The Night of the Headless Horseman

Based on Washington Irving's classic tale, Ichabod Crane is a lanky, superstitious schoolmaster in the Dutch settlement of Sleepy Hollow. He falls for the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, much to the chagrin of her muscular suitor, Brom Bones. On a dark and stormy night, Ichabod travels home after a party and encounters the legendary Headless Horseman, a Hessian soldier doomed to seek his lost head.
