Pretty Little Liars Clues: Marlene King Tweets Creepy "A"-related Pics (PHOTO)

You can’t have Pretty Little Liars without “A,” and you can’t have “A” without a number of things: black hoodies, black gloves, creepy dolls, and maybe an insane asylum or two. Nobody knows this better than PLL showrunner Marlene King. And based on her recent tweets, we can expect more of the same (with a bit of a twist) in the second half of Season 3.

First up, Marlene tweeted a photo of black gloves. Correction: It’s a photo of many black gloves. Like, we’re talking 15 pairs or more. Our first thought gives us chills: Are there enough hands on the “A” team to fill all those gloves? Could the Season 3 winter season include many, many more reveals?

Or perhaps Toby (Keegan Allen) and Mona (Janel Parrish) prefer to buy in bulk? Even psychotic people have to love a sale, right? Plus, if and when they ask random people (cough, Lucas [Brendan Robinson]) for help, they’ll need to have some spare gloves to help with both the scary factor and the fingerprints thing.

So now we know that the “A” team has a large quantity of gloves, but what else does it keep in its lair?

Marlene’s second tweet involves one very old and not-so-cute baby doll. What should we take away from this photo? Could this doll belong to someone on the show? Mona, perhaps? One of the Liars?

Could the Liars find themselves in another doll shop? It would have to be an antique one to find this particular doll in the window. Perhaps this is a clue about the age of one of the “A” team members?

One thing you have to love is that, as unpredictable as the “A” team is, they still have their traditions. If only they weren’t so creepy. Then again, what fun would that be?

Catch the return of PLL Season 3 on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.
