One of my favorite Tim Burton movie, with excellent (Halloween) atmosphere. Always loved the small Dutch history of New England interwoven into this, and the Dutch names got evolved into American language.
I love the concept of the Tree being a gateway for the Horseman to come through when he’s called forth. He returns to claim heads until his own has been found.
Totally! And let me also thank you for commenting on this video today so that it popped up on my notifications and reminded me to rewatch :) Happy Halloween!
This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. I lived in Sleepy Hollow for a while and folks take the Legend pretty seriously. They take history pretty seriously too. This has very little to do with either, but it is a lot of fun.
Thanks so much for sharing that! I love visiting the New England area in general because there is so much great history and stories. And the awesome architecture, also.
I love this version that is inspired on Washington Irving's 1820 short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci are amazing in the movie. I love Tim Burton vision of this film. Awesome reaction to this classic movie.
I live for the dresses in this movie. These Burtunesque 18th Century getups are just divine. And you guys should definitely do It Follows sometime, that one still creeps me out just thinking about it.
"Yes to the dress" and THANK YOU for recommending It Follows! That is one I always wanted to see, but I haven't heard as much about it from people. So I'm glad it has your vote, Sarah!
3 Months late but I loved how the mystery was played out each time it made me think, on how and why certain people were involved. The ending was surprising but made sense.
"Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue." Fun Fact: Johnny Depp adopted Goldeneye, the horse that played Gunpowder, Ichabod Crane's horse in this film, when he heard it was going to be put down. Action Actor Fact: Johnny Depp did all of his own stunts for the final scene where he is dragged by the horse. He had bullet-proof clothing underneath his wardrobe. Historical Fact: Washington Irving claimed that Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel were real people. Ichabod Crane was based on Colonel Ichabod Bennet Crane, who was born in 1787 and fought in the War Of 1812. Washington Irving and Colonel Ichabod Crane had met in 1814 at Fort Pike located on Lake Ontario in Sackets Harbor, New York.
Loooved that quote, and the tidbit about the horse. Like Viggo buying that horse on LotR. The sign of great humans :) And that is cool about him doing the stunts! Surprised that they (and the insurance carrier) would allow it, but try telling Johnny Depp 'no', I guess lol. I had actually heard that about the characters being based on real people. I really like reading up on and learning the history of this time period. Thanks so much as always for the comment :)
It's been a minute since I've seen this movie. And holy crap, you got Dumbledore, Vernon Dursley, Palpatine, and the dad from Beetlejuice in one room!!!
That tree of the dead reminds me of that old cartoon where all the trees are alive? And there's an old crotchety creepy man tree that tries to steal the pretty girl tree.
I don't remember that I don't think. Maybe Fantasia from Disney? Reminds me of Wizard of Oz lol. Well a gruesome version anyway, where the Tin Man decides to go all choppity chop when the tree starts talking smack about taking his apples.
What I find entertaining is that the horseman cut Braum in half fun fact the headless horseman is played by Ray Park who was also Darth maul who if anybody remembers was also bisected at the waist
Your commentary is gold😂😂😂 I lost it at "the headless showman". Fantastic movie btw, I ritually rewatch it every October. This was Tim Burton in his prime 🎃
Cool Christopher Lee moment is when his character is at the bench and the sides extend like bat's wings (a nod to Mr. Lee's time playing Count Dracula in the early 1960's).
Yes!!! That didn't make the cut for the edit, but I know EXACTLY the part you're talking about and I loved it. I wish you could add video clips or images to youtube comments because I would do that lol
Christopher Lee the distinguished gentleman who plays the judge had such a long and storied career it's amazing to look up his filmography everybody seems to know him though from this the Willy Wonka movie Star wars Lord of the rings but they seem to forget that he started out in horror playing Frankenstein's monster and then going on to being Dracula in the hammer film series
This is one of the first horror movies I've ever watched!! And OMG! To me it was terrifying back in the day!!! I didn't know you would react to this movie! Thanks Katie! 😋
Haha this one got ya, huh? Yeah even when I was super anxious about watching horror, I wanted to watch this one. I love that part of the country and the history of the story, etc. Such a good movie :)
I will gladly chime in that I saw this at least twice in the theatres - because its creepy atmosphere was generally so nicely realized - but the sight of the film’s Headless Horseman in action, as portrayed by Ray Park, with accompanying head-removal visual effects, is *one of the most impressive visual effects fantasy characters ever to appear onscreen* . I thought it was done that well, it needs a special nod.
