HALLOWEEN (The legend of sleepy hollow)

THE PLOT

In 1799, New York City police constable Ichabod Crane ( Johnny Depp) is facing imprisonment for going against traditional methods and favoring forensic investigation techniques, such as  autopsies, considered unorthodox and unimportant at the time. Ichabod submits to deployment with his bag of tools to the Westchester County of Sleepy Hollow, New York, which has been plagued by a series of brutal slayings in which the victims have been found decapitated: Peter Van Garrett, wealthy farmer and landowner; his son Dirk; and the widow Emily Winship. Arriving in Sleepy Hollow, Crane is informed by the town's elders that the killer is not of flesh and blood, but rather an undead headless mercenary from the American Recolutionary War who rides at night on a massive black steed in search of his missing head.
