Sleepy Hollow (1999 ; 105 brain eaters) : Directed by the amazing Tim Burton and based on the Washington Irving story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow , written by Kevin Yagher (screen story) and Andrew Kevin Walker (screen story) (screenplay) and music done by Danny Elfman. This film stars Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Sir Michael Gambon, Miranda Richardson, Casper Van Dien, Jeffrey Jones, Ian McDiarmid, Michael Gough, Richard Griffiths and Christopher Walken. The majority of the filming took place in England where the crew built an entire soundstage with a budget of $70,000,000 and grossing around $207,000,000. In 1799, the early United States of America, young policeman Ichabod Crane is sent to from New York to the fledgling settlement of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of ghoulish murders. On his arrival, the town council informs him that the three victims were killed in open ground, and the heads had disappeared and taken by a headless ghost that is supposedly responsible. Ichabod is unconvinced of this, but learns more about the ghostly horseman, it is the ghost of a Hessian sent by the British during the revolutionary war, and he was caught by redcoats and decapitated with his own sword. When Ichabod sees the ghost kill one of the town council members, his skepticism evaporates and he soon discovers that the horseman's ghost has an unholy connection to Balthus Van Tassel, a wealthy farmer and whose daughter Ichabod is falling in love with. This is a perfect movie from Hallloween time, grab some popcorn and enjoy!
