Dilton: MAYBE IF I
REVERSE THE SCANOTRONIC
MATRIX CAPACITOR.
THIS OUGHT TO DO IT.
YAAH!
OR MAYBE NOT.
[CLANGS]
[SIGHS] MAYBE THS WAS
AN EXTREMELY FOOLHARDY
ENDEAVOR TO EMBARK UPON.
THE PLAN SEEMED
SO SIMPLE...
I INVENT THE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL
FREQUENCY MODULATION
RADIATION DEVICE.
THEN I'D WIN THE SCHOOL
SCIENCE FAIR. [GULPS]
THEN THE NOBEL PRIZE!
THEN I'D BECOME
RICH AND FAMOUS!
THEN MAYBE PEOPLE
WOULD VISIT ME HERE
IN THE LAB A LITTLE
MORE OFTEN. HUH?
NO! KEEP AWAY!
AAH!
Reggie: MARK YOUR
CALENDARS, PALS AND GALS.
TOMORROW'S THE DAY
REGGIE MANTLE WILL
MAKE HISTORY!
Archie: YOU MEAN,
FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN YOUR LIFE,
YOU'LL ACTUALLY
PICK UP THE BILL
AT POP TATE'S
CHOCK'LIT SHOPPE?
[SNORTS] HUH? WHAT?
SOMEONE'S PICKING UP
THE BILL AT POP TATE'S?
I'M THERE!
[LAUGHING]
HA! YOU ALL SCOFF
BECAUSE YOU'RE JEALOUS.
TOMORROW AT LUNCH,
I GIVE MY PRESENTATION
TO THE COIN CLUB.
AFTER I'M DONE,
I'M SURE THE COIN CLUB
WILL WANT TO ERECT
A MONUMENT
TO COMMEMORATE
MY PRESENTATION.
COINS! BIG DEAL!
BACK TO DREAMS
OF HAMBURGERS
DANCING IN MY HEAD.
[JUGHEAD SNORING]
ALL THIS FUSS
OVER A BUNCH
OF COINS!
NOW, IF IT WERE
JEWELRY, THAT WOULD
BE DIFFERENT.
DO YOU HAVE SOME
SPECIAL COINS IN YOUR
COLLECTION, REGGIE?
DO I HAVE SOME
SPECIAL COINS IN
MY COLLECTION?! HA!
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!
COOL! A MINT 1912 BALTIMORE
BULLOCK 7-CENT PIECE!
THERE WERE ONLY
3 OF THOSE MADE!
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS IS?
YES! A MINT 1912 BALTIMORE
BULLOCK 7-CENT PIECE!
THERE WERE ONLY
3 OF THOSE MADE.
THIS IS A MINT 1912
BALTIMORE BULLOCK
7-CENT PIECE!
THERE WERE ONLY
3 OF THESE MADE!
[SIGHS] I GUESS I'LL
JUST QUIETLY SIT HERE
AND PRETEND I DON'T EXIST.
WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
Miss Grundy: CLASS, CLASS!
EYES UP FRONT!
MOOSE, MIDGE, NO HAND-HOLDING
UNTIL AFTER CLASS.
THAT'S BETTER. HMM.
[LAUGHS]
THAT'S FUNNY. THERE'S
NO BREEZE IN HERE.
NOW, CLASS, IF YOU'LL
OPEN YOUR BOOKS
TO THE FIRST CHAPTER,
AND...HUH?
[GIGGLES]
BETTY COOPER,
START READING
FROM THE SECOND
PARA...GRAPH. OHH!
[EXASPERATED]
BETTY, READ!
"THE TOWERS OF ILIUM
ASPIRED ABOVE
THE MORNING MIST..."
HMM.
I'M TELLING YOU, JUGHEAD.
THOSE PAPERS SLIDING
FROM MISS GRUNDY'S DESK--
CLASSIC POLTERGEIST PHENOMENA.
NO OFFENSE, ARCH,
BUT EVERYTHING'S
A CLASSIC POLTERGEIST
PHENOMENA TO YOU.
YOU'VE GOT POLTERGEISTS
ON THE BRAIN!
I DO NOT.
A LEAF FALLS OFF
A TREE.
O-OOH, A POLTERGEIST
DID IT!
A STORM KNOCKS DOWN
A POWER LINE.
O-HOO! POLTERGEISTS
AGAIN!
AN OVEN PREHEATS
TO 350. OH, NO!
A POLTERGEIST
HAUNTS THE KITCHEN!
LAUGH IT UP, PAL, BUT WHEN
A POLTERGEIST PICK-POCKET
TAKES ALL YOUR
HAMBURGER MONEY,
JUST DON'T COME
CRYING TO ME.
HEY, GUYS, I'M
LOOKING FOR--
OH, YEAH. WE SAW MOOSE
HEADING BACK THAT WAY.
ACTUALLY, I'M
LOOKING FOR--
MOOSE WAS ON HIS WAY
TO FOOTBALL PRACTICE.
SO WHAT DO I HAVE TO
DO TO PROVE TO YOU
THAT POLTERGEISTS
BUILT STONEHENGE?
Jughead: IT WOULD
TAKE AT LEAST
7 HAMBURGERS
AT POP TATE'S.
