Line 3: {{quote\|''[[Off with His Head\|Heads will roll.]]''\|'''A poster advertising the film.'''}} ''[['''Sleepy Hollow ~~(Film)\|Sleepy Hollow]]~~''''' is a 1999 period horror film directed by [[Tim Burton]], interpreting the legend of The Headless Horseman and based loosely upon the Washington Irving story "[[The Legend of Sleepy Hollow]]". The third film collaboration between [[Johnny Depp]] and Burton, the film also features [[Christina Ricci]], Sir Michael Gambon, Miranda Richardson, Casper Van Dien, Jeffrey Jones, Ian McDiarmid, Michael Gough, Richard Griffiths and [[Christopher Walken]]. The story centers on police constable Ichabod Crane sent from New York City to investigate a series of murders in the village Sleepy Hollow by a mysterious Headless Horseman. The style and themes of the story take inspirations from the late [[Hammer Horror\|Hammer Film Productions]]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: The original description of Ichabod Crane sounded ''nothing'' like Johnny Depp. Line 76: [[Christopher Walken]], surprising nobody, as The Hessian/Headless Horseman can be frighteningly hammy even without saying a line except yelling maniacally. And the [[One-Scene Wonder\|special appearance]] of [[Christopher Lee]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdR4sA0MwEw also counts]. * [[Last Grasp Atat Life]]: How {{spoiler\|Lady van Tassel's hand appears in the Tree of the Dead when the Hessian drags her to hell.}} * [[Light Is Not Good]]: {{spoiler\|Ichabod's father's eye-searingly white church hides a dungeon filled with torture devices.}} ** Played with with Katrina. As she the only character to dress in light colors and ride a white horse, her significance is clear ~~immidiately~~immediately to a [[Genre Savvy]] viewer. When combined with her witchcraft, this makes her legitimately ~~suspcious~~suspicious by the time {{spoiler\|Ichabod accuses her of controlling the horseman. In the end, though, [[Light Is Good\|she turns out to be a good guy after all.]]}} {{quote\|'''Ichabod''': Villainy wears many masks, none of which is so dangerous as virtue.}} * [[Loophole Abuse]]: Sure the Headless Horseman can't enter hallowed ground {{spoiler\|but that doesn't mean he can't tie a piece of the fence to a rope, impale his next victim and drag him out that way before beheading him}}.
