Sleepy Hollow (film)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • When the heroes are running to hide in the mill, Lady Van Tassel clearly says "Watch your head!" which is funny because they're about to lose it.
  • Upon seeing a spider crawling across the floor, Ichabod squeals, jumps up onto a desk, and refuses to come down until his teenaged assistant deals with the arachnid.
  • Ichabod clearly BS-ing his way through an investigation of one of the Horseman's victims shortly after he arrives in town (followed up by being able to expertly determine some previously-unnoticed details of the beheading using some chemicals and tools from his nifty black bag).
  • Ichabod after realizing that the Headless Horseman is real, complete with this dialogue:

Ichabod: (sitting up in bed completely scared out of his wits) It was a headless horseman!
Baltus: You mustn't excite yourself.
Ichabod: But it was a headless horseman!
Baltus: Of course it was. That's why you're here.
Ichabod: No, you must believe me! It was a horseman, a dead one. Headless.
Baltus: I know, I know.
Ichabod: You don't know because you were not there. It's all true!
Baltus: Of course it is. I told you. Everyone told you.
Ichabod: I...saw him. (faints)
