Sleepy Hollow (1999)Synopsis: Director and gothic kingpin Tim Burton (Batman, Batman Returns, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Planet Of The Apes) gives Washington Irving's classic period-folklore-horror a gothic touch. Depp (Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands) plays Ichabod Crane, a streetwise New York City police constable who brings with him modern crime-solving techniques to investigate the brutal murders that have severed the peace in the lazy, hazy town of Sleepy Hollow. But it'll take more than science to make sense of Tim Burton's juiciest villain yet - the Headless Horseman (Walken, Oscar Winner for Best Supporting Actor, The Deer Hunter, Pulp Fiction, The Last Man Standing). Crane arrives to find the victims beheaded and their heads missing. It is then brought to his attention the story of the Hessian Horseman ? former German mercenary who got a kick out of decapitating the locals during the War of American Independence. And somewhere though not explained, he lost his head. Now his ghost ? the Headless Horseman is believed back to instill fear into the hearts of the townfolk. As Crane investigates, he begins to discover the eerie truth behind the town's killer. | Date Released : November 19, 1999 | Casts: Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci and Casper Van Dien Duration : 100 minutes
