31 days, 1 alphabet of horror tropes → N is for Nightmare Face → A type of body horror, the Nightmare Face trope describes facial contortions, alterations, expressions or mutilations that are terrifying and nightmare inducing. Nightmare Face can also simultaneously fill The Unreveal and Take Our Word For It tropes by showing only the back of the head, insinuating that something is to terrifying to show on screen. The most common examples of this trope belong to faces of otherworldly creatures, but can include someone’s facial expressions in the context of a rather terrifying situation. -- source link
