

Well, I don't like to gossip.

Says the woman who invented the Avril Lavigne conspiracy.

Oh, I have my reasons.

And quite compelling evidence, I might add.

Thank you.

I don't care about that.

Belinda, tell me what you heard.

Honey, you've gotta go listen.

I want to know what

I'm scared.

I don't care if you're scared.

All right.

Well, you; know Mary Louise's hairdresser, Brittany Bateman?

Girl can frost a top, and that's no rumor.

Apparently, her

works out at Train Insane when none

other than Ashlynn Ashworth.

She said they're only covering the spooky alley for clickbait.

What?

Oh, I don't understand.

She's hoping it's gonna be a train

wreck like the pumpkin contest.

What do you got?

I got nothing.

And after what she posted about Pamela

from the Beastly Bake-Off.

How do you suppose she heard about that, do you reckon?

I kept in touch with her mother.

I didn't know the phone call was on the record.

There was always something

Didn't you tell me that when

they called her Shlynn Shady?

Yes, technically.

But that was kind

she has an ulterior motive.

- You don't think she does? - Oh, I hope so.

But you know, after that

it doesn't look like

is so confident.

Rumor or not, we can't let this thing fail.

It's for charity now, and we're

Yes.

You know Marvin and I are all in.

Thank you.

I don't doubt it.

And you can put

Yeah, we've been cooking up something that's electrifying.

Really?

What is that?

You can put down DJ Frankenstein...

Not another word, Mary Louise.

I do not want any spoilers.

That's exactly what Jared said.

He's not doing

No, he insisted

What about you guys?

Ned asked me

Really?

I'd tell you, but he

non-disclosure agreement.

I will say the stakes are very high with this one.

What does airtight mean to you, exactly?

And what about you, Pamela?

Don't ask.

You know that Helen and I are ride or die.

I wasn't asking you to tag along.

I have something very

Well, I hope that it's spooky, because we've

got something that's gonna push that Nosferatu meter

to a high 5.

Ah!

Haha, yeah!

Uh, yeah, touchdown, Bob.

Now, empty those tubs

You're a lucky

I don't know why that keeps happening to you, Gram.

You trying to tell me something?

I don't know what

like on the other side

they are getting pretty

I'm just trying to balance it all,

you know, Jared, and the HOA and my work and all the activities.

And I really just want

She is proud.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah.

The whole neighborhood

Oh, honey.

I'm proud of you, too.

Even after

OK, so it wasn't exactly your brightest moment,

but it did show me how much you care about your mom.

And I love that about you.

And I love

I gotta tell you.

There was this moment at the bake-off when they announced

my name as the winner.

Mm-hmm.

It was the first time I had heard someone else say

it out loud, Emily Farnsworth.

I just had this surge

and it just filled my heart

That is, of course, until it was totally ruined when Pamela

face planted into the ground.

But for a moment, it was perfect.

I'm so proud to be married to you.

Thank you for saying that.

I needed to hear that.

I think I was

your boyfriend, your fiance.

And feel like I'm dropping the ball a little as your husband.

Oh, honey, come on.

Marriage, this is new for both of us.

I mean, there's no shame

Yeah.

I think if we're willing to be honest about what's

going on inside, the good,

I think we'll be just fine.

Yeah, I think so too.

I am a little worried about

around about Ashlynn Ashworth.

I just... I don't even know what to believe anymore.

Even if they

This entire neighborhood

And if she thinks that we're gonna fall apart on live TV,

she's dead wrong.

You're absolutely right.

This neighborhood is so special.

And if people don't

You know what?

I'm gonna stay up and work on my book a little bit.

OK.

You don't have to wait up.

Take all the time you

a little surprise for us.

Are you a good

I was gonna ask

Why?

I know. Sorry.

I don't know why I said that.

You look cute, but what's

Well, somebody's

l get that.

I'm excited Where's

Oh, he's been

for the carnival all day.

I think he's waiting for the big reveal.

He doesn't want anyone

till the last minute.

I'll make sure

OK, yeah.

I should probably go.

All right, thanks.

Ty, let's get B-roll.

What do they say?

Wickedness was never happiness.

But this outfit begs to differ.

You look amazing.

Thank you.

Where is your costume.

I told you, it's a surprise.

OK, well, you better hurry up.

I can't be seen with a Halloween humbug.

I would not dream of it.

I don't know what to think.

I just can't tell

It doesn't matter.

Look at this cul-de-sac.

You're literally

You got this.

There you go.

Gotta go.

Look who's coming up.

Ghosts goblins

Look who's coming.

Oh, yeah.

When you think they aren't there

Hello!

