A grisly sister trope to Wipe That Smile Off Your Face, in which brute-force means instead of fantastic ones are used to seal a person's lips. Sometimes this trope is applied to living characters as a torturous way to prevent them from speaking or crying out. It's also used occasionally on corpses, often to send a message to whoever finds them that the dead victim had talked too much. Self-inflicted examples also occur, for added Squick. Variants may use something other than string, such as wire, pins, or padlocks. Whatever the means of closure, the unfortunate subject of this trope is going to have pierced lips. Subtrope of Facial Horror, and the inversion of Glasgow Grin. Sometimes combines with Eye Scream if multiple facial features are sealed. Can result in a literal case of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, especially if accompanied by other horrors. Related to Bound and Gagged, particularly if the stitching process is shown. |

Divinity: Original Sin II: The zombie-like Silent Monks have their mouths sewn shut by the Divine Order, though, since they're produced by reducing people to Empty Shells through the destruction of their souls, they wouldn't be doing much talking anyway. | |

A dying rape victim on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit was found in the trunk of a car, bound and stabbed repeatedly, with her lips sewn shut. This trope, followed by the intubation performed at the ER, prevented her from telling anyone about her attacker. | |

Subverted by several Digimon, the most prominent being Wizardmon from Digimon Adventure. They have large stitches where most creatures would normally have teeth and can speak and even eat normally. Digimon Ghost Game even has an instance of a Clockmon's mouth-stitches getting severed during a battle and it only being a minor injury, especially compared to the other damage that it suffered from the same attack. | |

On CSI: NY, an investigation into a possible blowfish-poisoning reveals along the way that a Japanese chef had been passing farm-raised blowfish off as wild at his restaurant. The clue that he'd done so is that the fish had originally had their mouths stitched shut to prevent them from biting one another during shipment. | |

On Fear the Walking Dead, a walker approaches Al undetected, because its body had been prepped for burial before animation and couldn't moan through sewn-shut lips. On the up side, it couldn't bite through its sealed mouth either, and Dwight destroys it in the nick of time as it opens its jaw wide enough to bust the stitches. | |

In the 1959 film The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake, the Drake family is stalked by enemies with a long-standing grudge, one of them a vengeful Jivaro with his mouth tied shut with twine in emulation of a shrunken head. The head of each victim is given this treatment so it can be kept as a trophy, while the extracted skull is left as a grisly Calling Card in the Drake family vault. | |

Cursed Princess Club: When Gwendolyn meets Princess Renee of the Velvet Kingdom, she thinks the latter's stitched-up mouth is her Curse. It turns out that her actual curse is to spit out living frogs whenever she speaks, and doctors stitched a zipper into her mouth to keep this from happening constantly (which also means she can unzip it whenever she wants). | |

In The Scar, it's mentioned that many of the undead who rule the city-state of High Cromlech have had this done as part of their embalming process, so their national language is based on timed facial expressions such as eye-rolling rather than spoken words. In the short story "Jack", set in the same Verse, the urban outlaw Jack Half-A-Prayer did this to an informant who'd ratted out some union organizers to the secret police. |

The Elf: In the prologue, we see a crazy old toymaker (AKA Nick's grandfather) in a cabin sewing something with a curved pin. We soon see that he's sewing a child's mouth shut with the titular doll next to the child. The toymaker doesn't get to finish since he gets killed by a mysterious entity who takes a list he made. | |

Valhalla: Volume ten covers Loki's wager with Brokk as described in the mythology section. After repeatedly being cheated by Loki throughout the volume and finally prevented from taking Loki's head, Brokk reveals that his Swiss-Army Weapon axe includes a sewing kit, and makes good use of his legal claim to Loki's head: The final panel shows Brokk walking angrily off into the sunset while Loki's mouth has a a big 'X' sewn over it. | |

Twisted Metal Black has Frank "No-Face" McCutcheon, who was once a boxer until one bad match that broke his face. When he visits a surgeon to fix his face, the doctor, who actually bet on him to win that particular match that he lost, decides to cut his tongue and eyes out and sew his lips and eyelids closed in Disproportionate Retribution. Needless to say that when he woke up, he was incredibly pissed. | |

Skullgirls: The character Squigly, last of a long line of opera singers, used to be an undead minion of the Skullgirl and has her mouth sewn shut. In her story mode it's revealed that this was done by Lorenzo Medici as a symbolic threat to her family—he can take away her voice, the most precious thing to her, and he can do similar deeds to those that oppose him. She's kinda pissed about this once she realizes it, though it doesn't stop her from talking; Word Of God states that her space-manipulation powers allow her to talk by creating vibrations in the air in front of her face. As a result of her unusual method of "speaking", her voice has a bizarre reverb effect. | |

The villains of the episode "Deadliners" of Extreme Ghostbusters are the Vathek, a trio of interdimensional monsters that look like a mad scientist went freestyle on human bodies. One, Gristle, has his lips sewn shut, but his cheeks slashed open so that his teeth remain visible. It's not a pretty sight when he talks. The Vathek's goal is to turn humans into creatures like them and of course a few of their unwilling clients end up with stitched mouths. | |

In 9, the Seamstress captures 8 and sews his mouth shut to silence his cries. Less gruesome than most examples, as 8 is made of cloth, but his expressions make it horrible anyway. | |

In Thomas Tryon's Harvest Home (and the made-for-tv movie based on it), this is what happens to men who talk about the Harvest Home night rituals...and it's actually the lesser of the two punishments. Men who actually witness the ritual have their eyes gouged out and their tongues removed. | |
