Things are getting weird in Riverdale!Archie's Weird Mysteries is an animated adaptation of the Archie comic book, produced by DiC Entertainment and Les Studios Tex. The series ran for forty episodes from October 1999 to February 2000, and unlike the usual, mundane Slice of Life stories that the cast is known for having, the show goes in a more supernatural direction. Thanks to a failed science experiment done in the Riverdale High physics lab, the town has become a huge Weirdness Magnet for a host of monsters, ghosts and other paranormal or extraterrestrial activity. Which is all fine by Archie, who happily hunts down and reports on all these strange anomalies for the school newspaper, while his friends find themselves equally involved in the madness, whether they want to be or not. While the show would occasionally delve into some dark territory, its tone would never go much further than the likes of other lighthearted Horror Comedy programming like Goosebumps (1995), with episodes deliberately involving a schlock B-Movie atmosphere.In 2002, an animated movie called The Archies in Jugman was released. Featuring the gang having to deal with a frozen caveman who gets thawed out and has an uncanny resemblance to Jughead, the film has most of this show's cast and crew return to reprise their roles.The entire series is available on DVD from Cookie Jar as of February 2012.Can be found on the streaming service Pluto TV in rotation on the Afternoon Kids channel. It's likewise on Tubi as well.Is now available for streaming alongside The New Archies on Paramount+. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: In "A Haunting in Riverdale", the former head librarian is haunting the town. Jughead remembers said librarian as the one who bullied and scared him away from the library, when she yelled at him for playing with the globe, told him a book that interested him wasn't for little boys, and finally yelled at him to be quiet because he was laughing. However, when the ghost is asked what happened, she presents a different version. She did come up and tell him to stop playing with the globe because it almost fell down on him. She did take away a book he wanted to read because it was falling apart and needed to be repaired. And she finally did admit to telling him to be quiet because he was making too much noise. | |

The Sociopath: Vinnie Wells of the time travel arc is a self-absorbed punk who can only think about satisfying his petty hungers. While he initially starts off as a petty crook using Dilton's time travel device to rob a bank (and repeatedly turns back time whenever he sets off the bank's alarm, which he always does because he never changes how he tries to break in), after thirty years in jail his older future self becomes obsessed with doing anything and everything he can to get revenge on Archie for foiling him. Vinnie proves he doesn't care if he destroys Riverdale or unravels the fabric of time and space, he'll do anything to wipe out the people he blames for his own mistakes. | |

Death by Materialism | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_1b7d59b6 | comment |
Death by Materialism: The villain of "Mega-Mall of Horrors" was a man who made a Deal with the Devil to sate his material desires. The ending, where he and his mall are pulled underground for losing all his victims, implies the devil came to collect him instead. "Ship of Ghouls" nearly had this happen to Reggie due to a curse on a treasure if not for Archie and Betty pulling him away from it. Not so much for the zombie pirates who returned to claim their treasure and were so consumed by greed that they burned with the treasure when it fell into a lava fissure. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: Betty is convinced that Gleebo, the cute little alien of "Extra Terror-estrials", is like ET The Extraterrestrial, in that he wants to go home and needs to build a transmitter. However, she's hit with the hard truth; Gleebo is a rude, quick tempered thief, the machine he was building wasn't a communicator but a device to hack into security systems and the two ugly alien menaces chasing him were in fact police trying to apprehend him. Guess she saw that movie too many times. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Twice during the vampire arc. After Veronica gets turned into a vampire, she gleefully proposes wanting to feed on Archie, Betty, Reggie, and Jughead... but then immediately backtracks on Jughead if only because the idea is too gross even for her. Scarlet teams up with Archie to turn Veronica back to human, mostly because she's taking up Medlock's attention. But as Scarlet puts it, the idea of spending eternity with Veronica as an ally is too horrible to contemplate. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: "Little Chock'lit Shoppe of Horrors" has a new computer program installed to help run Pop's shop. As you may have guessed, it didn't take long for it to decide humans were the weak link in the system and try to murder several members of the cast. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Vinnie Wells, the main villain in the time-travel saga episodes. After being arrested in "Archie's Date With Fate" for robbing a bank (courtesy from Archie and his time belt), he manages to steal Dilton's time travel device after he was released in prison 30 years later and plotted revenge against Archie Andrews (mentioned in "Alternate Riverdales") and the entire population of Riverdale (added in "Teen Out of Time"). How his hatred all started? Archie refuses to lend him some money for Nachos during his date with Betty and Veronica. In fact the sole reason of his revenge is just because of him not getting Nachos. Ironically, the younger Vinnie would have settled for something like trashing his car instead of the "boring" plan his future self had to boss him into doing. | |

