The Headless Horseman is a 1922 American silent film adaptation of Washington Irving's 1820 short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" directed by Edward D. Venturini.

It stars Will Rogers, Lois Meredith (in her last major on-screen appearance) and Ben Hendricks Jr.[1] It was the first panchromatic black-and-white feature film.

Brom Bones trashes the schoolhouse and tries to make it look like witches allied with Ichabod Crane caused the destruction.

[6] For authenticity, filming took place in the Hudson River Valley around Tarrytown, New York, the setting of Washington Irving's story, with its Dutch farm houses and covered bridges.

[citation needed] Alpha Video released the movie in a double-feature with Italian film The Mechanical Man (1921).