Happy Halloween.

Playing tricks...

See you later.

Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween.

Ah, good morrow to you.

What are you?

No, out of here.

Out.

You did my taxes last year.

You can't trick or treat.

You're too old.

I'm afraid of the dinosaur.

What are you?

Mon dieu.

And don't come back.

I hope it picks up.

I'm not worried.

You think it has anything

pink princess over there?

I mean, I hope not.

Oh, yeah, I see how it is.

You don't show up

but you make it

Sorry, sis.

You know I can't pass up a good

It is a full moon, but keep the scares to a minimum.

Emily will have you

It's true.

I'm more Teen Wolf than full blown Lycan.

What...

Lycan is nerdy little

The lore is very important to me,

especially at this time of year.

Do you accept cashier's checks?

Oh, sure.

I don't see why not.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

These are great, by the way.

Yeah.

All right, scare you guys later.

Bucky, this isn't Costco.

Those aren't free samples.

No, no, no.

Let him have it.

Like it or not,

Well, I ain't superstitious

But a black cat crossed my trail

Well, I ain't superstitious...

Sister.

Who dares receive it other

clamor roar upon this death?

And now, straight from Transylvania,

some dark magic from Dracula.

I want to blow your mind.

Ah, haha!

False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

I hope I haven't made a mistake.

Ah.

Oh!

You are like me now, my love.

Ho, ho, ho.

All right, everybody, let's give it up for DJ Frankenstein

and his boo thang.

If you're

And you're feeling kind of jelly

I'll tell you a story by the Lady Mary Shelley

This tale is guaranteed to send

a shiver down your spine

It's about the one

He ignored his friends at school

and didn't listen to his teachers

He went around his lab just

It took a bolt of lightning

to bring the thing to life

And then when he was done

He started working on his wife

Doctor what?

Doctor, doctor

Dr. Frankenstein.

Doctor, doctor

Dr. Frankenstein

Hey.

Hey.

I... I should have said this earlier, but I just wanted

to thank you for your kindness.

It meant a lot

really, that you were willing to give us a second chance.

Please, don't mention it.

And I want to give

It's... it's not totally finished.

It's the dummy.

But in the spirit of Ever Scream Lane,

it's about a little

loves the tricks of Halloween and

a witch who loves the treats.

And, well, they figure

both have a Happy Halloween.

It's so cute.

Oh, look.

It's us.

Who did this?

Oh, I did it.

Yeah, I... I did it.

I... you know, this whole season has been full of ups and downs,

but it's really inspired me to get back to doing what I love.

And you were a huge

I don't understand.

You've just always

and you've gone for it.

And I truly admire that.

And I may have gotten a little sidetracked,

but I realized I gotta get back to doing what I love,

which is writing books.

Well, thank you for this.

And thank you for what you said when you visited the studio.

It really helped me put

I could have been a lot nicer to you as well.

Maybe now we can start over?

I'd really like that.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'd really like that.

And just a heads-up, you

volunteers to the ticket booth.

I've been sharing

and the word is really spreading.

You're about to have a lot

Oh, thank you.

We're ready for them.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for our special guest,

Nickelback on Elm Street.

I love Nickelback.

Give it up for the lead singer, Chaddy Kroeger.

I realized when I was picking out

this Chaddy Kroeger outfit,

Now, I'm thinking as your husband.

What I really wanted was something for... for us.

That's what this is.

What is this?

Step into my lair.

Oh, oh.

Oh, look at their costumes.

Could they be more adorable?

No.

Someone surprised me with

I like this so much,

I don't think I could take these off if I wanted to.

Pamela sewed my shirt

Thanks again for making

They are still

but we have already earned double what we did last year.

We should get some mead.

By the way, a courier

You were busy with your tape measure,

so I told him I

OK, thanks.

What's this?

It's velvet.

I got in.

We're going to Norway!

That is if my wife and I agree after an in-depth discussion.

There you go.

Good save.

Santa Academy!

Yes!

Hey, but tonight's not about Santa.

And we may only have

to celebrate before Christmas takes over so what do you say

we give Halloween all we got?

Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is cool.

All right, Ned, I'll have some.

And thus,

in the story of Evergreen Lane.

We became the annual go

And the spooky alley

In order to keep the peace,

Helen win the costume contest.

The excitement of my new

along with Jared's loving support,

gave me the confidence

and pursue writing full-time.

I know what Gram-Gram was trying to tell me.

The true spirit of Halloween is about remembering the ones you

love and having fun in creating memories

with those that are still here.

If you can remember

the tradition

that spirit will never truly die.

La, la, la, la, la
