Christmas, or rather Halloween, came early for Pretty Little Liars fans today! ABC Family released a preview clip from the show’s upcoming Halloween special on Sept. 10, and it’s really good — unless you’re a fan of Noel Kahn (Brant Daugherty), who ends up writhing on the floor as the video fades to black.

Knowing Noel, there’s a pretty good chance he’s just messing with the girls; but then again, knowing “A,” there’s also a good chance Noel’s near-death experience is all-too-real.

The clip also features a haunting interaction between Toby (Keegan Allen) and Spencer (Troian Bellisario) — haunting, of course, because we she has no idea Toby is really “A” — as well as a moment of speculation between Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Aria (Lucy Hale).

So how can you check the clip out for yourself? Why, I’m glad you asked: Just go to Pretty Little Liars‘ official Facebook page and follow the simple instructions. You’ll have to “like” the new movie Pitch Perfect, but honestly, it’s an awesome movie and you should probably “like” it anyway!

Drop me a comment once you’ve seen the clip: Do you think Noel is playing one of his classic practical jokes, or could his life really be in danger?

There’s a new Kahn in Rosewood, and while he doesn’t boast Noel’s (Brant Daugherty) other-worldly eyebrows, he definitely benefitted from the family’s excellent genes. Robbie Amell will play Noel’s older brother Eric on the Aug. 7 episode of Pretty Little Liars, ABC Family has confirmed to HollywoodLife.com, though that doesn’t mean we won’t be seeing him again in the future.

And Robbie, 24, is clearly feeling at home on the show’s set, as the stars have publicly welcomed him with loving tweets.

“Everyone welcome @robbieamell to the show,” Lucy Hale tweeted June 19. ”Guess who he’s playing ?”

“Everybody welcome @RobbieAmell to the PLL cast,” Brant tweeted. “Do it. No seriously, do it.”

Troian Bellisario even Instagrammed the first shot of Robbie on set — thanks Troian! — with the caption, “The Kahns…double the creep.”

If you’re a young’n, you probably know Robbie from his starring role on Nickelodeon’s True Jackson, V.P., and for playing a non-blond Fred in Cartoon Network’s Scooby Doo movies. If you’re an “adult,” however, you’ll recognize him as Charlotte’s douchey pre-Declan boyfriend on ABC’s Revenge.

Are you excited for Robbie’s arrival in Rosewood? (I am!) What do you think Noel’s older brother is really up to? (No good, duh!) Drop your thoughts and theories in the comments section!

Alison’s mom roped the girls into helping out with the annual charity fashion show on the July 19 episode of Pretty Little Liars – and in true Rosewood form, it didn’t take long for the night to turn into a complete disaster.

Just when the fashion show seemed to be going off without a hitch, the giant photo of Alison on the screen went up in (digital) flames. “The bitch is back” came over the loudspeaker, while fun words like “bitch” and “monster” appeared over Alison’s hellish, burning face.

So who’s to blame for the Final Cut faux-pax? Aria (Lucy Hale) seemed like the obvious culprit, since she put the slideshow together herself, but my money’s on the no-good DJ, Noel (Brant Daugherty.) Seriously, why are the pretty ones always so damn evil?

But to be fair, the kids aren’t the only evil-doers on the show. Spencer (Troian Bellisario) kept a close watch over her dad during the entire episode, taking note of his super-suspicious behavior around Alison’s mom. She caught him yelling at her twice — both times involved him shouting about “taking care” of Jason (Drew Van Acker) — and both times, he made up a lie to ease Spencer’s troubled mind.

And speaking of troubled minds, Hanna (Ashley Benson) didn’t know what to think when her dad decided to stick around for a few extra days to spend time with her and her mom (Laura Leighton.) There was a time when she hoped they’d get back together, but now things have gotten a little more complicated.

Ezra (Ian Harding) was MIA this week, leaving Aria plenty of time to continue falling madly in love with Jason 2.0. And while she may not be ready to vocalize her feelings just yet, her flirty text messages and lingering stares say more than words ever could.

What did YOU think of this week’s episode? Should Aria ditch Ezra and go out with Jason? Did ‘A’ hire Noel to make the twisted slideshow for the fashion show? And why the heck was ‘A’ shopping for boots at the very end? Drop us a comment with your thoughts!

If you thought “Who is A?” was an epic mystery, I’ve got an even bigger head-scratcher for you: Why the heck isn’t Pretty Little Liars nominated for a single Teen Choice Award? I expected the ABC Family hit to dominate the list of nominees, but was shocked to see it completely left off the ballot! Did “A” have something to do with this?

Here’s a list of awards the show should be nominated for:

1. Choice TV Show, Drama:

With the exception of The Vampire Diaries, I can’t think of a more intense teen-centric show on TV today. For God’s sake, the dramatic head-turning alone probably requires an on-set medic at all times! Whiplash is a serious condition, you guys.

2. Choice TV Actress, Drama:

Any of the main four girls would be worthy of this nomination, but I’d like to particularly shine a spotlight on Troian Bellisario and Shay Mitchell.

Emily’s coming-out story, a major part the show’s first season, was one of the most talked-about aspects of the show, applauded by critics and special interest groups alike. Do teens have something against hot lesbians in swimming caps?

As for Spencer, dear voters, I have but four words for you: “I. Will. Destroy. Her.” Best line ever. Case closed. Moving on…

3. Choice TV Actor, Drama:

The girls may get the most screen-time on the show, but there are also some pretty terrific male actors in Rosewood. Take Keegan Allen, for example. Toby’s gone from creepy to cuddly over the course of the series, all the while handled brilliantly by Keegan. Come on, your character doesn’t become a weekly Twitter trend for nothing.

There’s also Ian Harding, whose eyes alone could earn him a nomination. No one does that “I’m being romantic, but also I’m terrified of going to prison” stare quite like Mr. Fitz.

4. Choice Villain:

Justin Bieber on CSI? Let’s get serious now. Ryan Merriman had us on the edge of our seats all seasons as murderous golf-enthusiast Ian, and Tammin Sursok continues to creep me out on a weekly basis as not-so-blind Jenna. (Her little flute song serves as the soundtrack to my nightmares!) Either one of those actors would make a fine nominee.

5. Choice Hotties:

You can’t throw a rock in Rosewood without hitting someone worthy of this particular award. Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Tyler Blackburn, Brant Daugherty – any of them would make fine nominees, and that’s just the tip of the show’s beautiful iceberg.

So what’s the verdict, HollywoodLifers? Do you think “A” had something to do with Pretty Little Liars‘ epic snub?

Aria’s gentlemen come face-to-handsome-face Jan. 17! Who will be left standing?

OK, there’s a chance I over-dramatized tonight’s episode of Pretty Little Liars just a tad, but Noel Kahn (Brant Daugherty) does continue blackmailing Ezra (Ian Harding) to get better grades. In the book series, Noel’s plan gets Ezra fired from Rosewood High School pretty quickly — but fortunately Ian Harding told HollywoodLife.com exclusively that he ideally sees himself on the show for seasons to come. So be sure to watch tonight’s episode with your fingers crossed!
