Archie's Weird Mysteries was an animated series that ran for 40 episodes
between 1999-2000. It was distributed in the US by DIC Entertainment and first
aired on the PAX network. Remember the PAX network? Yeah, I don't blame you.
The series focused on the Riverdale teens encountering all sorts of strange
stuff like zombies, ghosts, and even UFOs after a lab accident goes wrong and
turns the town into a weirdness magnet! It also spawned a tie-in comic series
in 2000 that ran for 34 issues, although it eventually dropped the "Weird" and switched to mundane mysteries.
Among the 40 episodes were a few multi-part story arcs including a 3-parter
called Vampire Night where the climax takes place at a Halloween Party!
Because I stumbled into this while looking for something else on YouTube, I
watched the final episode, Halloween of Horror, without realizing it was the
conclusion. There's enough context to watch it on its own if you just want a
quick fix of Archie and Halloween.
Episode 32 - Scarlet Night
Episode 33 - I Was a Teenaged Vampire
Episode 34 - Halloween of Horror
If you just can't get enough Weird Riverdale, the entire series looks to be posted on WildBrain's YouTube channel.

DeleteI remember Pax network, but I couldn't tell you why. Looking at the programs it aired, nothing jumps out as something I would have watched.
