 Katrina Van Tassel E.A. Abbey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a priggish schoolmaster from Connecticut who is scared away from town by Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, his rival in love for the hand of eighteen-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, daughter of Baltus Van Tassel and a fifth-generation Dutch immigrant herself.
The legend featured in the story is that of the Headless Horseman or Galloping Hessian of the Hollow, the ghost of a Hessian trooper who lost his head to a canon-ball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War and who stalks Sleepy Hollow in search of a replacement head.

On his arrival on Halloween, Crane is greeted by the eccentric chief citizen Baltus Van Tassel, his welcoming daughter Katrina Van Tassel, and the restrained Lady Van Tassel, all of whom are present a party held in their manor to try and distract the villagers’ from the gruesome happenings in Sleepy Hollow.
Lady Van Tassel, apart from a few brief reaction shots with no dialogue, mainly lurks in the background for the first part of the film, and does not reappear until after Crane has been stabbed with the Horseman’s sword.
After chasing the Horseman on Crane and Katrina’s tails, she reappeared, only to be knocked out with a wooden log, and later taken by the Horseman into his grave, her hand left hovering from a crevice in the tree, sometime in December 1799, days before the turn of the century.

Born to Baltus Van Tassel and Aniela Krancz, in the little Dutch town, known as Sleepy Hollow, Katrina was raised not with a silver spoon in her mouth, but rather, with a wooden one.
Katrina was raised as any normal girl was, until she was four, when her life just seemed to fall apart.
Father was less and less to be seen, her mother had grown ill, and some time after, perished in a fire with the rest of the little cottage.

Ricci is excellent as Crane's witchcraft-inclined love Katrina van Tassel, but the true star of the film is the Headless Horseman himself, who is played in precapitated form by the freaky Christopher Walken and in headless state by the incredible Ray ("Darth Maul") Park.
Rounding out the cast are Casper van Dien as Brom von Brunt, Miranda Richardson as Lady van Tassel, and Marc Pickering, who is terrific in his debut as Young Masbeth.
The ever-cool Christina Ricci is wonderful as Katrina van Tassel, and Miranda Richardson is scary and brilliant as her wayward stepmother.

Wannabe lead singer of the flash-in-the-pan eighties pop group Katrina and the Waves, her claim to fame is based on one single Walking on Sunshine in which she destroys Sunshine utterly by transforming herself from a cluster of severe thunderstorms to a full-blown Category 5 hurricane and wiping out the Gulf Coast.
Katrina touched down across the city on Monday, August 29, 2005, plummeting it into oblivion and near apoc, apocpopo, apopclap, the word that begins with "a" that means we all die.

Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci), the wealthy daughter of the local farmer, will be Crane's love interest, though she already has a suitor in the brave but jealous Brom Van Brunt (Casper Van Dien).
In the movie the Horseman is real and the story becomes a vulgar mystery with an inept attempt to bring in an air of magical mystery; it almost completely ignores the romantic rivalry between the two suitors, which was at the heart of Irving's story.
The town fathers are: Reverend Steenwyck (Jones), Magistrate Philipse (Griffiths), Notary Hardenbrook (Gough), and include the now wealthiest resident of Sleepy Hollow, Baltus Van Tassel (Michael Gambon), the father of Katrina, married to her stepmother, Lady Van Tassel (Miranda).

Crane -- who keeps his painfully obvious observations in a beautifully illustrated and calligraphic book, a symbol of his yearning to mask his inadequacies with pure style -- doubts that the Headless Horseman is really a ghost and begins to suspect that the town elders are somehow involved.
Ricci suits Depp nicely as the inscrutable and luscious Katrina: she's both a quiet sexpot, capable of ruffling the rather straitlaced Ichabod's feathers, and a mysteriously calming presence.
(In one scene, she meets Ichabod in the wood, astride a white horse and draped in a white cloak embroidered with red roses; the sight of her is simply breathtaking.) Miranda Richardson as Lady Van Tassel, Katrina's stepmother, is crisply enjoyable, and her bald-eyebrowed look alone is a source of weird fascination.

Food imagery is also used in relation to Katrina Van Tassel: "She was a blooming lass of fresh eighteen; plump as a partridge; ripe and melting and rosy-cheeked as one of her father's peaches…" This vivid description provides an image of a beautiful young girl, and the food imagery fleshes out the image.

Perhaps there is a relationship between Brom Bones and the Headless Horseman, reflected in the similarities between the names.

 The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
This rantipole hero had for some time singled out the blooming Katrina for the object of his uncouth gallantries, and though his amorous toyings were something like the gentle caresses and endearments ofa bear, yet it was whispered that she did not altogether discourage his hopes.
Balt Van Tassel was an easy indulgent soul; he loved his daughter better even than his pipe, and, like a reasonable man housekeeping and manage her poultry; for, as she sagely observed, ducks and geese are foolish things, and must be looked after, but girls can take care of themselves.
It was toward evening that Ichabod arrived at the castle of the Heer Van Tassel, which he found thronged with the pride and flower of the adjacent country Old farmers, a spare leathern- faced race, in homespun coats and breeches, blue stockings, huge shoes, and magnificent pewter buckles.
