Scariest Scooby-Doo! Villains: The Headless Horseman of Halloween
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- Let’s ride into another villain that gave YOU nightmares, racing his way into nightmares for hundreds of years, and dig into the original text of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.
This was already recorded before the previous video disaster. I forced myself to finish it overnight as an apology and cut around 11 minutes from the video to be able to get it out today. I probably won't make another video for a while despite all the plans I had. Sorry to everyone that doesn't want to support me after yesterday.

It's funny how Ichabod has become the hero of the story in future adoptions and Brombones the villain.
I suspect that's why many, like this show or The Real Ghostbusters, choose to put the story in modern times with Ichabod's descendents. He's a jerk, but they're not.
It’s weird to think this is one of the very few Scooby Doo villains who has an official Lego figure
I actually own that Lego set!
Decided on my headcanon: Since Icabod is older in this version, he was a Widower with at least one adult child when he disappeared. Therefore, leaving made him less of an asshole. His family would he fine.
This would make much more sense and be less worrisome 😌
I thought the same thing, and I also thought that it was possible he was younger, escaped, and left the area until he was old enough to have been forgotten and spent his twilight years in Sleepy Hollow.
You’re right, I’m an adult and I think it’s messed up the idea that the horseman took the dude’s head
Yea I know what the twist is, but still
The continuity of the Scooby-Verse version of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" could be due to how details of the story can be lost the more times when its told via word of mouth. As hearing a story without all the facts would result in details being added or lost over time. Details which would result in a version of the story where Ichabod was a married man before vanishing.
I loved the way they did this monster on the Goblin King movie
I genuinely think that whole scene is perfect. From the moment he shows up you realise he means business
@@Shadowluigi-pj9nq even with all the jokes they make on that scene he´s still intimidating
i remember watching this episode as a kid, the scene of watching Elwood driving off in his car and then hearing the horseman nearby and then appearing with Elwood's head is creepy, especially the laugh and make up, especially when you realize how quickly he would have had to do it
One of few episodes with Scooby-Dum
Amazing episode by the way
The Headless Horseman scared me when I was little, but Mr. Hyde from the Nowhere to Hyde episode is one of my personal scariest Scooby Doo villains! Especially since he was about to turn poor Shaggy into a frog. Don't let the haters get to you, Scoobytopia!
That's going to be the next entry in this series 😝🤫
It’s a shame to see any negative opinions in your comments but opinions are like buttholes everyone has got one and mine is that your videos are some of the most top tier Scooby-doo UA-cam content !! Keep it up King don’t let your crown face the ground unless you are reading a Scooby-doo book. Rehehehe
True.
Most People don't have to overreact about it.
Seeing the Headless Horseman with an actual is creepier than the pumpkin head, seeing the Headless Horseman almost being in Monster Unleashed it got me thinking after watching the Negative 10 rewrite about that should have used other monsters as improvement and do the Ghost Clown next please
back to our more nornal wholesome ep coving content
The other Halloween episode of my childhood.
Would you be willing to combine a lot of your videos into a mega episode? I’d love to have a marathon of these “scariest villains” to binge at once. Love your stuff man!
Perhaps someday, this particular line will probably continue a good while, so it might be premature to do even a part one of a marathon type yet. I do at least have the playlist of all of the scariest villains videos, including ones that I still consider part of it unofficially. 😝
@@Scoobytopia that’s ace! Yeah I don’t mean this as an insult but I love falling asleep to your videos, they relax me, bring me back to a simpler and more creative time. I’m trying to get into storytelling and scooby was actually a huge inspiration to me in writing. If you choose to do like an hour-long marathon video of the scariest videos and call it “part one” that’s fine with me! But I’ll support you whatever you choose to do!
The episode that got me obsessed eith Sleepy Hollow. One of my favorites and another example how I ended up learning more from Scooby Doo then anything else as a kid. Quality work as always ❤
2 uploads within 24hrs POG!
I don't blame him for that
My favorite episode with my favorite ghost based on my favorite ghost tale. I had the 50th anniversary figure. I think in this universe, Crane is a different take. Crane was wed and then pursued by the Horseman.
It's just interesting to think about because they don't bother explaining it, and even the picture of him in the book doesn't really resemble his portrait, the continuity wasn't given much thought lol
FINALLY HES DONE IT! THE EPISODE THAT GAVE ME PTSD AS A KID!!
"PTSD"?
One of my favorite monsters from scooby doo thank you for making this and could you make a video one the space kook he traumitized alot of kids
YEEEASSSSS
The Horseman was really interesting for me as a kid. A lot of scary Scooby villains just kept me from watching the episodes because I didn’t like being scared, but the Horseman scared in me in a way I thought was cool. It honestly may be the first thing as a child that scared me in a good way and helped me get into horror today.
