    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Horror Spin-Off Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy 2 Comments1 Min Read

    This week, Archie Comics announced the adventures of Vampironica, a blood-sucking take on the richest girl in Riverdale.  This joins Archie’s adventures in a zombie apocalypse, Jughead’s separate adventures howling at the moon, another separate take where Sabrina lives in a retro world of baroque witchy intrigue and so on.  Horror comics are nothing new under the sun, having been around since the earliest days of comics, but today’s mash-up culture has given us a whole new crop combining the tropes of classic terror tales with extant properties, such as the occasionally hilarious horror spin-off, Marvel Zombies and the seedier sides of the New 52, leading to today’s chilling adventures of query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) will still never forgive DC editorial for what the New 52 did to The Question, asking: Which of your favorite shows, worlds or properties is ripest for a horror spin-off?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      I don’t know what to say anymore, because they did one with Archie and made it work. Maybe Event Horizon type space horror Star Trek episode or movie.
