When the dreaded Headless Horseman returns to modern-era Sleepy Hollow in hopes of collecting some craniums, it's up to a teen who just happens to be a direct descendent of Ichabod Crane to put a stop to the headless happenings in this terrifying tale from director
Kyle Newman. High school senior Ian Cranston (
Kevin Zegers) is a newcomer to the town of Sleepy Hollow, and when Ian sets his sights on pretty cheerleader Karen (
Kaley Cuoco) he soon incurs the wrath of her boyfriend, arrogant star quarterback Brody (
Nick Carter). As Halloween approaches and Ian has a strange encounter with local gravedigger Clause (
Stacy Keach), the tales of the Headless Horseman take an ominous slant as a pair of students go missing and Ian is told that he is a direct descended of the legendary Ichabod Crane. When the real Headless Horseman makes a shocking appearance at the annual Halloween hayride, Ian discovers that he is the only hope to save his father Carl (
Judge Reinhold) from a grim fate at the hands of the vengeful entity. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
