Full of twists and fun scares, Sleepy Hollow is a supernatural who-done-it wherein Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) tries to find out who is behind the frightening murders in that old town and putt the ghost to final rest. Christina Ricci portrays his love, who happens to be a witch. Entertaining and lavish, make Sleepy Hollow part of your Halloween tradition.
Great movie for Halloween
Continuity mistake: In the flashback to the death of the headless horseman, when the horseman's steed gets shot and falls to the ground, the blood and the wound are on the right side of the horse...later in the scene when the horse is seen again, the wound is on the left side of the horse. (00:16:45)
Ichabod Crane: The millennium is almost upon us. In a few months, we will be living in the nineteenth century. But our courts continue to rely on medieval devices of torture.
High Constable: Stand down.
Ichabod Crane: I stand up for sense and justice.
Trivia: When Crane starts chopping the Tree of the Dead and he gets blood in his face, this was a joke from the directors as they knew he wasn't expecting the blood. You can see the look of surprise on his face. It was well-known among the cast and crew that Johnny Depp (who played Crane) hated anything being sprayed in his face.
Question: When going to kill the Killians, how did the Horseman know that Thomas was hiding under the floor? Thomas stayed completely still and didn't make a sound.
Answer: The horseman saw that the mother was close to where he was hiding.
Answer: It would seem the Horseman possesses a supernatural instinct.
