My brother had this on tape when we were kids and I LOVED it. I wish it would be released on DVD, complete with that deleted scene, which really explains a LOT prior to the schoolhouse going waka waka.

One thing that confused me for years, here Ichabod is a very intellectual skeptic who doesn't believe in ghosts, so I couldn't figure out why in every other version he was such a bumbling coward, because I thought this portrayal of Ichabod Crane was the accurate one.

(SPOILER warning for this version)
This version is by no means one of my favorites, but it's interesting if only because it's obviously the one that Tim Burton saw before making his version:
1. Making Crane a skeptic instead of a credulous coward? Check!
2. Setting key scenes in a snowbound forest instead of an autumnal village? Check! (though the main parts of Burton's movies are very autumnal)
3. Building suspense before getting to the story's general plot? Check!
3. Two headless horsemen, one fake (done by Brom), one real? Check!
4. Having Crane end up with Katrina instead of being "spirited away by the Headless Horseman"/ "become a New York lawyer"? Check!
Jeff Goldblum's Crane is OK, not distinguished but not bad, but I thought it funnier for the many moments in which he appears to be channelling Jim Hutton's Ellery Queen!

I thought this was really good the one time I saw it. In fact for years I pictured Ichabod as Jeff Goldblum so much that I was shocked to see him when he got buff for a bit.

So did I, so the picture of Ichabod in Scooby Doo and the Headless Horseman of Halloween always confused me, a very light pasty skinned fellow with a pointed nose. Now you read the description of him and it seems more to suit Peter Wingfield as Methos on "Highlander". |
