In the quiet village of Sleepy Hollow, the locals have a peculiar obsession: ghosts. Most terrible of all, they say, is the Headless Horseman, a Hessian trooper who rises from the grave each night in search of his head. Enter Ichabod Crane, an ambitious new schoolmaster who dreams of capturing the heart of the beautiful and wealthy Katrina van Tassel. But when the handsome prankster Brom Bones discovers Ichabod’s fear of the supernatural, the schoolmaster’s carefully laid plans are put to the test. 

This adaptation faithfully captures the comedy and horror of Irving’s text with larger-than-life characters and a terrifying climax that blurs nightmare and reality.
