In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," Ichabod Crane is an opportunistic school master who sees a jackpot if he can woo and marry Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of the local squire. Unfortunately, Katrina already has a suitor, the ill tempered Brom Bones, who sets out to destroy the competition once and for all. Ichabod, suspicious by nature is regaled with stories of a headless horseman who haunts the paths of Sleepy Hollow. One night, on his way home from Katrina's house, Ichabod is allegedly attacked and chased by the Headless Horseman, never to be seen again.

In My Opinion, Sleepy Hollow Is Amazing! It's Got A Great Plot, A Great Theme, It's Fun, And It's Directed By Tim Burton! And It's A Great Film For All Us Depp Lovers Out There..
I would say that it has an eerie or creepy mood.
