10 Horror TV Shows That Broke All The Rules

10. Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina - It Broke The Comic Curse

It is a rule of life that it is not cool to watch Riverdale. If you say you watch Riverdale, people will laugh and they will think you have bad taste. So it was quite stunning when the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina came to Netflix and suddenly everyone was all over it with no shame at all.

For those that don’t know, the two shows are both based on characters from Archie Comics and so exist in the same universe. They have the same sort of exaggerated, cliched characters and glossy aesthetics, but thanks to some far superior writing and plot, Sabrina managed to break the non-cool-rule of Archie Comics shows!

The trademark aesthetic turned out to work pretty well with a horror twist, really making the instances of gore pop in all their shiny, bloody glory. The characters, whilst somewhat predictable, were fairly interesting and managed to appeal to the teen audiences of Riverdale without alienating adults the same way. It’s actually quite impressive when you think about it.
