He uses more scientific processes to examine the murders. Ichabod is a little awkward, which is pretty much the only similarity to the book. Instead of an awkward school teacher, he is a constable, who comes to Sleepy Hollow to solve the murders committed by the Headless Horseman. First, we have Ichabod Crane, played by none other than, Johnny Depp. I know, the original story is about an awkward school teacher who runs into a headless horseman, but Tim Burton managed to take it to a whole other level. It is very dark, gloomy and full of unrealistic characters. This may be a shocker but it is very …Tim Burton-y. This movie adaptation is directed by Tim Burton. ![]() There are so many adaptations, so obviously, I couldn’t talk about just one adaptation.
