Disfigurement is what happens when a person gets jacked up. For purposes of this database, disfigurement differs from deformity, which represents a defect of birth. This is not to say that those born with birth defects cannot be disfigured later.

If you look to your right, you will see an image of disfigurement of epic proportions. That sad bastard is one Mister Emil M. Antonowsky from the 1987 film RoboCop. Now Emil was a bad guy, who thought he could make his life easier by running Robo down with a van. Instead, the idget hits a vat of toxic chemicals that gets all over him, and well... you see what happened. Needless to say, Emil did not live long after his home makeover.

Examples[]

  • Annabelle: Creation: Esther Mullins suffers a severe facial deformity after being attacked by the Annabelle demon. She covers it up with a mask.
  • Edward Scissorhands: The eponymous scissor-handed hero of the 1990 film Edward Scissorhands had scars all across his face, which was no doubt caused by accidentally slicing himself with his hands.
  • Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers: The characters of both Michael Myers and Sam Loomis suffered from severe third-degree burns as a result of events that took place in Halloween II. Myers is shown with a scarred hand and his head is bandaged in the beginning of the film. Loomis walks with a limp, has severe burns on his hands and face and has lacerations across his scalp.
  • House of Wax: Henry Jarrod is greatly disfigured as a result of a fire set by his business partner, Matthew Burke, at their wax museum.
  • Phantom of the Opera (1943): Enrique Claudin is horribly disfigured after having some acid thrown into his face. Forced to wear a mask, he is driven insane and begins terrorizing the Paris Opera House as the "Phantom" of the Opera.