OOH! I'M LOOKING FOR
THE SPARE GYM MATS!
HOLDING HANDS WITH MOOSE
IS NOT MY ONLY
FUNCTION IN LIFE!
IF YOU WEREN'T
SO WRAPPED UP
IN YOUR OWN LIVES,
YOU'D KNOW THAT!
MOOSE IS
INTO GYMNASTICS?
THAT'S ENOUGH
PAPERWORK FOR TODAY.
DAY IN, AND DAY OUT.
PAPERWORK, PAPERWORK,
PAPERWORK!
[SIGHS] JUST ONCE,
I WISH SOMETHING
DIFFERENT WOULD HAPPEN.
[BANG]
HUH?
ANYONE THERE?
HMM. MUST HAVE BEEN
MY IMAGINATION.
[LOCKERS RATTLING]
IF THIS IS SOME YOUNG
HOOLIGAN'S IDEA OF A PRANK,
HE OR SHE WILL HAVE PLENTY
OF TIME TO REGRET IT
DURING A WEEK'S
WORTH OF DETENTION.
[BANGING ON LOCKERS]FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY
HIDE AND GO SEEK,
I KNOW EVERY NOOK AND
CRANNY OF THIS SCHOOL!
I-I DIDN'T MEAN IT!
NO DETENTION!
[SCREAMING]
[SCREAMING]
AAH! HELP!
GANGWAY!
Weatherby: COME IN!
YOU WANTED TO
SEE ME, SIR?
SIT DOWN, ARCHIE.
[GULPS]
AM I IN TROUBLE
FOR SOMETHING, SIR?
I'VE BEEN READING YOUR
WEIRD MYSTERIESCOLUMN
THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
FRANKLY, I DIDN'T
PUT MUCH STOCK IN IT.
SPOOKS AND GOBLINS AND
ALIENS AND WEREWOLVES.
A LOT OF BALDERDASH,
I THOUGHT.
SIR, I PROTEST!
THAT'S WHAT I
USED TO THINK.
BUT NOW...
ARCHIE, HAVE YOU NOTICED
ANYTHING UNUSUAL
AROUND RIVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL
THE PAST FEW DAYS?
YOU MEAN, LIKE
THIS STAPLER
ON YOUR DESK?
IT'S BEEN DOING THAT
OFF AND ON ALL MORNING!
WHEW!
YEP, SIR. IT'S
CLASSIC POLTERGEIST
PHENOMENA.
AH, SO YOU'VE
HAD EXPERIENCE
WITH THIS SORT
OF STUFF BEFORE.
I KNEW YOU WERE THE MAN
FOR THIS JOB. HERE.
THIS IS A GOLDEN
HALL PASS.
IT GRANTS YOU FULL ACCESS
TO THE ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL
AND EXEMPTS YOU FROM CLASS.
YOU'LL NEED IT.WHAT FOR?
I NEED YOU TO GET RID OF
THIS POLTERGEIST PHENOMENA.
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
SET TRAPS! BURN INCENSE!
SPRAY POLTERGEIST REPELLANT!
JUST GET IT OFF MY CAMPUS.
YOU CAN COUNT
ON ME, SIR!
HMM. NOTHING HERE.
WHAT?
HMM?
HMM...
HMM!
UH-OH!
HEH HEH. UH,
HI, BETTY.
[KNOCKS]
HUH?
HUH?
[GASPS]
[KNOCKS]
ACCORDING TO
MY INVESTIGATION,
MOST OF THE STRANGE OCCURRENCES
HAPPEN CLOSE TO THE LAB.
DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANYTHING
SUSPICIOUS RIGHT NOW.
UH-OH! ME AND MY
FAMOUS LAST WORDS!
UH, MR. POLTERGEIST, SIR,
I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU COULD STOP HAUNTING
RIVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL.
AAH! OR NOT. IT'S
JUST A SUGGESTION.
I TAKE IT ALL BACK.
YOU CAN HAUNT
RIVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL
ALL YOU WANT.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL COME BACK LATER,
WHEN YOU AREN'T
SO BUSY. YEOW!
HUH?
[LIQUID BUBBLING]
I'VE NEVER READ
ABOUT THAT IN ANY OF
THE POLTERGEIST MANUALS!
SPOOKY.
I'M FEELING
SORT OF...STRANGE.
[GROANING SOFTLY]
OK, I'LL START
WITH THE FORTNER 1961
FIRST DAY PRESS PENNY...
HEY, REGGIE!
YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT
JUST HAPPENED TO ME!
...AND THEN BUILD
TO THE MINT 1912 BALTIMORE
BULLOCK 7-CENT PIECE.
THAT'LL REALLY WOW
THE COIN CLUB!
HOW COULD SOMEONE BE
SO WRAPPED UP IN COINS
THAT HE CAN'T NOTICE
THE WORLD AROUND HIM?
NO, REALLY,
VERONICA.
BABBITT'S
A GREAT BOOK.
IT'S ABOUT A MAN
WHO CAN'T ESCAPE
THE LIMITATIONS
OF SMALL TOWN LIFE.
YOU SHOULD READ IT.
