Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 24: Fear the Funhouse #1

Pre-teen Archie and his fellow Adventure Scouts are telling scary stories while camping in Fear the Funhouse #1 from Archie Horror. The first story is "Suburban Legend" while the second story is "Snack Attack". The final and best story is "Whatever Happened To Dilton?".

There are two different covers with Archie, Jughead, Reggie, Betty and Veronica being on both covers (they look older on Cover B):

I like the fact that Archie Horror treats the back cover as if it was just as important as the front cover:

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 14: Chilling Adventures of Salem One-Shot

Chilling Adventures of Salem #1 is a one-shot special from Archie Horror. There are two covers with Cover A by Dan Schoening and Matt Herms while Cover B by Francesco Francavilla. The story is appropriate for Halloween and I think Salem should get his own series since I love talking black cats.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 10: Afterlife With Archie Magazine Covers

Afterlife With Archie Magazine ran for four issues in 2014 and 2015. It collects the original comic book series where several residents of Riverdale turn into zombies along with all new special features. All four covers are by Franceso Francavilla and either have Archie, Jughead or both featured on them.

Countdown to Halloween 2020 Day 23: Madam Satan #1

I'll admit that I have yet to read all of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or watched any episodes of the Netflix's series with the same name. However, I had to read Madam Satan #1 and I'm so glad that I did. This is a very good one-shot issue from Archie Horror and I highly recommend picking it up while you can. Madame Satan #1 was released on October 21, 2020 so you might still find a copy at your local comic book shop.

For those who don't know, Madam Satan actually made her first appearance on the cover of Pep Comics #15 (May 1941) published by MLJ Comics, which eventually became Archie Comics. She didn't actually appear inside until #16 and her series lasted until #21. A certain teenager named Archie Andrews replaced her in Pep Comics #22. A second version of her with the name Madame Satan appeared in The Fox #1 (October 2013) from Dark Circle Comics (formerly Red Circle Comics). She returned a year later with the original spelling of her name in the last pages Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #1 (October 2014). Michelle Gomez portrays her on the Netflix series.

There are actually two different covers. The regular cover is by Julius Onta while the variant cover is by Robert Hack (I'm partial to Onta's cover):

There is Madam Satan pinup by Francesco Francavilla:

Even the back cover of Madam Satan #1 will make you shiver:

In case your wondering, 2020 marks the fifth anniversary of Archie Horror.
