ABC Family insiders have the scoop on next Monday’s episodes (1/30/12) of “Pretty Little Liars” and “The Lying Game.”

On “PLL” Hanna’s friends are going behind her back with Caleb while Hanna’s preoccupied with her mean stepsister. Meanwhile, Aria and Holden are staging a relationship as a cover for their secrets.

On “Lying Game,” Rebecca and Annie seem to have a past that nobody knows about. Meanwhile, Sutton’s attacker is still out there.

“PLL” fans are busy trying to figure out who “A” is. Meanwhile, most “Lying Game” fans are Team Emma. (Does Team Sutton have anyone?)

Catch the next episode of “Pretty Little Liars” Monday 8pm ET/PT, followed by “The Lying Game” at 9pm ET/PT on ABC Family.

We know there’s always something dramatic happening with our “Pretty Little Liars“—it’s part of the reason why we love them so. Obviously, all of our attention is focused on the show’s biggest mystery, namely the unveiling of A’s identity, which if we find out the answer at the end of this season (which we’re supposed to) leaves a lot of room for new dramatic plot twists and turns next season.

MTV News was lucky enough to catch up with stars Lucy Hale and Keegan Allen at the People’s Choice Awards last night (Lucy brought Keegan as her date! How cute is that?!?), where we tried to gain some insight from the two as to what might unfold next and what kind of mystery will replace the identity of A.

“I can tell you that the girls go through insane trials and tribulations,” Keegan teased. “The most interesting thing to me is Aria and Ezra’s relationship. Obviously [Lucy] will tell you more about it when she gets here. Toby and Spencer go through this insane whirlwind of emotions. A is doing some stuff. I don’t want to say anything, but it’s going to be pretty out of control.”

So what might replace the A identity drama next season?

“Obviously there is going to be something that keeps it going,” Keegan said. “There are so many secrets that revolve around that story line, so there is always somewhere to go, always things to find out and secrets to unveil.”

“I’m sure they’ll come up with something,” Lucy added. “I’m sure there will be some kind of twist. I’m really curious myself because I honestly have no idea where they’re going with it. We’ll see.”

Will we still be seeing rockiness in Aria and Ezra’s romance?

“Oh, yes, Ezra and Aria, they released the information to her parents. They’re obviously not very happy. It’s sort of like they’ve taken a few steps backwards, so they’re starting from square one almost,” she explained. “They’re a strong couple though, so I’m rooting for them.”

What do you think of this drama? Will Aria and Ezra get back together? Tell us in the comments or on Twitter!

In the next all new episode of Pretty Little Liars Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer think they may be closer than ever to figuring out who “A” really is. The Liars have got their hand on “A’s” cell phone after their recent encounter with the mysterious figure, but Spencer’s idea on how to get information out of the device enrages Hanna.

Be sure to tune in on Jan. 9th on ABC Family for this all new episode.

“Pretty Little Liars” provides viewers with a mixture of thrills and suspense—a perfect recipe for Halloween fun. So when we visited the set of the ABC Family series, we asked the cast what movies they usually tune in to for a scare or just to get into the Halloween spirit.

Lucy Hale, who plays Aria Montgomery on the series, enjoys the classics. “I like ‘Psycho’ or ‘The Shining,’ but that’s more of a thriller. But I like the older scary movies,” she said.

For Tyler Blackburn, better known to viewers as Caleb Rivers, in order for a movie to catch his attention it needs to either mess with your head or star a sexy actress! “I love psychological thrillers, I mean, ‘The Sixth Sense’ is such a classic,” he enthused. “You know, honestly, there’s a movie ‘What Lies Beneath,’ which at the time I saw it, I was freaked out by that. I thought that was great. Plus Michelle Pfeiffer is a such babe.”

But Shay Mitchell, who plays Emily Fields, isn’t looking for a scary as much as a Halloween-esque experience. “I don’t know about favorite scary movie, but I will say my favorite Halloween-ish movie: ‘Hocus Pocus.’ And we were all talking about that when we were shooting that [Halloween] episode, and we were just like, ‘This kind of reminds us of “Hocus Pocus.”’ But that’s my Halloween movie. Every Halloween I watch it.”

So if you’re looking to score a great horror movie this Halloween, take it from the people who know about thrillers!

What’s your favorite scary movie?

Thanks to last week’s deliciously creepy “Pretty Little Liars” Halloween special, we were treated to plenty of eye candy in the form of our favorite Rosewood residents done up in crazy costumes. (We’ll belt, “…Baby One More Time” any day to hefty Hanna as Britney Spears!) But, when we stopped by the set of the ABC Family hit earlier this summer, we wanted to know what the actors and actresses behind the characters wore for their very first Halloween costume.

In a fun coincidence, both Shay Mitchell and Tyler Blackburn recalled dressing as clowns (albeit straddling very different positions on the cute-to-creepy spectrum), but the most swoonworthy story, unsurprisingly, went to Ian Harding.

“Both of my parents worked really hard when I was a kid, so I didn’t really care about costumes,” he explained. “I cared about walking around the neighborhood with my parents. I’m pretty sure they were like, uh, you’re a ghost! And threw a sheet over me and cut little holes in it, probably while I was still in it.”

While his specter memories are a bit hazy, Ian clearly recalled the year he dressed as a pizza-loving, crime-fighting reptile. “I know I was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle,” he continued. “I think I was Donatello. Whichever one was the purple one. That’s what we decided on. My dad was like, ‘He’s the most literate one, so you should be him.’”

We would definitely pay good money to see Mr. Fitz dressed as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle! And just in case you were hoping a photo had somehow leaked on the internet, we already Googled it (to no avail). Nevertheless, Cowabunga, dude!
