1920s Halloween photography fad "horsemaning" resurges in 2011 alongside other viral trends.

A century ago, "horsemaning" or "headless posing" became a Halloween photography trend, making it appear as if subjects were decapitated. This fad likely stemmed from the 1922 silent film "The Headless Horseman," inspired by Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Although it originated in the 1920s, the trend saw a resurgence in 2011, alongside other viral fads like planking and owling, highlighting the cyclical nature of such cultural phenomena.