AbsolUTELy agree with you! And even the little details with the effects such as when we see the beheading of the midwife's husband, and you briefly see the steam coming off the neck. Gruesome and well-done.
Great reaction to one of my favorite Tim Burton movies. If you are looking for more things like this, there is a movie coming out called The Pale Blue Eye. The story has a detective, played by Christian Bale, investigating murders assisted by a young Edgar Allen Poe (played by Harry Melling).
So sad that I missed this episode! Love this movie, a classic that I rewatch along with Practical Magic every Halloween season. Fantastic costumes and good spooky fun!
Great reaction!🥰 I remember seeing the preview for this movie in the theater. I couldn’t wait for it to come out. Once it was released, I was finally able to see it. Absolutely loved it! The setting; the style; the stars ⭐️ You had a number of names and pointed out some actors. Christopher Lee was in Star Wars; he portrayed Count Dooku. But I didn’t hear you mention the more menacing force in that cast. That would be the actor who played Dr. Thomas Lancaster. That would be Ian McDiarmid. He was also in Star Wars who played Senator Palpatine (aka the Lord Sith aka The Emperor). Ian McDiarmid and Christopher Lee share screen time together in an early scene of Revenge of the Sith. Senator Palpatine convinces Anakin Skywalker to kill Count Dooku. Ironically, he is killed by having his head chopped off. How Sleepy Hallow! 🎃
Wonderful! I've been looking forward to this. A worthy Burtoning of the creepy classic, I've loved and shared it for years. Glad ya'll are bringing it this season. Thanks! Here we go! :)
When you cross what used to be the tappan zee bridge in Northern New York the exit for sleepy hollow is there as a truck driver I have gone over that bridge many times and have often wished I can go to sleepy hollow even for a day maybe sometime in the future I'll actually make it up there
Sleepy hollow does exist, so does the Headless Horseman's Marker of his Grave in their Cemetary, the Bridge exists too, kids go on class excursions to visit this place in NY.
6 times I have rewinded this and I STILL can’t comprehend the joke Marc made at the start, the what from you killed me I’m in the same boat😂😂 I enjoyed this movie it’s my first time seeing it, I absolutely loved the feeling of this movie, which leads me to a question, if you had to name a town for a Halloween movie what would it be and would the setting be now like the Halloween movies or something like this way back when with the gothic theme ?
If you're talking about the joke he makes at the very very beginning, in the "Coming Up" section, he's saying, "Nice 'n Easy 105", referring to at-home hair dye. If it's something else though, tell me the minute mark and I can probably figure it out lol. What an AMAZING QUESTION about the town for a Halloween movie... ok so off the top of my head I'm thinking the town would be called Shadow Falls or Shadows Hollow, something like that. But it would actually be a very bright, cheery looking place with a small-town vibe to it. Homes that look like the Truman Show or Stepford Wives, but there are dark secrets. And the street names are odes to the horror greats like Strode Lane or Voorhees Drive.
@@DavidvsFilm I absolutely LOVE that !!! Especially that it seems so perfect and normal but lurking in the SHADOWS of shadow falls is a secret nobody dares to expose !!! The time stamp is 3:30 to 3:36 Marc says the headless horseman and I THINK he then says you’ll be headless 😂😂 it’s the What that gets me every time 😂
Forgot how many famous actors are in this:Dumbledore, Palpatin, Principle from Ferris Bueller, Sauramon, Rico from Starship Troopers, and of course Chris Watkins since I think of him as the headless horseman...those razor teeth creep me out everytime!☺💚
Sleepy Hollow was released Nov 17, 1999. Christina Ricci was born Feb 12, 1980, she was 19 when she did this film. Johnny Depp was born Jun 09, 1963, he was 36 when he did this film.
