ABC Family has released a delightfully creepy teaser for the upcoming debut of Ravenswood.

The station's latest original series, Ravenswood was born from the success of Pretty Little Liars. Using one of Liars main characters as a launching point, the drama takes the troubled Caleb Rivers (Tyler Blackburn) and moves him from Rosewood to the more sisterly titled Ravenswood. Once there, the teen finds himself caught up in a multi-generational curse with four total strangers.

Rivers, a foster child, will be joined by fellow foster Miranda Collins (Nicole Anderson), Remy Beaumont (Britne Oldford), Luke Matheson (Brett Dier) and his twin sister Olivia Matheson (Merritt Patterson). All with tragic back stories - from foster care to the recent murder of the twin's father - this unlikely group of 17-year-olds will have to fight to make sure they survive to see 18.

The new teaser sets up the background for the curse without giving too much away. Five other teens appear to have died, all on the same day, sometime in the past. Somehow our heroes are unwittingly connected to the deaths and it seems the supernatural is out to get them too.

From mysterious bloodstains to decaying hands reaching out from the darkness, the new series promises to give you the chills just before Halloween. Perhapse if the teens stoped hanging around a cemetary all the time...

Ravenswood premieres on Oct. 22 after the Pretty Little Liars Halloween Special.
