  Speaker 1: Hashtag Taylor's Halloween house. Phoenix life of a show. Ghoul
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: is one of the most popular little vignettes in the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: front of the house. And this person actually invites people
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to come to the neighborhood and see it.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Don't you think Taylor should go?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I think she should.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Or at least like say something on social about it
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: or like the post.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Well, Taylor could be making her way to Lisa's town
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: of Milton.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: What?
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Here's a hot tip. That's just in.
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: There is a house.
• 0:29
  Speaker 6: In Milton, Lisa, you need to drive by, that they
• 0:33
  Speaker 6: dress up all the skeletons as Taylor Swift in all
• 0:36
  Speaker 6: her errors. They also have Travis and Jason Kelsey sitting
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: at like a table for their podcast. But it's all
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: the different errors of Taylor Swift with different skeletons.
• 0:50
  Speaker 7: It's pretty cool.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: So they're doing Phoenix in Milton. Yeah.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: See, I like this. You know, people getting creative. I mean,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: these are crazy times, right? Everything's crazy. So to do
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: something that's fun. It is fun. I think it's great.
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I find it odd for people who decorate for
• 1:05
  Speaker 7: Halloween who don't have children. There's a guy who lives
• 1:09
  Speaker 7: in my neighborhood who lives in this huge house completely alone,
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: but he decorates his house for Halloween. What's up with that?
• 1:16
  Speaker 8: Well, that happens a lot, but it's because a lot
• 1:19
  Speaker 8: of these guys are like retired. They're not going to
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: work every day, and they just want something to do
• 1:25
  Speaker 8: to entertain themselves and the neighborhood.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I see that a lot too.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, you love the kids.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Can you make some noise? Let them know you're their kids. Samantha,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: can I get a what what?
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: What what? I mean, people go to Disney without kids.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Where do you think Samantha is right now?
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: She's traumatized from her Kiss Top 30 countdown experience.
• 1:47
  Speaker 9: So I've set up my Halloween decorations this year. It's
• 1:50
  Speaker 9: a bunch of cardboard cutouts, life-size, the main one being
• 1:54
  Speaker 9: Billy kind of hiding behind bushes, and the rest of
• 1:57
  Speaker 9: them being a Little League game being played that Billy's
• 2:01
  Speaker 9: very much enjoying watching.
• 2:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Billy's a big fan of the Little League World Series.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Why do I seem to print so creepy?
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Are you the guy– well, you have kids,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: but they don't live with you. You could be the
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: odd guy. But you don't decorate for Halloween, right?
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: No, and we don't get trick-or-treaters.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: We're in a– You're in a building. Historical schoolhouse, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: nobody can get in the.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Building, so it's– Oh, so you're in– okay. So are
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: you in Medford or Charlestown right now?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Still in Charlestown.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:32
  Speaker 10: This is Erin from Billerica. My son goes to Charlestown
• 2:36
  Speaker 10: every year for Halloween because that's where his dad is from.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: They shut down.
• 2:40
  Speaker 10: All the roads around the monument and the training field,
• 2:45
  Speaker 10: and they just gear it towards kids, and it's amazing, honestly.
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: Anybody who can get there should go.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: There you go, Bill.
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Charlestown gets bigger with it every single year. This
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: year is really over the top. Just head for the
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: Bunker Hill Monument. That neighborhood with all the brownstones is
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: decorated beautifully. My friends Charlie and Brooke, their.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: House is outstanding.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: And Pier 6, you said, right? Pier 6.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Pier 6, which they own in Charlestown. I'm telling you, giant.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what it was.
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: Giant octopus tentacles hanging down the sides of the restaurant,
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: Pier 6.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: So the owner of Pier 6 also lives across from
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: that Bunker.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Hill monument, and they have those same tentacles, so.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Look out for that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Charlie and Brooke.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty cool. Every year I.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Take my son to Spirit Halloween.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: It's a tradition.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We have three large animatronics in our collection.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: It's so much fun.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Every year we host a Halloween party.