Great review! This was such a fun season spending time watching reviews with you guys! I love, love, love thematic movies. This is one of the best of Tim Burton’s movies. The sets and style of filming really makes this movie! Now I’m looking forwards to your Christmas season! Fun fun fun!
Thank you :) Yeah, I had a blast watching these movies. It was nice to get that feeling I had from last year when I was first watching these. I'm pretty much a positive, forward-looking person by nature, but I do get a little blue post-spooky season.
Sleepy Hallow is the perfect Halloween movie. The atmosphere and time period of this is so perfect, FYI I'd love to be buried in Christina Ricci's black and white striped dress at the end it's my favorite 😍 🖤 I'd wear it alive too of course
Hahahaha girl you always crack me up with the stuff you write. Yeah, Marc thought that dress was great. Atmosphere-wise, I'm not sure where you are, but it's so great and overcast right now. Windy and brisk.. perfect for Halloween time. It can be really hit or miss here in Houston, so this is great compared to sunny and 95º.
@@DavidvsFilm haha thanks I try to keep my sense of humor to a minimum it throws people off when I do say something funny out of nowhere lol I live in Cleveland Ohio right on Lake Erie we are having a great October, it's been in the 60s and the the leaves changing are so beautiful here
Awesome reaction as always guys!!! Love yaz!!Yaz!!! Fun fact: There are three actors from Star Wars in this movie. Ian McDiarmid (Senator Palpatine/ The Emperor), Christopher Lee (Count Dooku) and Ray Park (Darth Maul). Ray Park is the Headless Horseman for all the headless action sequences. 😃😍😉
I suggest you watch the following films: Look Away, 2018 my little princess 2011 Girl in the Basement 2021 Brimstone 2016 Compliance, 2012 Miss Violence 2013 Hounddog 2007
I also read somewhere I’m not sure if this is true or not but they said that the person who wrote the original Sleepy Hollow or the legend of sleepy hollow story in 1819 Washington Irving was inspired by The Wild Hunt in Norse mythology where Odin in the other Norse gods were going out to hunt stuff or something
First video I’ve watched here in like a month or two. Not really a fan of scarier movies, but Scream 1-2 I had seen in theaters back in the day plus Sleepy Hollow. This movie has Darth Sideous, Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku), and Darth Maul all in it! Anyway, looking forward to getting back to regular movies with you all again.
And as you said, its not only star wars canoes like Darth Videos (Emperor), Darth Tyranus (Dock), and Darth Maul (the headless horseman), but also some Harry Potter alumni with Dumbledore 2.0 and Harry's Uncle!
Hey buddy!! Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to go all in with the horror/scary this year, but now we move on to other awesome stuff! I can't remember if you're into the action, but one that want to finish off is John Wick. I started with the first one then got sidetracked. I've been really eager to watch the next 2. And some Mel Brooks.
@@DavidvsFilm nice! The only issue with Mel brooks parodies is they heavily borrow from certain movies, so if you watch space balls then it makes total sense after watching Star Wars 4-6. And if you watch Robin Hood Men in Tights, you will miss half the jokes if you don’t see Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood Prince of Thieves that came right before it. Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood is based on Kevin Costner’s one the most, plus the Disney cartoon one, plus the original one back in the day. And I still want to see you take Mark through the Star Wars movies in timeline order, starting with the prequels 1-3, which you haven’t seen, maybe Obi wan show (6 episodes), Han Solo Movie, Rogue One movie, movies 4-6, etc. Then you could decide on Mandalorian show and movies 7-9. Just space in a trilogy here or there. And did you do the rocky series at all? Rocky 1-6 and Creed 1-2 are brilliant. Only Rocky 5 is a bit hit and miss but still decent and required for the series. Have fun!
This is one of my favorite movies (and peak Johnny Depp - in my opinion). Did either of you realize that the town magistrate who told Ichabod that the widow Winship was pregnant was also in the Harry Potter films? He plays Vernon Dursley, Harry's uncle! Also, can we give props to Young Masbath - he is a real one.
