The Night of the Headless Horseman is a computer animated one-hour TV special that aired on Fox on October 28, 1999. It was a retelling of Washington Irving's 1820 short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". It told the story the same way, but at the end, it is revealed that Brom actually made a deal with the Headless Horseman to take his place to get Ichabod out of the way.