[GULPING]
HEY, GIRLS! THE MOST
INCREDIBLE THING
HAPPENED TO ME!
OOH!
Veronica: BABBITT CAN'T
ESCAPE THE LIMITATIONS
OF SMALL TOWN LIFE?
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!
RIVERDALE IS ALWAYS
4 MONTHS BEHIND
THE PARIS FASHIONS.
WHOA! UHH!
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO BE CLOSER
TO VERONICA,
BUT THAT WAS TOO CLOSE!
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?
[GULPING]
WATCH ME MAKE
AN OUTSIDE SHOT.
HEY! WATCH IT!
[LIKE A SPORTS ANNOUNCER]
SHE SHOOTS, SHE SCORES!
BETTY COOPER HAS
JUST LED HER TEAM
TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP!
C'MON, CHAMP.
DADDY'S GOING
TO GROUND ME
IF YOU DON'T
HELP ME GET
A BETTER GRADE
ON MY GEOMETRY TEST.
[LIKE A SPORTS ANNOUNCER]
WORLD CHAMPION BETTY COOPER
LEAVES THE COURT
TO TUTOR VERONICA LODGE
ON EQUILATERAL AND
ISOSCELES TRIANGLES!
Veronica:
AND THE CROWD
GOES WILD.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN
SEE OR HEAR ME.
IT WAS LIKE
I WASN'T EVEN HERE.
HIYA, ARCH!HUH?
JUGHEAD! BUDDY!
YOU CAN SEE ME!
Jughead: NAH, THAT'S
TOO CHEERFUL.
[SADLY] HELLO, ARCHIE.
[SOBS]
UH, JUGHEAD?
NAH, THAT'S
TOO DEPRESSED.
ARRGH!
JUGHEAD!
[MILDLY WOEFUL]
HELLO, ARCHIE.
CAN I BORROW SOME MONEY
FOR HAMBURGERS?
I SPENT MY ALLOWANCE
HELPING SOME ORPHANS.
YEP, THAT'S THE RIGHT
TONE TO TAKE.
Archie: YUCK!
ARCHIE WILL TAKE PITY
AND LOAN ME A 20
FOR THAT SOB STORY.
EWW!
I THINK MY HAND
JUST WENT
WHERE TOO MANY
HAMBURGERS HAVE
GONE BEFORE!
NO ONE CAN SEE ME,
HEAR ME, OR TOUCH ME.
THAT ORANGE GLOW
IN DILTON'S LAB--
IT MUST HAVE TURNED ME
INTO A GHOST!
OOF!
OOF!
WHY DON'T YOU
WATCH--
DILTON! YOU KNOCKED
ME OVER!
A RATHER OBVIOUS
OBSERVATION, BUT
TRUE NEVERTHELESS.
YOU CAN SEE
AND HEAR ME!
YES TO BOTH.
ARE YOU GUYS OK?
YOU CAN SEE
AND HEAR ME, TOO!
HE'S CATCHING ON QUICKLY,
ISN'T HE?
SO WHAT'S CAUSING
ALL THIS WEIRDNESS?
BEHOLD THE CULPRIT.
THE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL
FREQUENCY MODULATION
RADIATION DEVICE.
Both: THE WHAT?
HEH HEH.
IT WAS GOING
TO REVOLUTIONIZE
THE HOUSING INDUSTRY
BY CREATING
ADDITIONAL SPACE
FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS.
A ONE-ROOM APARTMENT
COULD BECOME
A 30-ROOM MANSION!
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.
CERTAINLY, IF IT WORKED.
BUT SOMETHING WENT
HORRIBLY WRONG.
IT ACTIVATED
AND TRANSFORMED ME
INTO THIS GHOSTLIKE
STATE YESTERDAY.
I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE
YOU WERE GONE.
WELL, EXCEPT WHEN
SOMEONE NEEDS ASSISTANCE
IN A SCIENTIFIC MATTER,
I SOMETIMES GO FOR DAYS
WITHOUT ANYONE SPEAKING TO ME.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T REALIZE.
IT WOULD BE...
PLEASANT TO RELAX
AT THE CHOCK'LIT
SHOPPE
WITH SOME FRIENDS
NOW AND AGAIN.
YOU WILL, BUDDY.
AFTER WE GET OUT
OF THIS MESS.
I PROMISE.
Dilton: MY THEORY
IS THAT THE PULSE
OF RADIATION
FROM THE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL
FREQUENCY MODULATION
RADIATION DEVICE
SHIFTED OUR
MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
JUST OUT OF PHASE
WITH THE REST
OF THE WORLD.
Midge: DILTON,
YOU HAVE TO COME UP
WITH SHORTER NAMES
FOR YOUR INVENTIONS.
WHAT A MOUTHFUL!
SO HOW DID YOU
GET TRANSFORMED,
MIDGE?
I WENT DOWN
TO THE STORAGE ROOM
IN THE BASEMENT
TO LOOK FOR
THE SPARE GYM MATS
WHEN I WAS HIT
BY AN ORANGE GLOW.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
LOOKING FOR MOOSE.
I'M NOT JUST MOOSE'S
GIRLFRIEND, YOU KNOW.
