A group of people wearing masks is never a good sign. Maybe it's the anonymity, the obvious Uncanny Valley, or decades of horror movies ingraining a deep sense of distrust about someone wearing a mask outside of a Masquerade Ball (or even in one, if it's sufficiently creepy). It's because of this dehumanizing aspect that masks are often used by villains, their Gas Mask Mooks, and other Faceless Goons. This varies by mask: Cowls and Hoods: Not exactly a mask, but used commonly enough to merit mention. A simple bag or cloth over the head, may be a creepy Sackhead Slasher getup or may be worn by an altogether nice Super Hero. A Domino Mask, one that covers only the eyes, is a traditionally heroic mask. The Ghost Who Walks and The Spirit being two classic examples. However, it may also be worn by comedy criminals, such as the Beagle Boys. Ski masks: If worn anywhere other than on the slopes in winter, often associated with criminals or terrorists. Masks that cover everything except the eyes are also associated with Ninjas and can be either good or evil. If the mask covers the top half of the face, it emphasizes the mouth, aka gluttony: Never a good sign. Unless of course, it's to show a Lantern Jaw of Justice instead. Or the character wearing the mask is a Char Clone. If it covers a symmetric side of the face (left or right) then it's fairly neutral... except for the part where it is likely hiding a decidedly nasty scar. See The Phantom of the Opera (well, its adaptations). The same thing can be done by Hiding Behind Your Bangs. Masks that cover the lower half of the face are likelier to be worn by the cannibalistic, or someone whose lower face is likely very damaged (as in, no jaw). They're also frequently worn by bandits in the Old West (possibly to keep out dust), as well as by ninjas who don't do full masks, and Gangbangers to conceal their identities and/or broadcast what gang they're with. A full face mask is perhaps the most ominous of the lot, varying by type: Abstract Mask: Similar to the Uncanny Valley mask below, the abstract mask is a haunting, unidentifiable mess meant solely to frighten and distract the victim from their oncoming demise. See Scream. Animal Mask: The kind you would see at a kid's birthday party. When worn by an adult (or several of them) it brings to mind not animal cuteness, but savagery. Clown Mask: As pictured above, nothing says "evil" like a clown, add in the faux cheerful mask and it gets ratcheted to another level. Mardi Gras/Venetian: Nothing says "you're going to die violently" quite like the festive and cheery masks worn in Mardi Gras or a Venetian carnival. The Executioner: Totally concealing, made of leather or sackcloth, probably black as the robes of a Hanging Judge. Someone has decided you deserve to die for your sins, and if this masked figure is after you it intends to carry out that sentence. Monster face: Usually used by the Cult and members of the Secret Circle of Secrets, in homage to their dark masters. Plain and featureless: A blank, featureless (such as White Mask of Doom) mask emphasizes the anonymity it grants the wearer... which usually means they mean to do harm, do not want you to know who they are, and want you to freak out because you do not know. Rage Helm: Designed to make a soldier or warrior look more fearsome. The soldier actually wearing the helm may or may not be as mean as the helmet makes him look. Uncanny Valley: Almost human masks are usually worn by criminals, be they kidnappers or Serial Killers. It may be to establish a Stepford Smiler like connection to "personality as a mask". See The Strangers. Last but not least... the Nixon Mask! Almost exclusively associated with bank robbers out to make a political statement. Expect a witty pun along the lines of "I am not a crook!" See also Faceless Goons, Gas Mask Mooks, Scary Shiny Glasses, and Henohenomoheji. White Mask of Doom is a common subtrope. Compare Cool Mask and Coat, Hat, Mask. When combined with the classic Black Cloak, it's the uniform of a Secret Circle of Secrets. When the mask itself is malevolent, that's Evil Mask. See also Makeup Is Evil. |

In Watchmen, Rorschach has the abstract/featureless version. As does Hooded Justice. Both he and Rorschach are very protective of their "real" identities; the Comedian also has a full-face mask but seems to have adopted it to hide his facial disfigurement rather than to protect his face from view. Also, like a Mardi Gras mask, the hedonistic overtones of a gimp mask promise ultraviolence. It also matches his belief that "the joke" is that people aren't better than animals and lets him shove that in people's faces by looking like a violent pervert in service of the government. |

In Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius, the titular antagonist Veniczar Arcadius is a former revolutionary turned Galactic Conqueror. He is never seen without an expressionless metal elf mask, and given his penchant for nuking cities from orbit, massacring civilians, reneging on deals that would guarantee planets a measure of autonomy within his empire, and cackling maniacally while doing so, it’s safe to say he’s malevolent. Apart from intimidation, the mask’s purpose is threefold: to hide the fact that he is not the original Arcadius but a successor; to hide the fact “he� is really a woman; and to hide the fact that the current Arcadius is not an individual but rather a collective of genetically-enhanced clones with a Hive Mind… all of whom just so happen to look like your ship’s Chief Engineer, to her shock and horror. | |

In Tokyo Ghoul, masks are an important aspect of life for ghouls. They take numerous steps to conceal their identities when hunting or fighting, favoring hoodies or cloaks and custom-made personal masks. Gangs often adopt a theme for their outfits, with groups like the dog-masked Black Dobers and the Clowns. Masks not only help prevent the CCG from discovering their faces, but help with intimidating others and establishing a reputation. As such, running into a person wearing a Cool Mask is generally a sign you're about to be eaten.... | |

CSI: NY: Season 1's "Rain" had clown masks being used in a bank vault robbery. An explosion caused an outline of a mask to get seared into one guy's face. Season 9's "Civilized Lies" had three guys mugging an off-duty cop. They all wore identical masks of their mentor's face to avoid identification. |

A few characters in Naruto wore masks, including Tobi and Kakuzu. Orochimaru sometimes pulled off the face he wore like it was just a second skin to reveal a different face behind it. Sometimes, the second skin actually was someone's skin... Recent chapters have revealed the probable reason for Tobi's mask. He's not Madara like he claimed, just the person to inherit Madara's plan. The Leaf's ANBU wear animal-themed masks that completely cover their faces. Mist ANBU and hunter-nin wear white masks with patterns resembling flowing water painted on them. |

One of the main differences between Paradise Lost's angelic army is that the rebellious angels are described with rigid helmets that dehumanize them into a blood-thirsty crowd, while the angels are described with no such collectivizing armor. The narrative also emphasizes Satan's full-face crest, which is the first thing in history ever to be attacked. | |

The New Adventures of Invader Zim: Near the end of Season 1, when Zim starts to organize his rebellion against the Tallest, he creates a new persona called "Miz" to serve as a figurehead. In order to conceal his identity, he wears a disguise composed of a cloak and a red mask in the shape of a stylized Irken face. Season 2 shows that his newfound followers start copying the look when carrying out attacks. | |

The Phantom of the Opera: a deformed conjurer also referred to as the Angel of Music and the Opera Ghost. He tutors and eventually becomes obsessed with Christine Daaé. He has no nose, and his eyes are sunken so deep in his skull that all that is seen are two eye sockets, except when his yellow eyes glow in the dark. His skin is yellowed and tightly stretched across his bones, and only a few wisps of dark brown hair are behind his ears and on his forehead. He wears a full face mask to hide his deformity. | |

It has a mysterious figure in a simplistic but creepy black-and-white mask who acts as the secondary antagonist (after the Operator) of the first season. In later seasons, it's revealed that Masky is actually Tim under the Operator's influence, and that he doesn't even remember being his alter-ego after the fact. | |

Pathfinder has the Gray Gardeners, hooded executioners and enforcers operating in Galt, a country in constant revolution. They maintain the Final Blades, guillotines that claim the souls of their victims (originally to keep their first victims' souls out of the hands of the devils they served but conveniently it also prevents resurrection). In addition to wearing hoods, they cover their faces with gray, silken veils to hide their identities. The country of Cheliax also has the Hellknights, several orders of warriors who emulate the tactics of devils on the battlefield. They're known for being covered in black or gray spiky full plate with terrifying helmets and are brutal enforcers of order and peace. There are also the Gray Maidens, similar enforcers for the Cheliax-founded city-state of Korvosa. The Gray Maidens were an elite, all-female bodyguard systematically tortured into being ruthless enforcers of Queen Ileosa's laws, but their armor also includes a signature face-concealing mask. |

