The Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, commonly abbreviated as UHHHH or HHHH, 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 Demoman's Decapitation kill taunt.

Bugs
- 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.
- Upon destroying an Engineer's building, the kill icon will be displayed as the normal kill icon for the Headtaker - with the upper half of a stick figure's body.
- The kill icon for the Decapitation taunt using the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker depicts the Eyelander instead.
- Decapitating a Sniper using the Bazaar Bargain who has heads on his counter will steal those heads as if they were another Demoman with collected heads.
- Since the taunt is the same as the Eyelander's after performing the swing Demoman will wipe the dull part of the axe's head instead of the blade.
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.
