Canon Foreigner: Thelma Dumkey is added as an alternative love interest for Ichabod and/or Brom. Thelma's father, Fritz Vanderhoof, is obviously also a new character. Winthrop Palmer, the deceased previous schoolmaster, who comes back as a ghost. Or does he? |

Agent Scully: As in the later Tim Burton version, Ichabod starts off as a sensible rationalist rather than being the superstitious dope that he was throughout the original story. |

Shout-Out: At one point, Thelma Dumkey tells Brom Bones, "Katrina couldn't handle a big old bear like you." Dick Butkus, who plays Brom Bones, used to play for the Chicago Bears. |

Composite Character: In the original story, Brom Bones had a gang of unnamed accomplices. Here, they're pared down to just one sidekick, Frederic Dutcher. |

High Turnover Rate: Sleepy Hollow tends to go through schoolmasters very quickly, reportedly due to Brom Bones, ghosts, or possibly both. |
