'SLEEPY HOLLOW' Getting 4K UHD Release Just in Time For Halloween

Don’t lose your head over this news but Tim Burton’s retelling of SLEEPY HOLLOW is getting a proper 4K UHD release this September, just in time for those Halloween parties and fun we know you’re already planning.

Take in the terror like you never have before when the ghoulish story of Ichabod Crane rides into your home theater; after winning the Academy Award for Best Art Direction following its release in 1999, Sleepy Hollow’s 4K announcement has been a long time coming, and, while no specific Steelbook design has been revealed at this time, we expect that the cover will be an eye-catching piece of artwork and scare the head right off of us.

Adapted from Washington Irving’s spooky short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Burton added his unique vision to the classic, giving it an even darker twist. The feature stars Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane, a New York City police officer who’s sent upstate to the tiny town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a string of murders believed to have been committed by an entity known only as the Headless Horseman. The characters from Irving’s book are all there, although, like Depp’s Crane, many of them are given different directions and backstories. Starring alongside Depp as Ichabod’s love interest Katrina Van Tassel is Christina Ricci with an ensemble cast including Christopher Lee, Miranda Richardson, Christopher Walken, Ray Park, Michael Gambon, Casper Van Dien, Richard Griffiths, Jeffrey Jones, Michael Gough, Marc Pickering, and Ian McDiarmid.

Check out the trailer for Sleepy Hollow below and hold onto your head when Burton’s gothic horror rides into your collection on September 5.
