Sleepy Hollow is one of those quiet masterpieces! Tim Burton at his best, Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci doing stellar work in the main roles and all of the support cast just killing it! Not one sub-par performance anywhere!
*Fun Fact, Mary: This film has THREE Sith Lords from Star Wars - Ian McDiarmid (Darth Sidious), Christopher Lee (Darth Tyranus), and Ray Park (Darth Maul)!*
Johnny Depp makes a great cowardly protagonist. Hiding behind his sidekick is one of the funniest moments. And Burton squirting him with goo at every opportunity is too good 🤣🤣🤣 And blonde Christina Ricci? Be still my heart 😍
This movie was nominated for the Best Costume Design and Best Cinematography Oscars, as well as winning Best Art Direction and deservedly so. The set designs are so gorgeously American Gothic. And that tree is iconic. ❤️
When Burton and Depp collaborate, sparks fly in a wondrous combination. Sweeney Todd was another fabulous feature between the two. Johnny also received his third and most recent Oscar nomination for that role.
The work by Washington Irving is a short story and in it Ichabod is a schoolteacher so Burton hugely expanded on the story, but he did a great job giving it his particular goth blend.
@@scottalynch The last (and best) of the Package Age of Disney Animated Canon films, "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad", where the first half was Wind in the Willows and the second half was The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
I watch this film every Halloween season. It’s become my tradition. This year will be the 20th since I started it. Glad you enjoyed it. It’s one of my favorites. 🎃
I saw this when it originally came out in theaters, and it was instantly one of my absolute favorite films. The storytelling, the acting, the set design, how it was filmed and, most especially, the film's score. I loved the music for this film. Just the whole atmosphere the music brought to the film. I loved the backstory of Ichabod's childhood and how it shaped who he became. Christina Ricci was amazing as Katrina. And I love the mystery of trying to find who is controlling the horseman and why he seems to be targeting specific people. I never tire of watching this film. There were two stunt doubles for the horseman, one for the horse-riding scenes and one for the fight scenes. Ray Park, who played Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, was the double for the fight scenes.
Things to do in Denver when you are dead is a somewhat chaotic film. Walken's performance is OK Have you seen Death of Stalin , Russell Beale's performance is stupendous
One of my favorite Tim Burton films, and my go to Halloween movie. So darkly gorgeous, with a great mystery and it knows when not to take itself too seriously.
YES!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Originally it was going to be a slasher film involving teenagers getting stranded in Sleepy Hollow and encounter a guy dressed up as The Headless Horseman but later learns that it's the REAL Headless Horseman. Before Johnny Depp was cast, Liam Neeson, Daniel Day Lewis, and Leonardo DiCaprio were considered for Ichabod Crane. Winona Ryder was going to play Katrina but turned it down. Marlon Brando was going to play the Headless Horseman before Christopher Walken was picked.
That slasher film version was actually made, on a shoestring budget by Anthony C. Ferrante years before his breakout film Sharknado. Headless Horseman (2007), check it out.
FINALLY more people on youtube react to this. There's like a total of two people who've watched this. This is SUCH a good movie. The atmosphere is top notch. I watch it every early October to really kick off Halloween/Fall.
The original Washington Irving short story is COMPLETELY different from Tim Burton's adaptation. It's been one of my favorite stories since I was a child. If you haven't read it, I can't recommend it enough, especially for this time of year.
This movie has had such an impact on me for the longest time. One of my OC's are hugely inspired by the headless horseman. I love every bit of screen time he gets. His conviction and presence, the music, the high-key lighting and color palettes that brought out rich colors on screen, making the movie age so well. Everything is perfect.
The first victim is played by Martin Landau in what is effectively a cameo. He had won an Oscar for co-starring, along with Depp, in Tim Burton's "Ed Wood". The magistrate is played by Christopher Lee, who has one of the longest lists of credits in film history. Though set in upstate New York, they found a more appropriately grim and gothic filming location in England. Also this production borrows elements from the 1949 animated Disney film "The Adventures Of Ichabod And Mr. Toad", ( not to mention the flaming windmill from "Frankenstein" ) and spotting those references is a bonus for movie fans. For his part, Christopher Walken, not an expert rider, was seen in his closeups atop a mechanical horse. And, across the board, you can't fault the casting. A assembly of very good actors who love having something dense and interesting to work with.
Lady Van Tassel's fate is that when the Horseman got his head back and returned to Hell, he took her with him. So her soul went to Hell with him and her body was left behind inside the tree where he's buried. It essentially IS death in every sense of the word.
Johnny Depp, Doumbledore, The Emperor, Uncle Dursley, Etc all in a single room discussing the murders. Every time I see this that scene is almost to much to handle. Such legendary talent all in a single scene.
Tim Burton's my all-time favorite director, and this is one of my favorites of his movies. I love how this movie gave Ichabod and Katrina a happy ending. You know, the Disney version of _Sleepy Hollow_ traumatized me as a kid. Anytime I see a headless person riding a horse, I feel terrified.
At about 30 seconds into your video, your cat almost pushes a glass vase down behind you. I was totally hooked from that moment on! And yeah, Christina Ricci! Have you watched Black Snake Moan? She is brilliant in that one too!
Please see FINDING NEVERLAND when you get the chance. Brilliant combination of biopic and fantasy. Tells the story of what inspired JM Barrie to write PETER PAN, with Johnny Depp playing Barrie. Kate Winslet also appears in it.
Two underrated movies with Johnny Depp that I recommend for reaction: "Astronaut's Wife" - sci-fi thriller, Depp is amazing in it. "The Tourist" - he stars with Angelina Jolie and it's a romantic adventure in Venice. Funny and exiting. Jolie is so beautiful in this movie!
