Heads Roll to a Femme Fatale in Tim Burton’s ‘Sleepy Hollow’ [The Lady Killers Podcast]
“You’re just in time to have your head cut off.”
As the autumn days wear on, horror fans around the world mourn the passing of spooky season and turn their lonely eyes to November. What better film to watch while finishing off the Halloween candy than Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow?
Adapted from Washington Irving’s 1820 short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” this icy film begins in an autumnal cornfield and ends on a snowy street just in time for a new century. Burton’s version of the story also features a surprising number of witches, a baffling appearance by Christopher Walken, and one of the most stunning villain reveal dresses in cinematic history.
Don’t be a goose and join The Lady Killers: A Feminine Rage Podcast as they dig into this transitional grayscale classic with an episode on the story’s vengeful killer, Lady Van Tassel (Miranda Richardson). Does she have a first name? Why does her sister live in a cave? What kind of master plan includes awkwardly-staged cunalingus from Jeffrey Jones?
Together, Jenn Adams, Sammie Kuykendall, Mae Shults, and Rocco T. Thompson will answer all these questions and more while discussing their feelings about Burton’s overall body of work, controversial performances, and the lingering terror of the original Disney short. They’ll figure out who governs the horseman while bidding farewell to the Halloween season and deciding once and for all, would they die for Lady Van Tassel?
