Sleepy Hollow

The story is different from the story I vaguely remember: Johnny Depp plays Ichabod Crane in this Tim Burton movie. Ichabod is fairer than the one in the storybooks, a NYC constable in the late 18th century out to prove that the tools of science can dispel the supernatural headless horseman murders. He discovers that the horseman is indeed called into being by manner of witchcraft, and that the people dying are connected in some way (it involves assets). Amusing to watch, and the humor helps make it not all that scary.