One of my favorite episodes with Scooby -Dum!
I liked the part where Doo and Dum bump noses, and they both laugh. They're both a bit nervous.
I remember watching this episode after seeing Ichabod and Mr. Toad so I was already familiar with the story. I remember seeing this episode after watching Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats. This episode was a lot of fun to watch.
Watching the Spookiest Tales VHS/DVD with Vampire Bats and this back to back is an important life experience
@@Scoobytopia That's true
My all time favorite episode. It really shaped what Halloween should be like for me. The atmosphere and scenery are otherworldly.
Fun fact, the Headless Horseman was originally inspired by the celtic creature or faery known as the Dulahan, a headless rider considered a sign of death to any who see it. They carry their decaying head under their arm and wield a whip made of a spine. Pretty much works the same as any death omen, like seeing your own doppelganger or what have you, but definitely one of the scariest.
Mostly it is usually depicted in media as a more normal human character who just happens to have a detachable head and may or may not ride some form of bike, especially in anime and manga.
So, it is nice that there is still a spirit out there keeping the scares alive, even if just during Hallows eve.
The Dulahan also continues to be quite popular thanks to the series DuRaRaRa!! which features one as a main character searching for her head! I think that might have been my introduction to the folklore of them long over a decade ago now.
@@Scoobytopia I've heard of the character, but I haven't watched the show. She's probably one of the few anime adaptations of the faery that isn't just baseline.
@dcbandit I have a figure of her among others from it, she's probably the best part of the show. It's kind of clever to not only introduce the classic folklore still but update her horse to a motorcycle to adapt herself to modern times.
This is actually false, Irving did not hear about the Dullahan until long after Sleepy Hollow’s publication. The story was inspired by a Hessian soldier who got beheaded by General William Heath’s cannons and a poem by Sir Walter Scott about the wild hunt in Norse mythology. In fact the legend of the Dullahan has been more influenced by Irving’s horseman than the other way around. The soldier who died was a 24 year old named Heinrich Range who died on Nov. 1st, 1776.
Yesssssssss thanks for posting 2 in one week you’re truly a g!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this episode cause I love The Legend of Sleepy Hollow also the battle where the horsemen lost his head was The Battle of White Plains cause according to records of the battle a Hessian Soldier body was found on the battlefield but his head was gone.
I think this was the first episode of The Scooby-Doo Show I EVER saw!
This episode probably is one of my favorites
I really need to rewatch this again when I get achance to soon
Hey I just wanted to say personally, I dont mind you repeating stuff. It honestly doesnt lower my enjoyment of these videos at all. Thankyou for thiss
#Scoobytopia: My Theory: The Horseman that chased Ichabod that night was Brom Bones the whole time, Washington implies this with mentioning how Brom laughs and acts seemingly knowing when the Smashed Pumpkin is brought up, After marrying another Lady, Crane had kids with one or a percentage of his children or decendants moved to Terry Town started a Legacy and thus Crane Manor, and maybe they courted or were courted one of the Van Tassel-Brunts and did what Crane didn't because they learned how to treat a girl right.
The ghost clown from bed lam in the big top next...
This is my absolute favorite episode of any Scooby. My great GMA had a copy of it on vhs in the 90s. I watched it every time I visited her!
Headless Horseman genuinely terrified me as a child
I love this episode.
I have weirdly never thought about how many times they've desecrated graves while looking for clues!
The story's in the public domain anyway, so everyone can come up with their own conclusions with what happened to Ichabod. And maybe that's also what Washington Irving had in mind too; to encourage his audience to think. The literary world was pretty inquisitive in those days. But I think if you've seen this episode, and maybe even the Funky Phantom episode that was also centered in Sleepy Hollow, you can tell Hanna-Barbera wanted to make a happier ending for Ichabod Crane and that he actually survived and had a family, and his descendants eventually returned to Terrytown. And I believe it would make plausible sense that Ichabod wasn't killed by a pumpkin.
