Legend of Sleepy Hollow

The tone that's set is like all horror movies.  They start of on a regular mood and they don't seem like anything bad is going to happen.  That is until they start getting them selves in something they're not supposed to.  For example, the Blair Witch Project (trailer) started of the girl doing a couple of video logs, asking people if they've heard of the Blair Witch.  One older lady says that she has encountered with the witch and the others didn't.  It was all fine until the loose the map while they were in the woods, then that's when they start getting themselves into bad situation.  So I think that the tone in the beginning of the story is set at a normal, average day.  Then when the group starts to get curious or the main character(s) get curious, that's when the trouble starts to begin.