I HAVE INTERESTS.
I'M STUDYING GYMNASTICS.
AFTER COLLEGE, I'M GOING
TO BE A STUNTWOMAN!
SHE FOUND ME
A FEW HOURS LATER.
APPARENTLY,
MY--AHEM--DEVICE
PULSES THAT ORANGE GLOW
AT REGULAR INTERVALS.
LOOK AT THAT!
LOOK! NOTHING
UP MY SLEEVES.
BIG ETHEL'S
PRETTY GOOD AT MAGIC.
WHO KNEW? SHE'S
NEVER DONE THIS
IN PUBLIC.
MAYBE THE PUBLIC
NEVER PAID ATTENTION
WHEN SHE DID IT.
HUH?
[PULSING]TA-DA!
NOW, FOR MY NEXT TRICK...
WELL, THAT WAS PRETTY COOL,
BUT IT WASN'T MY NEXT TRICK.
AH, WHERE DID
YOU GUYS COME FROM?
AND HOW LONG
HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?
IT'S WORSE THAN I
SUSPECTED, ARCHIE.
EVERY TIME
THE PULSE ACTIVATES,
IT GETS LARGER.
NEXT TIME IT WILL FILL
THE WHOLE TOWN.
AND THEN...
RIVERDALE WILL BECOME
A REAL GHOST TOWN!
[BOY YAWNING]
HUH?
WE'VE GOT TO WARN THEM.
WE'VE ALREADY TRIED.
NO ONE NOTICED.
IN THIS STATE,
WE HAVE VIRTUALLY
NO EFFECT
ON THE PHYSICAL WORLD.
GO AHEAD.
SEE HOW HARD
IT IS TO MOVE
THOSE PAPERS.
HUH?
Dilton: CONCENTRATE
AND FOCUS ON THE PAPERS.
UHH! UHH!
[PANTING] WHOA!
[STRAINING] UHH!
[PANTING] WHOO!
THAT WAS TOUGH.
THAT SHOULD HOLD YOU.
SEE? IT TOOK
ALL YOUR STRENGTH
JUST TO MOVE
SOME PAPER.
Midge: ALTHOUGH,
FOR SOME REASON,
IT WASN'T HARD TO CLICK
MR. WEATHERBY'S STAPLER
OR BANG OPEN
THE LOCKERS.
IT'S UNFORTUNATE
THAT NO ONE SEEMS
TO KNOW MORSE CODE
AT THIS SCHOOL.
WAIT A MINUTE!
BOTH THE LOCKERS
AND THE STAPLER
ARE MADE OF METAL.
WHY, I'LL BE
SUPER-AMALGAMATED!
OF COURSE!
THE MOLECULAR DENSITY
OF METALS ALLOWS US TO
STILL TOUCH AND HOLD THEM.
SO WE CAN STILL TOUCH
AND HOLD ANYTHING METAL.
AND WE CAN HARDLY MOVE
OR TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.
SO WHY DON'T WE
FIND A METAL TOOL
IN YOUR LAB
AND USE IT
TO FLIP YOUR DEVICE
INTO REVERSE?
I TRIED!
THE SPILLOVER RADIATION
MAKES IT NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE
TO EVEN GET CLOSE
TO THE DEVICE.
IT'S LIKE TRYING TO PUSH
A BOULDER UP A HILL.
HEY, THERE'S SOME
PRETTY FUN THINGS
ABOUT BEING A GHOST!
LIKE WALKING
THROUGH WALLS!
REGGIE'S SETTING UP
HIS PRESENTATION
FOR THE COIN CLUB
NEXT DOOR.
NOW I CAN GET
A BETTER LOOK
AT THAT 1912 BALTIMORE
BULLOCK 7-CENT PIECE.
I'VE GOT A PLAN!
BUT I NEED EVERYONE'S HELP.
YOU MEAN I'LL GET
TO HELP YOU
WITH ONE OF YOUR
WEIRD MYSTERIES? COOL!
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO BE IN YOUR COLUMN.
SURE! WHY
SHOULD BETTY
AND VERONICA
HAVE ALL
THE FUN?
LET'S DO IT.
OK, REGGIE, THE ENTIRE
COIN CLUB WILL BE HERE
IN A MOMENT.
JUST STAY CALM AND
LET YOUR MAGNIFICENCE
SHINE FORTH.
BOY, EVEN WHEN
HE'S NERVOUS,
HIS EGO IS
ENORMOUS!
ALL RIGHT, BIG ETHEL.
DO YOUR MAGIC!
OK, BUT I'VE NEVER
DONE THIS IN FRONT
OF AN AUDIENCE.
[KISSES]
HUH? HEY!
THAT'S MINE!
NOW YOU SEE IT...
NOW YOU DON'T.
WHOA! AAH!
UHH!
Reggie:
WHERE'D IT GO?[LAUGHING]
WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU
TO GET THE COIN AND REGGIE
TO THE LAB, MIDGE.
WE'LL MEET YOU THERE.
Big Ethel:
GOOD LUCK!
Midge: OK, TALL, DARK,
AND CONCEITED.
ARE YOU LOOKING
FOR THIS?
THERE YOU ARE.
