| Washington Irving's story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a classic
Halloween tale, so it is a bit odd that this interpretation of that
story was release during the Christmas season. Perhaps it was intended
for the October time frame but was delayed. more |

unexplained events are caused by no human, but truly a supernatural force.

| Washington Irving's story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has been dusted
down and given the Tim Burton treatment. Burton excels in bewitching us

| Tim Burton is one of the few directors in Hollywood that can realistically
label himself as a true "artist," rather than simply a "moneymaker" or just a
plain, old "director." Burton brings a high level of originality to each of

| Tim Burton's films have always been filled with a sweet or sour amount of
gothic prancing. The first 'Batman' movie he directed in 1989 was always
balanced with a sense of fun even though it was dark enough to startle the
most loyal fan of Bob Kane's...more |

| What we experience in watching Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow" is a modern
treatment of an eighteenth-century tale. As such, it is very slick and
rather fast-paced. It is not, however, anything close to Washington
Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy...more |

| Throughtout movie history, there have been some very simple rules that almost