• 3:42
  Speaker 11: The kids love it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: And as long as he brings me straight A's, We'll
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: continue with our animatronic collection.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Yo, Spirit Halloween is a place. I know you probably
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: haven't been in there recently. I went to one in Salem,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: New Hampshire. It is unbelievable in there. They have a
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: whole display in the middle. Like, you can walk in.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: They have giant animatronics everywhere.
• 4:05
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: It's great for kids.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: It's really great for kids.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: They can run around. I mean, I put the mask
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: on and my daughter ran out the store screaming.
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: Well, throughout New England, there are so many cool places
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: you can go to celebrate Halloween.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, Salem, right?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Salem. We have Salem here.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: You've got Salem.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Now you've got Charlestown.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You obviously have Beacon Hill in the back bay, which
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is legendary. Bring the kids into Boston and go to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Charlestown and then go to Beacon Hill.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And all the different mazes and farms all over New England.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. So many places to go.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: New England really is the Halloween spot, if you think
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I think so. Well, Salem is the Halloween capital of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the world, I think.
• 4:41
  Speaker 10: Yep. I love the decorating.
• 4:43
  Speaker 11: I think it's super fun.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: My kids love it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: We like to go around and look at them.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: But the Halloween ones sometimes can be a bit obnoxious.
• 4:51
  Speaker 11: They're very strobe-lighty.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: And as someone who lives next door to someone who
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: goes all out, it is really distracting when watching Survivor
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: and every little creak or crevice of a window that
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: doesn't have a cover on it is strobe-lighting in every
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: room of my house.
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I want to hear from some of the people
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: who I hate the neighbor because the neighbor is one
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: of those over-the-top decorators.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Well, strobe lights, too.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You've got to know that's going on.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: The strobe lights are very obnoxious.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I went to Screamfest at Canobie last weekend, and the
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: coolest part of one of the haunted houses was the
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: strobe light. And I remember thinking, like, oh, this is
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: cool to walk through for two seconds. Never mind if
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: it's right next to you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: 24 hours.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like nonstop.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: We've got somebody on the phone right now. Linda, good morning.
• 5:39
  Speaker 11: Good morning. How's everyone this morning?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: We're good. What's your story around Halloween, Linda?
• 5:44
  Speaker 11: I live in Easton, which is near Foxborough, Mansfield.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: And I've lived in the neighborhood for 30 years.
• 5:50
  Speaker 11: And now we.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Have kids that have kids that are my kids' age.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And they have a whole entire house that the younger
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: kids bring the screen down. So the whole entire side
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: of the house is covered.
• 6:04
  Speaker 11: And they have kids.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Halloween movies playing the whole entire night. And they have
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: like 35, 40 chairs for the little kids to sit
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: if they get tired. And then they have a whole
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: setup of like a cauldron in the middle where the
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: kids get their candy.
• 6:21
  Speaker 11: And then they have a whole bar.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Setup that's made like an adult cauldron. And you can
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: have beer and wine.
• 6:27
  Speaker 10: What?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: That sounds awesome. I want to move to Easton.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. It is so cool.
• 6:33
  Speaker 11: We have people that, like, now come from all different places.
• 6:37
  Speaker 11: And it's kind of a secluded neighborhood. So, like, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 11: can park your cars down the road and then kind
• 6:42
  Speaker 11: of walk into the neighborhood. There's, like, 35, 40 houses.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: And it's pretty special.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: It's very cool. Linda, are we talking about a cash bar?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no cash. But they talked about doing something
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: this year as a cash bar. and they're deciding on
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: a charity that they're going to support this year.
• 7:01
  Speaker 11: So if you want to.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Come down and have a beer or a glass of wine,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 11: It'll go to a good charity.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Free beer and wine? Thanks for listening.
• 7:10
  Speaker 11: Yeah, beer and wine. Well, we have Shovel Town Brewery
• 7:14
  Speaker 11: in our town, and it's a big local brewery here.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: And so, I don't know, there may be some coordination
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: with them, and they may come and kind of do
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: a little booth.
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: So who knows?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Well, Linda, we're all coming. We're going to park in
• 7:26
