Synopsis

In this wickedly funny adaptation of Washington Irving‘s classic tale of superstition and village rivalry, gawky schoolmaster Ichabod Crane fancies himself a dashing, worldly man of learning, capable of winning the heart of Katrina Van Tassel.

Will this beautiful daughter of a wealthy local farmer return Ichabod's affections, or does she have other ideas?

What will be the outcome when Ichabod confronts his desires, fears, and the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow?
