00:00:06,919 --> 00:00:09,183
I went back to Sheriff Keller.

00:00:09,183 --> 00:00:10,836

what I was selling.

00:00:15,450 --> 00:00:20,411
Mr. Rayberry's neighbor
heard milk bottles the night
that he was killed.

Ethel saw a milkman the night
that her parents were murdered.
8
00:00:24,415 --> 00:00:26,635
So, if you put
two and two together,
9
00:00:26,635 --> 00:00:28,811
I think it's no sweat to say
10
00:00:28,811 --> 00:00:32,597
that we have
a killer milkman at large.
11
00:00:32,597 --> 00:00:34,382
- Do you agree?
- Mr. Rayberry killed himself.
12
00:00:34,382 --> 00:00:36,253
We have established that.
13
00:00:36,253 --> 00:00:37,254
No, you have established that.
I have not established that.

17

18
00:00:44,653 --> 00:00:45,871

20
00:00:47,786 --> 00:00:50,180

that you dropped this,

our ban tomorrow night.

every Halloween night.

00:08:05,397 --> 00:08:07,530
We're going to host
a ghost show
180
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:09,401
here at the Babylonium.
181
00:08:09,401 --> 00:08:11,882
And the powers that be
won't be able to object,
182
00:08:11,882 --> 00:08:13,493
as technically,
183
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:16,408
we'll be keeping
the teeny boppers
off the streets.
184
00:08:16,408 --> 00:08:20,108
I'm thinking 1920s glam
for the dress code.
185
00:08:21,370 --> 00:08:22,719
Ginchy idea, no?
186
00:08:22,719 --> 00:08:26,070
Yeah, um, what's a ghost show?
187
00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:27,768
[sighs]
188
00:08:27,768 --> 00:08:29,944
It's a little bit of this,
a little bit of that.
189
00:08:29,944 --> 00:08:33,513
Monsters, movies, burlesque.
190
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:34,688
And then at midnight...
191
00:08:36,341 --> 00:08:38,430
we raise the dead.
192
00:08:38,430 --> 00:08:39,954
[eerie screech]
193
00:08:41,564 --> 00:08:42,391
[woman screams]
194
00:08:44,001 --> 00:08:45,002
[spooky music plays]
195
00:08:45,002 --> 00:08:46,743
[Veronica] Hear ye, hear ye.
196
00:08:46,743 --> 00:08:49,616
Come one, come all to the
Babylonium's hair-raising
197
00:08:49,616 --> 00:08:51,443
Halloween Burlesque
and Ghost Show.
198
00:08:51,443 --> 00:08:52,619
One night only.
199
00:08:52,619 --> 00:08:53,620
There will be music.
200
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:55,535
There will be mayhem.
201
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,189
And then,
as Halloween gives way
to the Day of the Dead,
202
00:08:58,189 --> 00:09:00,496
there will be a resurrection,
203
00:09:00,496 --> 00:09:04,065
as the four
Riverdale High students
who oh-so tragically died
204
00:09:04,065 --> 00:09:06,328
on Halloween night
all those years ago
205
00:09:06,328 --> 00:09:09,723
return from the dead
before your very eyes.
206
00:09:09,723 --> 00:09:13,770
Get your tickets fast
before they vanish
without a trace.
207
00:09:13,770 --> 00:09:15,555
[crowd muttering in excitement]
208
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:19,689
Mr. Fieldstone,
209
00:09:19,689 --> 00:09:20,995
do you remember who wrote
210
00:09:20,995 --> 00:09:23,171
the milkman story
inside this issue?
211
00:09:23,171 --> 00:09:25,173
I just want to ask him
a couple questions.
212
00:09:25,173 --> 00:09:26,696
Kid, I haven't the foggiest.
213
00:09:26,696 --> 00:09:30,700
But most of our, uh,
Pep Comic freelancers
214
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:32,746
will be at the annual
Halloween office party.
