Turns out, September’s treating the Headless Horseman like Halloween came early. Today, over in Sleepy Hollow, thousands descended onto Beekman Avenue for the annual Sleepy Hollow Fair—that’s right, five thousand mortals gathered for pumpkin everything, local witches peddling trinkets, and a not-so-secret “surprise” appearance from our axe-wielding, noggin-less legend. According to Secret NYC, the Horseman is still the town’s big draw and apparently, he has the showmanship to make Houdini jealous, popping up whenever he feels like it and vanishing just as fast. I admire that level of boundary issues[SecretNYC.co].And speaking of making an entrance, Sleepy Hollow’s not your only haunt this Horseman season. The Spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country event is mixing folklore, live illusion, and—no joke—the Horseman himself into some supernatural magic show. Is he pulling rabbits out of a pumpkin? Is he heckling the illusionists? One can only hope. According to VisitSleepyHollow.com, this guy’s booked more fall gigs than the local cover band.Some more big news, Deadline reports that The Spierig Brothers are prepping a wild new horror flick called “Headless,” set to start filming in Australia later this year. Forget sleepy villages—now the Horseman’s tearing up the desert highways on a motorcycle. Sure, it sounds a little Mad Max meets Sleepy Hollow, but if anyone deserves a vehicle upgrade it’s a guy who’s been stuck with a horse for 200 years.On the social media front, Sleepy Hollow hashtags have been popping off—local businesses like Cozy Coven and the Bookshop are riding the Horseman’s coattails, plus every influencer worth their pumpkin spice latte snapped a selfie with the guy at the fair. Biggest headline? “Hudson Valley’s Headless Horseman Still Reigns as America’s Spookiest Celeb.” I saw that. Yeah, move over Kardashians.Headless, relentless, and apparently working this autumn harder than I am. That’s all for today’s Biography Flash on the Headless Horseman.
