Nightmare Face: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'': Darcia makes a few of these.

* ''[[Mitsudomoe]]'': Hitoha's face when she's mad, or whenever she feels like doing it.

* [[New Getter Robo]], [[Fan Nickname|Batshit Ryouma]] is already insane with his [[Slasher Smile]]. The final episode has him {{spoiler|absorbed a large amount of Getter Ray}} turning parts of his face and his eyes ''green.'' and then he starts his hot blooded and insane yelling. Scary...

* [[Magic Knight Rayearth]]: Vigor's face looks especially creepy when he first starts turning back into his monster form (he's a monster Ascot sent out to trick the Magic Knights, since Vigor can take on a cuter form that endeared itself to Hikaru), with the way his head is tilting slowly, his eyes are huge and glowing red, and his fur looks very wild too.

* [[The Lion King|"Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared!"]]

* [[Big Bad|Jafar]] briefly gains one of these at the end of ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' as he is gradually [[One-Winged Angel|turning into]] [[Scaled Up|a snake.]]

* [[The Princess and the Frog|Doctor Facilier]] during his spell-casting: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I4h-lHZ6Gw I hope you're satisfied...]"

* The first appearance of [[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks|Bruce]] in ''[[Finding Nemo]]''.

* ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'': Whenever the Beast gets pissed.

** Also, the Stove in the climax when he scares off the villagers.

* The face [[Pete]]-as-the-Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come makes in ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]'' when he tells Scrooge [[McDuck]]-as-Ebenezer Scrooge, "Why yours, of course... ...the richest man in THE CEMETARY!!!"

* The [[Monster Clown]] sequence from ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]''. "Run..."

** Also when Hades discovers that his henchmen had bought Hercules-themed merchandise, Pain wearing a pair of Hercules-themed sandals and Panic drinking from a Hercules-themed thermos.

{{quote|'''Hades:''' (to Pain) I've got ''24 hours'' to get rid of this ''bozo'', or the entire scheme that I've been setting up for ''eighteen years'' goes up in smoke, and ''you are wearing HIS MERCHANDISE?!!??!''"}}

* Probably the most memorable scene of [[Inland Empire]].2 for the price of one, in fact.

** David Lynch has a fondness for this trope; see the ending to [[Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me]] for [http://images2.fanpop.com/images/quiz/302000/302806_1255630035657_500_281.jpg proof].

* ''[[The Exorcist]]'' gave us two scary faces- namely, the girl herself and the subliminal white face that appears randomly in the movie and in the director's cut- also known as ''Captain Howdy'' or Pazuzu. It's also features in most (if not all) screamers.

* Reportedly, there were incidents with viewers fainting of shock at the unmasking scene in the 1925 silent film version of ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'', starring Lon Chaney Sr. who did his own make-up, going as far as to use metal wires to mold his face. To this day, his portrayal of the Phantom remains by far the most faithful to the original novel - and certainly one of the most effective.

*** And Gerard Butler's Phantom still looks like Sandor Clegane from [[A Song of Ice and Fire]].

* While we're at it: Sandor "The Hound" Clegane from [[A Song of Ice and Fire]], who had the left [[Two-Faced|half of his face]] burned off by his [[Complete Monster|older brother]] when he was a kid.

** Also, the illustration from ''The Haunted House''. We would post a link, but we're too scared to search.

* Quasimodo in Victor Hugo's novel ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (novel)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' is described as being so ugly, people mistake him for the Devil.

** "Most of her lips burned off" is [http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/304/a/8/L4D2___The_Spitter_by_sparklehorse.png something of an understatement].

** Compared to the other Special Infected, the Hunter seems almost normal... until you get a good look at its face and see that ''[[Eye Scream|its eyes have been torn out]]''.

** Unused enemies in ''[[Mother 3]]'' feature this: creatures with no eyes and a wide open mouth which, simillarly to Giygas, act as a background. These have been flying around [[YouTube]] for a while.

* ''[[Yume Nikki]]'' gave us Uboa and Face, among many other things that could also easily fit this trope.

*** Forget him. What about the face that appears when you put on the Deku, Goron, and Zora masks?

* In [[Touhou Project|Labyrinth of Touhou]], Alice's boss sprite is apparently a reference to a very obscure game. For the rest of us who don't know about that (and is challenging her for the first time), her face can be quite startling to look at.

* The scary maze game.

** Also, screamers in general.

== Webcomics ==

* [[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures|DMFA]]'s [[All There in the Manual|background material]] gave us [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Leader03.php this]. Oh Lordy. Gee, I wonder what [[Emotion Eater|that clan feeds on]]...

* Some people in [[Goblins]] are very good at this. [http://www.goblinscomic.com/05272009/ Very] good.

* [[Homestar Runner|"Look lively. LOOK LIVELY!!!" (walks off using his bow as legs while producing Homsar's walking noise as he does so)]]
