The Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head is a cosmetic item for all classes. It is the head of the eponymous Horseless Headless Horsemann, complete with tree and eerie glowing inside.

This item is awarded to players who have earned the Sleepy Holl0wnd achievement, by contributing to the death of the Horseless Headless Horsemann that spawned in Mann Manor. It is available only during Halloween events.

While wearing this item, the player is immune to the Horseless Headless Horsemann's "Boo" taunt, but will still be vulnerable to being frightened from ghosts.

This item can only be worn around Halloween or during a Full Moon; at other times of the year, it does not appear in gameplay, unless the server has Halloween mode enabled. However, it can be equipped at any time and can still be viewed on the loadout screen even when it is not visible during games.
