There are few sights more gruesome than that of a human face with all the skin removed. Something about the absence of eyelids, lips, and the nose combined with the rather bloody results makes this an extremely powerful image. Sometimes, a character will have their face completely destroyed, while other times, their face will be cut off and preserved. The one who does the cutting may end up wearing the face for themselves. Note that simply damaging the face isn't enough — to qualify, the entire face must be removed, leaving only some combination of muscle, teeth, blood, bone, and (usually) eyes. In a more cartoony version, it's probable that only the skull will be left behind the face. Despite having just been deprived of lips, the victim's ability to talk will be rarely impeded. Very much the scariest part of Flaying Alive, and often the M.O. of the Face Stealer. Subtrope of Facial Horror. Not to be confused with the end of a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax (in that case, it's Dramatic Unmask). |

The Saga of Arrow-Odd: When the half-trollish Ogmund and Odd fight at Geirrodsgard and Ogmund once again realizes it is looking bad for him, he tries to escape from Odd by diving into the earth (as trolls can). As Ogmund sinks into the ground, Odd gets hold of his beard, and rips his entire face off. As Ogmund is nigh-indestructible, he survives and takes to permanently wearing a mask. | |

The Curse of the Blue Figurine: In the later sequel The Drum, the Doll, and the Zombie, Johnny Dixon has a nightmare about this — in it, the book's villain, a hideous old woman named Corinne LeGrande (better known as Mama Sinestra), shows up at the Halloween party at his school, looking like herself. When it's time for everyone to take off their masks, she removes her entire face, revealing only a grinning skull underneath. | |

In Umineko: When They Cry, murders where the corpses end up like this happen repeatedly in some of the different arcs. Often, half the face is left on - Beatrice says that this is to prevent Battler from always arguing in response that the corpses are planted and aren't actually any of the people they're identified as by the clothing. However, the first twilight in the first arc has a case where five of the six victims wind up with their entire faces removed. This pretty thoroughly traumatizes all of the cousins who see it (save Maria, who doesn't see it directly and has her own... issues). | |

The Night Unfurls: With Super-Strength, facial destruction couldn't be any more creative. Original version: Chapter 4: Kyril rips a mook's eyes and tongue out with his bare hand, destroying the face in the process. Chapter 10: Kyril rams his Saw Cleaver into a mook's face, ruining it beyond recognition with a crunch.

Chapter 20: Sanakan caves a mook's face inwards by punching him in the face with her metal bracer. Chapter 34: Kyril shatters a mutant's face via a punch while giving an order to Bergen. Remastered version: Chapter 5: Kyril blasts an orc in the face with his Hunter's Blunderbuss, its face being destroyed by the shot. |

In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Guido Szandor, the final acolyte you need to fight, gets "rewarded" with this by Satan, who's very unhappy that he never took notice of the fact that Dracula has been tailing him. Noticeably, either due to Guido's or Satan's endurance, Guido's face is still moving as Satan's holding it in his hand. | |

My Hero Academia: Unchained Predator: With the Slayer in the MHA world, this is more likely to occur than not. In Chapter 14, he rips off a Saber's visor along with his face before popping it like a zit and stealing the M2 Browning to kill off the Sabers in the I-Expo district. In Chapter 16, Slice has her hair ripped off with so much force, it also ripped off her face, muscles and eyelids, leaving her bare skull, before the Slayer smashed her head into paste. |

Happens in House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. In the former, Otis guns down Denise's father, then he skins off the face and chest, wearing it to taunt the captive Denise, even trying to kiss her. In the latter, Otis holds two men at gunpoint in the desert, before a fight breaks out and he kills one and injures another. He grabs the wounded one after he shot him in the throat and uses his combat knife to skin off his face while he's still alive. He then wears the face in front of the man's wife, then forces her to wear it. | |

In Grim Hunt, after Spider-Man has been pushed to his limit, he presses his hand to Sasha Kravinoff's face and uses his wall-crawling ability to rip the skin off. This is a parallel to Spidey's imperfect clone, Kaine, whose spider-powers are amplified and twisted; back in the '90s comics, before his Heel–Face Turn in modern times, Kaine uses his gripping power to burn his handprint into his murder victims' faces, leaving scars from the crisscross patterns of the lines of his hand (the so-called "Mark of Kaine"). |

Optimus Prime does this to Ultra Magnus in Transformers: Shattered Glass.

