TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

For its original network broadcast, Steve Allen and Gary Coleman performed hosting duties, appearing in skits at the commercial breaks.

This film adaptation ends with Ichabod arriving at Katrina's house rather than having his mysterious disappearance like in Washington Irving's original novel. The Headless Horseman rides back into the dark forest afterwards.

Brom Bones did not have a close companion named Frederic Dutcher in the original novel, but he did have a gang who assisted him in playing on tricks on Ichabod throughout the town.

In the book, the battle in which the Hessian soldier lost his head is not named. In this version, Ichabod Crane states that he lost his head in The Battle of Yonkers.

A Squire is man of high social standing who owns and lives on an estate in a rural area, especially the chief landowner in such an area.

Popular Dialogues

"Brom Bones: Squire, I don't take it lightly seeing the schoolmaster hanging around Katrina. I thought you and me had an agreement. Squire Van Tassel: I agreed that you could court my Katrina with matrimonial intentions, but that was three years ago, Brom Bones. Brom Bones: Well Squire, marriage ain't nothing for a man to hurry into. Squire Van Tassel: And for three years I'm still not a grandfather!"

"Vanderhoof: Now hold on a minute, Mister unmarried school master. That was the truth those kids told you 'bout them Indian spirits. Ichabod Crane: Mr. Vanderhoof, Indian ghosts, Headless Horsemen? Vanderhoof: Bite down your tongue! Don't you ever go laughing at the Headless Horseman. Ichabod Crane: [looks up at the owl] You expect me to believe that that owl is the ghost of an Indian? Vanderhoof: Chief Running Buffalo."
