The Headless Horseman: It’s Alive….

Hoping to leverage the success of the wildly popular Great Jack o’ Lantern Blaze (see our 2007 article,  4000 Things to do with a Pumpkin ) in Sleepy Hollow, Historic Hudson Valley

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

has added a new Halloween-inspired attraction this Fall, Horseman’s Hollow. Inspired by Washington Irving’s classic ghost story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," Horseman’s Hollow is, according to  Historic Hudson Valley’s Rob Schweitzer, "Stocked with professional actors and state-of-the-art special effects. Horseman’s Hollow has a very high fear factor and is not for the faint of heart."

The attraction will run for two more weekends at Philipsburg Manor, 381 North Broadway (Route 9) in Sleepy Hollow.(ticket information is below.)

According to the show program,

"Historic Philipsburg Manor will transform into a terrifying landscape ruled by vampires, witches, undead soldiers, ghouls, and ghosts, all serving the Headless Horseman himself. Historic Hudson Valley is working with haunted house professional Lance Hallowell to create an immersive, interactive, pleasantly terrifying experience stocked with professional actors and state-of-the-art special effects. Visitors begin walking a haunted trail, stumbling upon scary scenes of a town driven mad by the Headless Horseman. The Hollow’s unfortunate inhabitants are all too ready to keep visitors from ever leaving"

This Fall, Horsemen’s Hollow joins another new experience, ‘Legend,’ and two that are returning, the Blaze and Legend Celebrations.
