‘Sleepy Hollow’: Tim Burton’s Ode to Hammer Horror [Horror Queers Podcast]
What a goose!
After closing our month of erotic thrillers with a look at the Wachowski sisters’ queer neo-noir Bound and the ultra sexy queer French thriller Stranger By the Lake, we’re kicking off spooky season (and our 250th episode!) with a look at Tim Burton‘s 1999 ode to Hammer Horror: Sleepy Hollow!
In Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of three people. While there, he becomes romantically entangled with Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci) and discovers that the murderer is the legendary apparition The Headless Horseman (Christopher Walken and Ray Park).

Episode 250: Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Watch your head because we’re kicking off spooky season (and our 250th episode!) with a look at Tim Burton’s extremely Halloween-y classic Sleepy Hollow (1999)! From Johnny Depp’s effeminate interpretation of Ichabod Crane to Miranda Richardson’s devilishly campy climactic performance, this movie has it all!
Join us as we praise, well, pretty much everything about Tim Burton’s ode to Hammer Horror (and Disney’s animated version of the story). But hey, the movie kills a kid! Plus: Elfman’s score, bad wigs, eating the rich, and Joe teaching Trace what a trompe-l’œil is.
Cross out Sleepy Hollow!
Coming up on Wednesday: It’s a Friday the 13th this week so we’re hading back to Crystal Lake to discuss the very first sequel Friday the 13th Part 2!
