Movie Location: Sleepy Hollow, New York
Movie and TV Show: Sleepy Hollow
Ever since Washington Irving created his Halloween adventure about the Headless Horseman, the small but charming town of Sleepy Hollow has been praised for its haunted folklore.
But in 1999, Hollywood…and Johnny Depp turned the tale on its head to remake a mystery horror film based on the original story.
In the movie, Ichabod Crane is a constable that’s hired to investigate a few headless slayings in the area perpetrated by none other than the famous Headless Horseman himself.
The movie portrays the town of Sleepy Hollow in its turn-of-the-century landscape, covered bridge included, ragged windmill, cloudy days, and eerily murky nights.
While the movie was filmed mostly in England, the original town contributes to this adaptation’s overall spooky tone while maintaining the original story’s traditional setting. Nowadays, this “movie location” is a big draw among many tourists each year.
But just like Salem, autumn and especially Halloween are a fan favorite for many tourists.
