Walken The Headless Horseman Was Terrified Of Horses
In an interview he gave to The Guardian in 2012, the Headless Horseman himself acknowledged that he actually feared horses. He said, “The last time I did a movie that needed a horse, I said, ‘If it moves, I’m out of here.’ The worst thing is, that they know when you’re afraid and act up accordingly. I’ve had them run off on me. Horses I do not like.”

Undoubtedly, Walken can be a terrifying character in a movie, but this reputation must also exist for him in real life. For instance, casting him as Max Schreck in Batman Returns apparently made director Tim Burton nervous. When casting director Marion Dougherty asked why, he allegedly replied, “Because that man scares the hell out of me.” Well, he certainly gets points for honesty!
