I just finished watching The Rose Tattoo (1955) on DVD about 15 minutes ago, the desperately distraught, Sicilian born woman in an Italian/American neighborhood kept asking her Priest if the rumor was true, did her dead husband "plant horns on her head".

Because of the context I got it, but I was sure puzzled by the phrase.
