Sleepy Hollow is a 1999 film directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci. This movie is based on the classic tale "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving. The genres that the movie depicts are fantasy, Gothic, horror, action, adventure, and romance. I first watched this movie on Halloween during my sophomore year of high school. It was on channel 49 where ABC Family took place before Freeform took over. I found this movie to be very intriguing and awesome. I never mind rewatching it again for Halloween.

The movie takes place in 1799, which is 23 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed. One night, three people are decapitated by a brutal murderer. News of the murder spread to New York City and the city authorities find it uncanny. To deal with this mystery, the city sends Constable Ichabod Crane to investigate it in the strange town called Sleepy Hollow. The constable agrees to go and finds this to be the most challenging and perplexing case to solve. As he enters Sleepy Hollow, he learns from the townspeople about the story of a Hessian soldier from the American Revolution who got decapitated. After he was resurrected, he looked for his missing head by decapitating innocent people.

While Ichabod learns more about Sleepy Hollow and the headless horseman, the headless horseman appears and kills more people. Ichabod teams up with Katrina Van Tassel and Masbath to find clues that can help him stop the headless horseman. Based on the evidence, he and his friends discover that witchcraft has something to do with the headless horseman and the murders. Who is the sorcerer or sorceress behind this? Is it someone that Ichabod is close with or someone that Ichabod has not been paying much attention to? Find out before your head starts rolling in "Sleepy Hollow."

Hopefully, you will enjoy the movie. "Sleepy Hollow" will not leave you sleepy. Say hello to the headless horseman when you see him, but don't lose your head. He will definitely want it!