The Beagle Boys in the Disney Ducks Comic Universe play this for laughs (most of the time). There is, in fact, a tabboo among disney artists against depicting the gang without their Domino Masks, frequently turning it into a Running Gag. When they were shown before getting their masks in The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, their faces were always framed in shadows, just of-panel, hidden by scenery, or, in one case, their eyes were perfectly visible, while the rest of their face was covered in muck. The few cases of their eyes being shown without the masks can mostly be chalked up to inexperienced artists not being familiar with the taboo. | |

The Fiend Folio, another Monster Manual of the 3.5 edition of Dungeons & Dragons, introduces the Ethergaunts, coldly rational and atheistic aberrations from the Ethereal Plane who are color-coded for your convenience and also sport featureless masks over their faces... which is fortunate since their faces are truly horrifying. In the Forgotten Realms setting, Rashemen witches cover their faces with masks at least in public. It's more of a subversion since at least in 3.5 cannot be of evil alignment. |

The Watraii in Star Trek: Vulcan's Soul. They're introduced as a band of masked aggressors threatening Romulan colonies; their masks are noted as making them particularly sinister. This isn't why they wear them (the actual reason is more to do with their own feelings than instilling fear in others), but their blatantly threatening manner and concealment of identity are clearly linked. | |

Game of Thrones universe: Game of Thrones: The Sons of the Harpy wear scary, golden masks and they basically fight to bring slavery back in Meereen. The Mountain becomes this after Qyburn reanimates him. As the name suggests, and combined with his lust for killing, the Mountain is essentially one step away from joining the ranks of Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers. House of the Dragon: Craghas Drahar aka "The Crabfeeder" feeds the unfortunate sailors he captures to hungry crabs, and he wears a golden mask not unlike those of the aforementioned Sons of the Harpy in Game of Thrones. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Koh the Face Stealer had a centipede body and was able to steal people's faces if they showed any type of emotion on their face when they were around him. If he stole their faces he would wear any of them at his choosing like they were merely masks. Several of these faces were based on traditional Noh masks. Zuko's Blue Spirit mask. Many of the Fire Nation soldiers, especially in the first season, have helmets that double as masks. |

Are You Afraid of the Dark?: The episode called "The Tale Of The Twisted Claw" had a group of older kids wearing masks of some kind and bullying these two trick-or-treaters. "The Tale Of The Many Faces" was all about people wearing masks, and asked the question "Is it our masks (faces) that define who we are?" The villain in the episode stole girls' faces and wore them to keep herself young. The girls' faces she stole were left with fish lips and white eyes, so they were given masks to cover up their ugliness. |

Appropriately enough, Malevolent gives us white, featureless masks worn by members of a Cult, and is first seen worn by a mysterious gunman who attacks Arthur in the first episode. Said cult turns out to be for the King in Yellow, and they have a base hidden under a hotel. Arthur ends up taking one, and it turns out said mask grants the wearer the ability to see things normally invisible to mortal eyes. | |

Violet from The Noordegraaf Files wears a very simple mask, with just two white circles covering her eyes. She may not be outright evil, but it's stated she's not completely sane. | |

The Mask, natch. In Real Life, people wearing masks often report feeling uninhibited. In its original form, this work takes this to its logical extreme with the complete suppression of the inhibitions of the wearer, essentially a possession by the Id. The titular Mask is also a Mask of Power. The result is an ultraviolent Anti-Hero. | |

Turkey from Hetalia: Axis Powers is a subversion, and more often than not Played for Laughs. Yes, he was VERY unpleasant in the past to many nations (young Greece, young Hungary, the Italies, Spain), but after having gone from the personification of the Ottoman Empire to the one of the Republic of Turkey, he's portrayed as a Hot-Blooded Jerk with a Heart of Gold who's actually rather fun to hang out with. Unless you're the now grown-up Greece. Go tell that to the Fan Dumb, though, considering how much Ron the Death Eater and Die for Our Ship he's subjected to on a regular basis. |

