Director Tim burton included scenes in homage to Disney's animated version of the Sleepy Hollow tale (featured in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)). These include the scene in which Ichabod কপিকল crosses the covered bridge and hears the frogs underneath croaking "Ichabod" and "Headless Horseman," the following chase sequence wherein Ichabod is run down and unhorsed, apparently দ্বারা the Horseman, and the moment, in the climactic chase-scene, in which Ichabod runs into a বৃক্ষ limb, and, thrown through the air, ends up landing on the Horseman's horse backwards.
Christopher Walken, who plays the Headless Horseman, played a schoolteacher in The Dead Zone (1983), in the beginning of which he tells his class to read "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
The town Sleepy Hollow was created from the ground up in three months. At the time of filming, it was the largest set built in England and was put up in record time. The last set that held this record was built for Billy Elliot (2000).
The Western Wood was built on a sound-stage so everything, the weather, light, could be controlled.
The Windmill was too large to be constructed on a sound-stage because it was over five stories high. The sails alone weighed over 2 tons.
The final chase sequence on the coach in the Western Wood took three weeks to film.
The Horseman's horse is named Daredevil, the same name of Brom Bones' (Brom অগ্রদূত Brunt's) horse in Irving's original short story; the horse was purchased in Seville, Spain.
Christopher Walken's character has no speaking lines, aside from a couple of "HAA"s to his horse and "shhhh."

The film includes numerous visual references to Bava's films, including a scene in which Ichabod dreams of seeing his mother's spike-pierced face after his father killed her--an image drawn from Bava's La maschera del demonio (1960) ("Black Sunday," a film burton was once slated to remake).
