    So my hometown is actually Sleepy Hollow NY. I remember in Kindergarten going on a “field trip” which was just us walking down the road to the cemetery and being shown everyone’s graves including the stick that marks the headless horseman’s grave. Also remember a number of trips to the haunted bridge which still gives me the creeps. Halloween is a BIG deal in the town and still the best scary hayride I had ever been on. And even though this doesn’t follow the plot of the actual legend, as a kid, I loved having a major movie out there about our town legend with Johnny Depp as Ichabod as well!

    This movie is basically Tim Burton's love letter to a style of film popularly called "Hammer Horror", named for the studio that invented the style. Hammer Horror is known for using gothic stylings, a cast of British stage/screen legends (Christopher Lee was common in them, thus the cameo), and--most of all--bright, vivid, technicolor blood.

    • @nickreacts6394
      @nickreacts6394  2 года назад +20

      This is quite interesting, I had no idea... but I can say from what you're describing that I think Burton really nailed that style, and it's very cool he cast an actor who performed frequently in that genre. Thanks for telling me about this!

    • @dorkandproudofit
      @dorkandproudofit 2 года назад +6

      @@nickreacts6394 Yeah, Tim grew up with that genre and it HEAVILY influenced his personal style. Some other key factoids about Hammer Horror: Among the regular actors in those movies was Peter Cushing, aka Grand Moff Tarkin from Star Wars ANH! Also, as I said, Christopher Lee was a regular... as none other than Dracula. And if you look at the cameo in this movie again, specifically where he first mentions Sleepy Hollow by name. There are wings behind him, and if you add his high collar to the mix, you get a surprisingly Dracula-like image...

      Johnny was dating Winona Ryder who played Ricci’s older sister in the movie “mermaids” in the year 1990. Ryder was 18 and Ricci was 10 when Ryder called Depp to answer a question Ricci asked Ryder about what homophobic meant. Depp explained it to Ricci, so I’d understand how Depp probably felt like and older brother to Ricci.

    A kooky fave of mine. Walken does great work without saying a word, and Ricci's paleness is perfect for Burton's memento mori aesthetic.

    The Nostalgia Critic had an interesting theory about Burton's choice of style in this movie, especially the brightness of the blood. It could be an homage on the old Hammer Horror Movies. These were the first horror movies in colour and they have a similar colour style scheme like Sleepy Hollow has. The similarities are definitely there.

    The five pointed star (also known as a Pentagram) Katrina draws in the church and under Icabod's bed is actually a form of protection.
    It's interesting how they're perceived as being connected to the Devil or some form of devil worship when in fact they were used as a means of protection from evil. The Amiens Cathedral in Paris has a motif of the Pentagram on the North Rose window

    • @AmberVivicide
      @AmberVivicide 2 дня назад

      The pentagram with the center pointing up is a symbol of protection, with it pointing down (inverted) is a symbol of evil. Same with the upside-down (inverted) cross. In Christianity its the cross of Saint Peter who requested his cross be turned upside-down to reflect that the values of those crucifying him were upside-down. While in other cultures is signifies anti-christianity and satanism. There are tons of symbols with multiple meanings depending on culture or time period.

  • @Indego84

    The original story leaves a lot up to the reader's imagination. Ichabod disappears at the end of the story, but it's left vague whether he was killed by the Headless Horseman or simply ran away and never came back. Also, the true nature of the horseman itself is pretty mysterious. There's enough evidence, or lack of evidence, depending on your perspective, throughout the story to support it being a real supernatural force or just a prank cooked up by the local bullies.

    I think it's awesome that the Headless Horsemen when he's actually headless is played by Ray Park, who is a fantastic stuntman and a great actor. The two other roles I can remember him in off the top of my head are Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and Toad from the original X-Men movie. He's absolutely awesomeness personified.

Ricci spoke about it being kind of strange at the time because she knew Johnny since she was 9 and Depp also felt strange about it at the time. Didn't stop them from going on to do more movies together in romantic roles. But I do agree I really did like them as Ichabod and Katrina together.

    This movie is one of Burtons gems. Horror, supernatural detective movie. that still manages to be fun, and gory. and creepy. I remember as a kid my aunties were watching this movie and I peaked in and saw the scene where the headless horsemen killed the youngun who was about my age at the time. I remember I coulnt sleep that night because I was afraid the horsemen would come for me. because the illusion of "he wouldnt come after me Im a kid" was shattered. completely.

    Okay, so the story of the Headless Horseman originated from the celtic myth of the Dullahan, a mounted warrior that carried it's head in it's hand and rode after people doomed to die. Basically the grim reaper on a horse. These legends migrated to the New World. After the American Revolution, a dullahan legend attached itself to a small New York village named Sleepy Hollow. The legend claims that a hessian soldier (German mercenaries hired to support the British forces during the war) lost his head to a cannon ball in battle and now his spirit endlessly hunts for his head. This legend came across the ears of an American essayist named Washington Irving, who turned the story into a short novel about a teacher named Ichabod Crane who gets pursued by the Horseman. This movie takes creative liberties with the original, turn Crane into a criminal investigator trying to solve the mystery of Sleepy Hollow. If the version you read was by Washington Irving, that was the original. I also recommend you check out Disney's version. Try to find the version that has a history of Washington Irving if you can (I think it was an episode of The Wonderful World Of Disney, though the main story was originally released in theaters along side The Wind in the Willows). In fact, here's two RUclips videos that together make up that special: ruclips.net/video/DGIXnqHaGSc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hGDWSy9Woug/видео.html
    3:50 - Modern methods of criminal investigation based on evidence and deductive reasoning didn't really exist until the late 19th century. Even that late it was standard practice to just round up 'the usual suspects' and beat them until one of them confessed.
    7:32 - Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean people aren't out to get you.
    8:37 - There's a reason for that.
    12:38 - Listen closely to the background in this scene. Several of the audio effects (particularly the croaking of the frogs) were used in the Disney version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
    25:08 - First time I saw this I INSTANTLY knew they were wrong about what was going on. Want to know how? Consider the mark's orientation.

The dude whose head spins was Harry’s Uncle Vernon, and our villainess is the reporter, Rita Skeeter. The town doctor is Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars, too. So many great actors.
