Chatty Hollywood

In the small town of Sleepy Hollow, midwife Elizabeth Killian and her family of three are getting ready to sleep.

Although she was a midwife by profession, Elizabeth was actually still relatively young, and her son was less than ten years old.

She had dinner with her husband and was trying to put her son to bed when she suddenly felt the whole house shaking.

——The headless horseman in black clothes and armor pushed open the door and entered.

Next, there are bloody scenes that are common in many horror movies.

Although Elizabeth's husband put up a strong resistance, it was of no use against the Headless Horseman, who was already highly skilled in martial arts and could now be said to be immortal in his own right.

He was the first to be beheaded.

Elizabeth took her son into hiding, but this was also useless in front of the Headless Horseman who could sense the breath of life——

First Elizabeth, then her son, could not escape being stabbed in the head.

When Brom, a young man who was patrolling the town, arrived, Elizabeth's family was all killed.

This young man with a somewhat irritable personality is one of Katrina's suitors. He had previously pretended to be a headless horseman and played a trick on Ikabu Karan.

But now, facing the real Headless Horseman, Brom is very courageous.

He used his gun to knock off the headless horseman who wanted to ride away, and then rushed up to fight him.

Unfortunately, he was no match for the Headless Horseman, who was already highly skilled in martial arts, powerful, and now immortal.

During the short fight, Brom was restrained in every way and was about to lose his life.

At the critical moment, Ikabu Karan finally arrived.

——When he saw the Headless Horseman charging toward the town, Ichabo mounted his horse and chased after him. But limited to riding skills and horses, when he arrived, it was already a step too late.

Facing the powerful Headless Horseman, Ichabu had no choice but to resist with Brom. For a time, they even briefly gained the upper hand.

However, in the end, they failed.

Ichabu was stabbed by the Headless Horseman and fell unconscious.

Brom, on the other hand, was brutally cut in half.

"The Headless Horseman is so scary!"

While cooking herbs for the injured Ichabu Karan, Alexis, who transformed into Katrina, recalled the previous scene——

The moment the Headless Horseman rushed out of the tree hole, Alexis felt like time had frozen.

The feeling of death and destruction permeating his whole body was definitely not something that River Phoenix, who had just become the Headless Horseman, could compare to.

At that moment, Alexis was worried that the other party would rush over and give her a sword.

Fortunately, the other party still acted according to the original story of "Sleepy Hollow" and did not care about Alexis who was close at hand.

——Or Katrina.

However, after seeing the wounds on Ichabu's body, Alexis finally realized that this world of painted walls was far more real and terrifying than the movie "Sleepy Hollow".

"Is this real sense of horror really something that comes naturally from the minds of the audience?"

Alexis couldn't help but have doubts, and——

"The witchcraft here seems to really work!?"

After expertly cutting off a crow's foot and throwing it into the herbal pot, Alexis could clearly feel the changes in the medicine in the pot.

Moreover, she could also feel that there seemed to be a strange heat flowing in her body...

"So, this Katrina is really a witch?"

Richard Manson frowned as he watched Charlize Theron's character skillfully cast spells on the big screen.

As a film critic, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the plot.

——We already have the Headless Horseman, so more witches are nothing.

What's more, according to Ikabu Karan's previous memories, his mother seems to be a witch as well.

In fact, this setting perfectly explains Katrina's mysterious temperament.

Before, although Richard thought that aura made Charlize Theron's character look very beautiful,

But it's unreasonably beautiful.

——If Katrina is just an ordinary rich girl, what is so mysterious about her?

Now, there is a reasonable explanation.

But as a result, Richard Manson had a worry——

Charlize Theron, a good heroine, won’t end up becoming a boss behind the scenes because of the director’s mess, right?

After all, according to the analysis in the movie, the person who stole the Headless Horseman's head and secretly controlled him was probably someone who knew witchcraft.

And now, the heroine Katrina has revealed the fact that she really knows witchcraft.

For a while, the film critic who praised acting was a little confused.

In contrast, fellow film critic Kenneth Turan likes the possibility of such a reversal.

No way, in commercial movies, every additional twist means that the logical complexity of the story will deepen.

Although there is the possibility of too many twists and turns, making the plot too complicated and confusing. But in the final analysis, Kenneth Turan, who appreciates commercial films, is still a film critic.

He prefers complex and in-depth plots.

*********

Of course, for most viewers, they are unaware of the problems that may arise from changes in Katrina's character setting.

They just admired the beautiful couple Ikabu and Katrina talking to each other in front of the hospital bed after the crisis.

Especially Ikabu, who finally told the story of his childhood that was buried deep in his memory——

His mother was also a witch, but after being discovered by the priest, she was executed directly.

What's even more frustrating is that the priest who executed his mother was his father.

——This is why Ikabu neither believes in magic nor God.

Logic was all he had left to believe.

However, in Sleepy Hollow, his logic was severely tested again.

Fortunately, although Ikabu is not very courageous, he does have an indomitable character.

After recovering from his injuries, he decisively embarked on the road of investigating the case again and discovered important clues——

A will of Van Galle Sr. and a marriage certificate.

Proof of his marriage to the widow Winship, who had also been killed.

In other words, the child in the belly of the widow Winship should be the old Van Galle's.

——This discovery suddenly perfected Ikabu’s logical chain.

In his opinion, this was obviously a serial murder case created to seize inheritance.

"Although the murderer was a magical thing like the Headless Horseman, in essence, if it is regarded as a murder weapon, then the motive of the case is just seeking money and killing people."

As an FBI agent, Kate came to the same conclusion as Ichabu on the big screen——

Priests perform weddings, doctors care for pregnant women, magistrates provide legal protection, and notaries certify.

After the Vangarle father and son, the widow Winship and the child in her belly are all dead, as long as these four most important witnesses are killed, the property of the Vangarle family, as the richest people in Sleepy Hollow, will inevitably be divided among their relatives. rather than Widow Winship's kin.

That is to say——

The Fantaso family, or Katrina's father, has become the biggest suspect at present.

PS1: The "Halloween" series continues with one more episode. PS2: There are indeed some logical reasoning elements in the plot of the movie "Sleepy Hollow", and this is one of them.
