See? I told ye they were a buncha' wee lasses!
The Demoman on cowardly, undead horsemenn

The Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, commonly abbreviated as the UHHHH, HHHH or simply Headtaker , is a melee weapon for the Demoman. It is the rustic, single-bladed axe wielded by the Horseless Headless Horsemann. The blade is chipped and worn in some places, sporting a malevolently-grinning face cut into its broad edge that is similar to the face commonly carved on pumpkins for Halloween.

This weapon functions in exactly the same way as the Eyelander and Nessie's Nine Iron, except for using the sounds used by the Horsemann's axe.

The Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker is available to anyone who has acquired the Haunted Metal Scrap before or after the Scream Fortress event by killing the Horsemann with a melee weapon; it may then be crafted through the prescribed blueprint.

Taunting with the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker equipped will perform the Decapitation kill taunt.
