    I absolutely agree that the Glenn Close animated version is fantastic. It captures the authentic flavor and essence of Irving’s classic tale. The best, most authentically faithful to the story film version is the 1999 “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” which starred a Canadian actor named Brent Carver and is available on Amazon Prime.

    This version was actually my introduction to the story, and to this day is still the first thing I think about any time I hear "Sleepy Hollow." It's such a creepy and perfect telling. So cool to see I'm not the only one who has fond memories of it! Funny enough, we also used to rent it from our local library when I was a kid. We actually borrowed it so much they ended up either selling or giving it to us at one point lol.

    I was pleasantly surprised to discover this video. I have always wanted to go to Sleepy Hollow in the autumn; that's been a dream of mine for years, but it sadly hasn't happened yet. It's one of several places I'd love to travel to someday, and it's right up in the top three.
    The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a massively important story to me, too; when I was a kid, I adored the book, and I started telling the story to lower grade levels at my school district as early as Junior High. I still annually go back to my old Elementary School (and sometimes the Junior High School) and tell them the story of Sleepy Hollow in my own words, using as much of Irving's words as I can in my speech. To me, it's one of my favorite tales, and it's second only to Dracula and some of the works of Edgar Allan Poe as my favorite piece of spooky classic literature. I've even dressed up as the Horseman a few times for Halloween, and I'm hoping to write a stage production based on the story in the near future!
    As far as the Rabbit Ears special goes...honestly, I go back and forth on which I prefer between it and the Disney Version. The Disney Version is the more exciting take; it goes all out with wild shenanigans, musical routines, and that intense chase scene that mixes humor and fright simultaneously. I love the colors it uses and I love the character designs. And it helps that it was one of my introductions to the story.
    Rabbit Ears, however, was also heavily influential on me, and I think it works in a different way; it's more subtle, and it uses a very different sense of style and color palette. The music in the Disney version makes me want to sing along, but the Rabbit Ears music by Tim Story has this hypnotic, dreamlike quality that transports me to another time and place. Disney I think does a great job in terms of the story and making it more cinematic, but Rabbit Ears just so perfectly captures the raw ESSENCE of what Sleepy Hollow is - as a story and even as a place, I think. The best way to put it is the Disney version feels like it's trying to represent a fairy-tale of Halloween, while Rabbit Ears feels more like an authentic vision to the past. It feels more like a "legend," as opposed to a pure fantasy.
    I'm rambling a bit, sorry. XD Bottom line, I'm so happy to have found this video, and found someone else who loves the Rabbit Ears take (or even knows about it), and your passion for this story and Halloween itself is truly heartwarming. Watch out for the Headless Horseman this year! ;)

      You did a great job pointing out the pros of both the Disney and Rabbit Ears versions. I agree. I do personally lean more towards the Rabbit Ears one, but both are fantastic in their own right.

    I randomly thought about this version the other day. The part I remembered best was when Ichabod first encounters ‘The Headless Horseman’ and says, “who are you?”
    So I did some searching on UA-cam and found your video. And my man, without it I would have probably never figured out the exact version. I used to always rent this from the library when I was younger, too. I actually did find this version online and if anyone is interested in watching I can link you to it.
    It’s awesome to me that so many others, including yourself, share a love for this version. I loved everything about it as a kid and can’t believe I forgot about it for so long. Thank you once again :)

    Coming from Australia, where Halloween is nowhere near as big as it is in the US, the spooky Autumn feel of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow was both foreign and frightening, yet cozy and familiar. It's such a shame that none of the big budget adaptations have been able to completely capture that.

    • @brendansrambles9464
      @brendansrambles9464  3 роки тому +2

      Yeah, it really is a shame. We are long overdue for a faithful film adaptation. If they make one and choose to change the story a bit, I'd honestly be OK as long as the atmosphere is done right. I think the mood and setting of the story are honestly its most important and appealing traits.

    This version introduced me to the story, and made me completely fall in love with it. I would rent the VHS from my library every weekend, even though it scared me and gave me nightmares every time. I watch it every Fall/Halloween, and it only takes those first few musical notes for me to be immediately taken back to being a child. It's my dream to visit Sleepy Hollow. I love the story, and this film, so very much. In such an odd way, it feels like home. Even after all these years, I'm still obsessed with this story. I've lost count of how many times I've read it, and I'm pretty certain I've seen every version. It's all so wonderful. Thanks for this video. It cheered me up!

      Halloween is actually pretty big over here in the UK contrary to what people from the US often presume; in fact it was invented here (based on various older English and other British isles traditions) and even things such as dressing up and doing something similar to trick or treating predate their introduction in the Americas, with Scotland being especially fond of the practice. Carving faces onto things like turnips (pumpkins were not yet introduced) were common in Ireland and Great Britain also.

