The Hollow
(0.00 / 0 votes)This is a ghost story.
But this ghost story is | different from all the others.
It's different, | because this one is all true.
I know because I was there.
It all happened right here, | in this very town.
Across the bridge, | over by the old graveyard.
It was All Hollow's Eve.
Or what people like to call | Halloween.
It all happened down there...
in the hollow.
Now on this particular evening | there's a party going on...
at the home of a wealthy man | named Baltus Van Tassel.
The town's folk came | from all over to celebrate.
was a new school master, | Ichabod Crane.
This blows.
Knock it off! | I'm trying to hear this.
It's kinda creepy, | if you think about it.
It's kinda lame, | if you think about it.
Some people say that | he often resembled...
a crane while walking | through town.
- Karen, let's go. | - You can go, but I'm staying.
Finally able to court the beautiful | young daughter of its host...
Katrina Van Tassel.
Guys, can't we do this | tomorrow night?
Tomorrow night is the hayride.
Besides, you said you wanted a | scare, right? I'll give you one.
What, are you scared?
It's not that. It's wrong to jump | on someone's grave.
And there's that | creep groundskeeper guy.
She's got a point there.
Remember when we got stuck | in there, in third grade?
He was just trying to scare us.
The dude chased us with an ax. | Who does that?
I'll tell you what. | We go up...
put our hand in, | and we'll call it a night.
What's the big deal | with all of this anyways?
The big deal is that you, Karen | and everybody else around here...
take the legacy of this town | for granted.
You act like it's just | another place in the map.
You're drunk.
But it's not just | another place in the map.
This is the birth place...
of the most famous ghost story | that ever was.
You're hurting me.
This should be the end-all, | be-all of Halloween.
But what do we got | to show for it?
A junior boy storyteller...
and a hooky hayride.
Scott, could you please get | this gorilla off me?
Hey, let her go man.
I'll tell you what.
All it'd take is one bad | Halloween.
going to a graveyard...
and only one comes back.
then they would know what | kind of town we live in.
Go stick you hand then.
What?
You heard me. | You go do it.
Show us how it's done.
That's the spirit.
See? Nothing.
Oh my God! | Oh God, please help me!
Jackass!
It's fun. Where are you going? | It was just a joke.
Where are you going?
You guys be careful out there. | And remember...
- if you see the horseman... | - Make through the bridge.
And as Ichabod recalls | the horrible warning...
he kicked, whipped and yelled | at his horse...
urging it to go faster.
The headless horseman | was just behind him.
Sparks flew from the hooves | of the rider's unholy steed.
and through the trees he could see | the bridge.
Ichabod and his horse dashed | across the bridge.
The headless horseman | just behind him.
Ichabod chanced to look back...
expecting to see | the fearful apparition gone.
But instead...
he saw the horseman | stand up in his stirrups...
cough back his arm that held | the rider's bloody head...
with gore and guts still | clinging to the skull...
and he fired the hideous missile.
And that was the last that anyone | ever saw of the new schoolmaster.
Some say that Ichabod actually | escaped from the horseman.
And left Sleepy Hollow to become | a lawyer in New York.
Not far from here.
While others say that it's Brom | who chased him out of town...
