Germany was once one of the most successful film nations and even though those days are long gone, classics like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari or Nosferatu are still Hollywood, as was the case with Sleepy Hollow. According to American Cinematographer, Rick Heinrichs said the following about his inspiration:
Some of the designs are reminiscent of the old German expressionist films […], which have a very strong, graphic, two-dimensional look within a three-dimensional environment. Tim and I always enjoyed playing with that in the films we made together. That’s what Sleepy Hollow is about
The town of Sleepy Hollow becomes haunted by a murderous ghost, at least that’s what the villagers believe, because everyone knows the legend of the headless horseman. Three bodies have already been found without skulls and without blood. He’s traveling from New York Policeman Ichabod Crane, who has no interest in superstitionbut his faith in science will soon be put to the test.