Oh I absolutely love both of those movies. I pretty much love all Johnny Depp films. The Tourist was excellent and definitely underrated. The Astronaut's Wife was so good also. Totally different characters show his versatility. It got terrible reviews but Once Upon A Time In Mexico worth a watch for Depp's character alone. He is awesome in that.
Burton's last great film is a valentine to Hammer Horror (hell it even boasts Christopher Lee & Michael Gough in it) with a helluva production design and a supremely scary Christopher Walken perfectly cast as the Hessian Headless Horseman. Perfect viewing for Halloween; nice job Mary.
This is one of Tim Burton's most underrated films, and my favorite of his works. Burton was heavily inspired by the horror films of Hammer Studios when making Sleepy Hollow.
@@w1975b Michael Gough (Alfred from the first 4 Batman movies) was Hammer's Dracula first and is also in this film. So this movie has 2 Hammer Draculas, 3 Sith Lords and a bunch of other stuff going on.
This film has such a rewatch factor, I think I watched it to death when it came out, I still love it. Nothing to do with the actual novel but so different and deliberately so that it's fine. I'm glad Lola appeared to watch Sir Christopher Lee's scene, not sure if you noticed the plethora of big names, but Lola sure did :D Lee (Saruman, Dooku) Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) Miranda Richardson (From Blackadder, us Brits worth our salt love her) Michael Gough (Batman 89 to Batman and Robin, as well as the first hammer Dracula with Christopher Lee :D ) Ray Parks was the Horseman for most of it, Darth Maul/Toad ((X Men)
That's Ray Park, without an S, and Miranda Richardson is actually best known as Rita Skeeter from the Harry Potter movies as Blackadder didn't get that big an international release (I was actually not aware until today that the erotic 3D/CG artist had named himself after a series).
Halloween has a long history, actually. Even romans had Feralia, which was a day when souls of the dead were believed to walk the earth, and people used to bring offerings to the graves and tombs. Also, the fireworks on new year's eve were originally meant to scare away bad spirits by the loud bangs. The idea of spirits walking the earth on a certain day, and the need to scare them away, or please them by some offerings, probably exists as long as human civilization does.
I loved this movie when I saw it in theatres on release. One word of a little surprise: It's not really a horror movie, it is a cunning, old fashioned "Whodunit"! oh, and the Headless Horseman is not the real Villain... He is actually the Murder Weapon!
She definitely has a penchant for playing characters who initially seem innocent, but who ultimately have rather devious ulterior motives (see her guest spots in the third and fourth seasons of _BlackAdder,_ as well as "Dance with a Stranger" in addition to this movie).
This film is my top 2 Gothic style horror who-dun-it films. The other is Brotherhood of the Wolf / Le Pacte des loups 2001 French film with very much similar atmosphere
Van Garrett is a Dutch name as much of this region of New York was settled by the Dutch in the 1600's. Sleepy Hollow is located north of Manhattan near Tarrytown along the Hudson River. You can get there from Grand Central Station and takes about 30 minutes from Manhattan. New York was formerly called New Amsterdam (also New Nederland) until the British claimed it and renamed it in honor of the Duke of York.
I love this movie and am partial to it because I grew up in the Hudson Valley in New York which still looks very beautifully haunted with it's woods, fog, ancient cemeteries and typical woodland creatures to this day. We have a Sleepy Hollow taxi service up here in Tarrytown and the decal is of the headless horseman(always makes me laugh). Thanks for your cool reaction!
I love this reaction, it's sooo fun to watch! "That's probably why he's so attracted to her, because she reminds him a lot of his mum" you and I both realized that 😁
Having not seen this film in maybe 20 years, I forgot how gory it was -- much more so than "Sweeney Todd." And, yes, the fact that you have Emperor Palpatine, Professor Dumbledore, Vernon Dursley, Principal Rooney, and Alfred Pennyworth all in one scene makes this film all the more epic (not to mention Saruman/Count Dooku in another).
Hi Mary! I love so much the head spin you tried to make. That's the reaction everyone loves to see. It seems like you enjoyed this as much as we all did. If you are interested to see more Depp, watch, "Finding Neverland". Thanks
Delightful commentary, as always!! You may also want to take a look at the charming American TV series "Sleepy Hollow," which ran from 2013 to 2017 and featured the handsome English actor Tom Mison as Icahbod Crane, transported from the past to present day (making for some amusing fish out of water stuff) and enlisted by American policewoman (the funny and feisty Nicole Beharie) to fight supernatural crimes of a very clever and colorful sort while trying to get back. An entertaining and endearing series. Tailed off in the final season when Beharie left.
If you want some underrated Johnny Depp.. "Don Juan de Marco".. I don't want to spoil anything about it.. But it's great . "The Ninth Gate" a horror thriller.. would have been good for Halloween.. also "Nick of Time" one of his earliest bigger films... Pre dates the "real time" TV craze of "24".. it's a taut action thriller..
I live on the Hudson River, about an hour's drive north of Sleepy Hollow. The folk there have quite a Halloween celebration every year and the cemetery has lots of famous people like Washington Irving himself.
If you like musicals, Sweeney Todd (2007) is another great Tim Burton & Johnny Depp production with this dark style and spilling blood. A good show about witches is Salem (2014-2017), no Tim Burton or Johnny Depp this time, but the same dark horror style (and it's a bit Game of Thronesy, if you know what I mean.)
Christopher Lee has a history with Hammer Horror. He played Dracula in the Hammer Horror Dracula movies. He is one of the scariest versions of the character.
Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed... North America has so relatively few folk tales compared to other places, but the headless horseman is still one of my favorite!
If memory serves, in an interview Depp said that he based his performance on a pre-pubescent Angela Lansbury (unknown if he was kidding or not about this)
Wherever your recommendations come from they should also have mentioned another Tim Burton and Johnny Depp movie, I highly recommend Ed Wood from 1994.
The judge in the beginning is the late and legendary Christopher Lee from Dracula to Star Wars, Ian McDiarmid from Star Wars and Ray Park from Star Wars. Great reaction!

