Sleepy Hollow (1999) is a gothic horror film directed by Tim Burton, loosely based on Washington Irving’s classic short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The film stars Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane, a quirky and skeptical police constable from New York City who is sent to the rural town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of gruesome murders. The victims are found decapitated, and the townspeople believe that the legendary Headless Horseman, a ghostly figure on horseback, is responsible.

As Ichabod delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers dark secrets and supernatural elements that challenge his scientific approach to crime-solving. The film also stars Christina Ricci as Katrina Van Tassel, a local woman who becomes Ichabod’s ally, and Christopher Walken as the terrifying Headless Horseman.
