Trivia[]
- Certain details and scenes in the novel are adapted almost verbatim from the tie-in comic series, specifically Issue #6, "Chock'lit of Horrors". The main storyline of the novel also acts as a partial adaptation and expansion of the four stories seen in the Riverdale One-Shot.
- While researching Veronica for her article about her, Betty discovers that Veronica once bought Saks' entire shoe department so that no other female student at her school could sport the same stilettos she did. This is a reference to something Veronica did in the Archie Comics, only to repent and give the shoes to Betty.