If you haven't seen the movie yet check out THE TOMORROW WAR it has chris Pratt in the movie very well done movie 👍
Could you please watch beetlejuice I promise it's your type of movie it's tim Burton
Blow is a really really good Johnny Depp Movie! I love him in Once upon a time in Mexico as well :)
Try Sweeney Todd
Sleepy Hollow is one of those quiet masterpieces! Tim Burton at his best, Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci doing stellar work in the main roles and all of the support cast just killing it! Not one sub-par performance anywhere!
Agreed! It's definitely my favourite Tim Burton movie and it's underrated.
Don't forget Chivo Lubezki as cinematographer.
He needs to make an HP Lovecraft film
Christopher Walken with no dialog... except, ahhh!! And shhh.
*Fun Fact, Mary: This film has THREE Sith Lords from Star Wars - Ian McDiarmid (Darth Sidious), Christopher Lee (Darth Tyranus), and Ray Park (Darth Maul)!*
Damn, you’re right. I never really noticed that before. 😂
I didn't notice that either. Hellz yea.
Man, now I need a Jhonny Depp as a descendant from House Dooku and he as a admired of one of his forefathers as The Count Dooky
I’ve never noticed it before 😮
Also uncle Vernon, Dumbledore and johnny Rico
Johnny Depp's choice (as he said) of playing Crane as a teenage girl was positively brilliant.
Johnny Depp makes a great cowardly protagonist. Hiding behind his sidekick is one of the funniest moments. And Burton squirting him with goo at every opportunity is too good 🤣🤣🤣
And blonde Christina Ricci? Be still my heart 😍
Burton also squirts him with goo in Dark Shadows.
This movie was nominated for the Best Costume Design and Best Cinematography Oscars, as well as winning Best Art Direction and deservedly so. The set designs are so gorgeously American Gothic. And that tree is iconic. ❤️
This is my go to Halloween movie. It just has the perfect feel for this time of year.
agreed. i watch it every year on Halloween
When Burton and Depp collaborate, sparks fly in a wondrous combination. Sweeney Todd was another fabulous feature between the two. Johnny also received his third and most recent Oscar nomination for that role.
The work by Washington Irving is a short story and in it Ichabod is a schoolteacher so Burton hugely expanded on the story, but he did a great job giving it his particular goth blend.

