Chris Sanders On ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’

  By Ju-osh M. • October 24, 2014 ,

qwwa5a0m“Everything about The Legend of Sleepy Hollow I consider to be perfect. The fall colors, the narration by Bing Crosby, the disarmingly cute opening and the scary end. Brom Bones’ song at the Van Tassels’ Halloween party always make me feel like I was there amongst the frightened guests. And the execution of Ichabod’s final, lonely ride through the deep woods and hidden graveyards of his township is a masterpiece of tension, humor, and sudden terror.”

Director Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, The Croods) discusses his love for Walt Disney’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and its female lead, Katrina Van Tassel.

Comic Book Crafts: Jack-O-Lanterns

I’ve never been all that good at pumpkin carving. I think it’s cuz I adored Return To Oz as a kid, and now every time I stick a knife into one of those bulbous, orange orbs, I feel like I’m playing Jeffrey Dahmer to the pumpkin’s Jack Pumpkinhead.

Sliding my hand through the small, jagged hole at the top…pulling out those large chunks of stringy, slimy, seedy goo…hearing that wet, squishing sound as it seeps through my fingers, landing with a pudding-like PLOP! on the table…

It can be a little unsettling is all I’m saying.