Loving a Shadow | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_516f986d | comment |
Loving a Shadow: In "Cine-madness," Reggie becomes obsessed with teen actress Vanessa Blaze after seeing her in an old horror movie. Unfortunately, he finds out Vanessa died young in a plane crash and he'll never be able to meet her in person (not even considering she'd be much older by now). Reggie goes to witch doctor Lucinda for a spell that could bring Vanessa's character out of the movie and into the real world. This backfires because the movie theater stopped showing the horror flick in question, and began showing a movie where Vanessa played a badass biker woman. The biker is nothing like the girl in the horror flick and she treats Reggie like a slave. This is the least of the problems caused when the monsters from the biker movie escape into the real world as well and start making havoc in Riverdale. | |

Mistaken for Aliens | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_5d074a80 | comment |
Mistaken for Aliens: "The Jughead Incident" has two agents mistaken Jughead as the alien they were after, due to his odd personality. They kidnapped him and demanded answers, they take his obliviousness as Obfuscating Stupidity (when he asked nicely for something to eat, they see it as him giving orders). In the end, they found the real alien, ashamed for their mistake, especially when Jughead was the one to save the day (after the agents failed miserably to attack the real alien). | |

Despite the amount of weird stuff going on in Riverdale, Archie doesn't listen to the girls because they've been acting particularly nasty towards each other and assumes they're trying to slander Dorsa out of jealousy. It isn't until Dorsa reveals her true nature and tries to kidnap him does Archie finally believe Betty and Veronica. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: There are some episodes where Archie or his friends will be blamed for the trouble: Archie buying two dice for his car in "Driven to Destruction" results in his car coming to life and going Yandere on him. "Fleas Release Me" has Reggie dressed as a werewolf and scaring Archie, Betty, and Veronica. The consequence is that the sheriff (who is the real werewolf) takes Reggie into custody for the werewolf attacks around Riverdale. "Attack of the 50ft Veronica" has the titular character of the episode getting herself zapped with the growth ray. Guess what happens? "Green-Eyed Monster" would have Betty and Veronica trying to get rid of Dorsa. Not only the attempts failed, but also Archie losing his trust in them. Veronica is unknowingly responsible for getting Dr. Arachnid the means to defeat Supreme Girl. "Zombies of Love": Veronica accidentally leaving the magic salt that made Archie a love-obsessed zombie at Pop's Choklit Shop (which Pop unknowingly used to flavor some french fries that everyone ate) caused many of Riverdale to become love obsessed zombies over here. In "Little Chocklit Shoppe of Horrors", Dilton gets the Stanley 9000 for Pop's. It ends up terrifying every single customer and nearly kills him, Betty and Veronica. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The plot of "Little Chock'lit Shoppe of Horrors" started due to the Chock'lit Shoppe losing customers to a new restaurant named "Speedy Burger", who uses microwaves to serve food faster. Though the Stanley 9000 helped him regain customers, Speedy Burger ceased to be mentioned, so it isn't seen if they're still a problem after the Chock'lit Shoppe was returned to normal. Though considering they reheat pre-made food with microwaves, they would have probably shutdown. | |

Even if a lot of his inventions wind up setting up the plot somehow, it's because they're irresponsibly used or they malfunction. | |

Plant Aliens: The antagonists of Attack of the Killer Spuds are potato-like aliens who are attracted to people who are distracted somehow. They wrap them up in their vines, trapping them in an entertaining dream (it's implied that the unfortunate humans have to have reached a point of total focus on their task for it to work), and create a copy of them from their vines. While a conscious person can be taken over, they can fight back. | |

Never My Fault | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: The Stanley 9000 of "Little Chock'lit Shoppe of Horrors" has this sort of attitude when it takes things too far. It gets asked to take two practice dummies to the airport in the most efficient way possible in a taxi, it drives off a cliff and ends up destroying the dummies and the taxi. It's programmed to test a new chair that feeds people, it overfeeds Jughead to the point of burying him in burgers and him asking, in clear terror, to be let go. Each time, it states the problem is humans because it can't comprehend that it's putting people in danger and it "never makes mistakes". Vinnie Wells from the time travel arc blames all of his problems on Archie and Riverdale, completely ignoring his own, much bigger, role in them. After being sentenced to thirty years in prison for attempted bank robbery, he vows revenge. With some help from his future self, he rewrites the timeline to turn himself into emperor and Archie into Riverdale's public enemy #1. Still not satisfied, he tries to erase Archie from existence, but ends up apparently earning the same fate as a result. Naturally, he blames Archie again. The third time, he brings back a T-Rex to eat his hated enemy and the rest of Riverdale. At no point does he admit his own fault in any of this. | |

