A main character in this film is The Hessian (Headless) Horseman. He was ghostly looking. He had pale skin, dark eyes, pale lips, razor sharped pointed teeth, and he looked ferocious. In the beginning Baltus Van Tassel tells Ichabod Crane about the story of The Hessian Horseman’s death. In this scene, he was a mercenary sent by German princes during the Revolutionary War. During the war, he chops of the enemies head. The way he chopped the heads looked scary. The Hessian’s horse, Daredevil, was shot down in the Western Woods and The Horseman’s head was chopped off with his own sword. His body was buried in the Western Woods. In the film he revives from the Tree of Death without a head, he looks scary and dangerous because he always carries weapons, such as an axe and sword. He killed more than five people in the film. He chops off the head of the people when they are alive and I could not watch those scenes because they were terrific. The head rolling on the ground with the eyes opened and the way the head was taken, pierces the head with the sword, looked creepy. Another eerie character I saw in this film was the sister of Lady Mary Van Tassel. She is a witch, with pale skin, white hair, black attire and a white transparent cloth covering her head. The way she talks sounds creepy. When she tells Ichabod that she wants …show more content…

When Ichabod started chopping the tree, I felt fear because I thought something was going to happen, which lead to the discovery of decapitated heads. I was unexpected to see those heads. The decapitated heads looked so gross that I could not watch. I thought for a moment from where those head came to be in the tree and later in the scene when The Headless Horseman came out from the tree, I realized that the chopped heads were put in the tree by The Headless Horseman. Another incident was when The Headless Horseman came into the midwife Killian’s home and chopped off his head with an axe. He also killed his wife, Beth Killian by chopping off her head, which rolled down the floor where their kid was hiding beneath it. During this scene, I was afraid by seeing The Headless Horseman chopping off the head. After a while the Horseman starts to leave. At this time I thought the horseman would not find the kid and he would be alive, but suddenly the horseman turns back and chops the wooden floor where