@@scottalynch The last (and best) of the Package Age of Disney Animated Canon films, "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad", where the first half was Wind in the Willows and the second half was The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
@@HobGungan Wind in the Willows is garbage, but Sleepy Hollow is one of the best Disney films.
@@Progger11 I try not to disparage the classics, but yeah I always skip straight to Ichabod Crane. Good ol' Bing!
I watch this film every Halloween season. It’s become my tradition. This year will be the 20th since I started it. Glad you enjoyed it. It’s one of my favorites. 🎃

I watched this so many times growing up. I even had the toys. (Yes, they had toys for this movie.)
I love Sleepy Hollow! It is my fave gothic fairytale.
Christopher Walken is the best actor you will ever witness. He is so awkward and strange that you want to learn how to be him.
Oddly some of his best performances are where he's not awkward e.g. Deerhunter.
His body movement is very influenced by his dance and theater background. The more you watch him, the more you pick it up.
Good actor, Simon Russell Beale is better
Have you seen him in Things to do in Denmark when your Dead? He's basically just a talking head but steals every scene.
Things to do in Denver when you are dead is a somewhat chaotic film. Walken's performance is OK
Have you seen Death of Stalin , Russell Beale's performance is stupendous
Another Tim Burton and Johnny Depp movie i highly recommend is Ed Wood (1994) and also Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Yes Ed Wood!! Totally agree.
Don't forget Corpse Bride
One of my favorite Tim Burton films, and my go to Halloween movie. So darkly gorgeous, with a great mystery and it knows when not to take itself too seriously.
Agreed. Tim Burton is my all-time favorite director, and this is one of my favorites of his movies.
One of my all-time favorite horror films! So glad you watched this one!

