Netflix Reveals Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s Opening Credits

The inaugural season of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina drops this Friday, October 26, just in time for Halloween. Two days ahead of its premiere, the show’s official Twitter account has posted the opening credits sequence, which you can check out below.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina‘s artwork in the clip was lifted directly from the comic book series that inspired it. However, Robert Hack’s original character designs have understandably been tweaked, to better match the actors portraying the characters. When the credits reference the character’s ’60s origins, however, a panel is shown from the original Archie Comics. This sequence also gives us our first listen to the new series’ theme music. Unlike the buoyant, guitar-based intro from the ’90s sitcom, this new theme instills a mood that is significantly darker. With fast-paced violins and a heavy dose of Theremin, the composition hearkens back to several beloved horror films from the ‘70s and ‘80s.