Magic: The Gathering: While technically they aren't men, the thrulls under the Orzhov Syndicate have gold-colored masks so that their hideous faces are covered. Not that they aren't hard to look at with them. Elesh Norn and her fellow white phyrexians subvert this. They appear to wear white masks, but they are part of their faces and are The Blank without them. Theros's zombies, the Returned, all wear gold masks to cling to what little identity is left them (which, ironically enough, only serves to highlight their Loss of Identity). Phenax, the god of deception, sports a similar mask. |

Martin Lake, a character in Jeff VanderMeer's Ambergris collection City of Saints and Madmen, is invited to a very grim event and met there by three men. One wears a raven mask, one a heron, and the last an owl. Lake is afraid of birds to begin with. He's also dressed as a frog, who could be eaten by any one of them. | |

Game of Thrones: The Sons of the Harpy wear scary, golden masks and they basically fight to bring slavery back in Meereen. The Mountain becomes this after Qyburn reanimates him. As the name suggests, and combined with his lust for killing, the Mountain is essentially one step away from joining the ranks of Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers. |

In Necromunda, the Redemptionists and House Cawdor all wear masks of one kind or another for religious reasons — a combination of promoting humility, intimidating rivals, and not wanting to be identified. The Cawdors tend to favour simpler domino masks and strips of cloth, while the Redemptionists have far more elaborate Venetian carnival-style masks, grinning skulls and KKK-style pointed hoods. | |

Spider-Man has a full-face mask. He's not actually malevolent, but it has been occasionally suggested that the full mask is one of the reasons why he has such a bad public image. People think that this applies to him. Many of his enemies, including Green Goblin, Hobgoblin,Scorpion, Mysterio, Jackal, Shocker,and Venom play this straight, with far more threatening masks. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Blood Angel captain Erasmus Tycho wears a phantom of the opera-style part-mask to conceal the permanent rictus grin he is disfigured with. The Sanguinary Guard of the Blood Angels sometimes wear full sculpted death-masks to acknowledge the sacrifice of their primarch Sanguinius. Eldar Harlequins wear a variety of carnivalesque, abstract, horrifying, blank, and uncanny masks to express their characters in the great masque that is their calling. Of particular note is the Shadowseer, playing Fate, whose mask is featureless, mirror-like, and reflects the destiny of whoever looks into it. The helmets of Eldar aspect warriors function as ritual masks, allowing an Eldar to don and cast aside his or her war aspect and keep it separate from daily life. |

Warhammer: Balthasar Gelt, Supreme Patriarch of the Imperial Colleges of Magic, wears a Greek-style gold facemask at all times. As a master of the Lore of Metal it's a reasonable enough affectation to adopt for him, but since he also wears thick robes, gloves and boots at all times, speculation is rife as to what exactly it is he's using the mask to conceal. Many Dark Elves wear daemon masks to present a horrific aspect to their fellows and enemies, especially the gladiatorial Sisters of Slaughter and some Doomfire Warlock horsemen. Elf scouts of all kinds — High Elf Shadow Warriors, Dark Elf Shades and Dark Riders and Wood Elf Waywatchers — tend to favour the lower-face cloth mask, occasionally tending towards full ninja-mask territory. The Orc Shaman Wurrzag ud ura Zahubu wears a very large wooden witch-doctor mask as a symbol of office (and because it shoots green fire out of the eyes!) The Masque of Slaanesh, a daemonic dancer who has fallen from its patron's favour, carries a pair of reversible theatrical masks on a stick — one for Tragedy, one for Comedy — as part of its trappings. Many of the Tomb Kings of Khemri and their undead servants go to battle wearing the elaborate golden death masks they were buried with. As does the Slann relic-priest Venerable Lord Kroak. A few other lizardmen, such as the skink Tiqtaq'to, emulate this look with their own all-enclosing gold masks. Asuryan, king of the Elven gods, is usually depicted wearing a faceless mask divided laterally into white and black halves. This represents his role as keeper of balance and order. |

