This photograph, if I remember correctly, is from the film The Exorcist, the original part.
I have seen many horror movies, but I find this facial profile scariest. They didn’t go overboard with the make up. She looks possessed. She hasn’t herself become the demon. There are a few other things that make her scary: first of all, you can relate to the story, and everything gradually happens. People in this movie look so real. So everything in it becomes real. There are no exploding faces, bleeding eyes, people gorging people and turning them into zombies. There is this dark room, the girl is tied to the bed, and everything, even the exorcism, happens in that room.
Another thing that gives you the creeps is that this face has an attitude: you can actually see the devil looking at you through the ravaged face. Among all the scary movies, this still remains my most favorite scary face.