This has always been one of my favourite episodes but as a kid it REALLY scared me
I saw this episode back on tv and got it on DVD. The Headless horseman did appear in Scooby Doo and the Goblin King. Also the next episode is either The Ghost Bull, the Monster from the future, the Mystery Machine comes to life, or the Monster Mouse.
i think this episode (or the goblin king movie) was one of the first times i was ever introduced the headless horseman (and by extension, ichabod). i have washington irving's short story collection so i can't wait to read it and see how it was actually written!! another great video 💖
I also have a large book of all of Irving's complete short stories which I've been reading here and there over the last year, and quite enjoyed several of them! The Spectre Bridegroom from the same trilogy of stories as this one was especially engaging, I'm surprised it's not as well known as the other two, not to say that it's unknown, obviously. There are a few shocking 1800s moments here and there in the stories, but otherwise hold up quite enjoyably, especially this one that's stood time the most.
thanks, I'll be sure to take a look at the spectre bridegroom first!! ✌🏻 can't wait for your next video 😁
maybe he married, had kids, and went back to Sleepy Hollow after being tipped off that it was Brom pretending to be the Horseman. Then, one night many years later he met the real Horseman... and fled...
Two of my most craved scoobytopia videos back to back?!!!!
I remember reading somewhere that when the Headless Horseman was cut from Scooby Doo 2, he was apparently replaced by the Black Knight. Could that mean Mr. Wickles in the movie was originally supposed to be Elwood Crane?
I guess Elwood didn’t want to risk them looking over a false “headless body” too much so he just left clothes and the Jack o lantern.
Idk why, but this episode scared the absolute piss out of me when I was a kid…..
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
Fun fact he was meant to be in monsters unleashed
Absolutely love your content ♥️👏🏽
i definitely remember this episode but i remember the goblin king one way more- maybe cause i watched it more.
the goblin one was also kinda hot so-
Definitely love the goblin king version, included him in the thumbnail for that movie's dedicated video because he deserved it bad
Yeah, he's kinda fine for a headless guy.😺
I enjoy your videos immensely! :D Personally for me, the scariest villain was the Phantom Shadow.
Although on another subject, I realized that The New Scooby Doo Show along with What's New Scooby Doo both do an episode involving a were-cat/cat creature, it honestly never occurred to me until just recently!
Maybe Icabod already had a family in this universe, and was just killed by some bandits that robbed him, and to cover up his death they told everyone the story of the Headless Horseman. That would explain why nobody saw him again, and why he was robbed (he was already married to a rich older woman, making him a perfect target).
The time the headless horseman growled, he should laugh instead of growl
Pretty cool episode! Keep up the good work😸
I like all the facts talked about in the intro
I hope we get another sleepy hollow movie someday, its a underrated classic!
I don’t know if you do requests for movie or if you’d even want to talk about this movie but I would love to see someone finally talk about Scooby Doo Music of the Vampire because it’s so good! I mean you have Scooby Doo, you have vampires, and fun musical numbers!
Definitely one of my favorite movies from that time!!
You should do one on the chiller diller movie thriller. That one gave me nightmares. Milo booth is scary...
I'd have to make the same exception as this video since I also talked about his episode in the family tree video as well haha! But after this he should be fair game if I decide he needs to be there quickly.
That’s was a good episode. And the headless horseman was supposed to be in Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed, but didn’t budget cuts or editing stuff.
I remember hearing that he was meant to be the one to duel Fred on his horse, but he got swapped out with The Black Knight Ghost. I agree that it was a shame that he didn't make it into the film
1:18 that would've been kickass.
3:08 To which Burton would say he felt like he was directing an episode of scooby doo half the time. I am not kidding he literally said that.
And still genuinely one of my favorite movies for it, I probably rewatch it as much as I do any Scooby movie proper.
I love Scooby-Doo The Heardless Hoursman .
I know this is unrelated, but… should you ever look at Scoobynatural, I think it’s pretty telling that it’s Jim Krieg’s work.
When the Scooby gang finds out the ghost is real, they all nearly have mental breakdowns. But in Zombie Island… well, it’s that one meme.
“Oh no! Anyway…”
Jim Krieg seems to adamantly believe that the Scooby gang could not handle the existence of the actual supernatural. This is in spite of the fact that even William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were find bending that rule themselves- they were executive producer’s on the 13 Ghosts *and* the red shirt Shaggy trilogy.
Like I said in another video- Jim Krieg clearly wants to force his own narrative on the Scooby fandom.
This is the best scooby doo episode IMO
I was wondering why this was posted on April 28 until I remembered that it's halfway to Halloween (or Halfoween as it's called).
This is probably the second Halloween video I've posted outside of Halloween this year already anyway 😝
The Scooby Doo Headless horseman is also in Lego form.
Don't blame yourself and its really not your fault that the previous video didn't do well as you thought it would yesterday (even though you don't deserve alot of hatred for having your thoughts on HBO Max's Velma), you're the grooviest dude ever and you have the right to share your thoughts on different Scooby-Doo related projects.
But maybe you need abit of a break for awhile, kind of like what I'm still doing right now, since I won't be making videos for awhile.
I hope your own break goes well for you 💪‼️
@@Scoobytopia Thanks, I do need it afterall.
