The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane

by John Quidor

[stormiebreaks]

After crossing the Horseman’s Bridge (well… one of them anyway) in the Old Dutch Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, I couldn’t pass up the chance to get a shot of the Mystery Twins in such a legendary place.

I just wish the place was open at night so I could take some moodier shots…

Northern Tarrytown, New York

Kitty Van Tassel is the daughter of the wealthiest mobster in Northern Tarrytown--part of the area known as Sleepy Hollow. Among the bachelors pursuing the dainty flapper (and her inheritance) are rumrunner Brom Bones, and crooked city treasurer Ichabod Crane. The mafia princess enjoys being a spectator as the rivalry between the two men escalates, peaking on All Hallows Eve...

Halloween parties are becoming a new tradition in the '20s, and Kitty's father hosts the biggest Halloween jamboree in Tarrytown, serving illegal booze in pumpkin kegs. But in the 1920s, Halloween is more about the "tricks" than the "treats." Costumes, which are usually homemade, focus on concealing one's face for masquerade shenanigans and pranks, the latter of which get pretty extreme. Brom hurls a row of cabbages into Ichabod's head; Ichabod trips Brom with a rope across a garden bridge, while he's carrying a large load of liquor; and Brom steals a body from the local morgue for his final prank; none of which is unheard of for Halloween in the Roaring Twenties.

After a few hours of swing dancing and drinking, Brom entertains the party with the local legend of the Headless Horseman. The inebriated Ichabod guzzles it right up, which Kitty finds hilarious. Later that night, after the party has ended, citizens of Tarrytown hear a commotion from the forest. Ichabod screams bloody murder. His bowler hat is found the next morning, floating in the river; it's the only trace of Ichabod Crane anyone ever finds. The case eventually goes cold.

Kitty marries Brom soon after, and they get busy making strapping boys and firey girls. Over 70 years later, in 1996, Great-Grandma Kitty witnesses Northern Tarrytown officially take the moniker of Sleepy Hollow.

Ichabod Crane's disappearance has never been solved.

AN: VIsilually differentiating Katrina Van Tassel from Cinderella and Charlotte La Bouffe is more or less impossible. But at least her movie's Halloween theme offered an excuse to keep elements of her Colonial outfit, which is about the only way for even the most hard-core Dosney fans to tell who she is.

Anyway, if you want a true fright, look up Halloween costumes in the 1920s.

Headless Horseman is a analogy on history:

no matter what he will never die and will always continue to haunt those still alive!

American Lives: Sleepy Hollow Cemetery

When Washington Irving published 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' in 1820, he forever blessed - or cursed - the town of Sleepy Hollow, turning a modest cemetery in the Hudson Valley into a tourist attraction.
