Happy New Year to everyone in this very special community. Today I share with you my first weekend experience of 2024.
This Saturday I decided to take a break at home, taking advantage of my free time with my girlfriend. I prepared my conditions to do a series marathon. The series that I share with you, was the one chosen for my audiovisual adventure.
Sleepy Hollow in its third season, is a super fantastic series, which is based on telling the stories and myths of curses and demons, in a town in the United States, called the same way. This town is located in one of the points of convergence of mystical energies, so supernatural forces are attracted to it and it is one of the gates to hell.
At the beginning of the chapters a lightning made me jump out of my chair, the effects are very well conceived, among the fantastic series I've seen, this is one of the best. The protagonists of the series are Captain Crain, a biblical witness and traveler from the past, accompanied by his wife Katherine who is a witch. Other protagonists are the second biblical witness Abigail the police sergeant of the present and his sister, who is a treasure hunter.
In the first season their enemy is the Headless Horseman, who turns out to be a friend of the main characters, until a rift occurs in their relationship.
I love to see the way in which the plot of the series is developed, through the resolution of homicides, based on the supernatural sphere. Where they make sense of each case by telling how the curse that caused it was born. Captain Crain has a colonial style stamp, he is a historian and father of the creation of the United States.
The history of the United States is full of legends that in the series give an explanation, where each myth arises, revealing incredible events that escape our imagination, making me hooked with this series for its constant plot of mystery and action. In addition, it is a series that involves you in a journey through time, narrating how the ancient times of the United States were, as well as its most important figures. This series is well done, with very good special effects.
Among the stories reflected in the chapters, we find The Headless Horseman, which is one of the main axes of this adventure, against whom they have to fight. The Pied Piper of Hamelin, La Llorona, The Succubus, The Gorgon, Pandora's Box. Jack the Ripper, among others. These forces of misnamed to fight this war against humanity. Led by the Devil, in order to open the gates of purgatory to destroy the human world. As well as the rest of the stories of murders caused by other curses. In each chapter I see the story catches me more and more. Besides, I learn a lot with its content. It's great how they manage to mix scenes from the present and the past.
One of the chapters that I liked the most was the story of the Tooth Fairy, why in ancient times they gave a silver royal to each child when he lost a tooth, to protect him from the Fairy, which drained the vital essence of the children plunging them into a deep sleep until death. This curse was invisible to the eyes of adults, only the innocence of children could perceive it. The search for a way to defeat it is exciting, it shows the technological development that existed in the past. That was able to eliminate these curses. Luckily, looking for clues and reviewing documents from the past, they find a weapon that uses silver nitrate to kill the Fairy.
It has been super fun to venture this weekend through the magic of the cinematic world. Between moments of laughter, fear and love.
Thanks for reading.
