comment
A horror trope which has become something of a Dead Horse Trope, as it's now almost always played for comedy. It involves a character seeing an ugly face and begin pulling at it, on the assumption that it's a mask. Of course, it's actually someone's face and the puller will typically be Horror Struck. Sometimes a purely comedic variation will occur with wigs if the joke is that a woman looks like a man. Also closely related to "I'm not pregnant, I'm just obese" jokes. Compare with Your Costume Needs Work, For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself, Mistaken for Fake Hair and Not a Zombie. Can be a result of the monster being Mistaken for an Imposter.

In the Tales from the Crypt episode "Only Skin Deep" (itself adapted from the aforementioned comic book story of the same title), the guy finds out the woman a deranged Serial Killer who murders men and cuts off their faces for her "art" he hooked up with during a Halloween party isn't wearing a mask when he scratches her and draws blood.

Over the Garden Wall: In "Hard Times at the Huskin' Bee", when Wirt and Greg arrive in Pottsfield, they see what appear to be pumpkin people and Wirt seems vaguely worried this trope is in effect. Once he talks to one, however, she (truthfully) explains they're just costumes. Beneath the costumes, however, they're walking skeletons.

The Ultraman Tiga episode "Deban's Turn!" features Deban, a child-like, harmless alien who lives with a travelling circus troupe. According to the troupe leader, Deban's backstory involves the alien bumbling into the group, which they befriend thinking he's just another costumed performer, but they later discover the truth when asking for Deban to remove his mask during lunchtime.

Hawkeye vs. Deadpool has Kate Bishop meet Wade for the first time while he's not wearing his mask. Because it's Halloween, she compliments him on his awesome Freddy Krueger makeup only to be informed by Clint that that's his real face. Awkwardly trying to play it off, she turns to face Clint with a comically mortified expression.

In Tokyo Ghoul, one of Amon's first assignments involved a serial predator known as Applehead. She turned out to be a seemingly-kind old woman, and the horrific red "mask" turned out to be her real face. The normal face was actually Latex Perfection, allowing her to remain hidden among humans.

In Spider-Man 2099: Exodus, during the fight with the Masters of Evil, Spider-Man tries to pull of Zemo 2099's mask (which appears to be basically the same as the current Zemo's, if perhaps a bit more formfitting). Cue Zemo screaming that it's not a mask, and Miguel being horrified to realise he's pulling someone's face off.

In the Disney adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo's deformed face is mistaken for a mask when he attends the Festival of Fools, leading to an awkward moment when Esmerelda tries to remove his "mask" on stage in front of the entire festival. Thanks to some hasty damage control from Clopin, the crowd gets over their initial horror and embraces Quasi as the King of the festival... until a couple of soldiers start throwing vegetables, after which the mood quickly turns ugly.

The Simpsons:
Used at the end of "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part 1)":
Krusty's face is usually shown as stark-white without anything put on it. In "Homer's Triple Bypass", Krusty tells Homer what heart disease has been like and points at his own face: "I got news for ya. This ain't makeup."
Also inverted by Krusty in "Bart the Fink", where he goes under the alias "Rory B. Bellows" for a while. The Rory persona looks like a "normal" Simpsons character — that is, with yellow skin, short brown hair and a normal nose. It turns out that it isn't Krusty without his clown makeup, but rather Krusty with a disguise that covered his usual clown face... even his red nose is hidden under a fake yellow one!
In one episode, the Simpsons go to a not-Ikea and meet its mascot, a figure made out of allen wrenches known as "Alan Wrench".

Looney Tunes: The cartoon Broom-Stick Bunny inverts this. Witch Hazel, wanting to stay the ugliest witch of all, gets jealous when she mistakes Bugs Bunny, who's trick-or-treating in an ugly witch costume, for a witch who's more hideous than she is. She doesn't realize he's not a witch until she serves him a beauty potion disguised as tea.

Fain of Lusternia. He used to be a handsome leader amongst the Elder Gods, but he partook of too much of the Soulless elixir and his trademark mask became fused to his face. His full title, incidentally, is "Fain of the Red Masque".
Rendered even creepier by the fact he can still make expressions with it, the metal of the mask violently contorting to reflect his wrath.

