The Curse of Sleepy Hollow: The Blood Oath of Washington Irving

Return to the valley with a new horror short film inspired by the legend of Sleepy Hollow. Experience the spooky supernatural elements that haunt the hollow, complete with halloween ambience and headless horseman song. Be prepared for scary stories and eerie suspense. Fog rolls through the valley of Sleepy Hollow, smothering light, sound, and sanity. What began as a quiet ride for a young Washington Irving becomes a night of terror that will echo through generations. When the Headless Horseman rises from the mist — his black steed breathing fire, his blade gleaming like frozen moonlight — blood, faith, and an ancient curse collide inside the walls of the Old Dutch Church.

This cinematic retelling reveals the untold origin of the legend — how Washington Irving himself became bound to the Horseman by blood and coin, sealing a dark oath that would curse his bloodline for centuries. As priests fall and the church trembles under the weight of the supernatural, Irving strikes a desperate bargain that traps the Rider beneath the soil… but at a terrible price.

Generations later, belief fades, oaths weaken, and the Hollow stirs again. Lost coins. Broken promises. A legend reborn.
