I only recall one scene from an animated version or maybe a children's illustrated book of the tale: Ichabod Crane says the Headless Horseman is bunk, walks through the woods and is chased by HH.

What?!? A murder detective? Who do these Hollywood people think they are? Next, they'll be telling us that Noah lived in Sodom... what's that? they already did? Oh, great.

Both of the versions I've seen seem to imply that Ichabod is killed with a fiery jack-o'-lantern type thing.