"Something is Haunting Riverdale High" had Archie, Dilton, Midge, and Ethel turned invisible and they were in another plane of existence. | |

A Day in the Limelight | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Day in the Limelight: "Something is Haunting Riverdale High" focuses on Dilton building a device that ends up phasing himself, Archie, Midge, and Big Ethel into another plane of existence, basically turning them intangible and invisible. The episode reveals more about Midge and Ethel beyond Midge simply being Moose's girlfriend and Ethel chasing Jughead, respectively. Dilton also sadly notes that the only time anyone talks to him is when they need help with science.note Which is also true given the episode format. He was missing for an entire day and no one noticed before Archie became intangible. After they get turned back to normal, Archie decides to spend the rest of the day with them. "Dance of the Killer Bees" is another episode which focused on Ethel, as we learn she's also president (and the only member) of the Bee Keeping Club. Archie also inspires her to run for Prom Queen alongside Betty and Veronica, and she wins. | |

Continuity Nod: Despite some low-level Negative Continuity, there are some small nods: In "Attack of the 50 Foot Veronica", Jughead apparently likes to go for an "evening think" to ponder mysteries. He meets up with Archie in "Curse of the Mummy" on one of these. Lucinda's dog in "Cinemadness!" still makes the meowing sound it did in "Zombies of Love!". As detailed in Aesop Amnesia, Archie mentions the time Veronica was a giantess. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: For starters, they are completely fine in direct sunlight as long as they are in human form or even smoke. Although as Scarlet explains it, older vampires such as Medlock can't survive in sunlight no matter what, but lesser vampires can manage with the help of heavy duty sunblock. A single bite is all that is needed to turn someone into a vampire. The spell can only be broken if the original vampire is destroyed (or at least turned back into a human). It is also implied the Master can change vampires back into humans like he did to Scarlet. Vampires are never explicitly said to be dead people, and could just be parasitic demons, that can convert humans. Archie unusually refers to them as living hundreds of years, as opposed to them being immortal or undead. Of course, that could be Handwaved with Never Say "Die"... | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: Betty and Veronica both experience this in "Dance of the Killer Bees". While both are running for Prom Queen, neither of them thought they'd lose against Big Ethel and spent most of the episode "feeling sorry for her," until Ethel told them she had fun running against them even if she probably doesn't win. Betty and Veronica then both felt horrible for being so condescending when they realized Ethel deserved to win, as she just spent her time earnestly campaigning instead of trying to tear down her competitors, like the two girls had been doing to each other. In "Brain of Terror", Moose adamantly refuses to take off the brain growth helmet even though it's changing his personality and alienating everyone around him. Then Midge gets hurt because of him and suddenly he can't fix things fast enough. In "Cine-Madness", Reggie's retrieval of his celebrity crush's character from the movie unleashes a band of vicious trolls on his niece's day care, nearly resulting in her getting hurt. He's horrified and vows to fix things. A more downplayed version but "Something is Haunting Riverdale High" features Archie looking legitimately guilty when he realizes how badly he's been neglecting Big Ethel, Midge and Dilton after they all remark on how invisible they feel most of the time. Veronica in "Supreme Girl vs. Dr. Arachnid", when she realizes her careless use of gossip has given Dr. Arachnid the edge against Supreme Girl. | |

Mayfly–December Romance: Implied in "Green Eyed Monster" where Dorsa outlives her husbands. To be fair, she's a sea creature who kept those "husbands" trapped with her forever. It was just a source of will power for whomever could survive her. | |

Gossipy Hens: Veronica spends the bulk of "Supreme Girl Vs Dr. Arachnid" as a ruthless gossip monger. She ends up jeopardizing Supreme Girl's mission to apprehend Dr. Arachnid by publishing an article that exposes the superhero's investigation and then later reveals Supreme Girl's weakness to trentonium. This ends up coming back to bite Veronica when Dr. Arachnid robs her dad's charity gala and uses her for a hostage, knowing Veronica's trentonium earrings will make her a decent Human Shield. | |

Did Not Think This Through: Lucinda in "Zombies of Love" gives Veronica the means to make Archie absolutely devoted to her, figuring this will backfire on Veronica eventually. Lucinda didn't stop to think Veronica's misadventure might blow over onto her, when a veritable army of Veronica-obsessed people start swarming Lucinda's hut to get Veronica. | |

