This is definitely the weirdest story I have read on here in some time LOL. I mean I really like the Afterlife with Archie stuff and what they have been doing with him lately. I mean Archie has always been the geeky cousin of the comic book world. This could either be really surreal and interesting with great writers and actors or totally ridiculous and a nightmare if done wrong. The problem is FOX cancels shows a lot if they don't do well immediately. Here's hoping they get the pilot even made. An Afterlife with Archie special every Halloween would be awesome. As long as the show is NOTHING like Glee or the OC or Dawson's Creek because I hate those shows. If I want to see a show about a bunch of superficial teens talking hip I watch ABC family sitcoms. Dawson's Creek was such a ridiculous show because they talked like college professors and I'm sorry but most teens are not that smart.

Much as I love Afterlife with Archie and new Sabrina, I just cannot see this working in live action.

Really? Because they seem like they would both very much work in live action. Hell, just go look at a Mario Bava movie.

I think this sounds fun. I like the idea of this being sort of a weird town.

Well, there goes my interest in the show.