Loved watching this reaction! This is a great Tim Burton movie. Also 19:06 and 19:16(notice how Katrina looks dead in the background)😂😂😂 Aaaaand I'm not throwing shade but how could you refer to Katrina as a "fugly sl*t"!😆
@@DavidvsFilm I think ya'll will love them...hope you do a leas the first three! I love each one for different reasons, your commentary I'm sure will be fun to watch. :-)
Does Sleepy Hollow actually exist? Yes. Washington Irving, who wrote the short story, grew up just south of it. I've been there many times. It's awesome. Oh...and if you visit, on Broadway/Highway 9, just before the Old Dutch Church, there is a sign that says this was where the bridge was as depicted in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow... not true... if you walk north along that small river next to the church... you can see the remnants of the bridge Washington Irving knew as a kid when he went there... the main road was BEHIND the church back then, not in front of it.
Not sure if you would be interested but there was a Sleepy Hollow TV show which in my opinion was a fantastic show (until season 4). If you like this story I suggest you give the TV show a try :)
You have excellent taste in my opinion, @Fredneckteddy, because I love that show :) Though honestly I only watched the first season then got distracted. I've restarted a few times, but I need to carry it through. I really like their take on the story.
@@DavidvsFilm most definitely! The historical events that Ichabod claims to have been involved with is very far-fetched but is so interesting to watch. not to mention the person playing ichabod is very handsome LOL
Nice and spooky. My main criticism is there are too many beheadings -- there's a diminishing returns effect for me. Minor thing. Glad you brought up It Follows. I think Marc could handle that just fine and it's a good one for a reaction anyway.
Man I wish I loved this movie more. SO cool-looking, and has everything I love in theory...but just didn't work for me. A LOT more suspense and it'd probably be my favorite movie ever
Hey Michael, yeah that's fair fair fair. I can totally see your point. The atmosphere is honestly about 65% of it for me. If this were a tale set in Des Moines in the Summer of 1982, I can't say it'd have the same effect for me. lol
Hey you BARELY have to tempt me!! To be fair, I'm afraid it would be an uneventful reaction from ME since I've seen it (especially the first few episodes of season 1 several times) but Marc hasn't. And I think he would like the concept. I kinda fell off and stopped watching later- some of the characters they added bugged me, or when they branched out into other characters' story lines, etc- but overall I LOVE the theme, LOVE the concept, and LOVE LOVE the main two actors.
@@DavidvsFilm A duo reaction would be cool! A new experience for Marc and some friendly banter between the two of you during the lesser episodes would make for a lovely reaction in my opinion! I do have to agree that some added characters weren't really interesting and that towards the end they kinda fumbled the bag, but looking back on the hellscape the production went through in the later half I always try to look past some of the problems. Sorry for the essay lol Great reaction as always ❤️
Thank you, Marie!! Oh I totally want to see that one! It will happen- I don't when, but it will. That is one of the rare movies that Marc has seen but I haven't.
I'm not far from Sleepy Hallow. Everytime I see the sign for it on the highway I tell myself that I'm going to get around to going this year, I still haven't lol. You should do a month of Depp, just watching his movies. He's always fun to watch.
It's funny you say that because with Pirates, then Nightmare on Elm Street, and now Sleepy Hollow, I have kind of inadvertently done 3 months lol. But I get what you mean, back-to-back. I love him. And yes sir! You know we'll be looking you up if we make it that way. We'll need a tour guide!
The only thing that bothers me is the age difference between Johnny and Christina. I've always loved this movie. Great scares and acted really well. However, watching it back - she looks EVEN YOUNGER than I remember. Its a little creepy. lol. Great reaction as always. The fifth victim was that dress. I think I spit a little coffee out on that one! ha ha. Have a great Halloween both!
Is there some gang of patreon people who subscribe to all movie reactors and get them to do the same movies? Last week everybody did Cabin in the woods, this week everybody's doing Sleep Hollow. It's weird. And a bit creepy.
Haha I definitely get the unsettling vibe of thinking there’s an IllumiPatreonati out there dictating content. If there is, I can guarantee you I’m not big enough to be a member. :) For me, Cabin in the Woods won a poll I put out over a month ago for Halloween movie suggestions, and Sleepy Hollow was a direct suggestion from an individual. So technically they both came from Patreon, yes, but in my experience I think it’s just a bizarre coincidence.
