...which has been called a Bond film without all the vices, and the yet-to-be-released Partners directed by Joey Travolta, which is described as a humorous Midnight Run, Casper enthusiastically talked about what it was like to be on Tim Burton's set. Talking about his relatively small part in the film, Van Dien fielded questions about Johnny Depp, Tim Burton and a matchup between the Headless Horseman and The Bugs from Starship Troopers...
...clear idea of where to start in my search for the fear inspiring Sleepy Hollow that hides within the comfortable small town where I grew up. Where better than the home of Washington Irving? I was certain that if the spirit of the Headless Horseman still resided somewhere, it would be in the vast fields that surround Irving's house. So, I headed over to the estate, bought a ticket for the tour and braced myself for what was destined to put a Universal Studios horror tour to shame. Sure, I began to be skeptical when I saw that...
...tour guide was a very bright and well-informed man. Dressed in period clothing, he led us through the idyllic hills of the estate and told us all about Irving's interest in landscape and architecture.

When lanky, schoolteaching Ichabod Crane comes to town, alienating the locals with his intellectual pretentiousness, he scoffs at the legend and further ruffles...
...movies greatest strength is its cinematography. With pale men squeezed into 18th century black suits and a perpetual mist clouding the nights sky, this film is shot in color; it just feels black and white. Filmed at an artificial set in a small town in England, Sleepy Hollow is overwhelmingly gray. It takes some getting used to, as all of Burtons fantasies do, but after about ten minutes of acclimation, the setting takes shape, and you come to appreciate the brilliant construction of the town and the landscape. Corn fields shrink in the shadow of freaky-looking scarecrows...