HUH? [GRUNTS]
I THINK THE FISH HAS
NOTICED THE BAIT.
[GASPS]
COME BACK HERE!
HUH?
UHH! UHH!
THE GUY AT THE COIN SHOP
DIDN'T TELL ME THAT
IT COULD DO THAT!
IT MUST BE WORTH A FORTUNE!
STAND ASIDE.
MANTLE THE MAGNIFICENT
COMING THROUGH!
[PANTING] I'M GONNA
HAVE TO PRACTICE THAT
MOVE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
Reggie: AHA!
I'VE GOT YOU CORNERED!
NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!
UHH!
HUH?
I'M GOING TO MAKE
A GREAT STUNTWOMAN!
GET READY! HERE COMES
THE COIN...AND REGGIE.
AAH! OOF!
Reggie: OW!
THAT HAD TO HURT.
OK, MIDGE. I'LL
TAKE IT FROM HERE.
THIS BETTER HAPPEN SOON.
THE DEVICE IS ABOUT
TO PULSE AGAIN
AND TURN THE WHOLE
HIGH SCHOOL INTO GHOSTS!
ALL RIGHT, COIN!
NOW IT'S PERSONAL.
AHA! THERE YOU ARE.
I'VE GOT TO PUSH THIS
TO THE REVERSE SWITCH.
[GRUNTING]
THE RADIATION IS
PUSHING ARCHIE BACK
FROM THE DEVICE.
HE'S GOT TO GET
TO THE SWITCH
BEFORE REGGIE
SNATCHES THE COIN.
YEAH!
HA! NOW YOU'RE
MINE AGAIN.
HUH?
HEY! WHERE'D YOU
GUYS COME FROM?
ARCHIE, QUICK!
GET IN FRONT
OF THE DISH BEFORE
IT'S TOO LATE!
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
ARCHIE'S NOT HERE.
[GASPS]
OH, NO. I CAN'T
SHUT IT OFF!
IT'S GOING
TO PULSE AGAIN!
Archie: RELAX, DILTON!
IT'S COVERED.
I'M CONFUSED!
YOU'RE ALWAYS CONFUSED,
REGGIE. GET USED TO IT!
DON'T LET IT GET
YOU DOWN, BIG GUY.
THAT WAS QUITE
AN ADVENTURE!
Veronica: OH,
ARCHIE-KINS!
HUH?
OH, ARCHIE-KINS,
I HAVE 5 FREE TICKETS
FOR THE MOVIES.
WE'VE GOT ONE
TICKET LEFT.
WANT TO COME AND
KEEP ME COMPANY?
WELL, IT'S BACK
TO THE LAB.
IT WAS FUN
WHILE IT LASTED.
AT LEAST I HAD
A GREAT ADVENTURE.
TIME TO DISAPPEAR,
I GUESS.
NOT TONIGHT,
VERONICA.
I'M GOING TO
SPEND THE EVENING
WITH SOME OF MY
OTHER FRIENDS.
Archie: A TOAST!
TO GOOD FRIENDS!
All: TO GOOD FRIENDS!
Archie: BECAUSE THEY'RE
QUIET, SHY,
DON'T QUITE WEAR
THE RIGHT CLOTHES,
OR AREN'T AS FLASHY
AS THE MORE POPULAR KIDS,
SOME KIDS FEEL INVISIBLE.
I WAS GUILTY
OF TREATING DILTON, MIDGE,
AND BIG ETHEL LIKE
THEY WERE INVISIBLE
BY NOT REALLY PAYING
ATTENTION TO THEM.
WHEN DILTON'S INVENTION
WENT AWRY, IT REMINDED ME
TO NOTICE AND APPRECIATE ALL
THE GOOD PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.
I HOPE YOU DO, TOO.
IT'S A LESSON I WAS
GRATEFUL TO LEARN...
IN A LITTLE TOWN
CALLED RIVERDALE.
FRIGHTENING UNSEEN ENTITY
INHABITING RIVERDALE HIGH?
AND WHAT DOES IT DESPERATELY
NEED FROM ARCHIE?
SOMETHING IS HAUNTING
RIVERDALE HIGH.

AND EXEMPTS YOU FROM CLASS.
YOU'LL NEED IT.WHAT FOR?
I NEED YOU TO GET RID OF
THIS POLTERGEIST PHENOMENA.
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
SET TRAPS! BURN INCENSE!
SPRAY POLTERGEIST REPELLANT!
JUST GET IT OFF MY CAMPUS.
YOU CAN COUNT
ON ME, SIR!
HMM. NOTHING HERE.
WHAT?
HMM?
HMM...
HMM!
UH-OH!
HEH HEH. UH,
HI, BETTY.
[KNOCKS]
HUH?
HUH?
[GASPS]
[KNOCKS]
ACCORDING TO
MY INVESTIGATION,
MOST OF THE STRANGE OCCURRENCES
HAPPEN CLOSE TO THE LAB.
DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANYTHING
SUSPICIOUS RIGHT NOW.
UH-OH! ME AND MY
FAMOUS LAST WORDS!
UH, MR. POLTERGEIST, SIR,
I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU COULD STOP HAUNTING
RIVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL.
