In one room you got Albus Dumbledore, Vernon Dursley, Emperor Palpatine, the dad from Beetlejuice, and Captain Jack Sparrow. Add to that Christina Ricci and Christopher Walken. Talk about a stacked cast.

Burton, Depp and Elfman is the ultimate bromance of entertainment.

"Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue." Fun Fact: Johnny Depp adopted Goldeneye, the horse that played Gunpowder, Ichabod Crane's horse in this film, when he heard it was going to be put down. Action Actor Fact: Johnny Depp did all of his own stunts for the final scene where he is dragged by the horse. He had bullet-proof clothing underneath his wardrobe. Historical Fact: Washington Irving claimed that Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel were real people. Ichabod Crane was based on Colonel Ichabod Bennet Crane, who was born in 1787 and fought in the War Of 1812. Washington Irving and Colonel Ichabod Crane had met in 1814 at Fort Pike located on Lake Ontario in Sackets Harbor, New York.

Tim Burton's love letter to Hammer Horror.

The guy playing the Headless Horseman (sans head) was none other than Ray Park, the guy who played Darth Maul in the Phantom Menace. That's why the choreography in the fight scenes was so good. Kinda funny that there was another actor in this who was also in TPM (Ian McDiarmid - Palpatine).

The woman next to Micheal Gambon who played Dumbledore is Miranda Richardson who played Rita Skeeter in Harry Potter. She was also in The Crying Game and Damage to name a few films. She is a great actress.

"Whoever they had in the suit doing all that, great work!" That would one Ray Park, AKA DARTH FREAKING MAUL.

I'll never forget how scared i was watching this film in theaters the first time as a kid, now i consider it one of my favorite Halloween films.

Sir christopher lee, a legend in every part of his life. His life story is amazing

Something about Johnny Depp that makes him even more amazing to me is that he doesn’t take himself at all seriously as an actor. He’s physically beautiful but he’s more than willing to act the fool. I’ve heard it said that Johnny Depp is a character actor trapped in a leading man’s body and I think that is so true. I read that when Robin Williams was asked if there was any actor that he wanted to work with but hadn’t yet, he immediately named Johnny Depp. Wouldn’t that have been wonderful??! He said that Depp was absolutely fearless as far as comedy was concerned…high praise from a master. High praise, indeed!!!

Growing up a always loved 'The Tale of the Headless Horseman'. I was so happy to see it brought to life so brilliantly by Tim Burton with Ichabod Crane played by the multi- talented, Johnny Depp.Now, we have the classic tale of Sleepy Hollow to haunt are dreams each and every Halloween.

FANTASTIC REACTION, YALL!!! Some trivia time… The scene’s where Ichabod is being dragged behind the carriage, the Headless Horseman was… great action sequences. They were all filmed on a strip of a set, so basically, it’s a set of a part of a road. It was not very long. All of the trees were decorated and set. What you saw was the genius of Tim Burton and the Cinematographer. He used so many inventive ways to use camera angles to create the entire sequence. You would never know you are seeing the same strip of a set, using the coach, horses, everything. It looks like a real dirt road that went on for miles! Also, when Johnny Depp was being dragged, he was running a fever and was sick but he knew they needed to get the shots so he pushed on ahead. Johnny always keeps one thing from each movie he does. With this film, he kept the Iron Madden that Lisa Marie was killed in. The complete town was built for this film. AMAZING Art/Set decorations! After the filming, the crew has to put the whole area back to the way it was before they started building the sets. The people in the area asked them to keep the Windmill, but legally they couldn’t. A LOT of the imagery you saw from Burton’s direction came from Disney’s “Ichabod and Mr. Toad”. It’s a shortened cartoon that tells the same tale. The shot where Brom Bones was acting as if he was the Headless Horseman to scare Ichabod is straight from Disney. The Horseman holding a flaming, carved pumpkin and throwing it at Ichabod’s head? From Disney. The idea of throwing a flaming pumpkin and hitting his prey is from Washington Irving. Whoever gets hit goes into a coma and dies. If they don’t die, they awaken with a “super” power. A friend of mine wrote a trilogy of books called, “Rise Headless and Ride: The Jason Crane Series”. It is set in today with Jason, who is the Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandson of Ichabod Crane. His parents are dead, so he lives with his Granny. She moves them Sleepy Hollow where Jason has to go to school with the bully football player who is the Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandson of Brom Bones. My friend moved to Sleepy Hollow to get everything correct, the names of the streets, where building are, where the bridge is, etc. He was given special permission to have access to the Historical Society that over sees all of Washington Irving’s life. He wrote me into book Three and HE DIDN’T KILL ME OFF!! My character got to live on! He has now moved to Salem. He is taking the same characters and is writing of the Witch Trials. The books are on Audible…

If I'm not mistaken this was one of the very first movies to be color graded digitally, which made it's look stand out a lot when it was released. Still looks awesome, Burton knows what he likes.

