Anecdotes
Johnny Depp adopted Goldeneye, the horse that played Gunpowder, Ichabod Crane's horse in this film, when he heard it was going to be put down.

Gaffes
Ichabod Crane performed autopsies on cadavers and these bleed in spurts. When a person dies, all the blood inside the body quickly coagulates.

Citations
Ichabod Crane: Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue.

Crédits fous
The opening credits - shown over Ichabod's travel to Sleepy Hollow - interact with the landscape: if Ichabod's coach is near a river, the words are reflected on the surface of the water; if he's in a forest the letters drift away like dead leaves, and so on.

Versions alternatives
The Indian version has been censored by the Censor Board of India to delete...
visuals of a witch lady cutting the neck of a bat,
visuals of a girl cutting the legs of a crow,
visuals of blood coming out of the armour of the constable's mother in the dream sequence were reduced by 50% (Length Retained: 3.00 ft)
and the visuals of the killing of the girl's father with a wooden pole deleted the blood coming out and were reduced to a flash (Length Retained: 4.00 ft).
After cuts were made, the Censor Board rated the film 'A' (adults) in mid 2000 two months before its theatrical release. It was re-rated U/A (unrestricted + adult supervision) for television but no information is found as to whether or not the cut 'A' version was re-rated or further cuts were made for re-rating.

Gothic masterpiece

Drawing from his Gothic roots (Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas) Burton has created a truly chilling horrific fantasy that keeps you guessing at every turn. The use of special effects is seemless and yet again, as in his other films, Burton excels at creating a whole look and feeling for the piece. He has managed to re-work the classic horror genre staying true to his own highly personal style and catering to post- Wes Craven cinema audiences' cynicism without taking itself too seriously a la Blair Witch. It is so refreshing to see the work of an art-house genius who hasn't let a big hollywood budget get to his head. Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci give charming performances as ever, as do rest of the assembled anglo-Brit. star-studded cast. They all look like they had a ball, as will you!
