Spooktober: Archie meets Scarlet Night (1999)

From Archie's Weird Mysteries:

The producers introduced a teenage vampire named Scarlet in a three part arc near the end of the series' run. We've given you the last two chapters in reverse order, so, having done that, here's Scarlet's debut, "Scarlet Night":



I've mentioned that Scarlet did appear in a couple of issues of the comics version of the series, which made one think that Archie Comics was looking to expand its roster. In chapter 2, Veronica was turned into a vampire for only that episode, and, earlier this year, Archie Comics decided to do a series with Ronnie as Vampironica, in a completely different continuity to other Archie titles.

Unfortunately, Scarlet, after being written out of the series, was never heard from again, as there wouldn't be a spin-off book, but who knows? Maybe editor Alex Segura has plans for her after all.....

No rating.