Aaand you lost me at Sharknado. Intentionally awful is still awful

@@SB992REBORN Yes it is.
The witch channeling that demonic lady was nightmare fuel for me as a kid
21:50🤣 That was definitely how I was feeling about this twist!
Oh and flour well dispersed in air really DOES violently explode.
it's crazy when you think about it, Palpatine and Dumbledore in the same movie :)
And Sauraman or Count Dooku.. Depending on which way you want to go . Also Darth Maul
This movie has had such an impact on me for the longest time. One of my OC's are hugely inspired by the headless horseman. I love every bit of screen time he gets. His conviction and presence, the music, the high-key lighting and color palettes that brought out rich colors on screen, making the movie age so well. Everything is perfect.
People should also check out the old Disney short animated film The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949). This movie references it a few times.
Watch Johnny Depp again in Edward Scissorhands. That's another Tim Burton movie that everybody loves 💘.

Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite movies this time of year, From Hell is another great Johnny Depp Halloweenish movie.
Another worthwhile watch for any Johnny Depp fan is Secret Window. It's based on a Stephen King story and Depp gives a great performance! 👍
Please see FINDING NEVERLAND when you get the chance. Brilliant combination of biopic and fantasy. Tells the story of what inspired JM Barrie to write PETER PAN, with Johnny Depp playing Barrie. Kate Winslet also appears in it.
Was hoping she would recognize Count Dooku and Emperor Palpatine
4:51 - “Show us the face!” The HEADLESS Horseman would be facepalming if he could lol
“Show us the face!” You may have missed an important aspect of a “Headless Horseman”
absolute classic. i watch this every single halloween season
I saw this when it came out in the theater and loved it! It really only slightly resembles the original story, but it's still very entertaining.
Right around this time, Johnny Depp put out a small string of absolute sleeper gems. This and From Hell are probably the best of them.
I love him in a "detective" capacity - From Hell was awesome, but I also loved The Ninth Gate.
Have you seen the old animated Sleepy Hollow, love that one. This one is good as well.
This is my favorite ghost story and one of Tim Burton’s most underrated movies!
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
Glad to see my favorite reactor watching my favorite movie
Thanks for reacting to one of my fav movies plus my dad's fav too
Two underrated movies with Johnny Depp that I recommend for reaction:
"Astronaut's Wife" - sci-fi thriller, Depp is amazing in it.
"The Tourist" - he stars with Angelina Jolie and it's a romantic adventure in Venice. Funny and exiting. Jolie is so beautiful in this movie!
Oh I absolutely love both of those movies. I pretty much love all Johnny Depp films. The Tourist was excellent and definitely underrated. The Astronaut's Wife was so good also. Totally different characters show his versatility. It got terrible reviews but Once Upon A Time In Mexico worth a watch for Depp's character alone. He is awesome in that.
I love when the subtitles spoon-feed me lol

Didn't Christopher Lee play Dracula in the Hammer Studios movies? And he's in this.
@@w1975b He did indeed....several times.
@@w1975b Michael Gough (Alfred from the first 4 Batman movies) was Hammer's Dracula first and is also in this film. So this movie has 2 Hammer Draculas, 3 Sith Lords and a bunch of other stuff going on.

I watched this movie like 8 months ago for the first time. Loved it.

I'm glad Lola appeared to watch Sir Christopher Lee's scene, not sure if you noticed the plethora of big names, but Lola sure did :D
Lee (Saruman, Dooku)
Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine)
Miranda Richardson (From Blackadder, us Brits worth our salt love her)
Michael Gough (Batman 89 to Batman and Robin, as well as the first hammer Dracula with Christopher Lee :D )
Ray Parks was the Horseman for most of it, Darth Maul/Toad ((X Men)
That's Ray Park, without an S, and Miranda Richardson is actually best known as Rita Skeeter from the Harry Potter movies as Blackadder didn't get that big an international release (I was actually not aware until today that the erotic 3D/CG artist had named himself after a series).
Next Johnny Depp Horror : "From Hell". Also a great movie

