''Headless Horseman'' is a film that aired on the Sci Fi Channel in October 27, 2007, based on the legend of the Headless Horseman. The movie takes the tack that the Creator/WashingtonIrving story was the "white-washed" version and the events in this horror film is the real story. It stars Richard Moll and Billy Aaron Brown and is directed by Anthony C. Ferrante.
After going through the woods on the way to a party, seven teenagers stumble upon a town called Wormwood Ridge. The townspeople are celebrating a Headless Horseman ceremony, which unbeknownst to the teenagers requires human heads from young people. The teens, with the help of a young tow-truck driver named Candy (who is initially on the town's side, but later feels guilty and decides to help the teens), attempt to escape the town before they are killed.
!!Tropes used in ''Headless Horseman'' include:
* BearTrap: A bear trap buried in the road shreds the tyres of the teens' van.
* ABloodyMess: When the van crashes, Tiffany thinks she has a head wound and worries that she is going to have a scar. When Doc examines the 'wound', he discovers the 'blood' is actually red nail polish from when she was painting her toenails.
* CobwebJungle: The inside of the Horseman's cellar is shrouded in cobwebs.
* {{Fingore}}: Seth raises his habd in an attempt to ward of the Horseman's axe. Instead, it cuts off his fingers.
