[Music]

[Music]

thank you ah yes nothing better than taking

wishbone for a nice long walk on a Brisk autumn day even if Wishbone has to do it himself

whoa excuse me [Music]

hello Oakdale it's late October and everything seems just a little different

my nose on it something strange is in the air

something chilling what could it be

leaves are learning to dance sheets are learning to fly

pumpkins are suddenly growing faces [Music]

no doubt about it there is something in the air something that makes people do

the strangest things something

[Music]

[Music]

Wishbone where did you come from Ellen new recipe oh Wishbone where have

you been the very first day of practice and you weren't there it's bad luck especially today bad luck

me do you smell that what's so important about Wishbone being at practice he

always comes to practice you should have been there it's a bad sign I don't want to jinx the

season oh something definitely reeks in this vicinity

your father was the same way he was so superstitious about the start of

basketball season I remember one time when what what is that smell

what smell I think I found the culprit Allen Joe there's something in your shoe

Joe what is that sorry Mom through my practice sucks my lucky ones ew didn't I

bury these last year like I think it's a little much Joe um but since they are so special why

don't you take them off and put them in a special place outside the house I will

but right now I need to pick out a new basketball you do yeah we've already started practice mom

I can't start a new season without a new ball it's bad luck of course I forgot oh

I've still got my birthday money besides I want to check out the new sporting goods store in town come on Wishbone but Joe she could drop

another cookie at any moment Joe have you decided if you're going trick-or-treating tonight uh treating Oh

I thought we'd go for the treats I don't think so I'll probably just stay home come on Wishbone

cookies okay throw a long one Joe

you're right Joe this is as much fun as eating cookies yeah almost

yeah I got it I got it I got it

[Music] Wishbone wait no haha I have you now Mr

ball

oh hello what have we here

spawned that's a cat mom boy [Music]

where's the wishbone you didn't see where that cat went did you Joe come on let's get out of here I

don't like this place

you're right Joe a place like this can play tricks on your mind some places can do that they cast a spell over you a

spell like the one that hung over a place called Sleepy Hollow way back in 1819 American Author

Washington Irving wrote a short story called The Legend of Sleepy Hollow the story was set in the quiet Hills

along the Hudson River not long after the American Revolution those who live there agreed that anyone

who lingered in that drowsy dreamy Glenn called Sleepy Hollow would inhale the witching influence of the air and begin

to hear strange sounds and see frightful apparitions the most famous of these apparitions was

the Ghost of a soldier whose head was taken off by a cannonball during the Revolutionary w*r

Legend has it that the spirit of this Headless Horseman rides forth each night in search of his head

the local residents took great pleasure in these stories but none took greater pleasure than the local school teacher

one Ichabod Crane

now class it is very important to know the difference between knowledge and

useless information oh if only young Jebediah had known that

after you break a mirror you must walk in a circle to reverse your bad luck clockwise manual not to be confused with

a black cat crossing your path then you must Circle counterclockwise like this oh twice on Sunday

huh yes Andrew excuse me Mr Crane the mother wanted to

know if you could come over and finish the story about the secret of the full moon she made your favorite apple pie

apple pie you say wait of course I'll be that Andrew your mother's apple pie is

the absolute finest in the county I recall one Sunday which oh

yes uh where are we another ice front everyone who here

knows why we ring a bell to begin each day the yes Elizabeth

to call us into the classroom no no not at all we ring the bell to drive away

demons and spirits why do you think I wear this Bell on my vest

[Applause] oh [Applause]

know one guy who's appetite for the supernatural was even greater than his appetite for food

[Music] don't hurt me admire you're a jumpy

fellow what oh yes how do you do my name is Ichabod Crane

school teacher I'm Katrina Van Tassel then that's what you say of the Van

Tassel Farm why yes is that really a big farm yes I mean the really really really

big farm yes that's it I was just I'm delighted to meet you Miss Van Tassel

why thank you we're so lucky to have such a learned

and sophisticated gentleman as you in our midst what are you reading there Mr Crane ah

yes this is Mather's book of Witchcraft in New England most fascinating

it must be quite exciting oh yes it is in fact I would love to tell you all about it

oh people oh yeah was that my stomach I'm a bit hungry why please come have

dinner with us Mr Crane and you can tell me on the way mine is fantaso what a marvelous idea

shall we go

and of course I picked up the occasional ghost study before I settled here in

Sleepy Hollow oh are we here this is quite a place you have here

oh yes look at all the food one could grow quite comfortable in an

environment such as this [Music]

but that was such a fine Feast Katrina may I call you Katrina

of course Mr Crane your family has been very lucky an estate to this size hardly seems

possible in such a frightful Frontier is this frightful absolutely my Studies

surprised at the supernatural exhibitions I've witnessed please tell me more I would be delighted to

Joe the scavenger hunt will be fun you'll be with your friends Samantha's counting on you

you should go Halloween's always been unlucky for me we all wonder about our luck from time to time

if your father wondered about his every time his players started missing free throws but he never gave up on them he wanted

them to play through it there's no way you can predict what's going to happen tonight or on any other

given day nobody can if you expect the worst though

you just might find it I'm pretty sure you have a lot more fun tonight if you expect the best

