Sleepy Hollow (1999)

On tap tonight is the ultimate film on the headless horseman legend. You’ll be losing your head over Tim Burton’ s Sleepy Hollow! This film is one of my favorite Tim Burton, Johnny Depp collaborations. Sleepy Hollow is moody, atmospheric, frightening and funny all in one of Burton’s masterpieces. Besides Depp, the film has an incredible cast of returning Burton favorites. This film is definitely required viewing for Halloween!

A little trivia for you…one of the movie’s writers is Kevin Yagher, who is best know as a special makeup effects artist responsible for creating Freddy Krueger makeup in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, designing and creating Chucky for the Child’s Play films and created the Cryptkeeper himself for HBO’s Tales from the Crypt series.

Sleepy Hollow is written by Kevin Yagher and Andrew Kevin Walker based on the story by Washington Irving. It is directed by Tim Burton. The film stars Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson, Michael Gambon, Casper Van Dien, Jeffrey Jones, Michael Gough, Christopher Lee and Christopher Walken.

Plot Synopsis

Ichabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of 3 people with the culprit being the legendary apparition, the Headless Horseman.
