comment |
The Headless Horseman Rides Tonight: More Poems to Trouble Your Sleep is a monster-themed poetry collection for children. It is a sequel to Nightmares: Poems to Trouble Your Sleep, once more both written by Jack Prelutsky and illustrated by Arnold Lobel. It was released in November of 1980.Contained within the pages of The Headless Horseman Rides Tonight: More Poems to Trouble Your Sleep are twelve poems, which in order are "The Mummy", "The Spectre on the Moor", "The Towering Giant", "The Zombie", "The Kraken", "The Darkling Elves", "The Sorceress", "The Invisible Beast", "The Abominable Snowman", "The Banshee", "The Poltergeist", and "The Headless Horseman". The poems vary in rhyme scheme and length, with most poems fitting a single page. "The Mummy", "The Zombie", and "The Yeti" are each two pages while "The Headless Horseman" takes up three pages. Each page of text is accompanied by a monochrome illustration on the neighboring page, so the longer poems also have more than one illustration.In 1988, Caedmon Audio combined the two collections into one audiobook adaptation on cassette titled Nightmares and the Headless Horseman Rides Tonight: Poems to Trouble Your Sleep. The A-Side contains the Nightmares poems and the B-side the Headless Horseman poems. The narration is by Jack Prelutsky himself, the sound by Don Heckman, and Daniel Wolfert edited it to the final product. |

Don't Go in the Woods: The setting of "The Darkling Elves" is the woods. It is there that the darkling elves dwell, who are always looking for people to steal from and to devour. They hide out in the treetops and once they pounce, they rarely lose their prey. |

comment |
Eyeless Face: The steed of the Headless Horseman in "The Headless Horseman" looks for the most part like a regular mangy flying horse. What stands out about its looks are its hollow eye sockets. |

Sequential Art: The poems spread out over two or three pages, which are "The Mummy", "The Zombie", "The Yeti", and the "The Headless Horseman", have as many illustrations. Just like the poems progress narratively, so do the illustrations. |

Cock-a-Doodle Dawn: The final illustration of "The Headless Horseman" depicts the Headless Horseman at a distance, evidently leaving as the night bows out to the dawn that a lone rooster readies itself to announce. |

comment |
Headless Horseman: In "The Headless Horseman", the black-clad Headless Horseman rides an alabaster steed upon the wind. Beneath his left arm it holds its skeletal head with its "harsh and hollow" voice while with his right arm he wields a scythe. The horseman may or may not be a psychopomp. On one hand, he rides to take a soul with him and anyone could be that soul. On the other hand, the horseman's overall look taps into that of the Grim Reaper and he's also referred to as the "minister of death". |

comment |
Falling Chandelier of Doom: Among the many disturbances the poltergeist in "The Poltergeist" causes, there's the breaking of the rod or chain holding up a chandelier. It falls and shatters into pieces on the floor. |

| | The Headless Horseman Rides Tonight: More Poems to Trouble Your Sleep / int_9a3285c |
comment |
Invisibility: Both the invisible beast and the poltergeist in respectively "The Invisible Beast" and "The Poltergeist" are invisible entities. The beast, instead, makes its presence known through its awful smell and overbearing presence while the poltergeist's arrival is clear from all the disturbances it causes. |

Super-Strength: The mummy in "The Mummy" beats down the walls of his own pyramid with his bare hands to get out. His strength is noted to be of supernatural origin. |

comment |
Mage Species: It is most likely that the sorceress in "The Sorceress" is what she is by species rather than occupation. Mostly because every other creature in the poetry collection is what they are by either birth or death. |

| | The Headless Horseman Rides Tonight: More Poems to Trouble Your Sleep / int_c36f6d6c |
comment |
Mummy: For undisclosed reasons, the mummy in "The Mummy" wakes up after centuries of death-sleep. He escapes the labyrinthine halls of his pyramid in part by simply knocking down walls with supernaturally imparted power. Once outside, it has no greater purpose than to satiate his wrath with violent murder. |
