Versioni alternative: - In the second theatrical trailer, there is a scene where Katrina and ichabod have a conversation, which is not included in the final cut. Also, some bits of footage was reportedly cut from the beginning of the film, during the court session with Cristopher Lee and Johnny Depp. Also, in the "Behind The Legend" featurette included in the DVD edition of the film, a deleted scene is included: Katrina explains to Ichabod that not everyone believes it is the Horseman who's killing the people, but rather the Witch Of The Western Woods, who has made a pact with Lucifer. The scene begins with Ichabod asking if the entire town of Sleepy Hollow believes The Headless Horseman is killing the townspeople. Later in the making-of featurette, there is an alternate take on an already existing scene: Katrina's father doesn't say that all of the townspeople is going to speak out against him, but rather the person who has set up the meeting in the church. This scene is right after Ichabod discovers Katrina's stepmother's secret, and right after she explains Ichabod about it, among other things discussed. - To get a "Not under 12" rating the German version was cut for violence. The uncut version was released on video/DVD and is rated "Not under 16".

Plot: The classic story of "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" is brought to life by the gothic film maker Tim Burton. Johnny Depp plays Ichabod Crane, and to win the heart of Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci) he will have to brave the nearby woods, even though several decapitated bodies have been found. And then the legend of the axe wielding headless horsemen come together to make this movie. Inspector Ichabod Crane of the New York police arrives in the small village of Sleepy Hollow in 1799 to solve a mystery of murders. With all the victims found with their head missing, everybody in Sleepy Hollow is talking about the ghost of the "headless horseman" who is out in the woods, seeking revenge for his murder, many years ago. Crane, believing only in logic refuses to believe the public's theory about the horseman and begins his investigations, only to find his faith shattered when he himself encounters the headless horseman. A magical tale of sense against myth. 1799: Ichabod Crane is a constable from New York who is most concerned with all the new scientific gadgets that will allow him to do his job better. However, he is quite squeamish about his latest assignment: traveling to the town of Sleepy Hollow, where there have been a series of murders involving people whose heads have been cut off. The locals believe it is the work of the legendary Headless Horseman. Ichabod does not believe this, but with the help of the fair Katrina Van Tassle and the young son of one of the victims, he uncovers some very interesting evidence that would suggest otherwise.