215
00:09:32,746 --> 00:09:35,052
Why don't you come by
and sniff around?
216
00:09:35,052 --> 00:09:36,663
You might find the guy.
217
00:09:36,663 --> 00:09:38,229
Uh, thanks, Mr. Fieldstone.
I'll do just that.
218
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:40,449
[chuckles]
219
00:09:41,102 --> 00:09:41,929
[sighs]
220
00:09:44,409 --> 00:09:46,324
So, beauty queen,
221
00:09:46,324 --> 00:09:48,762
any plans for Halloween?
222
00:09:48,762 --> 00:09:52,330
Because I was thinking
we could spend it together.
223
00:09:52,330 --> 00:09:54,115
Veronica's got me roped
into her ghost show,
224
00:09:54,115 --> 00:09:55,507
but it would be a gas
225
00:09:55,507 --> 00:09:57,945
if you joined in
on the fun, too.
226
00:09:57,945 --> 00:10:00,512
She's got some sort of
floor show planned,
227
00:10:00,512 --> 00:10:01,818
complete with a kickline.
228
00:10:01,818 --> 00:10:04,386
That we would perform?
229
00:10:04,386 --> 00:10:06,475
In... In front of people?
230
00:10:06,475 --> 00:10:07,607
Yeah.
231
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:10,305
You and me, and Kevin and Clay.
232
00:10:10,305 --> 00:10:11,915
Don't tell me
you have stage fright.
233
00:10:11,915 --> 00:10:14,657
No, but it is tradition
that I host a sleepover
234
00:10:14,657 --> 00:10:16,050
for the Vixens every year.
235
00:10:16,050 --> 00:10:17,704
No big whoop. [sighs]
236
00:10:17,704 --> 00:10:19,662
I just thought Halloween's
the one night of the year
237
00:10:19,662 --> 00:10:21,055
where everyone wears a mask,
238
00:10:21,055 --> 00:10:23,231
and people like us,
239
00:10:23,231 --> 00:10:25,712
you and me, and Kevin and Clay,
240
00:10:25,712 --> 00:10:26,887
we don't have to, you know.
241
00:10:30,542 --> 00:10:31,718
[whistle blows]
242
00:10:31,718 --> 00:10:33,545
All right, fellas, bring it in.
243
00:10:33,545 --> 00:10:35,460
Just one last thing
before we break.
244
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:37,549
Now, I know Halloween
is coming up fast,
245
00:10:37,549 --> 00:10:39,073
and it used to be
Bulldog tradition
246
00:10:39,073 --> 00:10:40,944
to go out wilding.
247
00:10:40,944 --> 00:10:42,642
I have one thing to say.
248
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,034
Don't do it.
249
00:10:44,034 --> 00:10:45,383
Not on my watch.
250
00:10:45,383 --> 00:10:46,254
Understood?
251
00:10:47,603 --> 00:10:49,605
- Understood?
- [all] Understood, Coach.
252
00:10:49,605 --> 00:10:50,606
All right, then.
253
00:10:54,523 --> 00:10:56,699
Bravo!
254
00:10:56,699 --> 00:10:58,919
Gold star, fellas.
Even I almost believed you.
255
00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:00,660
What are you
bugging about, Julian?
256
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,836
It's Halloween, Andrews.
257
00:11:02,836 --> 00:11:03,750
Of course, the Bulldogs
258
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:04,664
are going out wilding,
259
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,100
despite what Coach says.
260
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:07,754
Count me out.
261
00:11:07,754 --> 00:11:09,712
I'm playing the ghost show
at the Babylonium.
262
00:11:09,712 --> 00:11:11,279
No one asked you, greaser.
263
00:11:12,497 --> 00:11:13,890
What about you two?
264
00:11:13,890 --> 00:11:15,022
You coming or what?
265
00:11:15,022 --> 00:11:17,024
No, I'm gonna sit this one out.
266
00:11:17,024 --> 00:11:18,503
I promised my folks
267
