5	Five delinquent classmates must perform community service at Sleepy Hollow Park Grounds, a place notorious for vandalism and for many unsolved disappearances.

It is even possible that the legend itself is true.

7	!!''Sleepy Hollow High'' contains examples of:
8
9	* OneDimensionalThinking: Mr. E attempts to escape from the Horseman by running directly along the road ahead of him, instead of running into the woods on either side where the horse might have trouble following.
10	* AllJustADream: The entire film. A DreamWithinADream, in fact. Except the beginning and the end. Maybe.
11	* BadassLongcoat: The Horseman wears a long leather riding coat. Unfortunately, his badass-itude is somewhat undercut by [[FashionVictimVillain the rest of his costume]].
12	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: The first person to be murdered is a black jogger.
13	* CouldntFindAPen: While Justin is undergoing UnwillingSuspension, Bobbi writes the word 'SNITCH' on his chest in chocolate syrup so it will attract rats.
14	* DrawingStraws: The survivors draw straws to see which one is going to hike to the gas station to call for help. Mr. E draws the short straw.
15	* DreamWithinADream: Shannon has a dream where she goes on the work detail to Sleepy Hollow Park and is attacked by the Horseman. Just as she grabbed, she wakes up screaming in Mr. Breezo's class. After school, she goes to the park where the rest of the detail are murdered by the Horseman. Just as she is about to be killed, she wakes up screaming in Mr. Breezo's class.
16	* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Starts at midnight (the radio announcer says its approaching the witching hour) and ends at the finish of the school day (the last scene is Shannon and Diana walking home after school).
17	* ForgotToMindTheirHead: Justin is trying to fix his car when he hears Z and Bobbi coming up behind him. He lifts his head suddenly and bangs it on the hood of his car.
18	* HeadlessHorseman: The film is set in Sleepy Hollow and the killer dresses as the Headless Horseman, complete with pumpkin mask.
19	* HellbentForLeather: The Horseman wears a black leather BadassLongcoat. His other sartorial decisions are more [[FashionVictimVillain idiosyncratic]].
20	* HereWeGoAgain: The final scene of the film implies that the events of the DreamWithinADream might be about to kick off for real.
21	* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday: The film takes place on Halloween.
22	* HotForTeacher: Diana was transferred from her previous school for making aggressive sexual advances on one of her teachers.
23	* ImmuneToBullets: Z shoots the Horseman and he falls over. He then gets back to his feet with no ill effects.
24	* OffWithHisHead: The Horseman kills all of his victims by decapitating them with a sword.
25	* PivotalWakeUp: The Horseman does this after being shot by Z.
26	* ThePlace
27	* {{Troll}}: Shannon messes with Diana and Mr. E by revealing she hacked into their files alongside everyone else's, reminding Diana of how she had to transfer schools because she was sexually aggressive with a teacher and how Mr. E assaulted a student at his old school. Since the movie's a dream, it's unclear if this info's true or not.
28	* UnwillingSuspension: Z and Bobbi hang Justin from the rafters of an old barn for informing on their drug dealing.