I made a video about it if you want to check it out.
Its no rush at all.
Two Scooby-Doo videos in two Days.
You don't waste time at all.
😅😅😅Oh, that wasn't an insult.
Just had to make that clear.
Please do The Viking Ghosts, and also Phantom of Milo Booth from the Scooby Doo Show Please Please Please!
You should do a shaggy family tree video. I saw that the Scooby doo one has the most views on your channel. If the shaggy one also does good you should do all of the gang family tree.
I think the only other way to explain how Ichabod had kids in Sleepyhollow is that he got a woman pregnant (either unmarried or had an affair with someone) but I doubt the writers meant for that interpretation. LOL
I've always like this story too. Honestly, if you wanted to do a mini series on talking about the different versions people have done of this story, I'd be down for that. LOL
Could you also do The Tar Monster, The Moon Monster, The Headless Spectre, Werewolf, The Ghostly Gondolier, Cat Creature, Ten Thousan Volt Ghost, Red Skull, and Iron face?
Many of these are definitely on the docket for someday! The ghostly gondolier already got covered in another video as extensively as I think I could ever do though, so he will probably stay in that one 😝
@Scoobytopia oh okay! Do you think if you do some digging, you could find canceled Scooby-Doo content? Like canceled Scooby-Doo seasons?
Could you please review the Scooby-Doo stop action episode?
funny don't see many shows that show decedents of his there is a thing with that in the real Ghost Buster the old cartoon there is an episode where the horsemen do's appear and Ichabod does have descendants as well outside of that not many times i can think of where a similar thing happens to what they do here
Did you know that ed edd n eddy halloween episode has the Headless Horseman
Hey I really enjoy your videos but I want to ask you I have the complete series of Scooby-Doo Where Are You and it keeps saying there's three seasons but I thought I remember seeing four is there actually a fourth season of this show or did they only make three
Answering that question was actually part of the other video I was writing alongside this one. It's complicated, basically. There are actually only two seasons of Where Are You. What's called "Season 3" on the Blu-ray and DVD is actually Season 3 of The Scooby-Doo Show, and if you want Season 1 of The Scooby-Doo Show, you have to get the Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour set. Season 2 has no complete release at all with some episodes having no home video release whatsoever.
@@Scoobytopia Have you ever done a Q&A Video?
I had the spookiest tales vhs and i dont remember this episode on it, was it a dvd version exclusive?
It might have been! The DVD lists it as a bonus feature, and I don't have the VHS anymore to check if it's on there, though sometimes they still had the bonus features/episodes later on the VHS after the regular episodes. I'd wager the VHS would mention it more prominently if it was there though.
@Scoobytopia mine was one of the original vhs tapes, it didn't have any bonuses but some of the other tapes I had included some of the cartoon network shows like courage and the Powerpuff girls
Where's the Headless Horseman from the Goblin King movie?
I talked about him a lot in the goblin King movie video already, so I didn't feel the need to cover that ground again 😝
@@Scoobytopia Got it, just felt like a mention... sorry
It's fine 😌 I lumped him in with the mention of other times the character has been utilized in the franchise, since I even put him in the thumbnail of that video to give him a spotlight when I talked about him 😋
@@Scoobytopia That's another way from him to be remembered
You never did the Scooby-Doo vampire rock movie explained
That's going to be the next movie I eventually cover! I already have everything ready to do it. I was actually going to do it earlier this year, but had to postpone it.
What's your opinion on Wow Wow Wubbzy and Dora
I have not seen the other, but I watched frequent Dora at one point in my life and enjoyed it
@@Scoobytopia I'd suggest you should watch an episode of wow wow Wubbzy. It's a good show.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hey, I hope you don't let the hate get to you. Watching your videos has been giving me comfort and nostalgia while I'm struggling with mental health at the moment.
Thanks for uploading so much these past few days! 🫶
I'm just lucky I had already almost finished the majority of this video when I paused it to make the previous video. Otherwise I wouldn't have a miracle to try and negate the backlash with. And even then, I had to cut over 11 minutes from it to be able to release it today. I put the deleted segment unfinished on the Tumblr and in the description so it's not lost entirely, but it was unfortunate to compromise the video ultimately.
@@Scoobytopia Yeah... I'm sorry you have to deal with this. I just hope you know that you are appreciated and that those who are negative are really just close-minded hypocrites that don't know basic human deceny even if it slapped them in the face.
I once saw the Willowaw (giant owl ghost) ranked among the scariest Scooby Doo Monsters. Did anyone actually think it was scary?
I wouldn't call them scary myself but they're at least memorable
@@Scoobytopia Agreed.
Eyy
Ok
