Pretty Little Liars' Halloween Special: Answers Like Full-Size Candy Bars

"This Is a Dark Ride" was a good mixture of PLL's patented ham-fisted exposition with precious high-level information and opportunities for Hanna to drop some one-liners. Which is all I can ask for in an episode.

Halloween In Rosewood

9.5

By Drea94, Apr 22, 2013

A special Halloween episode. As the Liars board the Halloween Ghost Train, they are attacked by a mysterious person in a Queen of Hearts costume. Not everyone on the train makes it out alive!! Great episode, full of action.

"Wait right here while I inexplicably leave you alone so you can either be killed or abducted or run away! Remember, it's really important that I leave you alone!"

Ugh. I might be done watching after that episode. Not sure how long it will take to forget the bad stench of every cliche in the book.

7.0

By thefanof, Oct 30, 2012

A lot more action-packed than previous episodes of PLL, but then again not a lot of character development or storyline advancement. Good to have the show return for one night between hiatuses, but not much was accomplished here, until we find out who was in the bodybag.

Still, an enjoyable show. Enough to hold us over until the season continues.

Epic!

9.0

By BrookeParker, Oct 24, 2012

Like the title says. Where to begin? The flashback with Ali and Jenna's fight, Aria being trapped in the box (don't mean it like THAT, though). There were other things (creepy) things I thought about as well.

- The Lady Vanishes
  
  In one scene, someone asks Aria her name but cannot hear her answer because of a noise, so she writes it on the fogged window of the train, then subsequently goes missing. These plot points are all from the Hitchcock film The Lady Vanishes.
