Live Poll: Creepy Smiles

The list page: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls029504861/
What is on the list page: “Glee! What happy guys ... NOT!!! Which one of these has the creepiest smile ever to appear in movies or made for television movies? To suggest another image (with an address to the image) , post here. Say cheese for the camera.”
What is not on the list page is this:1) consider the address bit a must. Otherwise, your suggestion will not be considered.
2) The challenge in creating this list was to make each image get progressively more creepier and sinester leading up to the climax Lon Chaney in “London After Midnight” and Conrad Veidt in “The Man Who Laughs”. Did it work?

Both ways but the image has to have a smiling face.

You said movies and TV movies only, but this is the one I thought of immediately, so I thought I'd share just for fun:

I’ll finish going through your stuff later. A lot of good ones there. But won’t use Tilda. I think I had found a creeper one for Chucky and put him on the list. Do you approve?

But since you had you had used one with a mask., how about these smiling masks?

Not a fan of of the masks you picked, but it's your poll so... :)

Chucky's fine.

I picked the other Tilda because it is not at all the look she usually has, and it's so fake it's frightening. I think there is room for both but, again, not my poll. :)

I would separate Veidt and Chaney since they look really similar.

I suggest removing "Glee" from your intro. I think it's just confusing and I immediately thought of the TV show Glee.

I’m done adding what I’m going to add of yours. I got admit that on some of them, what made the smile so creepy was the eyes on them, especially “Truth Or Dare”, Coraline” and “The Forrest”. Well done Jen. Thank you.

Hi, Silitonga. The suggestions are wonderful, but I wish there was closeup of the smile for the first two, since those two wide-angle shots are so graphic and disturbing, especially for people who know the caption that goes with them.

Perhaps you could exclude the ones that are already in that poll?

No. Why? The selections on this list were made without help or knowledge of his. But I did give recognition to his list and I do think it does say something as to what was truly creepy when two lists agree those were creepy.
He does have a few good ones that I wish I could use here but they are now off limits unless I do list them and give him credit for the ones picked after this. Not for the ones before.
Besides, I think this list is creepier. It has masks! Could do a list on masks too! The purge films, Spectre, the Mask, The Halloween movies, Smiley, Phantom Of The Opera, E.T., “The Nightmare Before Christmas” , “Amadeus”, and “Eyes Wide Shut” all have masks in them.

Movies and made for TV movies. Ergo, The Walking Dead is out. As for the TV Caesar Romero’s Joker, no, unless the picture is from the Batman movie.

1) I wanted basically memorable one time events, which movies basically are, that stand out.
2) if I had tried to include TV series shows, this list would have been fullwith two seconds how many there are from Mr. Moonie’s smile on the Lucille O’Ball show, to all the villains on Batman, to the Munsters, to The Addams Family, the tv list is endless. They were often shown multipal Times.
3) I needed a limiting factor.

You're so good at coming up with creative replacement to just "discuss here." "Say cheese for the camera" is so good. :D I'm always noticing that about your polls. 'Good poll, btw: such creepy images. 

May I suggest removing the note after that (the second paragraph) and placing that on this thread (and possibly to be added to the original post by Peter or Dan) instead? Although I think keeping the link to Peaspot's poll on your list itself is a nice idea: perhaps move the whole paragraph to this thread but then leave something like "Vote on more creepy smiles here" on your list. Among other reasons, it seems voters don't usually like to read a lot, which is a shame but it might attract more voters.

That is how crazy my schedule has been at work in order to prepare for Black Friday, (in fact the Monday before Thanksgiving), and Cyber Monday, and the Christmas season.
