Mang?

[@goosekerr5985]

Gim Lee mang is his name, if you look at other video playlists he has a playlist of Q&A’s and he says what his name/nickname is, it might be mangg or maang but it’s easier to just go with mang since I forget the details

[@redlefthand36]

I remember that as a little kid, one of the first spooky things I watched was The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has been incredibly important to me since. It was one of the major things that kick started my deep love of horror. So I'm incredibly grateful for this episode. Thank you.

[@edgeelric4245]

Wait. So the story of the headless horseman is a story of a guy getting pranked by a ghost story and running away in fear... I always figured the story at least pretended the HH was real.

[@Myzelfa]

One of the few cases where most adaptations are better than the original.

[@raptorbadger3131]

I think it was meant to be ambiguous but Irving pretty much implies it was Bram. I wish it was a little more vague, like bram only followed ichabod for so long before the real horseman took over or something like that.

[@doomsday2703]

There’s a Hallmark film that goes along the lines of the book and it depicts Brom initially chasing Ichabod before getting knocked out. Then the real horseman shows up. It’s a good look at the story’s ambiguity in terms of depicting what really happened while everyone else is in the dark.

[@michaelvanhouten4498]

Oh my God. I can't believe this, I was going through the image list with the video playing on another tab, then I heard a name, and I thought to myself "what? did I hear right?" so then I just had to check with subtitles and at 7:58 there it was: Yost *VAN HOUTEN* my last name is in the legend of sleepy hollow!!

[@jakefrary8975]

I was just telling my buddy about how good your HP Lovecraft readings were, and then we're blessed with this! Keep up the great work!

Nice

[@durden2480]

Chad von tassel

[@edennis8578]

@@julyol119 I doubt that. Brom wasn't new to the village; he and Katrina probably knew each other all of their lives. Plus Brom was a healthy young man; do you really think that a lively young man full of testosterone had no interest in the blooming Katrina? Like the star of the football team has no interest in the head cheerleader - sure.

[@julyol119]

@@edennis8578 You're trying to see their situation through the lens of modern marriage. Marrying for love/infatuation only started in the late 18th/early 19th century and took even longer in tucked away small towns like Sleepy Hollow. Katrina was surely not the only "blooming" girl in that town, but she was the girl to be courting when it came to status and money.

[@caricatureparty]

It's interesting to me that Brom Bones ends up pulling the headless horseman prank rather than Ichabod. I feel like it could have gone either way. But Brom Bones being the Horseman also makes kind of a practical sense.

[@porkchopulator]

You sure are good at just... having a voice.

[@yesopenthedoor1179]

True, but I think that's the charm in his narrations. It's not some spectacle. It's just a guy reading.
