It’s time for Skully’s final trip to reach the one Halloween Alley store location he is yet to visit. Skully is heading to St. John’s, Newfoundland.
After 6 hours of driving and a 16 hour ferry, Skully arrives. The entire province of Newfoundland has a population of just half a million people. Back in the 1940s and 1950s many people lived in cut-off rural fishing communities that the government felt were not viable locations for people to thrive in. Between 1950 and 1975 over 30,000 residents of Newfoundland were resettled to villages and towns with more advanced infrastructure. Many residents were heartbroken to leave their lifelong homes but they had to leave on government orders.
Today, these abandoned towns still stand but nature has not been kind to them.
