THR: How was it different filming the Ravenswood portions?
Allen: Cinematically when we shot Ravenswood, the emphasis was on the fact that it was this gray, old, spooky, creepy town. They put me and Troian [Bellisario] in very bright colors. I think we were in blue and green. We stick out and when we were shooting that you could really see that cinematically we stuck out from everybody else in the town. Everybody had very drab, earthy colors. Seeing it now color-corrected with the filters, it's really spooky. Mrs. Grunswald (Meg Foster) is very creepy too. It's just a creepy town. Everybody in it, they had a characteristic that was a throwback to old Hollywood classic horror movies.
THR: What was it like being one of the first characters to venture into that town?
Allen: It was exciting. [Ravenswood] is more than a spinoff. It's like what's going on in another town at the same town. It's sort of like Pretty Little Liars but there's a subset within Pretty Little Liars that fans can salivate over now. To go there and see it all in full production was incredible. Some of those scenes felt massive when we were shooting them.
THR: It was nice to see Toby and Spencer working together again. Will that continue for the foreseeable future?
Allen: Yes, you'll see that. There is also other issues that she helps him with and that he helps her with. Everybody teams up at one point or another. In next week's episode, Caleb and Toby kind of team up and it makes for an interesting altercation.
THR: How would you characterize their "working" dynamic?
Allen: Normally you see these characters with their girlfriends and this now we get to see a glimpse of them sans girlfriends, just completely free to be their own entity and on their own roads.
