    Default Netflix's The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

    We have a trailer.




    And is it just me or was was this trailer's rendition of "Happy Birthday" less scary than the one Betty sang to Jughead in Riverdale?

    I dig it; a lot pulled from the comics for sure. I really really like the lighting.

    Does this share continuity with Riverdale? Is the Riverside team behind this? If so hard pass.

    Yea, I feel the same depending on how much of the CW bench is playing on this team. But this trailer merits at least a first episode watch to me.

    Pretty sure somewhere it said from the producers of Riverdale.

    Supposedly they dropped the idea of sharing a universe with Riverdale when the CW passed on the show and it moved to Netflix.

    I love the comics it's based off of, so I'll give it a watch.

    The idea of magic and the occult working in Riverdale's already bat-**** insane universe, is hilarious.

    But it looks like you are right and they wont cross over.

    As expected, and from what I've seen from the trailer, they have really toned down the horror compared to the comics. I knew that this was going to happen, but is kind of a bummer. It's seems like this show is the middle term between the comics and Sabrina, The Teenage Witch.

    And regarding if she chooses or not to be a witch, well, it's not exactly this. She is conflicted between pledging loyalty to the devil and the church of the night or running from it. The comics have already implied that other types of witches, the ones that follow the church of light, exist, but Sabrina's family is historically attached to the church of the night, so you understand why all of this is happening.

    And Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who is the writer of the comics "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" and executive producer of the TV show already said that there won't be a crossover with Riverdale.

    I've been watching "Bewitched" on DVD lately and the concept of a witch interests me right now just enough to check this out. I'd prefer a "Bewitched" revival since that's the one that led to the original Sabrina to begin with but a happily married comedy couple just doesn't seem to be the style for either Netflix or the CW though a darker continuation of Samantha decades after we last saw her could be interesting. Still, you take what you can get so I'll definitely check this out.

    As a horror follower & not a fan of anything Archie. TCAS is truly a marvel of inspired wonder. The horror Archie books were done 100% right on the money. If they can stay true to the source material, I will absolutely love this.

    However, I'm getting a bad feeling with this alarming "boyfriend" nonsense that they always try to shoehorn in anything TV teen-girl related. I'm giving it a chance, but If I start seeing sparkly angst boyfriend/witch-shtick then it's a wrap & ruined.

    I will sacrifice 10 good souls to have Salem voiced by a very snarky Paul Lynde voice impersonator! This would be pure winning.

    Get Steve Carroll to do it. He played Uncle Arthur brought forth from the television show into the "real world" in the "Bewitched" movie and did an absolutely perfect impersonation of Paul Lynde's Uncle Arthur.
