Just when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more into this series.
In addition to achieving “master of horror” status as a writer/filmmaker, Clive Barker is also a prolific painter, and io9 informs us today that Barker’s original artwork will adorn the walls of the Academy of Unseen Arts in Netflix’s upcoming series, “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”!
The site learned on their visit to the set that Barker “has contributed over 150 paintings to grace the walls of Greendale’s bewitching academy.”
“[Clive Barker and I] spoke about kind of the idea and the themes behind what we were doing here and he said, ‘Why don’t you come down, spend the weekend, take a look through all the artwork and pick out what you want?’”, production designer Lisa Soper explained to the site.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled while watching the show later this month!
You can check out Barker’s paintings over on his official website.
“Chilling Adventures” is an hour-long drama that will reimagine the story of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age tale that traffics in horror, the occult and witchcraft.
“This adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit.”
The series is headed our way on October 26.
