Get the details on both after the jump!FOX’s freshman supernatural series, Sleepy Hollow will return for a second season this fall and to promote the show, the network will set up the Sleepy Hollow Virtual Reality Experience at Petco Interactive Zone. You will wear an Oculus Rift headset and experience Sleepy Hollow while being chased by a Headless Horseman. Members of the cast and creative are expected to make appearances at this event, which runs from July 24th – July 27th from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. PST. The other FOX experience at SDCC will be a zip line from the Hilton Bayside Hotel to the convention center through a “Gotham landscape”. After the ride, participants will receive a commemorative Gotham badge and a “sharable” photo. FOX will also have Gotham City Police cars driving around to give rides to tired fans after walking around the show floor all day. The cars will have iPads installed, offering sneak peeks of Gotham. Best part is, the rides are free! Both of these experiences will run from July 24th – July 27th as well.MovieViral will be in San Diego again this year covering all things viral!