And Uncle Dursley, Rita Skeeter and Alfred the butler
@@elizabethstrong6057 And Darth Maul and the "More cowbell" guy.
Miranda Richardson was terrifying in this and hilarious in Blackadder
Blackadder II is probably my favourite one, and Miranda is one of the reasons
She definitely has a penchant for playing characters who initially seem innocent, but who ultimately have rather devious ulterior motives (see her guest spots in the third and fourth seasons of _BlackAdder,_ as well as "Dance with a Stranger" in addition to this movie).
This is a great "rework" of the classic Headless Horseman. It is a very enthralling movie.
enjoyed the reaction from you as well.
This is such a great film
Oh you picked a good one Mary Cherry.
The scene with the “horseman” and the pumpkin was from an animated movie. It’s called Icabod and the toad. You could see it on here.
This film is my top 2 Gothic style horror who-dun-it films. The other is Brotherhood of the Wolf / Le Pacte des loups 2001 French film with very much similar atmosphere
Flippy!
You missed that The actor Casper Van Dien who played Brom Van Blunt was Lt Ricco in Starship Troopers which you’ve already reviewed.
another movie with Depp/Burton collaboration is "Ed Wood" an underrated classic.

Very underrated one of my top Halloween stories
This was my first date film in High School. Magical time. Damn Im old
Okay boomer 🤪
I love this reaction, it's sooo fun to watch!
"That's probably why he's so attracted to her, because she reminds him a lot of his mum" you and I both realized that 😁
i see this movie at least once a year, sometimes more since I was a kid.
Having not seen this film in maybe 20 years, I forgot how gory it was -- much more so than "Sweeney Todd."
And, yes, the fact that you have Emperor Palpatine, Professor Dumbledore, Vernon Dursley, Principal Rooney, and Alfred Pennyworth all in one scene makes this film all the more epic (not to mention Saruman/Count Dooku in another).
I love this movie and really enjoyed your reaction. Thanks for sharing!
One of my favorite Halloween movies!
Fun Fact: Ray Park aka Darth Maul played the Headless Horseman
Hi Mary! I love so much the head spin you tried to make. That's the reaction everyone loves to see. It seems like you enjoyed this as much as we all did. If you are interested to see more Depp, watch, "Finding Neverland". Thanks

That old man at the beginning should have asked the headless horseman if he liked to wrestle.
I live on the Hudson River, about an hour's drive north of Sleepy Hollow. The folk there have quite a Halloween celebration every year and the cemetery has lots of famous people like Washington Irving himself.
Sleepy Hollow was my addiction to gothic horror, and it's one of my all time favorites.
Yo this Halloween program has been on POINT with the movies!
0:30 - 1:12 was like 300 % of the anxiety I experienced during this whole vid.
If you like musicals, Sweeney Todd (2007) is another great Tim Burton & Johnny Depp production with this dark style and spilling blood. A good show about witches is Salem (2014-2017), no Tim Burton or Johnny Depp this time, but the same dark horror style (and it's a bit Game of Thronesy, if you know what I mean.)
My favorite Tim Burton movie period
Also the first horror movie I ever saw
Christopher Lee has a history with Hammer Horror. He played Dracula in the Hammer Horror Dracula movies. He is one of the scariest versions of the character.
This was one of Christopher Lee's favourite movies to work on, despite having such a small role in it.
Hey Mary, if you're looking for more Johnny Depp recommandations, especially with Halloween coming up, I highly recommend The Ninth Gate!
Great flick.
If I had a child I would absolutely name him Ichabod!
It's always a nice moment, that you make us spend with your videos. Thanks !
I've been to Sleepy Hollow. It's about 40 minutes outside of NYC and called Tarrytown now.
Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed... North America has so relatively few folk tales compared to other places, but the headless horseman is still one of my favorite!
Funny fact Mary, I saw this when I was nine years old. Scared the living hell out of me!
If memory serves, in an interview Depp said that he based his performance on a pre-pubescent Angela Lansbury (unknown if he was kidding or not about this)
Wherever your recommendations come from they should also have mentioned another Tim Burton and Johnny Depp movie, I highly recommend Ed Wood from 1994.
I actually grew up in a town right next to Sleepy Hollow.
The judge in the beginning is the late and legendary Christopher Lee from Dracula to Star Wars, Ian McDiarmid from Star Wars and Ray Park from Star Wars. Great reaction!
