* The original example is, of course, [[ShapedLikeItself Cesare]], Conrad Veidt's BrainwashedAndCrazy sleepwalker character from ''Film/TheCabinetOfDrCaligari'', a silent film made in 1919 Germany. Interestingly enough, he is specifically stated in the shooting script to be wearing makeup ''in-story'' to achieve the effect. However, it should be noted that the archetype of a skinny, pale-skinned, ill-looking character all dressed in black can be found already in romantic literature of the 19th century (generally as a [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghost]] or a LivingMemory).
* In ''Film/PhantomOfTheParadise'', Swan's malleable musical minions in their guise as proto-Goth Music/{{Alice Cooper}}alikes 'The Undeads' are dressed in glitter-rock versions of Cesare's outfit, with diamantés added to the all black tights+tunic ensemble. The lead in particular has almost identical makeup to Conrad Veidt's, and the stage is decked out in the style of the sets from Dr. Caligari.
* Marla from ''Film/FightClub''.
* Batman in ''Film/TheBatman2022'', especially after he takes his cowl off.
* ''Film/TheCrow'', who doesn't just have pale skin but also white facepaint.
* Sadako Yamamura and her American counterpart Samara Morgan from ''Film/TheRing'' movies.
* Kayako and Toshio Saeki from the ''Film/{{Juon}}'' movies and ''Film/TheGrudge'' (the American remake series).
* Creator/TimBurton ''loves'' this trope, probably because he looks that way himself. A lot of these characters are played by Creator/JohnnyDepp in his movies.
** ''Film/EdwardScissorhands''
** ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet''. Mrs. Lovett looks like a female Cesare, too.
** Victor Van Dort (another Johnny Depp character) from ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride''.
** Even Lydia Deetz of ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' has a touch of this trope. She's an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette to start with, her hair is worn in a peculiar updo that defies gravity and frizzes out all over the place, and her eyes are a bit sunken. That last part is particularly noticeable when she's wearing her big black hat. In the [[WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}} cartoon]], though, she just wears a lot of eye makeup.
** Creator/CrispinGlover as the Knave of Hearts in Tim Burton's ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'' fits every criterion except for the scraggly hair. (His hair ''is'' long and dark, though.)
** Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp yet again) in ''Film/DarkShadows''. (Alice Cooper as well.)
** The Penguin from ''Film/BatmanReturns'' looks like a cross between Cesare and [[LooksLikeOrlok Orlok]].
* Dr. Frank-N-Furter in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''
* Santi, the UndeadChild from ''Film/TheDevilsBackbone''.
* Arguably, Pavi Largo from ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' is a more well-groomed example.
* ''Film/DevilDoll'''s very own Mr. Doctor is pretty much this.
* [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] was based upon the silent film version of ''Film/TheManWhoLaughs.'' The actor portraying title character in ''that'' movie also played Cesare. So, it's hardly coincidence that the Joker is often given Cesare's dark, sunken-in eyelids.
** It probably has even more to do with the fact that they aimed for maximum contrasts in the old-style silent films; even completely ordinary people in those movies tend to look like Cesare from the modern perspective.
*** So how would the actor portraying The Joker in the 1966 ''Series/Batman1966'' series fit in? His name was Creator/CesarRomero...
** There was once an episode of ''Series/GilligansIsland'' that {{lampshade|Hanging}}d the odd appearance of silent-movie makeup. The gang find an old trunk containing a movie camera and some old-style costumes, and decide to make some silent films with Thurston Howell III as director. We see the characters performing on a silent screen in black and white....but then we see them in color, and their makeup ''really'' stands out. They all look pale, effeminate, and [[UncannyValley kind of plastic, like mannequins]].
* ''Film/DeadPresidents'', Allen and Albert Hughes's follow-up film to ''Film/MenaceIISociety'', was notorious for a lengthy sequence in which an embittered Vietnam vet and a couple of his friends rob a federal reserve bank in New York while sporting frightening corpse paint. Freddy Rodriguez's face paint is particularly creepy; the fact that [[TheHyena he cackles madly after blowing up a bank truck]] certainly doesn't help.
* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': Brad Dourif as Wormtongue fits.
* Nancy looked like this at the end of ''Film/TheCraft''.
* Craig Toomey from ''Film/TheLangoliers'', at least in the movie version, done to imply lack of sleep from {{flanderiz|ation}}ed [[ExaggeratedTrope up to eleven Type A personality]].
* When [[Film/{{Thor}} Loki]] [[spoiler: materializes out of the portal opened by the Tesseract]] at the beginning of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', his eyes are sunken to an extreme degree, and his hair is even more mussed and stringy than usual.

