Three short items landed together: a final trailer for DC Studios' Clayface, a striking variant cover announcement for a new Archie horror comic, and Pluto TV's plans to program October Friday night double features for Halloween. Each item includes concrete dates and creative credits that affect when and how you can watch, buy, or order.

Clayface — final trailer and release info

Production and release details in the announcement:

• Producers: Matt Reeves, Lynn Harris, James Gunn, Peter Safran (with several executive producers listed).
• Key crew: cinematographer Rob Hardy, production designer James Price, editor Jon Harris, costume designer Keith Madden, and composer Volker Bertelmann.

The trailer emphasizes body-horror visuals and the film's themes of identity, scientific ambition, and revenge. The announcement positions Clayface as DC Studios' genre entry into horror.

ARCHIE IN HELL #1 — "Pyre Satanic" variant

Oni Press revealed a "Pyre Satanic" variant cover for ARCHIE IN HELL #1, illustrated by Chloe Brailsford. This variant is an open-order special that joins two other "Pyre Satanic" covers to form a themed set alongside ARCHIE #1 and SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH #1.

• Creative team: writer Patrick Horvath and artist Tyler Crook.

• On-sale date: November 4, 2026.
• Final Order Cut-Off (FOC): September 28, 2026.

Retailers and collectors should note the FOC date if they want to secure copies of the Brailsford variant.

Pluto TV — Double Feature Fridays for October

Pluto TV announced a month-long Halloween programming block of Double Feature Fridays on Pluto TV Spotlight in partnership with Entertainment Tonight. Each Friday at 8 p.m. ET the service will show two back-to-back films paired thematically: a modern fan-favorite and a new indie making its free streaming debut on the platform.

• Entertainment Tonight correspondent Emily Curl will present an original segment before each double feature, drawing on ET's archival interviews and behind-the-scenes access.
• The programming aims to mix familiar titles with lesser-known indie entries to give viewers both recognizable films and new treats.
• Example pairing: the announcement begins the schedule with Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 on October 2, paired with an indie titled The Last Victim (as stated in the lineup start).

If you watch Pluto TV, expect weekly curated horror pairings across October, with ET segments that provide context before the films start.

Bottom line

If you follow horror in film, comics, and streaming TV: mark October 23 for Clayface in theaters, order the ARCHIE IN HELL #1 "Pyre Satanic" variant before September 28, and plan for Pluto TV's Friday night horror pairings throughout October.
