et us get this over with right away. I do not think Johnny Depp was the right person for playing Ichabod Crane.

The horseman does tend to dominate much of this story as the original does. I don't feel there was much to the original fable of the Headless Horseman so pretty much any take you do on it seems fine: though maybe an Easter Bunny version would…
