The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Dramatized)

By: Washington Irving

Narrated by: The St. Charles Players

There's a legend in this valley about a ghostly horseman that rides by night. There are many such legends and for schoolteacher Ichabod Crane the darkness of night holds a special fascination...and fear. For often there is truth in stories, especially ghost stories. And one fated night, Ichabod Crane will discover that the horseman of the legend is indeed... headless!

The St. Charles Players present a unique telling of this thrilling tale in exciting Radio Theatre style.

Performance dated

This is one of my favorite American stories. I enjoyed the performance as it reminded me of an old radio show. Multiple performers and sound effects were part of the performance. I would guess this performance to be at least 50 years old, which has its own bit of nostalgia.

Fantastic Halloween Treat

Don't lose your head...

I've heard many versions of the legend of sleepy hollow over the years, but this particular version with excellent actors, very atmospheric music, and a gale of ghost stories within the classic tale, perfectly captures the feel of the original Washington Ircing story. It comes highly recommended to any fan of the original tale or anyone that simply wants to feel their blood run cold.
