Sleepy Hollow has a lot of elements of the Horror genre working for it. The title character dictates that after all. But in the first 10 episodes, it may come across as being 'sanitize' for broadcast TV. Maybe it has to do with FOX not wanting (or can't) to push the envelope a bit further. That is until now. The Vessel is definitely on the right track here. It's not gory or anything and I don't think it needs to be that to claim itself as 'Horror'. But The Vessel itself is the closest thing to a true Horror episode that takes a page right out of Fallen with demonic possession and the ability to jump from one host to another. I thought the pacing was fantastic in this episode. The FX were great and it just played extremely well overall. Lyndie Greenwood did an awesome job with her scene being possessed. Same goes for Amandla Stenberg. Also great to see Clancy Brown. I hope there are more episodes with him in the future.

Yo Mac, you're probably not watching this, but I do think you will definitely enjoy this particular episode as it's right in your wheelhouse. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed at all.
