YMMV / Archie Horror

• Complete Monster:
  • Afterlife with Archie: Doctor Howard Lovecraft and his associate, Doctor Arthur Machen, are the seemingly kindly administrators of a hospital for the mentally disturbed. In truth, Lovecraft and Machen are servants of the Great Old Ones, having once tried to master them, but upon realizing the futility of such an act became the willing servants of the dark Outer Gods. They use the patients at the asylum as sacrifices for their masters. and when they realize young Erich Zann can use his music to repel them, they cut his fingers off and leave him to be taken by the monsters. Finally, revealing their intent to allow all humanity to become food or slaves to the Old Ones, they offer Sabrina the Teenage Witch as the bride to great Cthulhu himself.
  • Jughead: The Hunger: This interpretation of Reggie Mantle proves to be a far cry from his mainstream counterpart. After nearly being killed by a transformed Jughead, Reggie discovers that he gained the powers to transform into a werewolf. Reggie slaughters every doctor in the room before attacking and forcibly turning Veronica, Mr. Weatherbee, Moose, and Cheryl into werewolves, convincing them to form a pact with the goal of killing Jughead. Reggie has Jellybean, Jughead's younger sister, kidnapped, and sends a message to Jughead that if he doesn't come to their hideout, she'll be killed. Having his pack attack and viciously murder countless innocents of Riverdale while waiting for him, when Jughead arrives, Reggie and his pact attack him, and try to force-feed Jughead the innards of their slaughtered victims, Reggie threatening to feed Jughead's own sister to him next. While fighting Jughead, Reggie boasts about how he's embraced being a werewolf and that he takes pleasure in preying on the weak. Reggie then tells Jughead that after he kills him, he'll kill Jellybean anyway, and then hunt down and kill every family member of Jughead's, all to spite him.
  • Vampironica: Sir Francis Lodge is an elder vampire and ancestor of the Lodge family. A privateer in the 1580s, Francis attacked ships to slaughter all the crews to feed himself until his crew committed mutiny. Washing up on what would be Riverdale, Francis killed multiple natives and then settlers, fighting a bloody war with the werewolves before being supposedly killed. Returning in present day to hunt down Veronica and drain her, Francis is willing to slaughter any teenager in his path.
  • Chilling Adventures Presents...
    • Betty: The Final Girl's "Be Mine Or Die": The unnamed Serial Killer has stalked and murdered 9 girls throughout Riverdale in a variety of ways, from poisoning them to burning them alive. Sending a message to his latest target, Brigitte Reilly, the killer breaks into her home when she's alone and hunts her down. Upon catching Brigitte, the killer ties her to a chair, ecstatic to torture Brigitte to death with a knife in order to "make her his Valentine".
    • Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe of Horrors: Pop Tate proves to be far more sinister than his mainline counterpart. Regularly having citizens of Riverdale kidnapped and murdered, Pop uses their corpses for dishes to serve to cannibalisic humans and monsters alike. If an employee does a poor job serving the monstrous out-of-towners, Pop allows them to murder and feast on said employee. After attempted dine-and-dashers Nick and Sherry work off the money they owe him, Pop rips out their souls and traps them in coins for the jukebox, having inflicted the same fate to several other teens who crossed paths with him.
• Magnificent Bastard: Far craftier than his mainstream counterpart, Jughead’s affable cousin, Bingo Wilkins, works for the sake of FP Jones to get his family to embrace their werewolf sides. Upon finding out that Jughead awakened his lycanthropy, Bingo fakes his own death to get the Coopers off his tail, allowing him to keep an eye on his cousin. Sabotaging Jughead when he tries to live a peaceful life at the circus, Bingo attempts to sway Jughead to his side, triggering Jughead’s werewolf transformation when Jughead rejects his offer to teach his cousin how to hunt. After saving Jughead’s life when they’re ambushed by Archie and the Coopers, Bingo later attempts to bring Jellybean to FP. To buy time for this, he triggers Jughead’s werewolf state and has him attack Archie and Betty, allowing Bingo to reach Jellybean and successfully convince her to come with him. Slipping himself and his family out of one grim scenario after another, Bingo almost always has a trick up his sleeve.
