* SameCharacterButDifferent: In the older ''Sabrina'' comics, Ambrose was stout, mustachioed and middle-aged, and the calm, reasonable counterpoint to the short-tempered, impulsive Hilda. In this comic he's slim, clean-shaven, teenaged and impetuous, having been expelled from boarding school for magical DisproportionateRetribution over a minor prank.

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?

* DarkerAndEdgier
* DogsAreDumb: Referenced. Zelda states that dogs aren't smart enough to be {{familiar}}s.
* MythologyGag: The title is a reference to an otherwise unrelated 70s ''Sabrina'' series named "''Chilling Adventures in Sorcery as Told By Sabrina"'' which also had horror stories in it.
* PeriodPiece: Written in TheNewTens but it takes place in TheSixties.
