4.0 out of 5 stars
One to put back in the market, October 11, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have not seen this particular version for many years, it's not even shown on TV around Halloween. But I often think about the time, long ago, when I chanced upon it on TV. I thought Jeff Goldblum was perfectly cast and the live action made viewing much more enjoyable for an adult, than say, a cartoon. I wished I had video-taped it, because it has been impossible to obtain a VHS/DVD copy. It's perfect TV viewing for a windy autumn night, not too scary for smaller ones to watch, but enough of a hoot for the whole family. I hope "they" will make it available to the general public sometime soon.

Where's our DVD?, October 7, 2007
This review is from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Like many people I grew up on this version of the classic story, and like many people, every year at Halloween I dig out the old and fairly worn out recording I made years ago. It's staticy and jumpy and full of commercials, but I still watch it every year without fail. Why? Because despite the fact that this is a low budget production,it works and works wonderfully. It's funny, spooky, and just all around enjoyable. Goldblum's lanky, idiosyncratic Crane is perfect, and despite the fact the cast is made up of not-exactly-A-list actors (not to mention one football player) They all fit their parts, and manage to work up enough chemisty to overcome every weakness to be found. Now maybe you have to grow up on this like I did, but I think a lot of people will enjoy this version, especially kids. Now will someone PLEASE put it out on DVD before my copy finally dies?!?!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Needs to be released as a DVD, September 8, 2004
This review is from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I purchased this video last year and the VHS sound quality is awful and the picture quality was not much better. I really like the story with Jeff Goldblum and hope they release a DVD version before Halloween.