If you ever do come visit Sleepy Hallow, also visit the Headless Horseman Haunted Attractions in Ulster Park. It's one of the top rated Haunted House/Hayrides in the US and has even been featured on Travel Channel shows. It draws celebrities to visit year after year. My uncle worked there for like 20 years and has met so many people.
Definitely yes on Dooku, but I didn't recognize Darth Maul's face.. 😁 For real though, I haven't seen Phantom Menace yet, but I'm aware of Darth Maul. I didn't know going into this that was the same actor however. But I did recognize the Emperor by his voice!
‘It’s my assistant cockblock’ 🤣 Brilliant reaction!
Haha thank you ;)
The actor that played Darth Maul, Ray Park, performed the Horseman's fighting scenes.
Sleepy Hollow! Such nostalgia. I loved watching this movie as a kid
Hey there!! Yeah, even though he's chopping off heads, it's like, "What a great movie." lol
One of my favorite Tim Burton movie, with excellent (Halloween) atmosphere. Always loved the small Dutch history of New England interwoven into this, and the Dutch names got evolved into American language.
Yesss to all of this!!! 100% Peter.

Still one of my favourite films , used to watch it when was a kid . Never gets old , it's so under rated
it's weird to see Dumbledore and Mr. Dursley sharing a Halloween drink
Yes!!! Totally, right?
10:16 Mark: "show me" and for a moment he was like " I didn´t mean show me THAT" xD
Scared something was about to get whipped out lol

Hahahaha girl you always crack me up with the stuff you write. Yeah, Marc thought that dress was great. Atmosphere-wise, I'm not sure where you are, but it's so great and overcast right now. Windy and brisk.. perfect for Halloween time. It can be really hit or miss here in Houston, so this is great compared to sunny and 95º.
@@DavidvsFilm haha thanks I try to keep my sense of humor to a minimum it throws people off when I do say something funny out of nowhere lol
I live in Cleveland Ohio right on Lake Erie we are having a great October, it's been in the 60s and the the leaves changing are so beautiful here
Awesome reaction as always guys!!! Love yaz!!Yaz!!!
Fun fact: There are three actors from Star Wars in this movie. Ian McDiarmid (Senator Palpatine/ The Emperor), Christopher Lee (Count Dooku) and Ray Park (Darth Maul). Ray Park is the Headless Horseman for all the headless action sequences. 😃😍😉
Thanks, Elizabeth!
I suggest you watch the following films:
Look Away, 2018
my little princess 2011
Girl in the Basement 2021
Brimstone 2016
Compliance, 2012
Miss Violence 2013
Hounddog 2007
Thank you!!
I also read somewhere I’m not sure if this is true or not but they said that the person who wrote the original Sleepy Hollow or the legend of sleepy hollow story in 1819 Washington Irving was inspired by The Wild Hunt in Norse mythology where Odin in the other Norse gods were going out to hunt stuff or something
Oh REALLY? This is the first I'm hearing of it, but I like the sound of that.
@@DavidvsFilm yeah right on
First video I’ve watched here in like a month or two. Not really a fan of scarier movies, but Scream 1-2 I had seen in theaters back in the day plus Sleepy Hollow. This movie has Darth Sideous, Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku), and Darth Maul all in it! Anyway, looking forward to getting back to regular movies with you all again.
And as you said, its not only star wars canoes like Darth Videos (Emperor), Darth Tyranus (Dock), and Darth Maul (the headless horseman), but also some Harry Potter alumni with Dumbledore 2.0 and Harry's Uncle!
Hey buddy!! Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to go all in with the horror/scary this year, but now we move on to other awesome stuff! I can't remember if you're into the action, but one that want to finish off is John Wick. I started with the first one then got sidetracked. I've been really eager to watch the next 2. And some Mel Brooks.
@@DavidvsFilm nice! The only issue with Mel brooks parodies is they heavily borrow from certain movies, so if you watch space balls then it makes total sense after watching Star Wars 4-6. And if you watch Robin Hood Men in Tights, you will miss half the jokes if you don’t see Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood Prince of Thieves that came right before it. Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood is based on Kevin Costner’s one the most, plus the Disney cartoon one, plus the original one back in the day.
