Episode 121: Chasing The Headless Horseman With J.W. Ocker

Matt and author J.W. Ocker — who watched 82 hours of every Headless Horseman adaptation ever made and themed his bathroom black during COVID — dig into J.W.'s new book Chasing the Headless Horseman. They cover the real geography of Sleepy Hollow vs. Tarrytown, why Washington Irving's original story was never a ghost story, the man with a pre-engraved tombstone already waiting in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Tim Burton's film and its secret horror origins, and why the Headless Horseman is the only monster that only works in the fall. Book out September 29th.
