5. Vampironica

With most of the vampire shows ending, television needs a new one and what better way than to take a story from a comic that already exists and mix it with a show people already love. Vampironica is a comic currently being published by Archie Horror and follows Veronica as she lives her life after becoming a vampire. She is turned into a vampire by a hundred-year-old bloodsucker, Ivan, and then is forced to deal with the way her life changes.

Will she feed on the people of Riverdale? If she doesn’t, how will she survive? Get blood from the hospital? Or maybe she can convince Archie to give up some of his blood? In the comic, she protects Riverdale from the other vampires that have come to town and tries to break the curse on her and the other people bitten by the master vampire. She must kill him. The story also casts Veronica’s parents as well as Reggie as bloodsuckers.

Eventually, Archie finds out that Veronica and her family are vampires and joins in the fight to eradicate them from the town which definitely sounds like something the Archie from the television series would do.

Although, let’s be honest, he’d probably try to take a baseball bat or a shotgun to them first before figuring out the actual method for killing the vampire. Betty and Dilton Doiley, one of Veronica’s friends, also joins the group to kill the creatures.

This being a spin-off of Riverdale could also mean that more characters could be brought into the fight or turned into vampires. Would Cheryl make a better vampire or a vampire fighter? Would Jughead try to figure out a way to keep the vampires alive but controlled so they wouldn’t have to kill anyone? And how do you think the adults would handle this crisis once they learned that yes, in fact, vampires are real?

There are a lot of scenarios that the show could play out and definite opportunities for crossovers with Supernatural and Netflix’s Sabrina. The real question is: why is this not a show already? Camila Mendes would make a great vampire.
