The series, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, is a horror twist on the original ''ComicBook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' mythos. Characters like cousin Ambrose are brought back and the overall story is more similar to the pre-[[Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch sitcom]] incarnations, but with a darker mood.

A television adaptation of the comic is airing on Creator/{{Netflix}}, having received an initial two-season order. It was originally announced as being in development at the Creator/TheCW, where it would serve as a spin-off to their other Creator/ArchieComics series ''Series/{{Riverdale}}''. Creator/KiernanShipka (''Series/MadMen'') has been cast in the title role.

After the success of ''ComicBook/AfterlifeWithArchie'' it became clear that Franchise/ArchieComics really could take a well-known, family friendly franchise and give it a horrifying twist. So why not try it again with their ''other'' popular series?

The relations are also similar, with one of the goons being the older brother of the victim's best friend, and the younger brother telling the protagonist about the thing they're searching for (dirty magazines vs. a dead body).
