This night, Abbie and Ichabod prepare to battle the Headless Horseman, for better or for worse. But that’s not all — the evening’s frivolities also include Ichabod having his heart broken about Thomas Jefferson.

Previously on Sleepy Hollow: The Lesser Key of Solomon.
This week’s episode is not only language history come alive, it’s also a huge step forward in Abbie and Ichabod’s friendship.
Sleepy Hollow: a diverse cast makes for diverse Gothic.

BF: The show does a good job of inverting the theme that minorities die first in horror. Was that on purpose?
HK: It was not a conscious effort, but it was a conscious effort to have a diverse cast just to represent our world. I don’t think it’s realistic for the whole cast to be white. I also think when you are developing a show and casting it mostly Caucasian and you get down to the bad guy and the network is like, “You have to have some diversity,” then all of the sudden…that’s why the person of color is always killed. And because we have so much diversity in our cast and we’ve had the freedom to cast our villains and victims however we want, so we can kill as many white people as we want.
Heather Kadin, producer of Sleepy Hollow, in an interview with BuzzFeed (source).
The casting on this show is amazing, and having a diverse cast from the get-go is the only way to actually represent properly and accurately and really push the envelope in terms of diversity, especially in the Gothic/Horror genre where the concept of the Other is such a huge component of the narrative.

This is the tale of the two amazing sisters and their pet revolutionary soldier, who occasionally acts as a mediator. Or: a study in Ichabod Crane’s body language.

Previously on Sleepy Hollow: Blood Moon.
Now this episode packed a lot more of a punch! After last week’s ever so slightly underwhelming effort (not that there’s anything wrong with gory filler), this is great.
Sleepy Hollow (FOX): and so it begins
Pilot & Blood Moon
Based on the 1820 short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving, this is a modern re-telling of the tale, featuring a 280-year-old Oxford professor, a badass woman of colour police lieutenant, and a headless asshole on a horse, also known as DEATH.
I already really liked the pilot, but as with every pilot, and as with every comically styled Gothic horror story, things can go both ways even after a cracking premiere episode. So I waited for the second ep to make my choice, and, well, here we all are. Follow me to Pocantico Grove under the cut. Continue reading →
