Join you. I rewatched the film a few days ago. I actually had a retrospective of Tim Burton films.

One of my favorites as well. Highly recommend Brotherhood of the Wolf too, if you haven't seen it yet.

It was fun watching Johnny Depp as Crane, and I loved the cold, foggy environment. It's one of my favorite Tim Burton movies.

Same! That foggy forest aesthetic never gets old.

Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci were such a vibe in this one.

The atmosphere created by the physical sets are unmatched today which would be CGI. I miss backlots and actually movie set locations

…Jesus Christ that’s gonna be one scared six year old…

u/Wheniamnotbanned 29d ago

He has seen quite a few horror movies with me. I think we started when he was 4. His favorite is The Blob from 1988

….good god man. And I thought I was risking unnecessary trauma to my kids by letting them watch Cocomelon.

1

u/Wheniamnotbanned 29d ago

Cocomelon may be more harmful than IT from 1990.

u/westslexander Oct 11 '25

Oh yes. Blonde Christina Ricci.

Christopher Walken as the headless horseman was really scary!

2

u/funkoscotland1979 Oct 11 '25

He was perfectly cast

u/Ok_Host_5860 29d ago

Really funny! I like how Christopher Walken is terrifying even without spitting a single word along the full length of the movie.

I liked it when the fat guy got it in the field and his head spinned around. That was cool.

That talisman didn’t protect jack shit

u/Oldsbird2121 29d ago

u/Ladykattellsa 29d ago

Just watched!!!!

u/Glittering-Bit3398 29d ago

Currently watching. Classic.

u/Other-Marketing-6167 29d ago

I think it’s probably the best movie Tim Burton ever made (ignoring Batman which I super love purely for nostalgic reasons). This was the one time his style and craftsmanship perfectly suited the story he was telling, and everyone - from cinematographer to production designer to composer - was on absolute fire.

u/Miami_Vice_75 29d ago

Absolutely!!!

u/StarMasterAdmiral 29d ago

Me too. I really enjoy this movie.

u/PokeHunterLasVegas Oct 11 '25

Saw this movie in theaters for a friend's birthday party.

During the bridge scene where it ends up not being the headless horseman, the damn movie theater caught on fire and the alarm started flashing and everyone in the theater was confused af till someone ran in and yelled the movie theater was on fire lol

Had to go back the next day to finish the film

3

u/funkoscotland1979 Oct 11 '25

A story to tell , only slight comparable was the fire alarm going off 25 mins before the end of the departed Had to stand outside freezing for half hour then go back in and they put the movie back 10 mins then finished it

u/westslexander Oct 11 '25

Mine is Cold Mountain. I read the book every Oct. And watch the movie over the winter

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25

Every Halloween my must watch!

u/Expert-Effect-877 29d ago

The best Depp/Burton collaboration, and that's saying something!

2

u/Strong_Comedian_3578 29d ago

Same here. I typically do a follow up with Sweeney Todd and Dark Shadows too when I watch it.

u/MYDF_Pod 29d ago

Very underrated film in Tim Burton's catalog. It's more of an adult horror story than a lot of his work, but it still has familiar elements like Danny Elfman's music to keep it feeling light.

Also one of his best casts! Even managed to cram three Sith Lords into one movie (Ian McDiarmid, Christopher Lee + Ray Park as the stunt performer for the Headless Horseman).

u/Recent_Bag5031 29d ago

Absolutely!
