In Sleepy Hollow 2, Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) returns to the Hudson Valley decades later, answering a plea from Katrina’s descendant. A sinister cult has unearthed the Headless Horseman, seeking to unleash his wrath again—and now swamp monsters infest the town. Ichabod teams up with modern-day constable Eliza Van Tassel (a new lead), using arcane methods to combat rising evil.

When the cult sacrifices Eliza’s partner, Crane must resurrect his courage and confront the Horseman atop the old covered bridge at midnight. In a brutal showdown, Ichabod severs the Horseman’s mystical relic—a silver machete—banishing him back to limbo. Eliza revives her partner using Crane’s alchemical elixir, forged from mirror water and Church relics. The film ends with Crane riding off into fog, disappearing—his work never truly done, and Sleepy Hollow’s curse unfinished.
