The Legends of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle

Two dark comedies with ghost/mystery themes which are set around the period of the American War of Independence.

Ichabod Crane is the hero of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Peculiar-looking and socially inept, this schoolmaster is a joke to the people of Sleepy Hollow as he tries to win the love of the beautiful daughter of a rich farmer.
