>Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa discussed the idea in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. The towns of Riverdale and Greendale (Sabrina’s home) are separated by the Sweetwater River, which could act as a barrier between the magical and non-magical worlds. “On the other side of the mythic river, which is sort of like the River Styx, there’s magic and witches and dark Lovecraftian horrors.”

It better be a good lovecraft. I dont want just a generic tentacle or cthulu
Cooper Cooper
Sounds more kafkaesque to be honest.

How can you have Lovecraft without tentacles?

k-kino?

sounds VERY lovecraftian

How can Riverdale not be magical if Betty and Veronica are witches in the comic?
Ian Morgan
As long as they dont force my waifu to date a black guy

You...don't want a Sabrina series with tentacles?

What stupid idea.
Sabrina is a a fucking Archie Comic character. She lives with two meddlesome Aunts and a talking cat. The program has always been a teenage comedy with the premise being essentially the same as Bewitched.
Why not simply make a proper Sabrina program, or make a program based on the works of Lovecraft. You can't merge these two, just because there's 'magic' involved.
Brayden Parker
Why even call it Sabrina and make it a "reboot" if it's gonna be that different from the original series?
How hard can it be to come up with a new teenage witch character?
Jason Parker
and Archie is a superhero
John Brooks
When can we expect Afterlife with Archie?
Brody Richardson
it isn't based on the regular Archie lines, but rather the Archie Horror label
Henry Jackson
>displaying anything in a visual medium
>calling it 'lovecraftian'
how do so many people completely miss the point of his work? It's literally pulp fiction, not deep philosophy. Jesus the fucking brainlets

Nope.
Jason Brown

can we end this meme pls?
It actually physically hurts everytime someone says this shit
Easton Howard
Riverdale itself was based on a more serious and "dark" Archie reboot. It was surprisingly successful so they did it with Sabrina.
At least I think that's how it went.
Gavin Bennett
what if cthulu wasn't just a story?
Thomas Watson
Whoa.....
Gabriel Kelly
Then you'd bitch that it's just ripping off sabrina.
Logan Carter
it probably hurts your tiny pea brain to even read words on a screen considering your brain is so smalla s to think you can visually display a genre largely based around the observer seeing things that are so indescrably different it drives them insane.
try filiming in another colour too!
Juan Cooper
Riverdale has nothing in common with any of the Archie comics, including the horror ones
It's just Twin Peaks Lite with characters named after Archie and His Pals but with little to nothing in common with them

cant be Lovecraftian if it doesnt give you a Lunacy roll based on perception, ignorance is bliss.

His big complex is raceMIXING. Any story of his which is about "impure blood" and "inherited sin" is an allegory for it, and there's a lot of them.
Carter Ward
Im actually surprised they kept Harvey white
Eli Baker
fellas
Jose Carter
Thanks user now i can sleep
Nicholas Reed
amen
Angel Lopez
They made him more white which probably means they're going to make Sabrina black
Leo Lewis
it's gonna be dark and gritty.
Lovecraftian elements will have a twist: human-fishkind breeding will be a good thing
Joseph Watson
>which probably means they're going to make Sabrina black
user, Kiernan Shipka is playing Sabrina.
Ryder Parker
Shit, I never knew it was based on comic books. I read a book series as a kid and assumed that was the original media. They're probably garbage but I liked them.

Sabrina is getting tentacle'd by c'thulu in one comic and is a satan-worshipping witch whose bf got his face eaten in another comic, but Netflix is going to make a shitty boring show anyway.
Easton Sullivan
They still can't even figure out how to make acid trips look realistic. It's going to basically be like anime, if it's good at all.
Carter Butler

Gavin Hill
>Lovecraftian
That word doesn't mean what it originally meant anymore. Overuse and misuse by plebs who've never read Lovecraft have just turned it into a synonym for "spooky".
Ryan Hernandez
I hope it's as lovecraftian as the cartoon
Jacob Cooper
it will look like riverdale but with spooky skeletons. Those chuckle fucks don't even know what loftcraftian means or that showing tentacles or whatever was totally loftcraft. Disgusting.
Anthony Butler
Lovecraft means alien tentacle monsters that make you go insane

yeah, that and some ancient civilizations, cosmic horror and non-euclidean geometry
Isaac Moore

the best
Nathaniel Morales
So True Detective really was loftcraftian only with it lacking a the crazy pay off, even though it was hinted at?
Connor Green
yup, season one surely was inspired by Lovecraft. a good take even imo, kinda opened new narrative posibilites with all that post 60s hippie white trash stuff and a lil bit of new age, it was fairly enjoyable
Daniel Brown
bone tomahawk is also pretty lovecraftian and didn't have that big cosmic payoff neither. check out the mound, a Lovecraft tale set in the far west. it's a cool meme to laugh about it, but that doesn't mean that writers and producers aren't mining the guy's stuff to make new films and narratives, that's totally happening
Nolan Clark
>Sup Forums caring about the lore for Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Who the fuck cares? The only thing that matters is if they continue with the Totally Spies level of fetish pandering.
Justin Barnes
so are you saying "ominous atmosphere" means Lovecraftian now?

Did you give a fuck when Archie experimented with genres and presentation, too? You're an ignoramus.
Hunter Anderson
>You're an ignoramus.
Juan Garcia
Sure. I think it happens all the time but considering most people don't actually read Lovecraft they don't realize his general influence. On Stephen King for starters. Even obscure stuff like his dreamland stories. What bothers me is that it's reduced to gore and tentacles which it never really was about. Or at least it was mostly just some abstract thing that's seen less than Hitler in Indiana Jones. Only movie that worked going full retard horror is The Thing and some other movie I forgot the name off. Maybe Reanimator too, but Lovecraft didn't even like Reanimator because it was just him trying to make money.
