It’s going to take me a while to comprehend what I just watched, but all I know is that this show is not playing around. I can’t get over the fact that Miranda is dead! Some weird Final Destination stuff is definitely going on and why is it always 5? So many questions.

How creepy is Miranda’s uncle Raymond? He could just be standing there and I get the chills. It was really nice of Raymond though to invite Caleb back to the house since Caleb didn’t have anywhere else to go. I think Raymond inviting him to stay had ulterior motives, but it was nice none the less. Raymond creeps me out, but Mrs. Grunwald creeps me out even more. Why did Mrs. Grunwald ask Caleb if he called Hanna? Why would she care? There has to be something going on there and why did Mrs. Grunwald ask Raymond, “When you went to the hospital, how many bodies did you expect to find?” Raymond and Mrs. Grunwald are so shady. I think they know something about the curse. They have to, right?

I don’t know what’s going on, but I do know that something is going after the rest of the group and will not stop at nothing until they are all dead. If the curse was supposed to get all 5, why did it just get Miranda? All I know is that the curse must be stopped. But how? Luke was almost choked to death while lifting weights and the dog at the junk yard almost attacked Remy after being mysteriously let out of the van. Which by the way, Caleb, that was very cruel to lock a dog in a car. I know, I know, it was trying to attack you. You’re forgiven this time. The curse was going after them, one by one. Who will be next?

Just like their kids, the parents were having their own problems. Remy’s father was incredibly determined to keep Remy away from Luke and Luke’s mother felt the exact same way. I’m going to need some answers there, because it seems like there’s something else going on there. Mrs. Matheson was having her own issues. Luke found out that his parents were having marital problems before his death and his mother might have been having an affair. Oh, did I mention that Luke’s father was the Mayor of Ravenswood? Something fishy is going on there.

Of course to freak me out even more, Miranda shows up at the end! I freaked out all episode long about her dying and she shows up after Caleb read the letter from her mom. How is it possible that Miranda is still around? Miranda is dead! I know it’s a creepy town, but still. I barely knew Miranda, but I was still felt sad for her. She was stuck and really scared. I did get a little teary eyed when Caleb apologized to Miranda for not being able to save her. That dream that Caleb had, had to be Miranda trying to get through to him. They barely knew each other, but the bond they share is interesting.

So, what did you guys think of the episode? Are you hooked yet? Or do you need a little more convincing? Who do you think the curse will get next? If the curse is getting everyone one by one, who will be left at the end of the season? Sound off below.

While Pretty Little Liars has that mystery element to the show, I loved that Ravenswood has that supernatural flare to it. I didn’t think I could enjoy a show like that but I did. I’m just so intrigued and cannot wait to learn more about this curse and what everyone in this creepy town is hiding.

We were first introduced to Miranda in the Pretty Little Liars Halloween special before the airing of the Ravenswood pilot. Miranda met Caleb on a bus going to Ravenswood, where she was going to surprise her uncle Raymond. Maybe not such a bright idea considering it didn’t look like Raymond was the type of guy who enjoys a surprise of that magnitude. Raymond runs a funeral home, so the creep factor is set in right there. Miranda wanted answers from her uncle Raymond. Why did he leave her with strangers after her parents death? Raymond seemed to be hiding something also. Carla Grunwald, who works at the funeral home gives off such a freaky vibe but kind of sweet at the same time. I don’t really watch Pretty Little Liars anymore, but I’m sure if you’ve watched PLL before, you’ve seen her character. She knew a lot more than she was letting on about Miranda’s family. I’m looking forward to the development of that storyline.

I’m not sure about any of you guys, but if I saw my face on a tombstone with my exact name, I’m pretty sure I’d be a total nutcase. The freakiest was when the tombstones disappeared. Could it have been Raymond, Miranda’s uncle that got rid of them? I really don’t know what to think. I really do enjoy the friendship between Caleb and Miranda throughout all this craziness. They have good chemistry. I don’t get a love interest vibe, but more of a brother and sister thing going on. That’s good, because Caleb is still with Hanna and I don’t want anything ruining that.

Next we met Remy. I’m really liking Remy, but her father, not so much. Simon is the editor and chief of the town newspaper and is obviously hiding something. Creepy and keeping secrets are quite a theme in this town of Ravenswood.

The last 2 main characters are Olivia and Luke. Their father was killed and their mother is the main suspect. Luke believed his mother actually killed his father, and Olivia disagrees. You thought your family had issues? Remy and Luke are a couple but there seemed to be a strain there. It was quite obvious that Remy’s father, Simon didn’t want Remy interacting with Luke. Remy’s mother was back from Afghanistan after her unit was attacked and she was the only survivor. Remy’s mother was obviously dealing with survivors guilt but she didn’t seem to have an issue with Luke. I really like Remy and Luke. I totally ship them. Lemy FTW!

I didn’t know it was possible to have such a creepy yet hot scene, but Ravenswood accomplished just that. That bathtub scene with Caleb was intense. The shower curtain tried to kill him! Seriously? Caleb told Miranda that her uncle tried to kill him, but we didn’t see anyone smothering Caleb with the shower curtain. What is going on with this house? This town? That being said, if the writers feel like giving Benjamin Price, the high school teacher played by the gorgeous Justin Bruening a bathtub scene, I would not be opposed to it.

“Maybe it was the wind.” – Caleb

“This wind had hands.” – Miranda

Thanks to Remy, we learned how Caleb and Miranda’s relatives died. They died on the same day in a boating accident. 5 people died in total that day. They died a week after a Ravenswood soldier had come home from the war after miraculously surviving an ambush. Sound familiar?

“Once just happens to you. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”

Now I really need to discuss what’s been eating away at me. Can you believe they ended the premiere that way?! On a cliffhanger?! Those writers are insane and bold, and I totally admire it.

I have so many questions. Are they all dead?  Who the hell was that girl dressed in black standing in the middle of the street?

Ravenswood definitely has that scary factor and I love it. It’s only one episode in and already loving these characters. The show is shrouded in mystery, and there’s a ton of questions to be answered. I cannot wait to continue watching this show to get some much needed answers.

What did you guys think of the episode? Are you guys hooked yet? Sound off below.
