Calvin Montgomery, better known as the Headless Horseman, is the titular main antagonist of the 2007 horror film Headless Horseman based on the novel The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. As a human, he was a serial killer who preyed on children before being killed and transformed into the Horseman where every seven years he would rise to collect seven heads to regrow his own.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He was a child serial killer named Calvin Montgomery even before becoming the horseman.
- He was also a Satan worshipper and would sacrifice multiple children to him to gain stronger.
- After he is killed, he makes a deal with Satan that he would take the heads of seven to get his head back and this event also ends up placing a curse on the town that ties its existence to Headless.
- For nearly a century he tried to collect the heads of seven teenagers but always fell short of the amount he needed but during this time he did rack up quite a large body count with dozens of victims at least.
- In the opening of the film we see Headless killing two soldiers during the 1860s, this isn't really related to anything it is just to show off Headless Horseman.
- Kills off nearly all the teens one by one the group consisting of Seth, Tiffany, Lizzie, Doc, Nash, Ava, and Liam. Eventually, the only ones left are Liam and Ava.
- Murders all of his victims by decapitating their head and throwing it into the pits of hell.
- Headless as per usual is a Flat Character who is unable to talk for obvious reasons but he is not a Generic Doomsday Villain he has an exact motivation for everything he does that being to either gain power or regain his head he also shows a sadistic streak as Headless letting his victims think they can get away while he can easily kill them.
- Unlike a lot of versions of the character him losing his head is not portrayed as tragic but instead exactly what he deserves.
Trivia[]
- This is the only version of the Headless Horseman to be Pure Evil.
