51 Q1 2019 / CINEMONTAGE I nspired by the Sabrina the Teenage Witch comic book series from Archie Comics — published intermittently between 1971 and 2009, and turned into the eponymous television series that aired 1996-2003, itself spawning a live-action and an animated TV movie — Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is the latest chapter of the young character, whose first appearance was in the October 1962 issue of the Archie's Madhouse comic series. Fifty-eight years to the month of her first guest-starring role in the comics, Sabrina returned with Chilling Adventures, a reboot that debuted on the streaming service in October 2018. A more gothic take on the characters and settings found in the comic book or the original series, Chilling Adventures is produced by Warner Bros. Television. The show has attracted a committed audience since the streaming of its first 10 episodes, which focused on Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka) during her teenage years in the 1970s. This was followed by a stand-alone Christmas- themed episode. The remaining nine episodes of the first season will drop this April 5, and will be listed as Part Two. Part One of the series received positive reviews, with critics praising Shipka's performance, as well as the premise, visuals and direction of the show — dark, coming- of-age story in which Sabrina reconciles her dual nature as a half-witch, half- mortal, while fighting evil forces that threaten her and her family. Netflix has already renewed the series for a second season of 16 episodes, which also will be split into two parts. Post-production sound for Chilling Adventures is done on Stage 5 at Technicolor at Paramount by supervising sound editor/sound designer Edmond J. Coblentz, Jr. and his team, working closely with dialogue/music re-recording mixer Vicki Lemar and sound effects re- recording mixer Ken Kobett. As Coblentz tells it, "Executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and his co- producer, Amy Myrold, brought Sabrina to us at Technicolor. The process of securing their overall visions for the soundtrack began with collaboration between the picture editors and myself." >>> by Mel Lambert portraits by Martin Cohen Opposite: Ken Kobett, left, Vicki Lemar and Edmond J.
