Though the cover touts this as a Halloween spectacular, not every entry is Halloween themed, or at least trying to spook the reader. I’ll count the Sabrina the Teenage Witch stories as Halloween and there’s a couple of science fiction type entries. So, with those adding to the action Halloween tales, just over 50% of this Betty and Veronica Double Digest is actually Halloween related.
There is one all-new tale in which the girls
put on a Halloween party in a reputed haunted house. It was a two-parter and
was actually a little spooky. However, most of the scary tales end up like an
episode of Scooby Doo, with the Archie gang pulling the mask off of a monster
and it turns out to be some obscure character that you only saw for a second in
the beginning. And he would’ve gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those pesky
kids!
For an Archie Comics tale,
it wasn’t that bad. But, if you’re going to title some a Halloween issue, I’d
expect at least 95% of the tales to be Halloween-like in some way.
Worth Consuming.
