‘Sleepy Hollow’ episode 3 preview: First look at ‘For the Triumph of Evil,’ and a Sandman

Are you still enjoying “Sleepy Hollow“? Fox’s latest mystery / adventure show got off to a great start in the ratings, and it has a strong enough story behind it to easily become our new guilty pleasure of the fall. But if it is to maintain that level of fun, the test is going to be seeing if it can keep this momentum going until the show ends with its baseball hiatus in October.

The third episode of the season is entitled “For the Triumph of Evil,” which certainly sounds pretty evil on its own. Meanwhile, the synopsis below suggests that there is going to be a pretty terrible being entering the world of this show. Enter Sandman, anyone? Take a look at the synopsis below:

“Another soldier in the army of evil, the Sandman, seeps into the dreams of the residents of Sleepy Hollow. By infiltrating their minds at night, he tortures them to the brink – all because they, at one time, turned a blind eye to justice. When the Sandman seemingly sets his sights on Abbie, she is forced to begin to face her past – and her institutionalized sister, Jenny (guest star Lyndie Greenwood). With Ichabod by her side, and her life at stake, the duo must try to defeat the Sandman and continue their fight against evil.”

Also, the promo below gives you a first glimpse of this creature, who really looks to be rather creepy. Think a mixture of Rubber Man from “American Horror Story” and one of the ghosts from the world of “Super Mario.”
