Everyone’s talking about… the mispronunciation of ‘Samhain’ on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Over the course of the weekend, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina landed on Netflix.
And naturally people immediately got bet in.
But it wasn’t long before Irish viewers found themselves squirming over the mispronunciation of the word ‘Samhain’.
While characters made reference to Sam-Hane, Irish viewers shrieked the correct pronunciation from behind their couch cushions before turning to Twitter to shriek it there.