00:11:18,503 --> 00:11:20,070
I wouldn't cause trouble
while here in Riverdale.
268
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:21,419
Good God, Mantle.
269
00:11:21,419 --> 00:11:23,334
Let me know
when you grow a pair.
270
00:11:23,334 --> 00:11:25,641
For those of you who
actually care about tradition
271
00:11:25,641 --> 00:11:27,904
and aren't namby-pamby
cream puffs,
272
00:11:27,904 --> 00:11:30,864
we're meeting tomorrow night,
school parking lot.
273
00:11:31,734 --> 00:11:33,954
At sundown.
274
00:11:33,954 --> 00:11:38,262
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo,
hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo,
hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.
275
00:11:39,481 --> 00:11:40,482
I still can't fathom
276
00:11:40,482 --> 00:11:41,439
that Reggie's never
277
00:11:41,439 --> 00:11:42,702
celebrated Halloween.
278
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:43,877
Well, go figure.
279
00:11:43,877 --> 00:11:45,008
That's why Archie and I
280
00:11:45,008 --> 00:11:46,183
are showing him what it's like.
281
00:11:47,141 --> 00:11:48,229
In that case,
282
00:11:48,229 --> 00:11:49,273
you're excused
283
00:11:49,273 --> 00:11:50,448
from my phantasmagoria
284
00:11:50,448 --> 00:11:52,233
at the Babylonium.
285
00:11:52,233 --> 00:11:54,844
But tell me, Betty,
what's your skin in this game?
286
00:11:54,844 --> 00:11:57,891
Because I'm sensing
you have some.
287
00:11:57,891 --> 00:12:02,069
Well, I used to get
butterflies for Archie.
288
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:02,983
I still do.
289
00:12:04,462 --> 00:12:06,769
But now I think I'm also
getting them for Reggie.
290
00:12:07,683 --> 00:12:08,510
You know...
291
00:12:10,555 --> 00:12:12,949
you should use Halloween night
292
00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:16,474
to figure out which way
your love compass
is truly pointing.
293
00:12:18,085 --> 00:12:19,913
And then?
294
00:12:19,913 --> 00:12:22,567
And then,
let the spirit move you.
295
00:12:22,567 --> 00:12:25,092
And then, tell me
all about it the next day.
296
00:12:27,964 --> 00:12:31,620
So, Cheryl, I've been thinking
about tomorrow's slumber party.
297
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:33,230
I think you and the girls,
298
00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:34,536
instead of sleeping
in your bedroom,
299
00:12:34,536 --> 00:12:35,929
should decamp
to the grand hall.
300
00:12:37,104 --> 00:12:38,583
It's more open,
301
00:12:38,583 --> 00:12:41,891
less opportunity
for inappropriate hanky-panky.
302
00:12:41,891 --> 00:12:44,067
Yuck, Mother!
I'm trying to eat here.
303
00:12:49,986 --> 00:12:52,249
Just make sure
that's good and secure, boys.
304
00:12:52,249 --> 00:12:54,338
I don't want
any lawsuits on my hands.
305
00:12:54,338 --> 00:12:55,905
Wise words, Veronica.
306
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,255
Mrs. Cooper.
307
00:12:59,822 --> 00:13:03,434
What a lovely,
yet unexpected surprise.
308
00:13:03,434 --> 00:13:05,306
- Hmm.
- What can I do for you?
309
00:13:05,306 --> 00:13:08,396
I was in the neighborhood.
Just thought I would pop in.
310
00:13:10,180 --> 00:13:12,574
How are ticket sales going
for your little ghost show?
311
00:13:13,096 --> 00:13:14,184
Briskly.
312
00:13:14,184 --> 00:13:16,012
We should be sold out.
313
00:13:16,012 --> 00:13:17,753
[Alice] You're new in town,
314
00:13:17,753 --> 00:13:20,800
but this is how we celebrate
