Pretty Little Liars: Summer School: RAS Posts Bloody Rose Look, Prayer

Pretty Little Liars: Summer School's Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa posted a disturbing new look (and "prayer") at the season big bad, Bloody Rose.

Earlier this month, fans were treated to some pretty impressive early looks at Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring's Pretty Little Liars: Summer School – though if we had to choose, we would say that the image of the season's new villain Bloody Rose was what really stood out. But just to make sure that you appreciate what Bailee Madison, Malia Pyles, Maia Reficco, Chandler Kinney & Zaria-starring season's new villain is bringing to the game, then look no further than a new preview image posted by Aguirre-Sacasa – along with a disturbing little "prayer."

"Hail, Rose, full of spite, the blood is with you. Cursed are you amongst women and cursed is the fruit of your womb, Archie and Angela. Unholy Rose, Mother of Lies, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our deaths. Amen. 🩸🌹🔥👗🎭💄💋🕷️👠💃🏽☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️" wrote Aguirre-Sacasa as the caption to the post that included a very bloody, very face-to-face look at Bloody Rose (and don't forget to check out the emojis for some clues):

"The scares are a bit bigger and badder and bolder. We do have a new a new villain who possibly is connected to Archie Waters, as we'll learn early on in episode 1. One of our favorite franchises this season is SpookySpaghetti.com. Roberto and I and our writers are all very obsessed with Creepypasta, so we love sort of having our own website," Bring shared during an exclusive interview with Cosmopolitan. "And this horror villain is going to test every one of the girls, and they'll go on their own personal journey."

"Our villain is a female figure of horror, which is something we really wanted to explore in our female-centered horror show. We also wanted our villain to feel quite apocalyptic and terrifying," Aguirre-Sacasa shared. "And because most of our season is set during summer—besides taking inspiration from our favorite slashers—we wanted it to feel a little more apocalyptic, like something like 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre' or even 'Midsommar.' There's a lot of really horrific imagery tied to movies like that, and we wanted to tap into those a little bit. And we also knew we had to make a villain scarier than A, and it was pretty scary in season 1." Bring added, "The mythology of the look of her face is very tied to into the mythology of the show, and that's something that will reveal a bit later in the season."

As far as those new faces go for Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, they include Antonio Cipriano's (National Treasure: Edge of History) Johnny, "a self-professed player who works alongside Imogen at Millwood's Ice Creamery," who has eyes for Imogen (Madison). Ava Capri's (Do Revenge) Jen is Noa's (Reficco) former juvenile detention cellmate who reunites with her during summer school – resulting in "messy drama both personal and criminal." Noah Alexander Gerry's (Station 19)  Christian is described as "a smart, charming New York City transplant" who becomes Tabby's (Kinney) co-worker at the Orpheum – but it's not long before "a romance right out of a (horror) movie" develops. Loretta Ables Sayre's (Magnum P.I.) Lola is Mouse's grandmother, now living with her in Millwood for the summer. But things don't remain peaceful for long when Mouse discovers her grandmother getting "a little too invested in a Creepypasta-like online community."
