‘Chilling Adventures Presents: Truth or Dare’ – One-Shot Comic Pays Tribute to ’90s Teen Horror

Coming later this month from Archie Comics is the one-shot Chilling Adventures Presents: Truth or Dare, billed as an homage to the late ’90s/early ’00s teen horror wave.

This brand new tale is part of Archie’s “Chilling Adventures Presents” anthology series, dedicated to standalone one-shots with the vibe of Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt.

In Truth or Dare, “When new student Trula Twyst comes to Riverdale, her mysterious and quiet nature doesn’t mix well with the squeaky-clean façade of Riverdale High. Tormented by her past and with a keen interest in Behavioral Psychology, she sets her sights on dismantling the traditional high school hierarchy from within. How? By a simple game of Truth or Dare.”

The Archie Comics team tells Bloody Disgusting this week, “This horror one shot is smart, sexy, and for fans of movies like Escape Room, Saw, and Girl, Interrupted.”

Truth or Dare was written by Ron Robbins, featuring art by Laura Braga. The 32-page, full-color comic will be selling for $3.99, and you’ll be able to grab your copy on July 17.

Writer Ron Robbins previews, “I had a lot of inspiration for this story dancing around my brain – SAW, Mean Girls, Jawbreaker, Escape Room, Game Night, Beverly Hills 90210: S1E13, to name just a few. I was influenced by decades of iconic, unstable, deranged female characters, some of whom weren’t given the gift of compassion and the opportunity for therapy.

“I was excited to write a full story about such a unique and classic Archie character as Trula Twyst,” Robbins continues. “Even more so, I was inspired to write a horror story that didn’t involve anything tied to the supernatural. Instead, the baddies in this story are adolescence, betrayal, trauma – all the human things we only wish were make-believe.”

Artist Laura Braga adds, “To draw the character of Trula and for the atmosphere of the series, I was inspired by many ‘90s-‘00s horror movies with teenage characters, like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Final Destination. I’m always excited to work on a new Archie Comics project and I’m thrilled to be able to work on a new character and make her come alive with a new design. Trula is an intriguing and mysterious character; I hope you will love her!”
