Burton actually wanted this scene cause he was sick of how children were always spared in older horror films. Needless to say, this is one of the most disturbing and scary scenes in the film. There is no humor. Just merciless killing of a loving family who knew a little too much.
Massive tim burton W. I always hated that cliche too, especially when those earlier films used really nonsensical explanations for how a child was able to survive something that a bunch of adults couldn't. It was just so obvious the writers (even for HORROR movies) were shy to go all the way through with their own premise for fear of offending older audience's sensibilities.
The part with the mothers head rolling where her eyes were then revealed was probably one of the most disturbing things of the movie growing up and watching it
Curtis Matthews LOL LOL LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 true that that happen to everybody when your driving somewhere and think oh shit I forgot my phone or when your about to leave home to go to work or movies or anywhere 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought I had made this scene up in my head, after years of it haunting me since I first watched it as a child. Evidently, it is indeed a real scene that plays out beat for beat, exactly as I remember. Wonderful.
It's awesome when that happens. Usually, when I've revisited a movie I remembered clearly since childhood, it's played out very differently to my memory of it.
@@AtlasBlizzardIt really is crazy. I distinctly remember watching this scene when I was 3 and it showing a scene of the horseman decapitating the man as well as sparing the wife. Weird how things in your head change overtime
Ray Park, (Darth Maul, Toad, Snake Eyes, etc) was the fight double for the Headless Horseman. This man is awesome and knows how to make a character amazing even with just body language.
That's actually what happened though lol The wench controlling the henchman told him to go back. The horseman wouldn't harm a child in life due to the hessian code of chivalry It is a really, really, (obligatory third) really, good movie if you're haven't seen it already.
I find it really scary how Mrs. Killian has her eyes pointed straight at the boy when her head stopped rolling across the floor, and the music that follows. It's like the mother's frightened eyes were saying: "Now I cannot protect you any longer", still fearing for his life, though she's dead. For some reason, this always frightened me, and still does. Having dead eyes staring back as if they are still alive, is very creepy.
Technically, you don’t die as soon as your head is cut off. It takes a few minutes for the brain to suffocate from lack of oxygen. That to me is the most terrifying part.
@@KevyNova Yes, that's what's most creepy about. She was still watching her kid, knowing maybe he will soon be killed in that same horrible way just like her.
parents made me watch it thinking it would be a great bonding experience. I was 6 lol. I had nightmares for 3 years man. Still remember this scene to this day! Although it doesn't scare me I realize why I would have been so freaked out.
00:47 "The wound was cauterized in the very instant, as though the blade itself were red-hot. And yet, no blistering, no scorched flesh" nice little detail for The Devil's Fire
While more appearances of the Horseman would have been cool, it's better to utilize him as little as possible. That way, it makes his presence more threatening when it needs to be, similar to how Ridley Scott utilizes the appearance of the Alien carefully in the original film to make it more frightening to the audience.
Damn, who played the Horseman in these scenes? I know Walken did all the head shots, but the actor in the costume has incredible physicality. Just the way he moves, the twirl of his weapons. That long stride when he sinks his axe into the floor. Very spooky and well done.
Disney used to be heavier than they are now, FYI... The 1920s - 1940s had some scary Disney cartoons. I saw "Pluto's Judgment" as a kid, played on TV, in the 90s.
I think I can imagine what he's thinking: "Finally, this wasn't I hard job. I can finally return to my couch and see some of my favorite horror movies like "The exorcist" and "The Conjuring". After all, I killed the husband, I killed the mother and the kid" (Pause) The Horseman: Wait a minute. The kid. Where is he? (Looks on the table boards) The Horseman: GET OVER HERE, YOU LITTLE GINGER.
This scene was so upsetting :((( they were a nice innocent family and the father really tried to defend his family till his last breath. They couldn’t even let the little boy survive?! That’s harsh.
@@domgriffith6483I don't think the Witch told the Horseman to kill the child. If she told him to kill the kid I don't think he would of started to walk away like he did.
This scene scared the crap out of me when I watched this in the movie theater as a teen. Poor little Thomas and his parents. It still bothers me that it's never explained why the Killian family had to be killed. Especially Thomas. It was something about a secret or something, that Mrs. Killian said in front of her husband, and that gave the headless horseman another "job"... but what? What was that secret? And why *Thomas?*
+VampireZombieX Mrs. Killian was a midwife, and the secret was the widow being pregnant with the kid of Van Tassel (I think was his name?). Apparently she mentioned it in front of her husband, and the lady controlling the horseman wanted to basically erase any evidence that such a child existed. That explains the two adult Killians at least...but not Thomas! I can only guess she wanted to kill him too, in case he also knew...or she's just evil and felt like having him killed too.
botOxymoron Thank you so much for explaining. :o) It's easier to understand what Lady van Tassel was talking about now. I hate Lady van Tassel for what she did. She was indeed pure evil. Too bad Thomas also died, they all was a nice family. Thankfully it's only a movie, though. But it's an amazing movie, with amazing actors.
Well some people are like that. Just because Mrs Killian did something dislikable van tassel decided to kill the whole bloodline. And yes that means Thomas.
Headless horsemen (yes there more than just sleepy hallow) were perhaps the most brutal creatures and were feared for it. You were good as dead if you got even near one no matter who you are . Some versions of these undead riders were resurrected by pure hatred. The boy without question was dead as soon as he walked in.
I’m forever going to love this movie. It was my very first Horror movie. I was only 9 when I saw it in the theater. But to this day anytime I watch it and this scene takes place. I’m always saying “WHY, WHY THE KID?!!!”. Even when Lady Van Tassel is explaining her plan to Katrina. She never mentioned why young Thomas had to die.
