IT’S THE TWILITE IN RIVERDALE AS BETTY AND VERONICA DISCOVER WHO WILL LOVE FOREVER!

New York, NY (August 9, 2010): Archie and his friends enter the world of Twilite, filled with vampires, werewolves and romance! Super star artist Bill Galvan, the artist behind the wildly popular Archie and Veronica romance, is back, bringing the “Twilight” saga to Riverdale in a special two-part Archie and friends romantic comedy called Twilite.

Veronica finds herself surrounded by danger as vampires enter Riverdale. At the same time, two new students transfer to Riverdale High. Ivan is smoking hot and has the attention of every girl in school, including Betty and Veronica! As the relationship between Veronica and Ivan blossoms, Jarred is telling anyone who’ll listen to him that Ivan is a vampire! Jarred's warning falls on deaf ears, except for one person: Archie’s rival Reggie Mantel! With Reggie being Jarred’s only ally, the two set out to expose Ivan. But what is the dark secret that Jarred is hiding? Find out as Archie and friends enter the world of Twilite.

There is more vampire and werewolf excitement ahead as the gang from Riverdale enters Archie’s Haunted House. As Archie and friends (or is that Archie and fiends?) are getting ready for the big party, they experience a shocking change - literally! The costume shop has a magical effect on Archie, Betty, Veronica, Chuck and Moose... and even makes Reggie more monstrous than usual! Can Dilton work up his wizardry and get the gang out of their monstrous transformation?
