You’ve wandered into the topsy-turvy world of Tulgey Wood, the blog of writer and historian Jim Fanning. Tulgey Wood celebrates artistry and creativity (and sometimes just plain madness): movies, animation, TV, books, comics—and of course Disney, lots and lots of true-blue, through-and-through Disney, including D23 and Disney twenty-three Magazine, and Sketches Magazine and the Walt Disney Collectors Society. Tulgey Wood is so fun, fascinating and full of frolicsome photos and facts, it’s scary. So wander through the wonder of it all, and enjoy.

The Ghosts are Bad but the One That's Cursed/Is the Headless Horseman; He's the Worst!

Celebrating Walt Disney’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow for its 75th anniversary! Originally released on October 5, 1949, as one half of the animated feature, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, the Ichabod (Crane) half of this package feature inspired this 1971 album. The pictured LP is a reissue of the original 1969 album, with added “magnificent, full-color” illustrations. (You can see the illustrations on the back cover of the LP, the second image on this post.) The narrator is not Bing Crosby but legendary Disney voice artist Billy Bletcher, who also provided the terrifying laugh of the Headless Horseman in the original animated production. Don’t loose your head, there’s more Halloween fun here at Tulgey Wood all through October as we Countdown to Halloween 2024.    #countdowntohalloween2024
