Whether its the autumnal chill in the night air or the crunch of freshly fallen leaves underfoot, the signs of another Spooky Season are lurking around every corner, and we're thrilled (and chilled) to once again team up with Archie Comics to provide Daily Dead readers with the weekly treat of exclusive previews from their family-friendly (and festively frightful) digest comics! This week we have an early look at how the ever-resourceful (and always extravagant) Veronica Lodge decides to open a Halloween pop-up store in her own house after her father insists she finds a job.
Written and penciled by Dan Parent with inks by Bob Smith, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and lettering by Jack Morelli, you can check out our exclusive preview of "That's the Spirit!" from Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #328 ahead of its October 2nd release!
As an additional treat, we also have the classic costume party story "The Escort" to read in its entirety, featuring a ghoulish guest who makes for an all-too-real addition to the school's Monster Ball!
Be sure to check out our previous Archie Comics Halloween previews and read the recurring "Archie's House of Horror" column written by Jamie L. Rotante, Senior Director of Editorial and writer at Archie Comics! To learn more about Archie Comics and all of their scary good releases, visit:

Classic Story:
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
