An Incantation of Goats and Despair: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

The Riverdale thread is dying faster than Salem at a sacrificial rite, so here's a thread for the best Archie alumni.

This is an adaptation of a new horror comic by the Riverdale showrunner, Roberto Aguirro-Sacasa, which is thoroughly insane.

It debuts on Netflix on October 26th.

Yes, it will have Sabrina's talking cat.

    Well I think it's worth sharing... the trailer alone's generated a lot of hype at other avenues.

    Yeah. The Riverdale thread is dying because it's between seasons. This doesn't start for awhile.

    Having watched all of it this weekend spoiler
    I fear it’s a bit like Hill House but in the polar opposite direction. Basically all the good is erased in the last episode and Sabrina appears to completely embrace the dark. This is exemplified in her hair color change, though I know this is more comic book symbolic.

    I liked it a lot. More than Riverdale S1 I think. But I really need to see where it could go from here with a fully dark magic Brina.

    Nothing. Matters.

    I got through the first five episodes with friends tonight. We are really liking it. It also has something cool when it comes to representation, putting it in spoilers because it is a spoiler on a character (and not something I think was directly stated in the shows first five episodes:
    one of the characters, Susie Putnam, is played by a non-binary actor and the character is also non-binary, though it hasn’t been explicitly stated on the show yet. At least in the first five episodes. The actor gave a statement about it in an interview:

    The one thing that gets me so far
    They establish pretty early that a thing witches do is come back to life.

    And then they keep having things where oh no these witches might die.

    And I have to wonder how these are stakes.

    Also wtf happened with Sabrina’s dad since he never came back to life post crash.

    If I understand it correctly they need soil mixed with Cains Blood which is only on the Spellmans land. And its effectiveness lessens over time as seen with the Aunts.
    As for the Dad I wager he was murdered anyway and it was over an ocean specifically so they couldnt find his body

    Episode 2 was great, and basically redid one of my favorite scenes from the comic, but it was even creepier in the comic since
    the goat is slaughtered and the devil actually shows up. The end with the teacher made up for it, though.

    Feel like Madame Satan is not nearly as terrifying here. She's more of a lackey and not a force of nature.

    That witch school is just for that one coven.

    The only thing that didn't make sense to me in the end is how the hell they can maintain doing that dumb dark feast every year.

    Well they’d only been doing it since Sabrina’s dad died. It was outlawed before that.

    They had been doing it before he died and they didn't say exactly when he outlawed it.

    Like, it was a tradition from the 1600s that had been continued until Sabrina's dad said to stop.

    And they had been doing it for...how long have her parents been dead for in the series? I just know she's 16 and they died when she was a kid. That's still a lot for what looks to be a teeny tiny coven.

    Its not the only school
    there are multiple covens and they each have their own branch of the church and school

    Also they do have internet, they use it a few times.

    @Aphostile
    I actually think this show has a much sweeter heart than riverdale. I suspect this is more of a "down point cliffhanger" than the actual new direction of the show, and bet Brina gets out of it somehow
