Weird tonal shift from the sitcom style of the original
It's faithful to the tone of the comic.
the sitcom version was sort of its own thing/adapted from the archie comics of old.
this one is based off the new reboot that's more horror.
Makes more sense than fucking Riverdale.
Apparently Clive Barker (Creator of Hellraiser, and lots of other Horror novels) donated some 120 paintings to be used in the sets of this. Only reason I heard of this, but still, that's pretty rad. Would explain why the house is fucking loaded with paintings as well, lol.
It's actually 150 paintings.

During a recent set visit to The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, production designer Lisa Soper told me how most of the artwork in the Academy of Unseen Arts—Greendale’s mysterious and dangerous magical school—came courtesy of Barker himself. Soper said she befriended Barker thanks to her work on Sabrina, and chatted with him about the project and her plans for the set design. According to Soper, Barker was immediately on board to help out.
“We spoke about kind of the idea and the themes behind what we were doing here and he said, ‘Why don’t you come down, spend the weekend, take a look through all the artwork and pick out what you want?’” Soper said.
Soper said they’ve amassed a collection of 150 of Barker’s works, which they change over depending on what room of the Academy they’re filming in. Since the school is designed to be a series of identically shaped rooms, designed after the practice of Sacred Geometry, they only needed to build one interchangeable set for a majority of the rooms.
In a sense, Barker’s art is one of the main variables in the magical school’s sea of constants, casting a watchful and horrific eye over the goings-on. Soper said she’s still trying to coax him to the set for a visit, or a possible cameo as a teacher.
This trailer is pretty cool and makes it look like the series is going to be pretty dense, which is promising since from what I could see of Riverdale nothing ever happens in it.