A very graphic and detailed example is shown in Hostel. A scalpel is used to cut an outline onto the face, before the torturer uses the scalpel to pry away the top layer of skin. Then, using his hands, he slowly peels off the rest while the man being tortured screams in absolute agony, being alive afterwards while an audience of rich elites watch in enjoyment before the torturer places the skin on a mannequin head like it's an art piece. It's definitely one of the harder example to watch. | |

The face also turned into a nice little rectangular brick thing. It has been said that Lambada does this to defeated enemies regularly. | |

In the first of many horrific injuries she suffers over the series, Dorohedoro features Kaiman biting on Ebisu's face, then Fujita comes in through a dimensional door, grabs her by the arm and pulls her out. A few scenes later and Ebisu's face is hanging around Kaiman's teeth. | |

In the Evil Con Carne episode "The Right to Bear Arms", where Boskov and Skarr switch arms but can still control their arms on the other's body, Boskov makes Skarr do this to himself. When they're recovering in the medical wing after Ghastly has chainsawed their arms off and reattached them to their respective bodies, she also sewed Skarr's face back on but sewed his lips together. | |

In Deltarune, Susie — who's some kind of purple lizard attending high school with the other monsters — has a habit of threatening to bite people's faces off when she wants to scare them. The first time, feeling like she's doomed to be expelled and ponders going out big, threatens to bite off Kris' face and it's not entirely clear if she was serious before she thinks better. When she shows a perky Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain how to be scary in almost the exact same way, he is very briefly dismayed and then has an "oh, I get it" reaction. | |

Smaller & Smaller Circles: This, plus evisceration, is the primary M.O. of the Depraved Dentist Serial Killer. The sight of a faceless victim is enough to make one priest throw up his whole breakfast (although in fairness, the child's corpse was found in a garbage dump, so the nauseating smells of decay certainly played a part). | |

The Boys: The Female of the Species has a tendency for maiming, delimbing and mutilating her enemies/victims. At one point, she walks into a room for a hit early on and while we don't witness it directly, the face of one of the criminals inside splatters against the window. We do get to witness her do this in a fight against a low tier superhero team, where she rips the face off clean off a rather pretty superheroine without actually killing her. She is not the only source of this in the comic however. During the Russia Arc, a Russian ally's worker is sent on an errand and the protagonists end up receiving their pizza order with his sliced off face plastered across said pie. Also let's not forget what happened to the President during the final arc... |

Spider-Man: In The Amazing Spider-Man (1999), Peter once ripped part of Norman Osborn's face off when he stuck to it with his stickum' powers during American Son. Not how Stan Lee imagined it being used, but awesome regardless. In Grim Hunt, after Spider-Man has been pushed to his limit, he presses his hand to Sasha Kravinoff's face and uses his wall-crawling ability to rip the skin off. This is a parallel to Spidey's imperfect clone, Kaine, whose spider-powers are amplified and twisted; back in the '90s comics, before his Heel–Face Turn in modern times, Kaine uses his gripping power to burn his handprint into his murder victims' faces, leaving scars from the crisscross patterns of the lines of his hand (the so-called "Mark of Kaine"). |

SpongeBob SquarePants: SpongeBob has had his face ripped off a few times, the first and most memorable example being in "Squid on Strike" where after getting fired from the Krusty Krab, the third time Squidward pries him off of the doors, his entire front is gone revealing his skeleton and circulatory system. In "Doing Time" when SpongeBob and Patrick come up to Mrs. Puff revealing themselves to be disguised as prison guards, they walk away and two real guards appear. Mrs. Puff accuses them of being SpongeBob and "that guy who likes the chili" and rips off their faces, at which point they decide she's gone completely insane. In "Spy Buddies" when everyone is revealing themselves to be someone else in disguise, SpongeBob rips off Squidward's face revealing his flesh. He then angrily takes his face back and walks away. In "Don't Look Now" when Squidward is stalking SpongeBob and Patrick dressed as the fisherman from the Slasher Movie they saw, Patrick gets the hook from Squidward's fishing rod stuck in his face. When he goes into SpongeBob's house and the fishing line gets caught in the door, Patrick tries so hard to break free that his face comes off, revealing his skull underneath. He grows a new one by simply stretching the skin on his forehead over his skull. In "Stuck on the Roof" when Squidward's face gets stuck to the grill, his face gets ripped off and sticks to it when he pries himself loose. It's fairly more graphic than the "Spy Buddies" example. |

