- GoofsIchabod Crane performed autopsies on cadavers and these bleed in spurts. When a person dies, all the blood inside the body quickly coagulates.
- Quotes
Ichabod Crane: Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits - shown over Ichabod's travel to Sleepy Hollow - interact with the landscape: if Ichabod's coach is near a river, the words are reflected on the surface of the water; if he's in a forest the letters drift away like dead leaves, and so on.

Featured review
Strangely comical, yet still an excellent film.
Any reservations that I had about the film being be a turkey, were almost immediately quelled upon seeing the movie. From the offset Mr. Depp throws himself into the role of Icabod Crane with enthusiasm and gusto; portraying excellently a man of "science" suddenly out of his depth in legend. Christina Ricci also plays the role of Katrina van Tassel superbly; a sure sign of good things to come from this talented young actress.
I would be reluctant to call this film an outright horror film - the special effects are used primarily to enhance the plot and visual appearence, and the gore level is low. The visual detail is a masterpiece - the sets are fantastic and lighting brilliant. Tim Burton has superbly used music and suspense to build the thrill in the film. However, the comical interjections provide the required break-up of the suspense.
All in all a very well put together film, with solidly good acting, and most of all a superb plot. Well worth seeing!
