scary face

Halloween mask expression

A scary face is a face—real, depicted, or performed—intended to frighten or unsettle.

Children make scary faces to spook each other; Halloween decorations feature scary faces on pumpkins and masks.

The phrase can describe both deliberate expressions and naturally unsettling features: He pulled a scary face at his little sister, That clown has a scary face.