I grew up in the Bronx and my cousin lived in Tarrytown and every halloween, I'd drive over to her house and we would drive all around the roads and fields of Sleepy Hollow...but never met the headless horseman...It was just fun!

Something in the behind the scenes on the DVD is that every single time Johnny Depp had blood sprayed on him, Tim Burton kept doing more takes saying 'more blood'. He would keep doing this just to see Johnny covered in more blood so he could laugh at him.

YES, LOVE THIS MOVIE! It was originally going to be a slasher film involving teenagers getting stranded in Sleepy Hollow and encountering someone dressed like the Headless Horseman but later learn it's the REAL Headless Horseman. Before Johnny Depp was cast as Ichabod Crane, Daniel Day Lewis, Liam Neeson and Leonardo DiCaprio were considered for the role. Marlon Brando was going to play the Headless Horseman but was replaced by Christopher Walken. Winona Ryder was considered to play Katrina Van Tassel until Christina Ricci was cast.

Christopher Lee, one of the all-time greats.

So amazing that Director Tim Burton has worked with most of the actors and actresses in other well-known movies, this one included- Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, the Batman movies, Alice in Wonderland and its sequel, Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to name some!!!!

It's very Gothic feel about it. If you love this, you should check out 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula. It had almost the same Gothic feel too. It's an almost faithful adaptation to the novel. Really creepy too.

There's a 1998 miniseries called "Merlin" with Sam Neill and Helena Bonham Carter which is a great watch. The main antagonist is also played by Miranda Richardson (the stepmother in this movie).

The headless horseman was played by Ray Park (Darth Maul from Star Wars The Phantom Menace), who wore a green screen mask over his head so that it could be digitally removed in post-production. The collar of the costume was also CG to help mask the transition between the practical costume and digital head removal. All of the severed heads were practical props as well. They spent a massive part of the budget to make sure each severed head matched its actor in great detail. I don't remember which cast member it was, but one of them was allowed to keep their head, which they then used to traumatize their wife at home, by placing it in the fridge.

I saw this five times in theaters when I was nine. My mom was very lenient on rated R movies with me. I love this story as a kid and I love every iteration. Had to Subscribe to y’all👏👍👍👍

Y'all's reaction to Casper Van Dien getting sliced was priceless.

This is the second time Johnny Depp played this character. The first was in a '95 movie called Dead Man. Same story style where a young man moves from the East Coast to the Wild West for a job and ends up an outlaw. Complete fish-out-of-water story where he's a coward at the beginning and transforms at the end. You can totally see what Depp took from the character and planted in Sleepy Hollow.

The Horseman (when headless) was played by actor/stuntman/martial artist Ray Park who played "Darth Maul" in Star Wars Episode 1 and also played "The Toad" in the first X-Men movie.

On the topic of mysterious beheadings (yikes) I truly hope some studio makes a film about Nahanni Valley, also known as The Valley of The Headless Men. It's a natural park area in Canada, a huge valley inside a canyon 130 km long (80 miles), surrounded by cliffs 1 km high (3300 feet). There is only one entrance at the south, and there are barely any areas free of trees or hills where helicopters could land, none for airplanes. Over the centuries there have been mysterious events. The valley was the home of the Naha people (hence the name), a native tribe known for raiding and pillaging their neighbors, who lived around the canyon. One day, for unknown reasons, the entire Naha all disappeared just like that. Locals tell stories of dangerous spirits that inhabitate that region. Over the past 200 years, several expeditions have disappeared in the valley, appeared brutally murdered, or even appeared decapitated -the heads were never found- like explorer brothers Willie McLeod and Frank McLeod in 1908, who were looking for gold mines, disappeared, and their headless bodies were later found in the valley, their belongings still with them but their heads never to be found. In 1946 geologists Frank Henderson and John Patterson explored the valley and split up, agreeing to meet back at the entrance a few weeks later. Henderson showed up but Patterson never appeared again. Henderson came back to the valley with a search party, wanting to rescue Patterson wherever he was. The first night the party camped inside Nahanni, a group of First Nations natives approached them in the middle of the night, and told them that "everyone had to leave immediately", as the natives had seen "white figures" roaming the valley, looking for them.

