Description

One of the many American folk stories, the tale of the Headless Horseman is, as one might expect, a gruesome tale of horror and death. It claims that in the midst of the American Revolution, a Hessian soldier had come in order to taste the blood of his victims. Already a pretty vicious sort of killer, the Hessian fought with an axe despite his enemies having cannons and firearms. Nothing could stop the horrific onslaught until a blast of cannon fire took off his head!But, not even that could sate the rider’s bloodlust. It would continue to rise as though possessed by the very spirit of warfare, chasing down the American settlements, wreaking havoc on the neighborhood and ever seeking more victims. The legends argue how the Headless Horseman was eventually ended. Some believe his head was found and restored. Others believe he’d not end until he’d claimed a new one he especially liked for his own. And, of course, there are some who argue that the monster never left!Whichever story may be true, you can enjoy a bit of the legend yourself by letting your tyke act out a much more innocent form of the legend in this Child Sleepy Hollow Headless Horseman costume. The Revolutionary themed jacket Velcros down the back and the bandoleer harness straps across the chest. An inflatable shoulder component allows for the missing head to strangely breath, a creepy addition that will delight all, no doubt! Accessorize with the iconic axe or a jack-o-lantern and you’ll have the legend come to life!
