Scooby-Doo

The Headless Horseman in the Scooby-Doo universe is often depicted as a spectral figure, typically associated with spooky legends and local folklore. He is usually portrayed as a rider on horseback, missing his head, which he sometimes carries or seeks to replace.

This version of the Headless Horseman made his first appearance in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Scooby-Doo Show, specifically in the episode "The Headless Horseman of Halloween" (1976). In this episode, the gang investigates the legend of a headless horseman terrorizing Sleepy Hollow.

While the specific backstory and motives may vary depending on the Scooby-Doo adaptation, the Headless Horseman is commonly revealed to be a costumed villain attempting to scare people away, often for their own nefarious purposes. He serves as a recurring antagonist whose mystique and frightening appearance make him a memorable Scooby-Doo monster.
