  8. 6. Johnny Depp, to give life to the character of Ichabod Crane, was inspired by two characters: Peter Vincent of Night of Fear (1985) and Sherlock Holmes.


    5.Possibly next to Ed Wood and Big Fish they are the most round works of Burton.
    With a photograph close to black and white and very monochromatic, which helps to create the unreal atmosphere of the story.
    I guess the climax in the mill is a tribute to Frankenstein, and many horror movies.
    That Coppola appears as a producer is because he spent years trying to take the story to the movies, but he did not succeed, and even then he had enough rights in the story that forced him to accredit him as a producer, despite not dealing with the director ever.
    I have a doubt, do you suffer a curse that forces you to write once a week how little you like the Man of Steel or are faced with an inescapable duty to remind us not to see it, nor buy it in blu Ray, every time Is the opportunity offered? Because this nonsense of taking advantage of a post to mess with something that did not come to mind, was bad habit of editor who did not name.

    7.The legend tells the story of Ichabod Crane, an extremely superstitious school teacher from Connecticut who falls in love with the 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the only daughter of Baltus Van Tassel, a wealthy village farmer, and his fortune, to the which is also intended by the young and rude Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt. One placid night the ambitious teacher attends a party at the home of the Van Tassel. Dance, enjoy the feast and listen to the spooky stories told by Brom and the rest of the locals, although their sole purpose is to declare themselves to Katrina after the guests leave.
    After an unsatisfactory statement, Ichabod rides home through the spooky forests between the Van Tassel farm and the Sleepy Hollow settlement.