@@troyandrew6154 it makes sense, I really hate seeing a kid in horror films be responsible for many deaths or a memorable characters death by not shutting up or stopping crying. Lol Like the scene in Saw always comes to mind specifically, when Dr Gordon’s wife has the gun pointed at Zep, and the kid decides it’s a good time to cry and distract her Mom trying to save them and cry out “Mommy” causing her to be distracted and lost the upper hand. As the series went on, and Adam was confirmed to be dead, I always think back to that one scene, when the kid ruined Adam and Gordon being saved.
I heard this was one of the first horror movies that actually killed a kid. I mean maybe not the first to kill a kid but it was like one of the first times ever in a horror movie where the kid didn't get away in a life or death situation and it supposedly really surprised audiences at the time this movie first came out.
You know Rey park who played Darth maul in star wars phantom menace played the horseman while headlaess cause Rey Park knows how to fight with swords and sticks. That's why he was so good as maul and the headless horseman.
I think there are two possibilities here. 1) The Horseman knew the kid was there and this was a calculated display of sadism and allowing the kid some hope just to take it away or 2) There was some sort of, "Oh, I almost forgot the kid" moment with the horseman.
If anyone's wondering why the Horseman depicted here is so slick and fluid compared to Christopher Walken's version, it's because that's Ray Park in the costume.
It's actually beneficial to spin a sword or axe while in combat. Keep your enemies confused about your next move but at the cost of vital areas being exposed. Also, it keeps your muscles loose which is great for maneuvering during offense attacks and blocking oncoming attacks as well. Plus, it's a great way to let your enemy know that you are skilled with what you're using to fight them with. It can terrify your enemy knowing that you have the combat skill to take them down and their chances of survival just dropped.
Poor little boy! :( Though.. Let's remember this is the dead, controlled Horseman. Not the first, alive one who didn't seem to have the desire to kill children. As silly as it seems, even lovers of carnage have an odd set of morals. So I doubt if he were still alive he would've killed this family- unless he was absolutely bloodthirsty.
A very underrated trick to really make the Horseman's presence unsettling is the use of sound when he moves through the rooms (the heaviness of his boots against the floorboards and the jingle of his spurs with each step).
Cool ☺ My sister went as the headless horseman on Halloween And my high school marching band did a special Sleepy hollow theme half time show one year complete with a kid dressing up as the headless horseman
You got to give Tim Burton credits for being brave enough to feature a child falling victim to the Headless Horseman. I have mad respect for any horror films that aren't afraid to push the boundaries.
@@ethanrogers3528 the horseman was basically given an auto tracker. You could be across the world from him and he would still know exactly where you are. He won't stop till he gets your head.
When I watched this I had the light turned on for like a month until I got that image out of my head. Seeing the parents beheaded was so terrifying, but if they show the little boy being beheading then I would cry and scream
The stepmother calling on the horseman truly deserves no sympathy or mercy since she sold her soul, committing evil deeds on the innocent, especially if it involves innocent children. Thank goodness the horseman took her evil, wicked soul down to Hell where she belongs.
Agreed. I loved the fact that the filmmakers threw out that old "Kids are safe in movies" rule/cliche. This was probably the first movie I had seen where a kid was killed, even though you don't actually see him dying. I personally am not upset my kid death in movies. I find it more shocking that others are. People are fine with adults and teens being slaughtered, but god-forbid a child or even an animal gets it. I guess it's the fact that they're generally helpless.
They can give the child an underground bunker to hide but no escape route to get further away in time to warn the villagers ???? That's just f*cked up🤦♂️
How did he even know the kid was there? He didn't react when the kid actually gave a tiny gasp on his mother's head rolled near him, yet thunder somehow reveals the little guy?

The Headless Horseman sure loves to spin his axes/sword
It's actually beneficial to spin a sword or axe while in combat. Keep your enemies confused about your next move but at the cost of vital areas being exposed. Also, it keeps your muscles loose which is great for maneuvering during offense attacks and blocking oncoming attacks as well. Plus, it's a great way to let your enemy know that you are skilled with what you're using to fight them with. It can terrify your enemy knowing that you have the combat skill to take them down and their chances of survival just dropped.

when I was little. I saw the eyes staring down and I have had nightmares for years. still freaks me out from time to time
Exactly! Also notice that in most battle scenes in movies, the horses come out without a scratch lol :)
1:50
Me being late leaving for work and realizing I forgot my phone, but not entirely sure where I left it.
how he knows where the kid was hiding
Magic.
ok
The spell he's under automatically leads him to his killings kind of like a magnet being stuck to a fridge
Critical thinking :))
Garurugirl1 how did he see with no eyes
He knocked with his foot.
They can give the child an underground bunker to hide but no escape route to get further away in time to warn the villagers ???? That's just f*cked up🤦♂️
Man this movie brings a lot of memories
This is one of Tim burtons best scenes in any movie
He likes the little, he likes the big
Parted in the middle or a wig,
Black or white or even red,
The headless horseman needs a head.
This film is straight-up brutal.
1:54 was so funny 😂😂😂😂
Aw, poor little kid😢
I dig the horseman's fighting moves.
Ray maul from Star wars!😆
How did he even know the kid was there? He didn't react when the kid actually gave a tiny gasp on his mother's head rolled near him, yet thunder somehow reveals the little guy?
Tim Burton and Danny Elfman are perfect for films together.
I saw this when i was little kid and i remember it bc that doesnt make me sleep😢
