Self- Writeousness | Why the Legend of Sleepy Hollow is actually a Christmas story @SelfWriteousness | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 22 minutes ago.
Happy (Solstice, Christmas or holiday of your choice)! Ever hear the song that referencing "scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago"? Let's explore one such ghost story together in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow book review with a little compare and contrast between film adaptations, if for no other reason to show my high school lit teacher that I still no how to do it.

As promised, here are a few of the sources from which I gleaned information for this video:
abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Ichabod.html
historydaily.org/christmas-ghost-stories
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_story

Also, here are links to the movies available on YouTube, should you wish to view these clips in context:

Didn't cover this one because I found it kinda boring, but it had a lot of talented people connected to it:

And here are some fellows whose opinions I disagree (and some of whose information concerning the book is objectively wrong), but whose perspective is interesting / worth taking into account:

Also, Pae Veo. Go learn about the Romantics. Shoo!

I am something of an antisocial eccentric, but I am actively trying to be more of a blessing than a curse to my fellow writers.
