As tongue-in-cheek as this TV Guide theory is, Riverdale creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa definitely enjoys hinting that there's more than meets the eye going on in this town. Pop, for one, seems convinced that Fred was shot by the Angel of Death. In season 1, Jason and Cheryl even rowed their boat Greendale, Sabrina's town across the river, before he died. Then, of course, there's the fact that the characters on the show resemble Aguirre-Sacasa's Afterlife With Archie comic series much more than they do the original Archie characters.
