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.
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.

Bugs
- Decapitating a Sniper using the Bazaar Bargain who has heads on his counter will collect those heads as if they were taken from another Demoman with the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron.
- This bug is the result of the above weapons all counting Heads, which are counted as the same unit despite their different effects.
- Upon collecting 128 heads with this weapon, the counter will reset to 0. However, the player will still retain the health and speed bonus.
- This bug is the result in an Template:W of the byte used to synchronize this variable.
- If a player takes one or more heads and changes their melee weapon to any that does not tally heads, the particle effect of the glowing eye will still be present without the additional health and speed bonus.
- In some cases the glow from the eye can be seen through walls when playing with DX8.
- Decapitating a Spy using the Dead Ringer will still count a head and grant the health and speed bonus.
Unused content
- There is an unused alternate model for this weapon that resembles the Scotsman's Skullcutter.
Trivia
- The version of the axe carried by the Horseless Headless Horsemann is much larger and has a distinct blinking/fading purple glow.
