Burton's version, even if quite foppish, is a Cowardly Lion and a determined man of the law.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: This interpretation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is much more legitimately frightening than the original, most notably thanks to the very real Headless Horseman killing people in cold blood. There are darker themes in this adaptation as well, ranging from transgressive sexual desire to black magic to religious fanaticism. Of course, we can expect nothing less from Tim Burton.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_1777688d	comment	Played with in regards to Katrina. As she is the only character to dress in light colors and ride a white horse, her significance is clear immediately to a Genre Savvy viewer. When combined with her witchcraft, this makes her legitimately suspicious by the time Ichabod suspects her of controlling the Horseman. In the end, though, she turns out to be good after all. Which he's almost certainly thinking about his pious father when he says.

Cue demonstration of said special effects. Ichabod's mother levitates and spins in the woods in one of his childhood flashbacks.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: Ichabod is sprayed in the face with blood when he cuts into a decapitated cadaver. Not only would a long-dead corpse have no blood pressure, but a headless one wouldn't really even have any more blood. It's probably an exceptionally morbid example of Rule of Funny, though (he is, after all, doing an autopsy on someone whose cause of death is quite obvious). There is an attempted hand wave for the latter case, as it's said the Horseman's blade cauterizes the wounds of the heads he cuts off. The Horseman stabs Ichabod in the shoulder, and then flips him over his shoulder. Even if the Horseman has supernatural strength capable of this, Ichabod's body does not; the sword would have sliced/ripped through his body, rather than lifted him.

He's actually manipulated by Lady Van Tassel to kill for her own revenge and, unlike in his previous life, he feels no pleasure in the killings. Moreover, you can see that when he has killed his specific targets, he simply heads back to the forest, not caring of anyone. Even when Brom attacks him, he simply overpowers him and begins to leave, showing that he is not interested in killing him. Unfortunately, Brom is too brash for his own good and so he ends up cleaved in twain.

When he's leaving Sleepy Hollow after believing Katrina is the cause of all the chaos, he looks at them, recalls the scar on Lady Van Tassel's hand, and is able to put two and two together; the cut on the body believed to be Lady Van Tassel was made postmortem, and she faked her death. Katrina gives Ichabod a book, which at first seems just like a gift, but later is pivotal to the plot in two ways. Ichabod is saved from being shot because he wears the book in his jacket. It is reading in this book (it's Katrina's book of spells) that makes Ichabod realize that Katrina is not an evil witch, as he then thought, but a good one; and that she loves him, because he reads that her spell was "to protect a loved one".

The head comes to rest between Ichabod's legs, and the Horseman retrieves it by spearing it on his sword as he rides past, the blade striking inches from Ichabod's crotch. Ichabod faints.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: The original story's Ichabod was a full-blown Dirty Coward who happens to be a Gold Digger and, while his final fate is left pretty ambiguous, it's harder to dispute that he didn't deserve it. Burton's version, even if quite foppish, is a Cowardly Lion and a determined man of the law. Brom, while still a bit of a jerk and a bully, also proves dedicated and courageous in his defense of the town from the Horseman in this version.

VFX supervisor Jim Mitchell mentions in a documentary about the making of the film says that this was a common method of portraying the Headless Horseman in past adaptations, but this did not hold up as a good effect over time due to obvious points, namely the arms coming out where the "waist" would be.

He kills Mr. Killian right away and Beth hides her young son Thomas under the floor to protect him. She's killed next. The Hessian seems about ready to walk away...before stopping, turning back, and then stabbing his sword into the floor. The next scene shows him dropping something into his sack as he leaves the house. One scene involves an autopsy of one of the victims, the Widow Winship. When examining her abdomen, Ichabod notices a strange stab wound. It turns out the Hessian also beheaded her fetus. Subverted in the Horseman's past life. He simply shushed two girls to cover his position instead of simply killing them.Though it is also possible he planned on killing them, but didn't want to risk them alerting the soldiers if they screamed, given even a twig snap was enough to alert them.

