The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1980)


A Fun Version Of The Story


I knew there was another version of Sleepy Hollow that I watched as a preteen/teen - I when I saw this one on YouTube I said "I knew it! This is it! This is the film I've been trying to remember!" So good to see this one again!! The movie is just as good as my memory was telling me.

The movie is not so much of a horror as it is more of a light comedy-horror. It's has a great atmosphere, fun version of the story and Jeff Goldblum as the famous Ichabod Crane.  Goldblum is great in this role, he's well suited for the part.

If you like Sleepy Hollow then I do suggest that you give this version a try. And for more Headless Horseman & Ichabod try The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) and Sleepy Hollow (1999) - the three would make an excellent triple feature for a night of Headless fun.

9/10
