Newton teen builds jaw-dropping Halloween set
Ted Lahey, 14, built a detailed Halloween castle from scratch in his small front yard without kits, attracting around 300 trick-or-treaters, family said.
- Recently, 14-year-old Ted Lahey built a Hollywood-style Halloween set in Newton that drew about 300 trick-or-treaters to the Lahey family front yard.
- Last year it began as a pirate ship and gradually evolved into a larger castle installation in Lahey's backyard.
- Cutting foam insulation board with a hot knife, Ted Lahey used starter fluid and a torch for burn effects, fashioned smoking cannons from PVC pipe and pool noodles, and built a treasure chest from a reconstructed pallet and expansion foam.
- Ted's father Ed Lahey initially doubted the display would fit their postage stamp front yard, but as a family they adapted and impressed neighbors, putting the whole neighborhood on notice.
- The display has drawn wide local attention and is described as a wonderfully decorated place, signaling elevated expectations for neighborhood Halloween displays, with Lahey's family and observers suggesting he may pursue larger projects.