And I still want to see you take Mark through the Star Wars movies in timeline order, starting with the prequels 1-3, which you haven’t seen, maybe Obi wan show (6 episodes), Han Solo Movie, Rogue One movie, movies 4-6, etc. Then you could decide on Mandalorian show and movies 7-9. Just space in a trilogy here or there. And did you do the rocky series at all? Rocky 1-6 and Creed 1-2 are brilliant. Only Rocky 5 is a bit hit and miss but still decent and required for the series. Have fun!
The horse in this film was old and was going to be put down after this production, but Johnny Depp took him and put him on his estate in France :)
I will never get tired of stories like these :) Thank you!
Johnny was 35 and Christina was 18 during this.
Hey I was close! I can't tell if little kids are 2 or 14, but I can usually guess 18 and up pretty closely.
This is one of my favorite movies (and peak Johnny Depp - in my opinion). Did either of you realize that the town magistrate who told Ichabod that the widow Winship was pregnant was also in the Harry Potter films? He plays Vernon Dursley, Harry's uncle! Also, can we give props to Young Masbath - he is a real one.
Funny you should mention Jessica Fletcher... Angela Landsbury was an inspiration for Depp in this movie.
Loved watching this reaction! This is a great Tim Burton movie. Also 19:06 and 19:16(notice how Katrina looks dead in the background)😂😂😂
Aaaaand I'm not throwing shade but how could you refer to Katrina as a "fugly sl*t"!😆
Thank you!! Totally agree. I love love this movie :) And thanks for watching our reaction to it even after Halloween! 🎃
@@DavidvsFilm you're so welcome
Looking forward to your Indiana reactions!As always much love and thank you for your entertaining videos!☺💚
We're watching it tonight!! I'm so excited. This one falls into that category of a movie I know all about, but never actually sat down to watch.
@@DavidvsFilm I think ya'll will love them...hope you do a leas the first three! I love each one for different reasons, your commentary I'm sure will be fun to watch. :-)
1999 was a good year!!!
Worrrrrrrd!!! You are so right. We partied like it really was lol
Does Sleepy Hollow actually exist?
Yes. Washington Irving, who wrote the short story, grew up just south of it. I've been there many times. It's awesome.
Oh...and if you visit, on Broadway/Highway 9, just before the Old Dutch Church, there is a sign that says this was where the bridge was as depicted in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow... not true... if you walk north along that small river next to the church... you can see the remnants of the bridge Washington Irving knew as a kid when he went there... the main road was BEHIND the church back then, not in front of it.
Thank you so much Boris!!! Really appreciate this :)
“Gonna take this h**, just for spite.
You broke that twig 20 years ago, b***”
Hahshshsha xd
Hahaha you know it's true..
Wstched this one all the time growing up during Halloween season. Awesome choice.
Happy Halloween! 🎃🦇💀🐈⬛👻🕷🕸🧡🖤
Thank you Kat!!! Happy belated Halloween back!! (though in my ideal world, it's always Fall/Halloween season)
@@DavidvsFilm Thank you! And I 100% agree lol. 🎃🖤
This is my favorite "Halloween" film
Perfect for this time of year.
Not sure if you would be interested but there was a Sleepy Hollow TV show which in my opinion was a fantastic show (until season 4). If you like this story I suggest you give the TV show a try :)
You have excellent taste in my opinion, @Fredneckteddy, because I love that show :) Though honestly I only watched the first season then got distracted. I've restarted a few times, but I need to carry it through. I really like their take on the story.
@@DavidvsFilm most definitely! The historical events that Ichabod claims to have been involved with is very far-fetched but is so interesting to watch. not to mention the person playing ichabod is very handsome LOL
Nice and spooky. My main criticism is there are too many beheadings -- there's a diminishing returns effect for me. Minor thing. Glad you brought up It Follows. I think Marc could handle that just fine and it's a good one for a reaction anyway.
