If you're a fan of the sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch...Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina may not be for you.

The first trailer for this dark take on the powerful teen (from the makers of Riverdale) promises creepy woods, minotaurs, the occult, and a terrifying cover of "Happy Birthday." And it's just a teaser!

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina stars Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men), whose half-human half-witch identity clashes along with the magical and mortal worlds. A far cry from its '90s cousin, Netflix describes CAOS as "tonally in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist." So...no animatronic cat?

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina hits Netflix Oct. 26.