* [[Film/TheBabadook The Babadook]] looks like this, during the [[FreezeFrameBonus brief moment you see his face.]]
* Otto from ''Film/OttoOrUpWithDeadPeople'' looks like this, although his hairstyle is rather sleek instead of shaggy, he has the black hair, pale-white skin, dark rings under his eyes and black clothing to pull the look off.
* [[Creator/UmaThurman Mia Wallace]] in ''Film/PulpFiction'' looks like this after her drug overdose.
* [[spoiler:Kylo Ren]] looks like this in ''Film/TheForceAwakens''.
* The eponymous [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Winter Soldier]] looks like this most of the time, whether it's the [[InsistentTerminology black camouflage eye paint]] at night or the unhealthy pallor and visible dark circles during the day. [[spoiler:He's a rare example who's TheDreaded ''and'' TheWoobie, both via [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing]].]]
* Credence from ''Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'', who's clearly TheWoobie [[spoiler: and also, it turns out, a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds]].
* The Other Mother from ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'' starts off looking like Coraline's real mother (except for the lack of a neck brace and ''having black buttons for eyes''). Over the course of the film however, her features become more and more exaggerated. She switches from her real world counterpart's sweater and pants to a black and white-dotted dress, red collar and red shoes. When Coraline starts to defy her, the Other Mother shifts to a less human form, becoming taller and more skeletal. In the film's climax, her true form is shown with a mechanical/spider-like appearance with white, cracked-porcelain skin and hands made of sewing needles.
* The Enchantress from ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'', at least until she [[spoiler: regains her stolen heart and reclaims her true power]].
* Bruce Wayne in ''Film/TheBatman2022'', partially because he puts black make-up around his eyes to match his cowl, but mostly because of the physical and psychological toll of being a nocturnal crime-fighting vigilante.

%%* Film/TheBabadook looks like this, during the [[FreezeFrameBonus brief moment you see his face]].%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample
* Bruce Wayne in ''Film/TheBatman2022'', partially because he puts black make-up around his eyes to match his cowl, but mostly because of the physical and psychological toll of being a nocturnal crime-fighting vigilante.
* The Penguin from ''Film/BatmanReturns'' looks like a cross between Cesare and [[LooksLikeOrlok Orlok]].
* Lydia Deetz of ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' has a touch of this trope. She's an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette to start with, her hair is worn in a peculiar updo that defies gravity and frizzes out all over the place, and her eyes are a bit sunken. That last part is particularly noticeable when she's wearing her big black hat. In the [[WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}} cartoon]], though, she just wears a lot of eye makeup.
* The [[TropeMakers original example]] is, of course, Cesare, Conrad Veidt's BrainwashedAndCrazy sleepwalker character from ''Film/TheCabinetOfDrCaligari''. Interestingly enough, he is specifically stated in the shooting script to be wearing makeup ''in-story'' to achieve the effect. However, it should be noted that the archetype of a skinny, pale-skinned, ill-looking character all dressed in black can be found already in romantic literature of the 19th century (generally as a [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghost]] or a LivingMemory).
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'': The eponymous Winter Soldier looks like this most of the time, whether it's the [[InsistentTerminology black camouflage eye paint]] at night or the unhealthy pallor and visible dark circles during the day. [[spoiler:He's a rare example who's TheDreaded ''and'' TheWoobie, both via [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing]].]]
%%* Nancy looked like this at the end of ''Film/TheCraft''.%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample
* ''Film/TheCrow'': Eric has not only pale skin but also white face paint.
%%* Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp yet again) in ''Film/DarkShadows''. (Alice Cooper as well.)%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample
* ''Film/DeadPresidents'' was notorious for a lengthy sequence in which an embittered Vietnam vet and a couple of his friends rob a federal reserve bank in New York while sporting frightening corpse paint. Freddy Rodriguez's face paint is particularly creepy; the fact that [[TheHyena he cackles madly after blowing up a bank truck]] certainly doesn't help.

%%* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': Brad Dourif as Wormtongue fits.%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample
* [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] was based upon the silent film version of ''Literature/TheManWhoLaughs''. Incidentally, the title character is ''also'' played by Creator/ConradVeidt, so it's hardly coincidence that the Joker is often given Cesare's dark, sunken-in eyelids.
* Otto from ''Film/OttoOrUpWithDeadPeople'' looks like this, although his hairstyle is rather sleek instead of shaggy, he has the black hair, pale-white skin, dark rings under his eyes and black clothing to pull the look off.
* In ''Film/PhantomOfTheParadise'', Swan's malleable musical minions in their guise as proto-Goth Music/AliceCooper lookalikes 'The Undeads' are dressed in glitter-rock versions of Cesare's outfit, with diamantés added to the all-black tights-and-tunic ensemble. The lead in particular has almost identical makeup to Conrad Veidt's, and the stage is decked out in the style of the sets from Dr. Caligari.
* ''Film/PulpFiction'': Mia Wallace looks like this after her drug overdose.
%%* Arguably, Pavi Largo from ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' is a more well-groomed example.%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample
%%* Sadako Yamamura and her American counterpart Samara Morgan from ''Literature/TheRing'' movies.%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample
%%* Dr. Frank-N-Furter in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample
* The Enchantress from ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'', at least until she [[spoiler: regains her stolen heart and reclaims her true power]].
%%* ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet''. Mrs. Lovett looks like a female Cesare, too.%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample
%%* ''Film/TheThreeStooges'': Nikko in the short ''Who Done It?'' is obviously based on Cesare.%%Administrivia/ZeroContentExample

* There was once an episode of ''Series/GilligansIsland'' that {{lampshade|Hanging}}d the odd appearance of silent-movie makeup. The gang find an old trunk containing a movie camera and some old-style costumes and decide to make some silent films with Thurston Howell III as director. We see the characters performing on a silent screen in black and white... but then we see them in color, and their makeup ''really'' stands out. They all look pale, effeminate, and [[UncannyValley kind of plastic, like mannequins]].
