Igby Rigney’s breakout turn as a semi-fictional Brett Easton Ellis in Ryan Murphy’s stylish noir adaptation of The Shards plunges him into 80s LA, where the privileged play by their own rules and a killer is on the loose. A heady mix of cults, murder and social hierarchy, it’s a wild ride. Having recently starred in the HERO Summer Zine 2026, we asked Rigney for his go-to Halloween movie. His pick? Tim Burton’s 90s gothic classic Sleepy Hollow.

Sleepy Hollow, 1999, dir. Tim Burton

“I visited the grave of the horseman as a kid, so the movie was extra terrifying. And the combination of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp never fails to hit. I wore out that VHS.”
