ABC Family’s “Pretty Little Liars” spinoff, “Ravenswood,” begins its run without the push of its sister show on Tuesday night. And, the executive producers are intent on letting it establish its own world.

“What became clear to both us and ABC Family is that there was a real hunger on the part of the audience for stories that pushed the boundaries of the supernatural, and were frankly a little more scary,” Dougherty told TheWrap of “Ravenswood’s” roots in “PLL’s” Halloween specials.

“We’re going to try to feed that beast as best we can by telling more supernatural stories — the kind we couldn’t tell on Rosewood,” he said.
