The Washington Irving tale is a perfect fit for the gothic sensibility that characterises Tim Burton as a film-maker.

Sleepy Hollow marked the sunset of Burton’s can’t-miss era—still-able-to-shock preexisting material full of indelible imagery and original design.

Love Tim Burton. Love Danny Elfman. The cinematography was perfect. Having a Coppola as a producer never hurts!