Yeah I really want to watch that one!! And thanks for telling me Marc would be ok for it. I'll tell him you said it was easy peasy lol
Man I wish I loved this movie more. SO cool-looking, and has everything I love in theory...but just didn't work for me. A LOT more suspense and it'd probably be my favorite movie ever
The costumes are fcuking FIRE though
Hey Michael, yeah that's fair fair fair. I can totally see your point. The atmosphere is honestly about 65% of it for me. If this were a tale set in Des Moines in the Summer of 1982, I can't say it'd have the same effect for me. lol
Would love for you to react to the 2013 Sleepy Hollow series one day, it's such a great show and a fun watch!
Hey you BARELY have to tempt me!! To be fair, I'm afraid it would be an uneventful reaction from ME since I've seen it (especially the first few episodes of season 1 several times) but Marc hasn't. And I think he would like the concept. I kinda fell off and stopped watching later- some of the characters they added bugged me, or when they branched out into other characters' story lines, etc- but overall I LOVE the theme, LOVE the concept, and LOVE LOVE the main two actors.
@@DavidvsFilm A duo reaction would be cool! A new experience for Marc and some friendly banter between the two of you during the lesser episodes would make for a lovely reaction in my opinion! I do have to agree that some added characters weren't really interesting and that towards the end they kinda fumbled the bag, but looking back on the hellscape the production went through in the later half I always try to look past some of the problems.
Sorry for the essay lol
Great reaction as always ❤️
Nice reaction as always ^^
It would be fun if you react to "child's play" from 1988 ;)
Thank you, Marie!! Oh I totally want to see that one! It will happen- I don't when, but it will. That is one of the rare movies that Marc has seen but I haven't.
Is it bad I watched this many, many times in 1999 when was 10?
Nah!
Not in the least!!
That's 17 years difference in age.
I'm not far from Sleepy Hallow. Everytime I see the sign for it on the highway I tell myself that I'm going to get around to going this year, I still haven't lol. You should do a month of Depp, just watching his movies. He's always fun to watch.
It's funny you say that because with Pirates, then Nightmare on Elm Street, and now Sleepy Hollow, I have kind of inadvertently done 3 months lol. But I get what you mean, back-to-back. I love him.
And yes sir! You know we'll be looking you up if we make it that way. We'll need a tour guide!
@@DavidvsFilm if you do it you should alternate, a good one then a not so good one.
The only thing that bothers me is the age difference between Johnny and Christina. I've always loved this movie. Great scares and acted really well. However, watching it back - she looks EVEN YOUNGER than I remember. Its a little creepy. lol. Great reaction as always. The fifth victim was that dress. I think I spit a little coffee out on that one! ha ha. Have a great Halloween both!
Yes!!! I agree! Way young!! Maybe we're just getting old? Nah, that can't be it.
Is there some gang of patreon people who subscribe to all movie reactors and get them to do the same movies? Last week everybody did Cabin in the woods, this week everybody's doing Sleep Hollow. It's weird. And a bit creepy.
Haha I definitely get the unsettling vibe of thinking there’s an IllumiPatreonati out there dictating content. If there is, I can guarantee you I’m not big enough to be a member. :) For me, Cabin in the Woods won a poll I put out over a month ago for Halloween movie suggestions, and Sleepy Hollow was a direct suggestion from an individual. So technically they both came from Patreon, yes, but in my experience I think it’s just a bizarre coincidence.
If you ever do come visit Sleepy Hallow, also visit the Headless Horseman Haunted Attractions in Ulster Park. It's one of the top rated Haunted House/Hayrides in the US and has even been featured on Travel Channel shows. It draws celebrities to visit year after year. My uncle worked there for like 20 years and has met so many people.
Uhhh HECK YEAH! You don't even have to tell me twice! That sounds right up my alley.
DID YOU GUYS NOTICE THAT THIS MOVIE HAS THE EMPEROR COUNT DOOKU AND DARTH MAUL ALL FROM STAR WARS IN IT
Definitely yes on Dooku, but I didn't recognize Darth Maul's face.. 😁 For real though, I haven't seen Phantom Menace yet, but I'm aware of Darth Maul. I didn't know going into this that was the same actor however. But I did recognize the Emperor by his voice!