He certainly cares for his horse, stroking it when it's dying and happily patting it when they're reunited. In fact, while he was ruthless, he isn't seen killing anyone unarmed while alive, and the moment he gets his head back, he only kills the one responsible for his pain before leaving.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_736d791f	type	Adaptational Badass
Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_736d791f	comment	Adaptational Badass: The original story makes no mention of how capable the Horseman was as a fighter (he died of a random cannonball tearing his head off). The film version has a reputation as one of the most savage mercenaries to have fought in the War of Independence, goes down in a Last Stand and, thanks to his un-death, spends most of his time in the film acting as a near-unstoppable One-Man Army. Brom Bones is a pretty powerfully-built man in the original story, but he never fights anybody. In this film, he manages a pretty impressive Last Stand against the Horseman with Ichabod's help and would probably have won if not for the whole "undead Implacable Man" thing. Ichabod himself becomes much braver and more heroic than the cowardly twerp he was in the original story as a constable who is determined to get at the heart of a very grisly murder mystery. He still starts out terrified of the Horseman (when he realizes it's a real ghost) and of spiders, however. Katrina becomes a white witch powerful enough to cast spells that protect those she loves. She's also able to control two panicked horses to outrun the Horseman when he's after her.

Having seen the Headless Horseman with his own eyes, a panic-stricken Ichabod states this line several times to Baltus, Katrina, and Young Masbath. The catch is that they believe him perfectly well. Played straight later in the film; after Brom's death, Ichabod insists that, despite the supernatural nature of the Horseman, he has proof that the Horseman is not simply acting out of malevolence and that there is a very real human culprit operating behind the scenes and manipulating him. However, since he's been injured and is feverish, he's brushed off.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_83cef301	comment	Right for the Wrong Reasons: Ichabod starts his investigation firmly believing that the Horseman is a man of flesh and blood, and that the Horseman has a human reason to be running around killing people. He's wrong about the Horseman being a human being, but he's right about there being a human motive... namely, the motive of whoever has managed to summon the Horseman from the grave. He also suspects that the culprit is hiding behind "the mask of virtue". He's right but it's not Katrina — rather her stepmother. Young Masbath finding a chalk symbol drawn under Ichabod's bed leads the boy to declare "someone is casting spells against you". Someone is casting spells — in this case Katrina — but it's a spell of protection.

Baltus Van Tassel describes him as a Psycho for Hire who took part in the Revolutionary War to satisfy his bloodlust, and thus one would assume he was an evil sadist. But despite his motives, we never see him cut down anyone during the war who wasn't an enemy soldier. He spares the lives of two little girls who cross his path, even after one alerts the enemy to his presence. In the present day, when he's resurrected as the Headless Horseman, it's established that Lady Van Tassel is controlling him via supernatural means, and he only kills the people she forces him to. When he is finally restored to his original form and freed from Lady Van Tassel's control, he leaves the heroes alone, takes his revenge on Lady Van Tassel, and promptly departs for the afterlife.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: The fact that the Horseman is following orders and hunting down specific targets, and not just a mindless killer who slaughters everything he can is foreshadowed when he initially spares both Ichabod and Brom. When Ichabod shares this realization with Baltus, Doctor Lancaster clearly gets an Oh, Crap! expression on his face, suggesting he already knows how the Horseman is operating. Katrina points out a decorative archer on what's left of the fireplace when she and Ichabod first visit her childhood cottage. It actually figures into the Big Bad's Motive Rant in the climax. When we see the supposed "evil eye" drawn by Katrina at the church, it's notably drawn in pink chalk. Such a color motif hints that its intentions are more benign than it appears. Lady Van Tassel gets a cut on her hand. Her knowing how to treat the wound with local flowers foreshadows that she is a witch, and the fact that she was seen cutting it herself in ritualistic fashion while having extramarital sex shortly before should tell the audience she is not a good witch.

It's probably an exceptionally morbid example of Rule of Funny, though (he is, after all, doing an autopsy on someone whose cause of death is quite obvious).