Darcia from Wolf's Rain has two. The first is a blank mask with a built-in Eyepatch of Power, but the second is a smiling White Mask of Doom with an eye hole to expose his wolf's eye. | |

Char Aznable of Mobile Suit Gundam. Probably the most famous masked villain in anime. As well as his various "clones" — Zechs Marquise, Rau Le Creuset, Mr. Bushido, etc... Char inherited his mask from the character he was inspired by, Prince Sharkin of Raideen. Char and his clones tend to be Anti Villains, though, with the mask mostly there because it's cool rather than for creepy factor (though Rau is another matter entirely). |

Squid Game has the staff of the titular deadly contest, who take great pains to ensure their anonymity and thereby keep the games as much of a secret as possible. The Guards are dressed in pink jumpsuits and wear masks with different shapes according to their rank. Workers (being the low-ranked of the three) wear masks with a circle. Soldiers (the middle-ranked) wear masks with a triangle. Managers (the high-ranked) wear masks with a square. Their leader, the Front Man, wears a 3D geometric mask along with a black suit and Badass Longcoat. The VIPs who come to watch the last two games appear wearing shiny, gold-colored helmets with animal motifs. Similarly, the Host sports a gold-colored mask with the animal motif of an owl (symbolizing his intelligence). The waiters serving the VIPs sport black masks with only their eyes showing. |

In Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues, the Dark Dragon grabs a surgical mask from the nurse's office after he blows it up and marks it with an evil grin. The fashion passes down to the villainous Dark Dragon group in the future, whose members wear half-masks to mark them as a member. | |

Go to Sleep (A Jeff the Killer Rewrite): Jeff wears a costume which includes a Jason goalie mask all day for Halloween, and he still has it on when Liu finds him after he's killed their parents and carved a smile onto his face underneath it. | |

The Guardians of the Veil, of Mage: The Awakening, are often viewed as at least creepy and people you shouldn't get involved with (if not viewed as outright malevolent), and much of their symbology revolves around masks such as these. In particular, the Interfector (read: executioner) wears a blank mask with only eyeslits, and bloodstained gloves, whenever appearing in the capacity of Interfector. | |

Averted and played straight by, well, M.A.S.K.; M.A.S.K. itself is heroic, VENOM is villainous. Also, the "Masks" are more like helmets; and more emphasis is placed on the converting vehicles. | |

Marble Hornets: It has a mysterious figure in a simplistic but creepy black-and-white mask who acts as the secondary antagonist (after the Operator) of the first season. In later seasons, it's revealed that Masky is actually Tim under the Operator's influence, and that he doesn't even remember being his alter-ego after the fact. In Season 2, we are introduced to another mysterious figure, this time wearing a hood and with their face covered by a black cloth with a red frowny face on it. |

In Rurouni Kenshin, one of Aoshi's Elite Mooks, code-named hannya, wears the eponymous mask as his mask (his unmasked face isn't that much more pleasant looking). Gein wears a black and white cloth with an abstract skull on it over his face. |

Lupin III: The villainous owners of the club in Gravestone of Daisuke Jigen all wear creepy gold or silver masks that resemble human faces. The Ominous Owl villains of Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine could also count as they are all actually wearing creepily realistic owl masks. |

Torchwood: Miracle Day has a cult, all wearing white masks and marching in the streets. Since they were never even slightly relevant to the plot in any way at all ever, it's likely that this trope was invoked just to have an epic freaky cult marching in the streets for the trailers. | |

Belphegor, from the series of the same name, wears a gold-coloured plain and featureless variety, combined with a hood and a black cloak, making his appearance somewhat similar to the Grim Reaper. His mooks all wear the cloth mask variety, with two eye holes but without a mouth hole. Except his two most trusted underlings who surprisingly are unmasked and unnamed. | |

Subverted in The Nightmare Before Christmas. The three shady trick-or-treaters, Lock, Shock, and Barrel, wear masks all the time, but in their introductory scene they take them off, revealing faces that look exactly the same. | |
