* In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Palpatine's kindly old man appearance drops when Mace Windu reflects his Force lightning back at him (this was likely on purpose to sell his WoundedGazelleGambit) and his face becomes the wrinkled, haunting, yellow-eyed visage it is for the rest of his appearances in the franchise.

* ''Film/LetMeIn'': Typical for the vampire trope, when feeding or in need of blood,[[UndeadChild vampiric child]] Abby's face becomes pale with TaintedVeins and yellow eyes rimmed in in black, and a mouth full of sharp, messy, yellowed teeth.

{{Game Face}}s in LiveActionFilms.
----
* ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'': If you ever meet Beetlejuice, [[SchmuckBait be sure to ask him "Can you be scary?"]]
** Barbara and Adam Maitland also learn how to make game faces when they try to remove the Deetzes.
* In ''Film/BloodAndDonuts'', Boya uses his game face to intimidate the gangsters that are harassing him and Earl. Unsurprisingly, it works very well.
* In ''Film/ClashOfTheTitans2010'', [[GorgeousGorgon Medusa]] normally looks [[CuteMonsterGirl very attractive]], but when using her stone gaze, her face becomes demonic and hideous.
* ''Film/CountDracula1977'': Dracula's, the vampire brides', and Lucy's (after she's turned) eyes turn completely red when going full vampire.
* ''Film/CountYorga'': When out in the public, Yorga seems like a normal 40 year-esqe man. But when he vamps out, his skin goes much paler, he gains a row of fangs in his mouth and his look turns downright feral. The same applies to his brides.
* In ''Film/TheDevilsAdvocate'', several characters associated with [[LouCypher John Milton's]] law firm torment Mary Ann Lomax by revealing their [[NightmareFace true faces]].
* ''Film/EmbraceOfTheVampire2013'': When a vampire is about to bite someone, they don't just show fangs but also their skin goes pale showing black TaintedVeins and their eyes become yellow, [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]] with [[HellishPupils slits like a cat's]].
* ''Film/FrightNight1985'': The vampires Jerry Dandridge and Amy Peterson.
* The vampires in the Titty Twister club in ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' switch to downright nasty-looking visuals when the time comes to vamp out, but the most prominent example is Creator/SalmaHayek's Santanico Pandemonium, who turns into a bald-headed and very snake-like creature when she vamps out.
* Played for laughs in ''Film/GalaxyQuest'', where the crew encounters some weird baby-looking aliens on a desert planet. One of the cute aliens gets hurt, and the others crowd around it as if to help it get water... only to reveal demonic faces with terrifyingly sharp teeth and devour the thing alive. (The reason it's played for laughs is that [[GenreSavvy Guy]] saw it coming because that's how things work on TV.)
* The Library Ghost's transformation from a sweet little old lady to a skeletal hag provided one of the first and most memorable scares from ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'', and an unused version of her Game Face was recycled for the [[Film/FrightNight1985 next example]] a year later.
* The ghost of the Aldrich Mansion in ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'' counts as well, looking very pretty until, to quote Holtzmann, "she dislocated her jaw and ectoprojected all over [Erin]."
* ''Film/HanselAndGretelWitchHunters'': {{Inverted|Trope}}. Grand Witches can change ''out'' of their monstrous faces and look like regular (and beautiful) women. Crosses back to straight since Muriel spends most of the movie looking pretty and dropping the disguise to affect a straight Game Face.
* ''Film/{{Hellbound}}'': The demonic villain mostly appears disguised as a human, but every time he kills someone he grows claws, gets frog-like pupils, and [[EvilSoundsDeep his voice drops a few octaves]]. When he's defeated, he briefly [[ThisWasHisTrueForm reverts back to his true form]].
* ''Film/KissOfTheDamned'': Vampires' faces grow slightly monstrous looking with their eyes glowing eerie blue when they begin or are about to feed.
* ''Film/TheLostBoys'': Vampires in general can do this, turning their normally-human features demonic and horrific. A seemingly-innocuous character [[spoiler:(Max)]] turns out to be the BigBad and we don't know it until he gets his Game Face -- but the effect may seem doubly disconcerting since actor [[spoiler:Edward Hermann]] was ''chosen'' to look especially nonthreatening. The only vampire who never did this was Star (and she wasn't truly evil).
* In ''Film/{{Nightbreed}}'', Lori and her boyfriend Eric Boone, now a newly-turned member of the Nightbreed, have escaped Midian and are on the run from the police. When the cops marshal an entire force to arrest him he turns around to show Lori his true face.
* In the Brazilian film ''Film/OAutoDaCompadecida'', Satan stops using his human face and goes into a devilish face (as well as a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep voice]]) after the protagonist angers him enough.
* Large Marge illustrating the truck accident [[JumpScare victim's face]], in ''Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure''. As Pee Wee would discover at the restaurant, that was ''her'' face.
* Inverted in ''Film/ScaryMovie3''. Being partly a parody of ''Film/TheRing'', it features a similar StringyHairedGhostGirl. At the climax:
-->'''Tabitha:''' ''(turns into a normal-looking girl)'' Thank you all. Your love has freed my soul. I won't have to kill again.\\
'''Cindy:''' Really?\\
'''Tabitha:''' ''(changes back, pulls a knife)'' I'm just screwin' with ya!
* ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' made Optimus Prime's trademark faceplate retractable so it could slide into place for combat (or when suitably dramatic), a trait that's creeped into other incarnations. Some of the other Transformers also have some kind of "battle mask", most notable Bumblebee.
* ''Film/{{Vampirella}}'': Vampirella briefly changes her appearance to make a point to Adam Van Helsing, gaining [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] and [[FangsAreEvil fangs]] in the process.
-->'''Vampirella:''' This is '''what''' I am. ''(changes back)'' And this is '''who''' I am.
* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': "Remember me, Eddie? When I killed your brother, I talked [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Just.]] LIKE. THIIIIIIS!"
** Although it's actually somewhat downplayed as [[spoiler:Doom's face was really [[LatexPerfection a rubber mask]] and when he reveals himself to be a Toon, he's still wearing the mask and we don't see his real face. All we get are his red Toon eyes popping out of the mask's eyeholes]].
