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!