AAH! OR NOT. IT'S
JUST A SUGGESTION.
I TAKE IT ALL BACK.
YOU CAN HAUNT
RIVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL
ALL YOU WANT.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL COME BACK LATER,
WHEN YOU AREN'T
SO BUSY. YEOW!
HUH?
[LIQUID BUBBLING]
I'VE NEVER READ
ABOUT THAT IN ANY OF
THE POLTERGEIST MANUALS!
SPOOKY.
I'M FEELING
SORT OF...STRANGE.
[GROANING SOFTLY]
OK, I'LL START
WITH THE FORTNER 1961
FIRST DAY PRESS PENNY...
HEY, REGGIE!
YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT
JUST HAPPENED TO ME!
...AND THEN BUILD
TO THE MINT 1912 BALTIMORE
BULLOCK 7-CENT PIECE.
THAT'LL REALLY WOW
THE COIN CLUB!
HOW COULD SOMEONE BE
SO WRAPPED UP IN COINS
THAT HE CAN'T NOTICE
THE WORLD AROUND HIM?
NO, REALLY,
VERONICA.
BABBITT'S
A GREAT BOOK.
IT'S ABOUT A MAN
WHO CAN'T ESCAPE
THE LIMITATIONS
OF SMALL TOWN LIFE.
YOU SHOULD READ IT.
[GULPING]
HEY, GIRLS! THE MOST
INCREDIBLE THING
HAPPENED TO ME!
OOH!
Veronica: BABBITT CAN'T
ESCAPE THE LIMITATIONS
OF SMALL TOWN LIFE?
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!
RIVERDALE IS ALWAYS
4 MONTHS BEHIND
THE PARIS FASHIONS.
WHOA! UHH!
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO BE CLOSER
TO VERONICA,
BUT THAT WAS TOO CLOSE!
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?
[GULPING]
WATCH ME MAKE
AN OUTSIDE SHOT.
HEY! WATCH IT!
[LIKE A SPORTS ANNOUNCER]
SHE SHOOTS, SHE SCORES!
BETTY COOPER HAS
JUST LED HER TEAM
TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP!
C'MON, CHAMP.
DADDY'S GOING
TO GROUND ME
IF YOU DON'T
HELP ME GET
A BETTER GRADE
ON MY GEOMETRY TEST.
[LIKE A SPORTS ANNOUNCER]
WORLD CHAMPION BETTY COOPER
LEAVES THE COURT
TO TUTOR VERONICA LODGE
ON EQUILATERAL AND
ISOSCELES TRIANGLES!
Veronica:
AND THE CROWD
GOES WILD.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN
SEE OR HEAR ME.
IT WAS LIKE
I WASN'T EVEN HERE.
HIYA, ARCH!HUH?
JUGHEAD! BUDDY!
YOU CAN SEE ME!
Jughead: NAH, THAT'S
TOO CHEERFUL.
[SADLY] HELLO, ARCHIE.
[SOBS]
UH, JUGHEAD?
NAH, THAT'S
TOO DEPRESSED.
ARRGH!
JUGHEAD!
[MILDLY WOEFUL]
HELLO, ARCHIE.
CAN I BORROW SOME MONEY
FOR HAMBURGERS?
I SPENT MY ALLOWANCE
HELPING SOME ORPHANS.
YEP, THAT'S THE RIGHT
TONE TO TAKE.
Archie: YUCK!
ARCHIE WILL TAKE PITY
AND LOAN ME A 20
FOR THAT SOB STORY.
EWW!
I THINK MY HAND
JUST WENT
WHERE TOO MANY
HAMBURGERS HAVE
GONE BEFORE!
NO ONE CAN SEE ME,
HEAR ME, OR TOUCH ME.
THAT ORANGE GLOW
IN DILTON'S LAB--
IT MUST HAVE TURNED ME
INTO A GHOST!
OOF!
OOF!
WHY DON'T YOU
WATCH--
DILTON! YOU KNOCKED
ME OVER!
A RATHER OBVIOUS
OBSERVATION, BUT
TRUE NEVERTHELESS.
YOU CAN SEE
AND HEAR ME!
YES TO BOTH.
ARE YOU GUYS OK?
YOU CAN SEE
AND HEAR ME, TOO!
HE'S CATCHING ON QUICKLY,
ISN'T HE?
SO WHAT'S CAUSING
ALL THIS WEIRDNESS?
BEHOLD THE CULPRIT.
THE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL
FREQUENCY MODULATION
RADIATION DEVICE.
Both: THE WHAT?
HEH HEH.
IT WAS GOING
TO REVOLUTIONIZE
THE HOUSING INDUSTRY
BY CREATING
ADDITIONAL SPACE
FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS.
A ONE-ROOM APARTMENT
COULD BECOME
A 30-ROOM MANSION!
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.
CERTAINLY, IF IT WORKED.
BUT SOMETHING WENT
HORRIBLY WRONG.
IT ACTIVATED
AND TRANSFORMED ME
INTO THIS GHOSTLIKE
STATE YESTERDAY.
I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE
YOU WERE GONE.
