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”.