Halloween in Riverdale.
315
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,758
Everyone stays home
316
00:13:22,758 --> 00:13:26,414
and watches Mr. Cooper and I
host Shock Theater on RIVW.
317
00:13:26,414 --> 00:13:28,764
We dress up in singed clothes
318
00:13:28,764 --> 00:13:31,811
and we introduce
old horror flicks,
319
00:13:31,811 --> 00:13:33,377
we have a little banter
in between.
320
00:13:33,377 --> 00:13:35,162
- [Veronica chuckles] Oh.
- It's quite the event.
321
00:13:35,162 --> 00:13:37,120
We really give families
a tickle.
322
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,430
Well, we're not really
expecting a family crowd.
323
00:13:42,430 --> 00:13:46,260
More... teenagers, exclusively.
324
00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:49,089
You like to cause trouble,
don't you, Veronica?
325
00:13:49,089 --> 00:13:51,656
You're a natural born
rabble-rouser.
326
00:13:51,656 --> 00:13:53,702
I can tell.
327
00:13:53,702 --> 00:13:58,011
At any rate, I will allow
this little ghost show
to happen.
328
00:13:58,011 --> 00:13:59,447
It's not gonna
affect our ratings.
329
00:14:00,927 --> 00:14:02,232
But I want you to know,
young lady,
330
00:14:02,232 --> 00:14:03,494
you've been put on notice.
331
00:14:05,322 --> 00:14:06,193
[door opens]
332
00:14:11,111 --> 00:14:12,068
[door slams]
333
00:14:18,161 --> 00:14:19,946
[objects clattering]
334
00:14:19,946 --> 00:14:22,035
[footsteps approaching]
335
00:14:26,822 --> 00:14:28,215
[thudding]
336
00:14:33,046 --> 00:14:34,482
[ominous music playing]
337
00:14:39,226 --> 00:14:41,706
- [panting] Whoa.
- [hammer thuds]
338
00:14:42,446 --> 00:14:43,447
Ethel.
339
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:54,589
How the heck did you escape
The Sisters of Quiet Mercy?
340
00:14:54,589 --> 00:14:58,071
I started hearing
about secret tunnels
beneath the nunnery
341
00:14:58,071 --> 00:14:59,681
right when I got there.
342
00:14:59,681 --> 00:15:02,684
I spent every free moment I had
looking for them.
343
00:15:02,684 --> 00:15:04,120
Found them a couple days ago.
344
00:15:05,165 --> 00:15:06,906
It was your call
345
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:09,517
that gave me the push I needed
to make a break for it.
346
00:15:13,521 --> 00:15:14,696
I really couldn't...
347
00:15:16,393 --> 00:15:18,830
bear to be there
for another second.
348
00:15:18,830 --> 00:15:20,832
The sisters are cruel,
349
00:15:21,964 --> 00:15:24,053
and abusive.
350
00:15:24,053 --> 00:15:26,664
Well, they'll probably
come looking for you.
351
00:15:26,664 --> 00:15:29,232
[gentle music playing]
352
00:15:29,232 --> 00:15:30,581
What's your plan?
353
00:15:30,581 --> 00:15:31,626
My birthday
is in a couple months.
354
00:15:31,626 --> 00:15:33,019
Once I'm 18,
355
00:15:33,019 --> 00:15:34,498
I won't be a ward
of the state anymore,
356
00:15:34,498 --> 00:15:36,152

But I do know a place
that you could stay.
362

It's Mr. Rayberry's apartment.

Halloween mask,
372

so you can walk
the streets incognito.

from the slumber party.

You see, Fangs is performing
at Veronica's ghost show,
384
00:16:42,566 --> 00:16:45,395
and it would be gangbusters
to see him.

I, too, am intrigued by
Veronica's midnight burlesque.
393
00:17:12,248 --> 00:17:15,991
So if I asked Evelyn
to host the slumber party
394
00:17:15,991 --> 00:17:18,124

that witchy witch would,
395

that your friend Ethel Muggs

So if we searched

411
00:18:12,482 --> 00:18:13,831
she wouldn't be there?
