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.
- About 300 trick-or-treaters visited 14-year-old Ted Lahey's elaborate Halloween set in Newton last year, built without kits in the Lahey family front yard.
- Beginning as a small backyard pirate ship, Lahey expanded it into a castle and staged battle concept as he built, with no specific date references in the source.
- 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.
- Ed Lahey initially doubted the scale, saying 'Oh bud, I don't think this is going to fit,' but the family adapted their postage-stamp front yard and impressed neighbors.
- Locally, the setup is viewed as a potential springboard, with Lahey's display drawing wide attention and signaling higher expectations for neighborhood Halloween displays.
