Spooky Trashy Friday: PLL Halloween Special and Freak Out

PLL Halloween Special

Omg we have been waiting for this to come out ever since Mona was murdered. (She will be missed!) Now the cast from PLL answers lots of questions and reveals a lot of juicy secrets. The main 5 girls were really surprised on how the show took off and its popularity. They talk about the costumes they've worn in Halloween episodes and they were so cool. Their costume designer does an amazing job! Then they talk about the guys! The Ezra-Aria relationship is really cool and the actors have amazing chemistry. Troian and Keegan are best friends as well, and Troian considers him like a brother. It is also shown that the writers of the show try their best to listen to the fans. They love to take favorite characters and make them evil. (Even the actors enjoy that part and it is awesome to see how passionate the cast is about the show.)  PLL gives a great example of how good friends can help get you through everything. The girls always tell each other what they think, like real girls who have been friends forever. 

This episode also interviews the people who create the sets. They do a really good job of creating suspense and giving the set personality.  They said they make sure to put a hidden A in as many scenes as possible to remind you that A is always watching. (Such as when the girls were trapped in the burning lodge- the fire created an A shape along the edges of the building. Omg this is so cool and I absolutely love it!) Sasha discusses being buried alive 3 times during the show (and Andrea, Mrs. DiLaurentis, adds that the graves they lay in are actually 6 feet deep!). Also, the creepy elements with the dolls and the creepy characters, so good. (Seriously, I’m loving PLL even more haha!) Then they touch on the characters who have died. The cast loves how when someone dies, they really don’t go away due to flashbacks. The writers have revealed that they are bringing in a new character to stir things up with Spencer. The writers also say they will reveal who A is before the start of the 7th season (!!!!!). We got a sneak peak at the Christmas episode, and while I was disappointed before that they chose a Christmas episode rather than the traditional Halloween one, I think this looks really good.  Well, this just makes me more excited for the Christmas special and makes me love PLL more!

Freak Out: Part 1

This show is just like Scare Tactics, so I just knew that it would be fun for Halloween. For the first prank, Katrina pranks her sister, Chelsea, by giving her a free hair treatment that is going to go terribly. The actresses freak Chelsea out by pretending that the treatment burns their scalps and makes their hair fall out. Chelsea orders the stylists to rise her treatment out right away, so they grab clumps of fake hair and show it to her as if it were hers. Katrina starts screaming from the back where she was getting a "free massage," so Chelsea runs to her and discovers her hair has all fallen out (and, naturally, Chelsea screams and heads back to the sink to save her own hair instead of helping her sister haha!), After she starts freaking out and crying they reveal that she is on Freak Out. 

Shelbi pulls a prank on her friend, Nikki, because she ditched Shelbi and backed out of a plan for matching tattoos. So it’s payback time.  Some guy tries to hit on Nikki at the party and jokes that it would be awesome if he pushed the host into the pool, with which Nikki agrees The guy pushes the host into the pool, who is holding a plugged in radio and is then "electrocuted;" he gets out of the pool and makes all the other electronics and lights go crazy by standing next to them. (Some of these pranks go too far!) The guy that was hitting on Nikki blames her for the incident and she is on her way out when they reveal it was a prank. 

Jeff pulls a prank on his freeloading son, Javen. (Javen deserves this haha.) Javen goes to help out at a place that deals with bugs of some sort, and the one gel who is there has been "bitten" by a mystery bug and isn't feeling well. She shows her massive bug bite and they have a doctor come check it out; he asks Javen to help him drain the fluid from the bite, but when he cuts into the bump a bunch of cockroach-like bugs crawl out. (This prank is disgusting, I didn’t like it at all.) 

The next prank involves a stalker, a really creepy concept.  Mara is the target this time, Chelsea is pranking her because she's a messy roommate. They go to a random mansion for a party and one of the girls there explains how a guy she doesn't know has been calling and texting her creepy things. He sends them a picture of themselves inside the house, then he is illuminated sanding outside the window, watching them. The guy confronts them inside the house (!!!) and they reveal that she’s on a show. (So, Mara barely freaked out when the girls thought a stranger was watching them and dying to get inside... She seemed a bit like a stereotypical party girl without much concern for their safety!) 

Enrique gets pranked by Yolimar because he calls her a baby all the time. (Get new friends?) He and the guy he works with hear noises and such like someone is in this building with them. The "robbers" are there with pantyhose on their heads looking for money. (Haha, this is just silly.) The robbers find the guys, and while Enrique is offering them all the money he has on him they reveal that he is on the show.  

Katy gets pranked just because her friend Michelle feels like scaring her as a going away present. (Haha, the best reason of all!) She starts work in a museum kind of place and weird things start happening as she is left alone. A "ghost" appears and disappears in the hall where Katy can clearly see him.  

This show is very fun, the pranks are not very realistic but they're still fun.

Freak Out: Part 2

Alyssa is being pranked by Felicia because Alyssa toilet papered her house. They perform an exorcist prank.  Alyssa goes to a teen home thinking she will be helping some of the kids there. After visiting with a girl, she starts screaming. So the priest thinks that she is possessed and performs an exorcism. (Haha, when it's revealed she's on the show, the girl is  like "Why are you freaked out?" and Alyssa says "Because you need jesus!") 

Next is the photo booth prank! They have a free photo booth at a beach to scare people. (To be honest, it was the best prank they did on the show.)

Heather is being pranked by Erin because she had her friend think her car was stolen. (That’s not funny...) So Heather is brought to a nail salon and she goes in alone while Erin gets a smoothie. The pregnant lady sitting next to Heather in the salon starts to feel ill and she starts to feel pain. Heather is being really nice to the pregnant lady and offers to hold her hand to help her through the pain. Now the baby is really moving around and her water breaks. The baby's hand stretches out the side of the woman's stomach. (I wasn’t a fan of this one either. Haha, but Heather wasn’t that scared and asked why Erin didn’t bring her a smoothie.) 

Ashton is being pranked because he convinced Ashley, his twin sister, that she was fired from her job. (He isn’t very nice.) They do a levitation prank at a restaurant. Their waiter gets fired by the manager and he gets angry and starts making things move with his mind, yells, and breaks things.  After it is revealed, her brother was laughing and he swore a bit. 

Jessica and Ayanna prank Jasmine because she always scares them when they are in the shower. They are at a wedding and the father of the bride is pushy and complains about everything.  Jasmines goes to steam the dress and ruins it when she gets brown stuff on it from the steamer. The bride finds the stain and tells her dad. (This makes him so mad!) Then they reveal that she is on the show and Jasmine laughs about it. 

Next they do a Men in Black mind erasing prank in an elevator. (It is really funny when one guy just flat out runs away from them!) 


Jaeda is being pranked by Mara, her mother, because she is an ungrateful brat. She gets a job at a mausoleum and she sets up flowers. Things break and move at the place. More things happen as an actor breaks the urn that belonged to recently deceased person. When the girl’s father comes and he notices that the urn was broken, he said a ghost seemed to be disturbed, because she was put with other people's ashes and she didn’t play well with others. Jaeda was scared by this, she and her mother cried.