Irony: Medlock's goal was to "befriend" (read: turn into a vampire) the "Ender", who would help him bring about eternal night. "Halloween of Horror" ultimately reveals that he had already befriended the Ender: his loyal servant, Scarlet, was the one the prophecy spoke of, but he used and cast her aside, only realizing his mistake when it was too late. | |

When she died, he was so upset that he desecrated all the statue faces, shattered every mirror and even carved off the face of his own sarcophagus. He came back to life after Archie kept taking pictures of him, and stopped when every picture got ripped in half. | |

In "Attack of the 50-Foot Veronica", Jughead calls the gigantic Veronica "Girlzilla". | |

Killed Off for Real: While a few of the villains are presumably killed off, there's no ambiguity when Medlock is dusted by Scarlet, and Nilnewz by Archie, Jughead, and Reggie, Mr. Aborichi is Dragged Off to Hell, the Trog leader is blasted to oblivion by Betty, and the pirate ghouls dive into the lava. Also, although it's quite vague, when Scarlet turns into a spirit and crosses over to the other side. Subverted in the tie-in comics, which reveal Scarlet simply became human at the end. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: "Beware the Glob". Pops thinks the boys saying there's a glob monster made of pudding is just a joke (despite his shop being overrun by giant cockroaches and a sentient computer) but when Jughead, burger obsessed food junkie that he is, says there's no time for burgers, something must be wrong. In "Reggie or Not", Archie is the only one suspicious of Reggie's sudden shift from Jerkass to Nice Guy. | |

Tricking the Shapeshifter: Archie is able to trap the Jackass Genie in "Compu-Terror" by challenging him to get all of the ketchup out of a glass bottle. The genie shrinks down to get inside the bottle to push out all of the ketchup just in time for Archie to put the cap on the bottle. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Vampires are never explicitly said to be dead people, and could just be parasitic demons, that can convert humans. Archie unusually refers to them as living hundreds of years, as opposed to them being immortal or undead. Of course, that could be Handwaved with Never Say "Die"... | |

Alien Invasion: Numerous episodes involved malevolent extraterrestrials, though the one from "The Jughead Incident" turned out to have been sent to Earth to judge whether or not it was worthy of joining The Federation. | |

Our Werewolves Are Different | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_f8b3fa5d | comment |
Our Werewolves Are Different: Turning into a werewolf requires a wolf bite, the full moon, and possession of a pentagram (which is only defined as a "five-pointed star", so a sheriff's badge works just fine). Putting something silver on the werewolf will turn it back and prevent further changes. The interesting thing about the wolf bite is that it does not seem that a full wolf is needed, as a wolfdog that is mostly dog will do. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good | |
| Archie's Weird Mysteries / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Mega-Mall of Horrors: Mr. Avericci never expects Jughead to not be greedy and remain loyal to Pops' Chocolate Shop when the mall closes it. The Vampire Arc: Medlock fails to understand the concept of friendship when he betrays his most loyal servant, who ends up turning against him. "Little Chocklit Shoppe of Horrors" contains an example of Logic Cannot Comprehend Emotion. The Stanley 9000 doesn't understand why Pop values personal attention and people's safety over efficiency. This leads to its Start of Darkness, causing it to believe that humans are inefficient and must be destroyed. | |

Time-Traveling Jerkass: Vinnie Wells may hold the all-time record for time-traveling jerkassery. A punk who got his hands on a pocket-sized time-travelling machine called the Chrono Field Generator, he starts out by using it to rob the Bank of Riverdale. When his plans are thwarted by Archie, he decides to use the Chrono Field Generator to repeatedly ruin Archie's life, then wipe him from existence, making himself a God-Emperor of Earth in the process. When Archie ruins his plans again, Vinnie then brings in a T-Rex from prehistoric times to have it destroy Riverdale. | |

Brick Joke: In "The Jughead Incident," Archie mentions someone named Olga Cappuchi as a potential candidate for the alien that's in Riverdale. Several episodes later it turns out Olga is the secret identity of Supreme Girl and she's spent months in Riverdale as part of her mission to find Dr. Arachnid. | |

Age-Down Romance: When all the town's adults are turned back into teenagers (both physically and mentally), the now sixteen Miss Grundy hits on Archie and Reggie. Both are repulsed by the idea, although Reggie starts to warm up to it whilst the two are slow dancing together, right before the affects wear off and she returns to her proper age with no memory of what happened leaving him to flounder for an explanation. | |
