Oct. 29--If you've ever wondered how Fox would top its "Bones"/"Family Guy" crossover episode, you're in luck. Fox has paired "Bones" and "Sleepy Hollow" for a special Halloween crossover event airing Thursday night.
And as far as we can tell, this time the crossover is not a scorpion-venom-induced hallucination.
For those of you wondering how the network is bringing "Bones," a science-based crime procedural featuring a forensic anthropologist heavily invested in empirical facts and evidence, and "Sleepy Hollow," a supernatural drama featuring an 18th century history professor turned soldier magically revived from the dead, together, check out a clip from the "Bones" installment of the crossover above.

The set-up for the crossover is that the "Bones" characters have encountered a headless corpse that is at least 200 years old, which is obviously of particular interest to the pair from "Sleepy Hollow."
Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) make their way to the Jeffersonian to investigate the case as it directly relates to concerns they have been dealing with this season in "Sleepy Hollow."
After the events in the "Bones" side of the universe, Dr. Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Agent Booth (David Boreanaz) join Crane and Abbie (and the headless corpse) back in the "Sleepy Hollow" side of things, which will apparently involve "an army of redcoat zombies."
From what we can tell from clips of the episodes, watching the oddly similar pairs interact will be interesting at least. While the shows are worlds apart, both Brennan and Crane are extremely intelligent, but with particular quirks, and Booth and Abbie are the practical law types.
Now that magic and zombies might be an accepted part of the "Bones" universe, maybe they'll make room for a vampire with a soul. Don't let us down, Fox.
