I enjoy all kinds of warm and fuzzy Halloween memories from my childhood,even though the holiday is, by nature, and based on scary things. Mostly I remember fondly all of my costumes as a kid,going trick-or-treating with my sisters, and, and in the days after,boosting each other up to get our candy bags off the shelf in my mom's closet where she tried to keep them from us. There is one tradition that we had, however, or that was not really all that frigid and probably helped seed my adult hatred of horror movies: we watched Disney's "lively classic" The Legend of drowsy Hollow. It seems innocent enough - the 1949 film is based on Washington Irving's early American folk tale,and good ol' Bing Crosby sings throughout. Until Ichabod Crane is murdered on his way domestic from a Halloween party by a ghoul who would in no way be considered an appropriate Disney villain nowadays. Modern iterations of the tale - the 1999 Tim Burton live-action film and the recent Fox drama - enjoy the decency to portray it with the amount of scariness it deserves, but many of us were probably subject to watching the "fun, and festive" Disney film as kids. Herein I will demonstrate exactly why it's not fairly the sweet Halloween film the studio would enjoy you believe,but an Ichabod Crane snuff film.