The stuntman/ actor who played the Headless Horseman was Ray Park, who went on to play Darth Maul

STEAM PUNK TECH...LOVE IT!!!❤❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Produced by Francis Ford Coppola, and directed by Tim Burton? This movie is as gothic as it could be! 😂We don't get much gothic romance films nowadays, so this movie holds a special place in my heart 👍

You may not have recognized Christopher Walken as the Headless Horseman. It was him throughout the movie. They just digitally removed his head. Having been born in 1977 and having grown up in the 70's through 90's, I've seen LOTS of Christopher Walken's movies. You two should check him out and see if there are some future reaction videos you can do with some of his movies.

34:43 He could see just fine. Ray Park was wearing a blue ski mask the whole time so they could edit his head out of the film. The most use of CGI in the film was simply to fill in the collar to his suit wherever it got obscured by the head.

Loved yalls reactions to everything so far. New subber here. I thought I'd let you know that the location they used the really used some of the town and alot of the fog was real but they added some more to really kick up the spookiness of the town.

I love the way Miranda Richardson holds her arms up on her dress towards the end when it’s revealed she’s still alive.

This movie really does have some of the best actors ever in it. Shame it gets slept on when it comes to other Tim Burton films.

I love this telling of the story. Enjoy your content so much. Cheers!

One of my favourite movies. In the same vein I suggest Bram Stoker's Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola with Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder and Interview with a vampire by Neil Jordan with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Very good and visually stunning movies

Miranda Richardson (the stepmom) is in Harry Potter, too (Rita Skeeter)

Michael Gough played James Hardenbrook. He will always be Alfred to me. ❤

The doctor was played by Ian Mcdiarmid who was Palpatine in the Star Wars Saga.😊

fun fact: although Christopher Walken play the hessen, when he was headless all the stunt work was played by Ray Park most famously known as Darth Maul from Star Wars episode 1

I absolutely love old Tim Burton's films. They had their own absolutely authentic gloomy atmosphere, into which you are completely immersed. All modern works are mainly rendered using computer graphics, which are very visible and spoil the whole feeling of realism.

I visit Sleepy Hollow (NY) almost every other Halloween. The town goes all out. Love it.

When it came out people decried it a little because of the brightness of the blood. "They could have made it look more natural" was the reasoning. While I don't know if that was confirmed by Tim Burton, but years later people have began to speculate that this was a homage to the old Hammer Horror movies. They were the first prominent horror movies in colour and they made the blood extra bright for contrast and effect. Of course it was intentional to begin with and made for a great effect. Sometimes people overlook things like that at first.

great reaction theres different interps of sleepy hollow that people enjoy this one is enjoyable at best, though it is suspenseful Depp is hilarious

This movie is in my top 5 favorite movies, ever. :D & I love how Ray Park was the stunt double, for the Headless Horseman. :D

The Headless horse man in both this movie & the original novel of sleepy hollow is based on an actual Celtic mythology of an entity in Ireland known by a couple of names, eg The Dullahan , Crom Dubh/ Black Tom, who is the Original Headless HorseMan & is a part of the Unseelie Court( Court of Dark Fairies). In the original stories / Myths, the only way to keep the Dullahan away is to have a piece of pure gold on you, regardless of whatever form it is, ie a hair pin, pendant, cross, pentacle, coin etc. as long as you have a piece of pure gold on your person & in some telling, where the piece of gold can be seen on you, the Dullahan is so terrified at the sights gold it keeps him away completely.

I LOVE THIS FILM!!!!!! it´s one of my absolute favorite comfort movies

sleepy hollow the series is awesome too

Dumbledore, Count Doku (Sauroman the white), Emperor Palpatine, Uncle Vernon, Wednesday, Gabriel, Johnny Rico and Captain Jack Sparrow all in one movie

I love this movie and I haven't seen many reactions to it. I was excited to stumble upon your channel and see it in your uploads! Excellent reaction and I appreciate your discussions about the movie making process and storytelling. I suspect you've seen A Nightmare on Elm Street, so I'll suggest From Hell as the next Depp movie to check out. And check out The Dead Zone for more Christopher Walken, or you could go with The Deer Hunter. Walken won a best supporting actor Oscar for that one, but, man, it's a grim movie.

“Hold my typewriter” had me dying.

HP’s uncle finally got what he deserved lol !

The windmill was a homage to James Whale’s Frankenstein.

One of my all time fav horrors.

The horseman is actually the greatest headhunter out there 😂

Sneaking into movies is a great childhood hobby ❤

Francis Ford Coppola (Godfather Director) is an Executive Producer of this film.

Highly recommend the film "Brotherhood of the Wolf" one of the most awesome action films with a phenomenal story but few people are aware of its existence.

one thing to remembering in the source material Ichabod Crane was a school master and the Hessian/headless horseman is played by Christopher Walken

FUTURE "WEDNESDAY".👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This is my second favorite Tim Burton film. My all time favorite being Batman (mostly because of Jack Nicholson).