WELL, EXCEPT WHEN
SOMEONE NEEDS ASSISTANCE
IN A SCIENTIFIC MATTER,
I SOMETIMES GO FOR DAYS
WITHOUT ANYONE SPEAKING TO ME.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T REALIZE.
IT WOULD BE...
PLEASANT TO RELAX
AT THE CHOCK'LIT
SHOPPE
WITH SOME FRIENDS
NOW AND AGAIN.
YOU WILL, BUDDY.
AFTER WE GET OUT
OF THIS MESS.
I PROMISE.
Dilton: MY THEORY
IS THAT THE PULSE
OF RADIATION
FROM THE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL
FREQUENCY MODULATION
RADIATION DEVICE
SHIFTED OUR
MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
JUST OUT OF PHASE
WITH THE REST
OF THE WORLD.
Midge: DILTON,
YOU HAVE TO COME UP
WITH SHORTER NAMES
FOR YOUR INVENTIONS.
WHAT A MOUTHFUL!
SO HOW DID YOU
GET TRANSFORMED,
MIDGE?
I WENT DOWN
TO THE STORAGE ROOM
IN THE BASEMENT
TO LOOK FOR
THE SPARE GYM MATS
WHEN I WAS HIT
BY AN ORANGE GLOW.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
LOOKING FOR MOOSE.
I'M NOT JUST MOOSE'S
GIRLFRIEND, YOU KNOW.
I HAVE INTERESTS.
I'M STUDYING GYMNASTICS.
AFTER COLLEGE, I'M GOING
TO BE A STUNTWOMAN!
SHE FOUND ME
A FEW HOURS LATER.
APPARENTLY,
MY--AHEM--DEVICE
PULSES THAT ORANGE GLOW
AT REGULAR INTERVALS.
LOOK AT THAT!
LOOK! NOTHING
UP MY SLEEVES.
BIG ETHEL'S
PRETTY GOOD AT MAGIC.
WHO KNEW? SHE'S
NEVER DONE THIS
IN PUBLIC.
MAYBE THE PUBLIC
NEVER PAID ATTENTION
WHEN SHE DID IT.
HUH?
[PULSING]TA-DA!
NOW, FOR MY NEXT TRICK...
WELL, THAT WAS PRETTY COOL,
BUT IT WASN'T MY NEXT TRICK.
AH, WHERE DID
YOU GUYS COME FROM?
AND HOW LONG
HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?
IT'S WORSE THAN I
SUSPECTED, ARCHIE.
EVERY TIME
THE PULSE ACTIVATES,
IT GETS LARGER.
NEXT TIME IT WILL FILL
THE WHOLE TOWN.
AND THEN...
RIVERDALE WILL BECOME
A REAL GHOST TOWN!
[BOY YAWNING]
HUH?
WE'VE GOT TO WARN THEM.
WE'VE ALREADY TRIED.
NO ONE NOTICED.
IN THIS STATE,
WE HAVE VIRTUALLY
NO EFFECT
ON THE PHYSICAL WORLD.
GO AHEAD.
SEE HOW HARD
IT IS TO MOVE
THOSE PAPERS.
HUH?
Dilton: CONCENTRATE
AND FOCUS ON THE PAPERS.
UHH! UHH!
[PANTING] WHOA!
[STRAINING] UHH!
[PANTING] WHOO!
THAT WAS TOUGH.
THAT SHOULD HOLD YOU.
SEE? IT TOOK
ALL YOUR STRENGTH
JUST TO MOVE
SOME PAPER.
Midge: ALTHOUGH,
FOR SOME REASON,
IT WASN'T HARD TO CLICK
MR. WEATHERBY'S STAPLER
OR BANG OPEN
THE LOCKERS.
IT'S UNFORTUNATE
THAT NO ONE SEEMS
TO KNOW MORSE CODE
AT THIS SCHOOL.
WAIT A MINUTE!
BOTH THE LOCKERS
AND THE STAPLER
ARE MADE OF METAL.
WHY, I'LL BE
SUPER-AMALGAMATED!
OF COURSE!
THE MOLECULAR DENSITY
OF METALS ALLOWS US TO
STILL TOUCH AND HOLD THEM.
SO WE CAN STILL TOUCH
AND HOLD ANYTHING METAL.
AND WE CAN HARDLY MOVE
OR TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.
SO WHY DON'T WE
FIND A METAL TOOL
IN YOUR LAB
AND USE IT
TO FLIP YOUR DEVICE
INTO REVERSE?
I TRIED!
THE SPILLOVER RADIATION
MAKES IT NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE
TO EVEN GET CLOSE
TO THE DEVICE.
IT'S LIKE TRYING TO PUSH
A BOULDER UP A HILL.
HEY, THERE'S SOME
PRETTY FUN THINGS
ABOUT BEING A GHOST!
LIKE WALKING
THROUGH WALLS!
REGGIE'S SETTING UP
HIS PRESENTATION
FOR THE COIN CLUB
NEXT DOOR.
NOW I CAN GET
A BETTER LOOK
AT THAT 1912 BALTIMORE
BULLOCK 7-CENT PIECE.
I'VE GOT A PLAN!
BUT I NEED EVERYONE'S HELP.
