Sleepy Hollow
Tim Burton's stylish 1999 adaptation of " The Legend of Sleepy Hollow ," turns Ichabod Crane ( Johnny Depp ) from schoolteacher to constable sent to Sleepy Hollow by superiors tired of him spouting nonsense about using evidence, science, and logic to solve crimes. The small hamlet in upstate New York has had a series of recent murders, all decapitated by a figure on horseback who the locals believe to be the ghost of a Hessian mercenary in search of a head.
