10 More Times The Movie Killer Was Hiding In Plain Sight

Next up, Blackadder's Queen Elizabeth, Miranda Richardson, is lopping off heads again, in Tim Burton's wonderfully atmospheric gothic horror, Sleepy Hollow.

Skeptic detective Ichabod Crane is dispatched to the eponymous New England hamlet to investigate the beheading of three people, seemingly at the hands of The Headless Horseman, a Hessian maniac raised from the dead by someone with a grudge. He's bad, but there's a devious mastermind behind the deliciously gory decapitations.

The murders of Peter Van Garret, his son, the pregnant widow, the magistrate and the notary all point to a cover-up: this is murder for profit, so who unleashed the horseman from hell and where can we get one?

Despite multiple clues that point to the killer (only one person will benefit from these deaths), the REAL clue is contained in one simple line from Crane, after he discovers the grave of the horseman himself: "The horseman does not kill at random, his victims are chosen by someone who controls him, by that very person who took his skull, someone who knew where to dig... "

The horseman's burial was witnessed by two young girls, twenty years prior, so who are they? The witch Crane reluctantly visits freely helps his investigation so she's out. Crane's romantic interest, Katrina, is too young, so that leaves the only other female character, the one who stood to inherit the town's wealth, Lady Mary Van Tassel.
