From Betty: The Final Girl and Pop's Chock’lit Shoppe of Horrors to Camp Pickens and the recently released Madam Satan, Archie Comics has been delivering the ghoulish goods in their Chilling Adventures Presents... one-shots all year long, and with another Spooky Season upon us, they're continuing their celebration of all things horror with family-friendly frights in their digest comics!
With another festive fall upon us, 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 digest comics! This week, we have an early look at the Ginger Snapp story "Melanie" (which seems to have some eerie inspirations from M3GAN) as well as the story "Masque-Raiding," in which the superhero The Web crashes a costume party while in pursuit of two masked criminals. Both "Melanie" and "Masque-Raiding" are featured in the upcoming Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #318.
As an additional treat, we also have the Betty and Veronica reprint story "Where's the Werewolf?" to read in its entirety, and for those unfamiliar with Ginger Snapp (who is featured in the new one-shot Chilling Adventures Presents... Welcome to Riverdale), we also have a look at her biography page from The Archie Encyclopedia, which I highly recommend for new readers and longtime Archie Comics fans alike.
Below, you can read the preview from Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #318 ahead of its release on October 11th, and be sure to check out our previous Archie Comics Halloween previews as well as our 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:

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.
