Add to a movie listThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow was a 1980 television movie on NBC filmed in Utah. It starred Jeff Goldblum as Ichabod Crane, Meg Foster as Katrina, and Dick Butkus as Brom Bones. The film is also known as La leggenda di Sleepy Hollow in Italy. It was directed by Henning Schellerup. Executive producer Charles Sellier was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on the movie.
It was not closely adapted to the original story, depicting Crane as a skeptic regarding ghosts and the supernatural, although it foreshadowed Tim Burton's similar 1999 treatment.
This film ends with Ichabod arriving at Katrina's house and the Headless Horseman returns to the dark forest. The Van Tassels bring him inside their house for hot chocolate.
Synopsis
The story begins when schoolteacher Ichabod Crane arrives in the quaint town of Sleepy Hollow. There, he discovers his predecessor was driven mad by evil spirits. Not one to believe in ghosts, Ichabod takes a personal interest in the "Headless Horseman" who terrorizes the townspeople with his midnight runs. In one hair-raising encounter after another, Ichabod meets the demon head-on (so to speak) and discovers the truth behind the legend. The timid teacher is soon transformed from laughing-stock to town hero in this gothic tale of early America.Actors

Michael Baskin is an average 11-year-old boy. His father, Billy Baskin, is a struggling artist and temporary sole caregiver of the children while his wife attends to the needs of her recently deceased father in Australia. Upon hearing the news that an abandoned mansion has recently burned down, Michael and his friend Connie decide to explore the remains. Outside the mansion, Connie dares Michael to take a look inside, leading to a frightening encounter with the ghosts of its homeless inhabitants who had died in the fire. Michael does not know this yet, but his fearsome run in with the ghosts has given him a mysterious illness simply known as "The Fright". Michael wakes up the next morning to find out that "The Fright" has made him lose all of his hair. After a failed attempt with a wig (his wig was pulled off by an older boy during a fight in a soccer game), the ghosts visit Michael in his sleep and give him the recipe of a magical formula for hair growth, the main ingredient of which is peanut butter. Michael's first attempt to make the formula is thwarted when his father and sister think he is making something to ingest (rather than use topically) and dispose of it.

The story focuses on Aman Sharma a.k.a. Banku (Aman Siddiqui), who has recently shifted into an old bungalow in Goa, with his parents, Aditya (Shah Rukh Khan) and Anjali (Juhi Chawla). His father Aditya is an engineer on a cruise line, and therefore moves with his cruise. They are made aware that the bungalow is haunted, but they disregard this. Banku is enrolled in St. Francis High School, and Anjali hires a kindhearted and comedic drunken thief, Anthony (Rajpal Yadav), as a servant to clean the house. One night, Banku goes down to the living room to have some ice-cream when he sees a shadow on the wall. Frightened, he calls out to his mother, before seeing that the bowl in which he was having ice-cream has vanished. Later, Banku returns and passes a sleeping Anjali to investigate. He then sees the ghost of Kailash Nath (Amitabh Bachchan) and then they start arguing on whether Kailash is a ghost or an angel (according to Banku, who constantly persists that Nath is an angel rather than a ghost). Banku nicknames him Bhootnath as Kailash says that he is a bhoot (ghost) and also says that "Nath" is his last name.
