"Sleepy Hollow" mixes horror, fantasy and romance as it delves into the supernatural mystery of a string of murders, thought by locals to be the work of the Headless Horseman. The film features a special cameo appearance by Christopher Lee (of the Hammer horror films) as the New York City official who sends the earnest Ichabod to Sleepy Hollow to conduct an investigation. Upon his arrival in the small village, Ichabod experiences an unusual introduction to the bewitching Katrina Van Tassel. She is under the influence of Baltus Van Tassel, the richest and most influential man of this tiny community and Lady Van Tassel, Katrina’s stepmother and the matriarch of the Van Tassel estate. Other characters include the dashing Brom Van Brunt, who challenges Ichabod for Katrina’s love and, in a pivotal role, the Hessian Soldier, a.k.a. the Headless Horseman. |
