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. It is covered in notches and sports a malevolently-grinning face cut into its broad edge, 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 those who acquired the Haunted Metal Scrap before or after the Scream Fortress event by killing the Horsemann with a melee weapon and subsequently crafted it through the prescribed blueprint.

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; it may never be fixed.
- 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 in-game blueprint for the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker does not list the number of refined metals required for crafting, and as such, does not work. Two refined metals should be used.
- Due to a glitch, some early crafted Headtakers became tradable.
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.