Fullmetal Alchemist:
Most people assume that Alphonse Elric just really likes wearing armor, since he never even takes his helmet off. In fact, after Al lost his flesh-and-blood body, in order to keep him from dying completely, his soul was bound to the closest substitute in the immediate vicinity, meaning that empty suit of armor is his body.
In Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), there's an omake episode that has the premise that the characters are actually actors. One of the jokes involves the reveal that the freakish-looking transformed Gluttony is not.

In the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode "The Man in the Mirror", Fred Jones' biological parents Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves respectively disguise themselves as Fred and an elderly Daphne Blake to try and trick the gang into leading them to the Planispheric Disc. When Scooby and the gang turn out to be wise about their ploy, Fred tries to unmask his father, only for Brad to reveal that he isn't wearing a mask and actually had plastic surgery done to make him look like his son. Judy has her face tugged on by Velma as well, who admits that she knew she also had plastic surgery and just wanted to cause her pain for the heck of it.

A straight and kind of subtle example occurs with the villain of the first Tenchi Muyo! movie. Kain is a semi-amorphous black figure wearing what seems to be a white opera mask, though an unusually expressive one. Viewers might well assume it's an affectation that he uses to define where his head is. In the finale, when he gets serious and takes a form like a giant rat, the mask changes as well, illuminating that this is his actual face.

Discworld:
Parodied by Death in The Light Fantastic, explaining why he appeared at a summoning ritual with a cocktail and a sausage-on-a-stick. "The party's nice, but I expect it'll all go downhill after midnight. It's when they think I'll be taking my mask off."
Terry Pratchett played a similar situation (almost) straight in his short story Turntables of the Night, with the catch that it's from the perspective of a guest at the party (who may or may not be drunk.)
Maskerade features Death appearing to a recently-deceased man while dressed in a bright red suit and an extremely cheap skull mask.*A nod to The Masque of the Red Death, though that one is No Face Under the Mask. The man demands that Death removes his mask, to which he complies. The man then asks him, with rising panic, to remove his other mask...

May have been the case during the Bal Masque in Gaston Leroux's original The Phantom of the Opera. Justified example here: Erik's deformed features actually resembled a skull, so everyone thought he was wearing a skull-like mask with his Red Death costume. Also an homage to the above Poe story.
It's referenced directly when Christine unmasks him - Erik digs her fingers into his skin to prove his appearance is genuine, all the while mockingly asking if she thinks this isn't his real face.

The Joker sometimes likes to pretend he's wearing makeup, but that ain't makeup. Well, except... Depending on the Writer, he does sometimes wear lipstick. The bleached skin and the green hair are almost always the real deal, however. Sometimes the lipstick is just the Joker making a joke, putting the lipstick on over already-red lips. Other times, he's cut his face off and only raw flesh is beneath.

An interesting variation occurs in the Goosebumps book The Haunted Mask and its sequel. Here, the titular mask and its siblings were real faces. The work of a Mad Scientist, the artificial (we hope!) faces started out beautiful, but became monstrous because the experiment was flawed.

A meta example: when Rene Auberjonois first started playing Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, he would eat lunch in the Paramount cafeteria and prank people by pretending that he wasn't wearing a mask. The makeup job gave him an unsettling resemblance to a burn victim.

Batman:
The Joker sometimes likes to pretend he's wearing makeup, but that ain't makeup. Well, except... Depending on the Writer, he does sometimes wear lipstick. The bleached skin and the green hair are almost always the real deal, however. Sometimes the lipstick is just the Joker making a joke, putting the lipstick on over already-red lips. Other times, he's cut his face off and only raw flesh is beneath.
On their second meeting, Batman tries to unmask Man-Bat, who laments that he wishes his mutated bat form was a disguise.

The Joker in Batman (1989) wore flesh-colored makeup to cover up his face, which toxic waste had earlier bleached white.
The Joker in The Dark Knight wears make-up, but the scars are real.

Kaeloo:
In Episode 65, Mr. Cat wears a disguise as Pretty. Kaeloo thinks that the real Pretty is Mr. Cat disguised as Pretty and tries to pull her face off until she sees the real Mr. Cat somewhere else.
Happens to Pretty again in Episode 83, this time with Stumpy thinking she's Ursula in disguise.