I went to my childhood home this afternoon and went through my old room. At the top of the closet, there it was, the giant silver box looking machine, next to the old record player (looked to be 80’s era) and inside the glass window in the stereo was the Legend of Sleepy Hollow cassette tape. I took it out and saw it said “Narrated by Glenn Close.” I had no idea. We just thought it was a creepy voice meant to scare us. I’m 30 now and just realized who that was.

    My favorite animated version of the story came out about 1970. It was paired up with Irving's Rip Van Winkle, and was made by an Australian company called API. This has been released on videotape, but not DVD. It created in me a love for Irving's writings. Irving wrote a number of ghost stories. I think my favorites would be Guests From Gibbet Island and The Bold Dragoon. A very good film adaptation of The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow also came out about 1980, starring Jeff Goldblum as Ichabod Crane.

      @@brendansrambles9464 Don't know how much you're into current fiction, but at the library of the city I live in, I'm able to pick up a free magazine called Book Page, which highlights fiction of all types and for all age groups. The current issue of Book Page is dedicated to Halloween. In the issue are discussed current ghost story and horror novels. One, titled Horseman, by author Christina Henry, is an update on The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow (well, sort of an update). The story's main character is named Bente "Ben" Van Brunt, who is the 14 year old grandson of Katrina Van Tassel and Brom Bones. Ben has visions of the headless horseman, who tells Ben that he is there to protect Ben. I always find it interesting when current authors take well known characters created by other authors, and put a new spin to them. Several years ago, a novel came out called Mr. Timothy, which imagined Timothy Cratchit as a young man living in London. I have the novel, and thought it was good.

      I love that version. The Rip Van Winkle was especially influential for me as it was the first time I saw that story adapted. API were great, their Ivanhoe is one of the best versions of that tale, as is their Robin Hood and Treasure Island. A spinoff studio called Burbank did a lot of good adaptations in the early 80s too.
      The version with Goldblum is pretty great too.

    I completely agree with you! I am not from the USA but I absolutely love this story and the telling narrated by Glenn Close is very great, as is the version narrated by John Carradine. For me Halloween is less great if I don't want at least one 'Legend of Sleepy Hollow' related thing.
    I love Jason and Freddie too, but I have a very special love for classic horror and gothic tales and I really feel that it is a shame that the young 'uns these days don't. Back in the 20th Century, when I was a kid, we still loved the old stuff and Halloween wasn't Halloween without Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, the Mummy etc. Nothing gets you in the mood for the season like the old classics and I feel that by them becoming underappreciated and with less exposure, kids these days are actually missing out on a lot. Now I rarely even see trick or treaters dressed up as horror characters it is now all (living) pirates and other things of that nature. Sad.

    Burton's film, though fantastically macabre and a visual delight (essentially eye candy for me and not much more), is such a loose adaptation; it takes the story as inspiration, and some of the character names ... but it comes up empty and disappointing-- rather hollow, if you'll allow the pun. Why he didn't stick to Irving's actual tale is a mystery, and such a missed opportunity! And the thing is, I really like what Depp and Burton did with the Ichabod character-- but they should have made this Constable an original character, in a different movie thriller/comedy.
    I have not seen every filmed version of the story-- never watched the Jeff Goldblum one, nor the Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales and Legends (with Ed Begley Junior and Beverly D'Angelo). Not sure if they're worth one's time. Ages ago I heard Glenn Close's version on an audio cassette and was very impressed. Such a fun listen. Man, those food descriptions alone were brilliant.
    I love Halloween time, and when it's done I get a little blue for a while. It's finished so fast, and then BOOM we're prepping for Turkey Day and Christmas. You have to heave aside all the spooky stuff quick and store it away. Honestly, since adulthood I've felt that Halloween ought to be changed to the last Friday or Saturday in October, so that kids can enjoy more if it; but I understand it's a "number of the month" holiday because of All Saints Day and all that. This year we had a special All Hallows Eve ... that full moon, and falling on a Saturday, and gaining an hour that evening.
    Like all Halloween aficionados, I have specific movies I like to enjoy every October. Some of those include Creepshow, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Lady in White, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Halloween (1978), Monster House, Beetlejuice, Arsenic and Old Lace, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Trick 'r Treat, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, et cetera.
    Really enjoyed this video. Great imagery and insights and memories. Solid narration that was a good audio level (so many UA-cam channels have atrocious narration and/or volume, either too rushed or loud or soft or laced with foul language). You seem like a fun guy. Thanks for sharing this. I wish I had stumbled upon it a wee bit earlier this year.

      I agree. I don't hate what Burton and Depp did with the character and some of the new creative choices, I just felt it could have been the definitive big screen version we never got. And, I too get quite blue after Halloween. Everything moves so fast when you get older. I'd be cool with Halloween season lasting moths, but, unfortunately can't be so.
