Skeptical young detective Ichabod Crane gets transferred to the hamlet of Sleepy Hollow, New York, where he is tasked with investigating the decapitations of three people – murders the townsfolk attribute to a legendary specter, The Headless Horseman.
Editor's Verdict
"Sleepy Hollow is primarily a Gothic horror/mystery film set in the fall. While it had a holiday season release date, there are no substantive Christmas elements regarding setting, plot, themes, or iconography that would qualify it as a Christmas movie."