In one episode of Popeye, Brutus asks the Sea Hag to disguise him via a youth potion which makes him look handsome so he can charm Olive Oyl. Popeye somehow recognized Brutus via the latter's voice, then tries to "takes [sic] off that mask" (to quote Popeye directly) by clawing at Brutus' face, which obviously doesn't work, much to Olive's disconcertion.

One Piece:
Despite dressing like a clown, Buggy's round, red nose is actually real. It's possible he picked a clown theme just so his nose would seem less conspicuous.
During the Water 7 arc, a ban on masks is put into effect (since there was a carnival going on in a nearby town) after a failed assassination attempt on the mayor. An ugly-looking woman out to board the sea train can be seen desperately tugging at her face in order to prove that it isn't a mask.

Played straight in Robert W. Chambers's The King in Yellow, a short story collection that inspired H. P. Lovecraft and was a precursor of the Cosmic Horror Story. The quote used at the top purportedly comes from the titular play, of which we never get more than a few small excerpts, as it drives its readers insane (no actual performances are ever suggested). The King in Yellow character is implied to be some sort of Humanoid Abomination.
The exchange may also be a reference to a similar moment in Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death, where a mysterious party guest also declines to remove his mask, though the reveal ends up going a different route.

Used in Scooby-Doo on multiple occasions.
On The New Scooby-Doo Movies in "The Exterminator" episode Don Adams keeps removing masks off Lorne Chumley until by accident he pulls at his face. "Well I guess that really is Lorne Chumley".
Another Scooby-Doo example is the Halloween 1976 episode of The Scooby-Doo Show, where Shaggy falsely thought Elwood Crane was wearing a mask.
Perhaps their most famous instance was in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, since that movie was advertised as "The Monsters are Real". And so, when Fred PULLS a head off, it's shocking for all present.
Then in Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase when they meet up with old monsters, Scooby and Cyber Scooby attempt to unmask the Gator Ghoul to end up learning this virtual one is real.
In Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed, the guy working for the Evil Masked Figure is Ned, whom Fred tries to unmask, only to find out that he is exactly as he is.
In the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode "The Man in the Mirror", Fred Jones' biological parents Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves respectively disguise themselves as Fred and an elderly Daphne Blake to try and trick the gang into leading them to the Planispheric Disc. When Scooby and the gang turn out to be wise about their ploy, Fred tries to unmask his father, only for Brad to reveal that he isn't wearing a mask and actually had plastic surgery done to make him look like his son. Judy has her face tugged on by Velma as well, who admits that she knew she also had plastic surgery and just wanted to cause her pain for the heck of it.
In the half-hour Halloween special Scooby-Doo! and the Spooky Scarecrow, Fred compliments the hunchbacked and misshapen store owner Mr. Bumpy on his mask, only for Mr. Bumpy to reply with "What mask?"

The Reynard Cycle: In what is undoubtably a Shout-Out to Robert W. Chambers's The King in Yellow, the crew members of the Quicksilver encounter a rather disturbing mask-wearing, yellow shrouded merchant when passing through the lost city of Carcosa halfway through the course of Reynard the Fox. Shortly after this encounter, the clearly troubled captain of the ship claims that he encountered the same merchant at least fifty years previously.

Her rival Claire picks one out and fawns over him all evening, mistakenly believing he's a really cute boy in a costume. Toward the end of the evening, Beej suggests that she introduce him to her parents in order to make it official, and she urges him to "take off that silly head." He does.

When the Smurfs who don't know Timid was doing all these acting roles go to Papa Smurf to tell them that there is a Smurf among them that is impersonating other Smurfs, another Papa Smurf shows up, and Brainy pulls on his beard, thinking him to be the impersonator, only to find that that was the real Papa Smurf and the Papa Smurf they were talking to was Timid impersonating Papa Smurf.

J-Men Forever. The Lightning Bug is ostensibly a Master of Disguise to explain why he looks like different Republic Film Serial supervillains. At one point he enters as The Crimson Ghost, who hid his Secret Identity behind a skull mask.