Christopher Lee’s character told Ichobard that there had been 3 murders in a fortnight (2 weeks).😊

I LOVE PERIOD FILMS❤❤❤❤

LOTS OF CHARACTER ACTORS IN HIS HIS!!!👍👍👍

love this movie ... the story of Icabod and the horseman was pretty well known for a while.. fun to watch your reaction not knowing it was the headless horseman involved... great reaction.. speaking of fairy tales have you seen Ever After?

My childhood film and also my fav..... Great gothic horror movie!!! 👍

The Headless Horseman was played by Christopher Walken for when he had his head. Ray Park played the Horseman for most of the film, he also played Darth Maul in Phantom Menace, Toad in X-men, and Snake Eyes in GI Joe Retaliation.

Tim Burton has such interesting take on scary movies...

I went and saw it in the theaters with my family. It was *highly* anticipated, lol. Assigned seating still wasn’t a thing (just ordering tickets early on Fandango lol), so you had to show up super early if you wanted good seats. I’m not sure what their actual age difference is, but I always thought of Christina Ricci as being way too young to be JD’s love interest. I still saw her as a child (even though she’s older than me), cuz of The Addams Family and Casper lol. She just has a very youthful face.

If you guys love, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp collaborations, please watch and do a reaction to Ed Wood; arguably the greatest collaboration between them.

My mom and me watched this movie hundred's of times growing up! We could laugh and count how many times Ichabod fainted throughout the movie, making a game out of it. 😆 Out of all the scenes that were supposed to be scary for a kid, the only part that freaked me out as a 7 year old was having to kiss The Headless Horseman, other than that, haha, I would fine. I always loved watching the behind the scenes, special effects and how movies are made.

When this came out I watched it in the theater four times

🙏RIP CHRISTOPHER LEE🙏

The almost colorless atmosphere of the movie makes it all the more spooky and top of the line horror movie material

I remember wanting to see this movie when I was a kid, especially after seeing the Disney cartoon. It was on TV one day, but it was on pay-per-view or we didn't carry the channel. I could barely see the movie, so I decided to keep the TV on to mainly listen to it in the background. I listened to audiobooks growing up, so I figured I could make it work.

48:52 Sisterly love at it's finest.

Tiny humans... perfect.

You guys should watch the craft! It’s such a good movie for the spooky season and such a great movie social commentary

Ray Park was the headless horseman's body. He also played Darth Maul (and Toad in the X-Men).

WITCH IS MIRANDA RICHARDSON, BRIT ACTRESS OF HIGH CALIBER!!❤❤❤❤❤

I'm from sleepy hollow n.y and that pumpkin head scene is basically how the original story ended

If you’re a fan of Christina Ricci, I suggest some of her quirkier films like Pumpkin or Penelope.

34:42: Ray Park was fitted with a special blue hood which they digitally removed. It reminds me of an executioner's hood, which is quite fitting for the performance. In the computer, it would become a black hole so they did a clean background shot to fill in the hole.

Johnny depp and sir Christopher Lees second collaboration, Charlie and the chocolate factory and this, maybe more I don’t know, rest in peace to Michael Gambon 🙏 (aka Dumbledore)

I love Tim burton movies. Y’all should react to the village 2004 and Big Eyes 2014.

Just like with Beetlejuice even after all this time the effects the acting everything still holds up really really well this is actually one of my mandated movies every Halloween season

Johnny Depp was in his mid thirties when he acted in this movie and his love intrest,Christina Ricci, was in her late teens(19 i think). So it would have been kinda weird to have them both full on kiss.

Love your channel! Found you a couple of days ago. Hey you guys need to watch Dark Shadows Tim Burton / Johnny Depp

So OG '89 Alfred, Dumbledore 2, The Galactic Emperor, Saruman and The Principal from Ferris Bueller walked into a bar...

Funny you mention Scooby-Doo. They did a Headless Horseman episode.

I found the book to be really different, I personally really didn't like the book but love the movie versions

SERIES "SLEEPY HOLLOW" IS PRETTY COOL👍🏼👍🏼

LOVE CHRISTOPHER WALKEN AS HESSIAN MERCENARY!!!!❤❤❤🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Ray Park was in the suit he was Darth Maul also

6:28: For anyone who knows of Adam Savage from Mythbusters and Tested on KZfaq, he grew up in Sleepy Hollow.

I like to give this movie the alternate title "CSI: The Origin Story". :)

That "man in the suit" in the cool bridge fight, was none other than Ray Park aka Darth Maul!

I loved and still do love this movie. I watched it when I was a kid, fun fact, this movie was on the TV in my country so I watched it so many times lol. It's been a while since I watched this but still remember the main plot.

You guys should check out The Brothers Grimm

👍
