* Ichabod's fist fight with the Horseman in the graveyard.
* Ichabod blowing up the freshly-resurrected [[WickedWitch Serilda]] with those crates of gunpowder.
* We are introduced to Abbie's sister Jenny as she steadily trains in her hospital room, tricks a nurse into thinking she'd taken her meds, and then starts doing pullups on the window. She barely flinches when the demonic spirit-thing interrupts her.
* Abbie [[spoiler: shattering the Sandman into sand with a chair]] during her dream in "For the Triumph of Evil". Also on the topic of Jenny, [[spoiler:[[DungeonBypass cutting a hole in the ceiling to get out of her room]]]]. Talk about thinking outside the box.
** Ichabod joining her in the dream, and fighting as hard as he could, losing his hand.

-->'''Abbie:''' You have one choice right now. You tell me something, anything that will help me find her, or so help me I will rain legal brimstone on you so hard it'll make God jealous!"
* In "John Doe," we find out what the Horseman of Pestilence looks like: a samurai in black armor riding a red-eyed black horse who spreads plagues.
* Abbie, Ichabod, and [[spoiler: Captain Irving]] successfully tricking the Horseman into [[spoiler:a paralyzing beam of UV light.]] Special mentions include Abbie's WoundedGazelleGambit and Ichabod's [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu "Feeling mocked yet?"]].

* Ichabod, freshly informed that [[spoiler: Katrina gave birth to a son]], giving Moloch's house-haunting minion a thorough beatdown.
** "Give Moloch my regards." WHAM. Bye bye, monster!

** Abbie is confronted by [[spoiler: [[BigBad Moloch]] while trapped in Purgatory. He [[NeckLift grabs her]] and begins threatening her. Her response? Take the medallion Katrina gave to protect her form him and jam it into his shoulder, burning him and causing him to release her.]]

** Abbie and Crane taking on Death with submachine guns and a crossbow, respectfully. [[spoiler: Too bad it wasn't real.]]
** Crane escaping from [[spoiler: the coffin]] by igniting the sulfur content of the soil, and then crawling out.

* Practically every scene with the Pied Piper has one of these;

** The Piper taking on Ichabod, Abby and Hawley and driving them off with his bone-staff.

** And finally Abby killing the Piper by impaling him with his own staff.
* Ichabod exorcising [[spoiler:Moloch from Katrina's womb]] using Franklin's aurora crystal.

* "Awakening"

** Abbie is cornered by [[spoiler:Colonel Sutton]] in the cell. He's on the warpath, looking to hurt her, for what he believes are her crimes. [[spoiler:She [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps him]], choking him out in ten seconds flat, and noting that close combat has come a long way in two centuries.]]

** [[spoiler:Abbie finally getting out of the Catacombs and returning to the real world.]]

** "Creator/BenjaminFranklin sends his regards." [[spoiler:Cue Leeds getting his horned ass fried by a bolt of lightning.]]

** And, best of all, TheReveal of her true identity: [[spoiler:She's an adult Molly from a BadFuture.]] Re-watch her scenes with '''that''' in mind.

** [[spoiler:Ichabod coming to Jenny, Jake, and Alex's aid against the zombies, while controlling War.]]

!!The Film
* Combine with VisualEffectsOfAwesome, we have Ray Park, whose performance as the Horseman is just one long [=CMoA=] [[spoiler: until Walken, who doesn't utter one word, appears and takes over from there]].
* The duel between [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3mBsrFYwjk Brom and The Headless Horseman.]]
** [[WhatAnIdiot Say what you will]] about Brom, but it took brass ones to take on The Horseman in combat. And, to Brom's credit, he fought well. Problem was, The Horseman was [[OvershadowedByAwesome simply better.]]
** That said, it was very cinematic and easily one of the best sequences in the entire film. And, at the very least, Brom [[DyingMomentOfAwesome went down swinging.]]
* The entire final confrontation with the Horseman and [[spoiler: Lady Van Tassel]].
* Creator/ChristopherWalken as The Headless Horsemen. He not only made it work, he made it CreepyAwesome.
* The climatic chase scene between the Horseman and Ichabod. Becomes even more awesome when you realize JohnnyDepp did all his own stunts for the scene.

* ChristopherWalken as The Headless Horsemen. He not only made it work, he made it CreepyAwesome.

* Ichabod standing his ground against Leeds in the past.

* ChristopherWalken as The Headless Horsemen. He not only made it work, he made it CreepyAwesome.

* Ichabod exorcising [[spoiler:Moloch from Katrina's womb]], using Franklin's aurora crystal.

* In the fall finale, [[spoiler: Henry finally realizing that Moloch considers him disposable and killing Moloch to save Ichabod & Company...and the world.]]