One of the villains in Hellboy (2004) is a cybernetic Nazi Mad Scientist named Karl Ruprecht Kroenen, who, we're told, became addicted to surgery and amputated most of his own face. We only briefly see what he looks like under his gas mask, but it's very nasty. This is in contrast to Kroenen's characterization in the comics, where he wore the gas mask at all times due to an intense case of germophobia, and there was never any indication that there was anything especially wrong with his face. |

The obvious example is Face/Off, in which Sean Archer and Castor Troy, for contrived reasons, end up surgically switching faces (and taking each other's places). After Castor wakes up and finds himself missing his face, when his cronies abduct Dr. Walsh and bring him to the Walsh Institute, Castor is briefly shown walking around without a face (literally, briefly - for the most part we only see Castor's shadow or shots of him from behind where the damage can't be seen, until Castor claps and says "Bra-fucking-vo!" upon seeing the conclusion of the videotape of the surgery. There is also a scene when Archer-as-Troy, high on a massive dose of drugs he had to take to keep up his cover, goes off on a rant about how he is going to take Archer's "...face... off! His eyes, his nose, his... mouth... off!" which manages to creep out even Troy's jaded goons. |

The Avengers: In Uncanny Avengers, the Death-Seed resurrected (and completely insane) Sentry did this, in excruciating detail - even ripping away everything bar his eyes and brain and continuing to communicate telepathically - while giving Thor a Breaking Speech and a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. Since the Sentry's powers include de facto immortality and a Healing Factor that makes things like being disintegrated mere passing inconveniences, this is not entirely surprising. | |

Do you know why Strong Bad from Homestar Runner never removes his "mask?" It is actually his face. Shortly after getting a new chair, Strong Bad got an email asking him to remove his mask; he does, but the experience was incredibly painful to him (and we thankfully do not see anything because of his chair blocking everything). | |

Family Guy: Peter does this to Chris in a Cutaway Gag when telling his friends about how he is better than Chris at everything, even magic tricks. In "Grumpy Old Man" Peter thinks that one of the residents of the retirement home is Old Man Withers, owner of the amusement park, and tries to unmask him and find out who he really is. After finding a skeleton, Peter refuses to give the man his face back and tells him he is going to jail. This happened to Chris again in another episode; while impersonating a corpse he took from the morgue, it turned out the man had gave his body to science and a part of him is given to a girl whose face was torn off by a chimp (see below in Real Life). In "Connie's Celica", while trying to clear Lois's name after she's arrested for murder, Peter figures that he and Brian are basically Shaggy and Scooby-Doo and goes around ripping off random people's faces to find the real killer. |

In Repo! The Genetic Opera this happens to Amber Sweet during the song "Blame Not My Cheeks", thanks to a botched surgery. It's also her brother Pavi's MO. He seems to have done it to himself at some point, as underneath his masks his face is skinned muscle, but the masks themselves are the faces of women he's murdered. He even buys the face that fell off his sister in the above mentioned scene at the end of the movie, to wear "with pride". |

Transformers: Overlord does this near the end of The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers - since this came out after Revenge of the Fallen, cue fandom yelling the page quote. Vos from Transformers: More than Meets the Eye is a bizarre inversion— he removes his own face, which is actually more like a mask lined with numerous spikes, drills, and other painful implements, and forces it over someone else's face as a means of torture. Optimus Prime does this to Ultra Magnus in Transformers: Shattered Glass. Before you're too horrified by that mental image, note that this is a Mirror Universe where the Autobots are the bad guys and Optimus Prime is an evil, megalomaniacal dick—one who could put the Megatron of our universe to shame when it comes to really being cruel. |
