ANSWER: Movies

Khartoum


Khartoum is a racehorse owned by movie producer Jack Woltz. He was bought for $600,000 by Woltz who put his horse out to "stud". Khartoum was eventually killed and decapitated then was put in Woltz's bed by Rocco Lampone to convince Woltz to grant Johnny Fontane the lead in the new war movie he was shooting. Upon discovering Khartoum's severed head Woltz swore his staff to secrecy and had Khartoum quietly buried.

For the horse's head, director Francis Ford Coppola requisitioned a real head from a dog food company and had its head painted white to match up to the horse seen earlier.

Matt: WRONG
Record: 64-46
