Tim Burton’s 1999 film, Sleepy Hollow, stars Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane, a detective sent to a secluded village to solve a string of gruesome murders – each victim is found beheaded. Crane attempts to use logic and reason in a town gripped by fear and tales of a vengeful, undead horseman. What starts as a straightforward investigation quickly becomes a battle between scientific thinking and the supernatural, and Crane soon realizes he’s in over his head. The film is a captivating reimagining of the classic Headless Horseman story and widely considered the most successful adaptation of Washington Irving’s original tale.
