Disney Masterpiece

I remember when I was 6, watching THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW with my cousins. ("THE LEGEND OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN" it's the title here in Brazil)

I really enjoyed it. It was funny, romantic and very creepy I may say! I remember being freaked out of walking on the field at the my grandmother's farmhouse.

Creeepy! Later, I watched the intense version of the same book "SLEEPY HOLLOW" with Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton, which was rather very good I may say.

Anyway, THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW is entertainment for the entire family!