YOU MEAN I'LL GET
TO HELP YOU
WITH ONE OF YOUR
WEIRD MYSTERIES? COOL!
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO BE IN YOUR COLUMN.
SURE! WHY
SHOULD BETTY
AND VERONICA
HAVE ALL
THE FUN?
LET'S DO IT.
OK, REGGIE, THE ENTIRE
COIN CLUB WILL BE HERE
IN A MOMENT.
JUST STAY CALM AND
LET YOUR MAGNIFICENCE
SHINE FORTH.
BOY, EVEN WHEN
HE'S NERVOUS,
HIS EGO IS
ENORMOUS!
ALL RIGHT, BIG ETHEL.
DO YOUR MAGIC!
OK, BUT I'VE NEVER
DONE THIS IN FRONT
OF AN AUDIENCE.
[KISSES]
HUH? HEY!
THAT'S MINE!
NOW YOU SEE IT...
NOW YOU DON'T.
WHOA! AAH!
UHH!
Reggie:
WHERE'D IT GO?[LAUGHING]
WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU
TO GET THE COIN AND REGGIE
TO THE LAB, MIDGE.
WE'LL MEET YOU THERE.
Big Ethel:
GOOD LUCK!
Midge: OK, TALL, DARK,
AND CONCEITED.
ARE YOU LOOKING
FOR THIS?
THERE YOU ARE.
HUH? [GRUNTS]
I THINK THE FISH HAS
NOTICED THE BAIT.
[GASPS]
COME BACK HERE!
HUH?
UHH! UHH!
THE GUY AT THE COIN SHOP
DIDN'T TELL ME THAT
IT COULD DO THAT!
IT MUST BE WORTH A FORTUNE!
STAND ASIDE.
MANTLE THE MAGNIFICENT
COMING THROUGH!
[PANTING] I'M GONNA
HAVE TO PRACTICE THAT
MOVE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
Reggie: AHA!
I'VE GOT YOU CORNERED!
NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!
UHH!
HUH?
I'M GOING TO MAKE
A GREAT STUNTWOMAN!
GET READY! HERE COMES
THE COIN...AND REGGIE.
AAH! OOF!
Reggie: OW!
THAT HAD TO HURT.
OK, MIDGE. I'LL
TAKE IT FROM HERE.
THIS BETTER HAPPEN SOON.
THE DEVICE IS ABOUT
TO PULSE AGAIN
AND TURN THE WHOLE
HIGH SCHOOL INTO GHOSTS!
ALL RIGHT, COIN!
NOW IT'S PERSONAL.
AHA! THERE YOU ARE.
I'VE GOT TO PUSH THIS
TO THE REVERSE SWITCH.
[GRUNTING]
THE RADIATION IS
PUSHING ARCHIE BACK
FROM THE DEVICE.
HE'S GOT TO GET
TO THE SWITCH
BEFORE REGGIE
SNATCHES THE COIN.
YEAH!
HA! NOW YOU'RE
MINE AGAIN.
HUH?
HEY! WHERE'D YOU
GUYS COME FROM?
ARCHIE, QUICK!
GET IN FRONT
OF THE DISH BEFORE
IT'S TOO LATE!
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
ARCHIE'S NOT HERE.
[GASPS]
OH, NO. I CAN'T
SHUT IT OFF!
IT'S GOING
TO PULSE AGAIN!
Archie: RELAX, DILTON!
IT'S COVERED.
I'M CONFUSED!
YOU'RE ALWAYS CONFUSED,
REGGIE. GET USED TO IT!
DON'T LET IT GET
YOU DOWN, BIG GUY.
THAT WAS QUITE
AN ADVENTURE!
Veronica: OH,
ARCHIE-KINS!
HUH?
OH, ARCHIE-KINS,
I HAVE 5 FREE TICKETS
FOR THE MOVIES.
WE'VE GOT ONE
TICKET LEFT.
WANT TO COME AND
KEEP ME COMPANY?
WELL, IT'S BACK
TO THE LAB.
IT WAS FUN
WHILE IT LASTED.
AT LEAST I HAD
A GREAT ADVENTURE.
TIME TO DISAPPEAR,
I GUESS.
NOT TONIGHT,
VERONICA.
I'M GOING TO
SPEND THE EVENING
WITH SOME OF MY
OTHER FRIENDS.
Archie: A TOAST!
TO GOOD FRIENDS!
All: TO GOOD FRIENDS!
Archie: BECAUSE THEY'RE
QUIET, SHY,
DON'T QUITE WEAR
THE RIGHT CLOTHES,
OR AREN'T AS FLASHY
AS THE MORE POPULAR KIDS,
SOME KIDS FEEL INVISIBLE.
I WAS GUILTY
OF TREATING DILTON, MIDGE,
AND BIG ETHEL LIKE
THEY WERE INVISIBLE
BY NOT REALLY PAYING
ATTENTION TO THEM.
WHEN DILTON'S INVENTION
WENT AWRY, IT REMINDED ME
TO NOTICE AND APPRECIATE ALL
THE GOOD PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.
I HOPE YOU DO, TOO.
IT'S A LESSON I WAS
GRATEFUL TO LEARN...
IN A LITTLE TOWN
CALLED RIVERDALE.
