Why We Rated This on for Ages 6 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The stereotyped Veronica is obsessed with clothes and shopping. Veronica's snobbishness is a constant theme. Jughead watches too much TV and eats excessive amounts of junk food.
  • Violence & scariness:

    Archie's pals get turned into zombies, and then into vampires (temporarily, of course). A few vampires get zapped to oblivion by the magical sunstone.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Archie's Weird Mysteries: Archie and the Riverdale Vampires

Parents need to know that sensitive kids may be unnerved by the tentacle-growing potatoes and fang-bearing vampires depicted in this animated feature. Kids who like scary movies will enjoy these tales, and preteens may get more out of the verbal humor and satire on couch potatoes. Teens are likely to want to watch an actual horror movie.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how Jughead's sloth led to his body being overtaken by the evil potato. They may also want to talk about how the image a girl portrays, like Veronica's, may be a mask hiding a stronger, more intelligent girl. Why do girls put on that mask? What would you do in that situation?