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_bf3e372	comment	Torture Is Ineffective: Ichabod's tasking in the Burgomaster's courtroom is preceded by a deleted scene, where an inventor is hawking a "foolproof" interrogation device to the law enforcement authorities. The inventor claims that a suspect placed inside his device - which resembles an iron maiden without spikes - will suffer no permanent injury, but have no choice but to confess the truth. Ichabod traps the inventor in his own device and refuses to release him until he signs a confession to the murder of the man discovered the previous night in the river. Of course the inventor had no involvement in the crime, but he is in so much pain that he signs immediately, and Ichabod facetiously holds up the confession as "proof" of the man's guilt. The part of Ichabod's tirade that innocent people are being convicted based on "evidence" and "confessions" of no more worth than "this one" made it into the final cut. Considering what is later revealed to have happened to Ichabod's mother, he was keeping his reaction to the inventor's sales pitch remarkably under control.

Some may need a double take, but others will recognize it immediately from one of Tim Burton's other films. The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad has at least three: The toads by the bridge croaking "Ichabod", a (fake) Horseman throwing a flaming pumpkin on Ichabod (and coming towards the camera), and Ichabod suddenly realizing he's on Daredevil backwards. The fact that Brom disguises himself as the Horseman to freak out Ichabod. When Ichabod borrows a horse from Killian, he's told its name is "Gunpowder," just like his borrowed horse in Irving's short story. Likewise, the Hessian's horse is called "Daredevil" which, in the short story, was the name of Brom's horse. At the end of the film, Ichabod says "The Bronx is up, the Battery's down, and home is this way."

The Horseman grabs a fence post and rope, throws it through the window to spear Baltus, drags him to the fence, and then decapitates him. The fate of Ichabod's mother, inside an iron maiden.

She's very attractive and a mistress of black magic. Katrina practices witchcraft, since she is seen making a potion and chanting a spell when Ichabod falls ill. She goes more toward Cute Witch.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_ca87e3ec	comment	No Name Given: Lady Van Tassel's first name is never revealed. According to the family tree visible in the movie, her name is "Mary Preston." However, since she later reveals that her family name was Archer, it's possible that she went under a completely different pseudonym when she became a caregiver and later wife to Baltus. The crone in the Western Woods is also unnamed. As she's the sister of Lady Van Tassel, we know her last name was Archer. Likewise, the Widow Winship is only ever called that by the other characters. A glance at the document shows that her first name was Emily.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) / int_cf92fea8	comment	Cassandra Truth: Inverted and Played for Laughs. Ichabod spends most of the film's first act as the only person in Sleepy Hollow who doesn't believe the Headless Horseman exists despite the townspeople's repeated warnings and attempts to convince him to take the matter more seriously. Then he gets to meet the undead entity itself and witnesses its head-chopping action firsthand. The next scene then switches to Ichabod cowering in bed, delirious as all hell and somehow convinced that nobody in town wants to take him at his word that he saw the Horseman... even though Baltus is right there, gently trying to remind Ichabod that they all, in fact, do and were the ones who told him so in the first place.

If Lady Van Tassel hadn't cut her hand during sex with Reverend Steenwyck (thus meaning she had to make a similar cut on the hand of Sarah, the servant girl, whose body she was using to fake her death), Ichabod wouldn't have made the connection with his own scars and realized something was up. Namely that, when the cut was made, the headless woman was already dead.

Near the end of the film, she's apparently run off, but in fact Lady Van Tassel murdered her in order to fake her own death. Beth Killian is introduced as a kindly midwife in the town. When it was discovered the Widow Winship was pregnant, she knew the secret and confided in her husband — sealing their fates in the murder plan.

As she is the only character to dress in light colors and ride a white horse, her significance is clear immediately to a Genre Savvy viewer. When combined with her witchcraft, this makes her legitimately suspicious by the time Ichabod suspects her of controlling the Horseman. In the end, though, she turns out to be good after all. Which he's almost certainly thinking about his pious father when he says.