I guess so [Music] come on buddy we're gonna have a great

time and don't worry I'll keep all those black cats away from you

[Music]

this is what they really look amazing ladies and gentlemen boys and

girls maidens and monsters are you ready for the Oakdale Sports and games first annual scavenger

hear the rules there are five teams each team will receive one of these

and one of these I can't see what is it oh what a time to be short an H1 are

clues that will lead you to your first Challenge and once there you must solve a puzzle to move ahead your chances to

advance will get tougher with each challenge until only two teams remain take the most chilling challenge of all

and the prize a 100 gift certificate at Oakdale Sports and games

not everyone can win but don't worry there'll be plenty of consolation prizes now if the team captains would raise

their hands we'll pass out the first clue

[Music] now good luck and be careful

you never know what kind of ghoulish surprises you'll find On A Night Like This

[Music] [Applause] I feel lucky

don't be surprised when I win that gift certificate

wow such competition but only one prize

Ichabod Crane sought only one prize as well her name was Katrina Van tassels

however he was not alone in his quest every young man in the valley wanted to impress her

[Music] um

hey go to the back I was here first oh oh I'm sorry dear boy would you like me

to tell Katrina that she cannot have her singing lessons today she'll be most disappointed singing lessons singing

lessons sorry [Music]

oh good evening dear Katrina I am terribly sorry to interrupt but it is

time for your singing lessons oh of course

we'll see what Brom bones thinks about your singing lesson

oh hello Brahm oh Katrina I thought I might give you the honor of

my company tonight it's very sweet of you Brahm maybe a Moonlight ride by the Brook

excuse me but I don't believe that would be wise well if it isn't Mr Ichabod Crane and

tell me why you think that would be so unwise oh Katrina wouldn't be safe on

such a night as this I'll protect her you're protector only a

man of knowledge not of strength it could protect her on this Enchanted night I mean first of all you offer her

a bouquet of foxglove a gesture bound to bring bad luck but end after that curse

you want to take her for a ride or on a black horse now see here a black horse tonight

oh it would seem that you have no concern for her safety whatsoever but

you're probably just bringing her bad luck standing on her property to come Katrina let us finish your singing

lessons [Music]

evening My Schoolhouse was turned completely topsy-turvy by a poltergeist

that itself could foretell more extraordinary apparitions to come perhaps even the Headless Horseman I'm

tired of all of these frightful Tales won't you come Dance with Me Ichabod just a moment my dear what are your

thoughts Bram it's a bunch of nonsense if you ask me I mean

can do no more Summer Breeze what how do you

The Headless Horseman nearly had him rawa told me that the Horseman chased

him all the way to the old church Bridge ah brower's a drunk

it surprises me that the man of your stature cannot see the significance of

these signs tell me more of brower's story why as soon as he crossed the bridge

the horsemen disappeared ah yes we must learn more

about this bridge it it must hold some significance you call yourself an educated man

sitting around telling fairy tales I assure you that it is very important

to learn so one can take actions I'm not here for superstitious

nonsense I'm here for the party [Music]

while the other guests ate drank and danced Ichabod delighted in spooky

stories and wild speculations for hours long into the night

[Music]

all right folks it's time for you to go to your own homes oh dear look how late

all yes sir it was your lucky day must be the socks it must be

[Music] we shall meet again Kitty

what how does he do that [Music]

[Music] thank you a drowsy dreamy influence seems to hang

over the land and to pervade the very atmosphere some say the place was Bewitched Washington Irving used these

words to describe the setting of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to recreate this mysterious feeling on film we called on

the members of our lighting team they used some clever tricks a lot of equipment and a lot of lights

here's a 12 kilowatt light also called the 12K here's a baby and a baby baby and a tweenie just to

name a few the people who operate these lights are called electricians and the top dog electrician is called the gaffer

it's a really neat feeling to be on a dark set when there are no lights and to turn on that first light the gaffer and

his lighting crew set up the lights lay miles of cable and hook everything up to a distribution inbox which sends

electricity to wherever we want it then the crew places the lights and add colored filters and gels for an eerie

look

let's play catch the kitty oh wait which phone

raising the grip crew is a very important part of the lighting team the top dog grip is called the key grip he

and his crew add patterns to change the way the light falls and to make shadows on Sleepy Hollow we created our own

Moonlight by putting a 12 000 watt light up about 80 feet in the air in a condor

and then to break up that light we took camouflaged net put them up in a scissor lift about 40 feet in the air to move

those around to make these patterns on the front of the house we're just going to dapple the Murphy house and we're

going to do lightning the script indicated a lot of lightning so we rented a special light called a lightning strikes it's easy you plug it

in and push a button

so with a combination of Lights shadows and some special equipment we can make a bewitching atmosphere shine your light

on a good mystery check one out at your local library foreign

[Music]

[Applause] [Music]
