25th Anniversary Special: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Monday, October 31, 2022 • Duration 47:24

In honor of the 25th anniversary of DoomBuggies.com on Oct. 31, 2022, DoomBuggies founder Jeff Baham has teamed up with the Sibling Library Podcast to create a brand-new telling of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." As Haunted Mansion fans know, "Sleepy Hollow" was a tale which Walt Disney made into a classic animated film, and was then considered by Imagineer Ken Anderson as a potential setting for one of the showstopping scenes inside of Disneyland's proposed haunted house attraction, long before plans for the Haunted Mansion were finalized. So grab a blanket and start a crackling fire, pour yourself a cup of warm cider, and enjoy listening to our telling of Irving's classic horror story.
