Who is Headless Horseman?

The Headless Horseman is a character from Disney’s animated feature “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad,” which was released in 1949. The film is a combination of two separate stories based on classic literature: “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving and “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame.

In “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” segment, the Headless Horseman, voiced by actor Billy Bletcher who is most known for being the early voice of Mickey’s foe Pete, is a legendary ghostly figure who is said to haunt the village of Sleepy Hollow. He is described as a headless rider who carries a pumpkin as a makeshift head, and he is known for chasing and terrifying those who dare to venture out in the dark of night.
