“There are a lot of characters that we are inspired by in The Bible. There are a lot of characters that play into coming in and out of the apocalypse — The Seven Signs, what’s our version of that and who can we adapt that that’s not so obvious? Even the population of Sleepy Hollow is 144,000 — that’s a number from the Bible. There are a lot of details from the Bible, but we’re not trying to do the Bible literally. But the Bible in a more general sense as a marker for American history; we’re being inspired by American history and the legends of our cultures.”

Revelation 8:1-3

“When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour, as Abbie attempted to explain the concept of Quizno’s to Ichabod, who shook his head and eventually said There are too many meats, it is a sin to choose from so many meats, so she gave up and just ordered for him.”

Revelation 11:3-4

“And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1260 or as many seasons as Fox sees fit to renew them for, hopefully at least three so there’s enough episodes to go into syndication, clothed in sackcloth, or knee-length greatcoats just swimming in buttons and a lot of really well-tailored button-downs, with just the right amount of eyeliner for a look that’s distinctive without being too done.”

Revelation 16:21-22

“And Ichabod awoke from a dream and said to Abbie I think there might be a treasure map on the back of the Declaration and she said What and he said Nothing, it’s nothing, I just had a weird dream, I think I was thinking of something else and she said Do you want any water and he said No it’s fine and then they both went back to sleep.”

Revelation 20:12-15

“And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. And Abbie tried to explain the Pacific Garbage Patch to Ichabod until he begged her to stop, and she had to go buy him frozen yogurt until he felt better.”

Revelation 21:8 

“After narrowly avoiding kidnapping and torture by the Knights of Columbus, Ichabod is distracted by a very small dog in the town’s main park. ‘It’s a very small dog,’ he said unto Abbie, by way of explanation between giggles. ‘So comically small. Who ever would want such a small dog,’ and then he did giggle again, and pet the dog and call it ‘a wee thing’ until Abbie told him he was making people stare, and then he did ask if they could get frozen yogurt again, and Abbie did say yes, Amen.”

Revelation 24:5-6

“And the ghost of Amelia Earhart did take them to the Bermuda Triangle, where Ichabod quietly called Abbie by her real first name Grace, just once, and she acted like she did not hear him, and he did clench his hands into fists.”

Revelation 25:11-14

“And the gates of that city were as azure, and as lapis lazuli, and Ichabod revealed that he had been friends with Benjamin Franklin, whose name was not Benjamin Franklin at all, but Nostradamus, and that he had discovered a method for turning wheat into jam, which was not as useful an alchemy as he had originally hoped but you had to admit was kind of interesting.”

Revelation 28:28

“And I did see Andy standing there, and he did see Abbie and Ichabod enjoying their frozen yogurts together, and he did mutter to himself What does she see in that guy anyhow, and then his head fell off again.”
