This she-troper calls it the 'River-Tam'I-can-Kill-You-With-My-Brain'-face'. She uses it to get people to quit heckling her, and watching them pale slightly and shrink away is beautiful.

This troper is a petite, quiet, shy, PaleSkinnedBrunette, nice girl. She is also a master of the Kubrick stare. She can scare people simply by tilted her face downward and looking up, from under her eyebrows. When she incorporates a snarl or grimace you better run for it.

This troper's best friend is a subversion - he's the nicest and most easygoing guy you will ever meet, but his default facial expression is a Kubrick Stare. It doesn't help that he's quiet and never breaks eye contact, so he comes across as scary to anyone who doesn't know him. This troper has been known to deliberately employ it, usually to scare off people trying to pick a fight.

This troper has a cat that often makes a face that combines this expression with PuppyDogEyes... I assume it's either hungry, or plotting to kill me...

This troper figured out as a kid that this look done right can get people to pay attention... I'm not sure where I saw it first, but I remember practicing it.

This troper apparently had this expression a lot as a very little kid. I'm sure I didn't ''intend'' to evoke this trope...

This Italian troper found this on a 2009 magazine. The article was about the many defects of our Prime Minister (the title was ''If this is a premier''), so the KubrickStare was more than appropriate. Fortunately ItGotWorse in one and a half year.

This troper has a friend that ocassionally does a very creepy variant of this. Needless to say, AClockworkOrange is one of his favourite movies.

This troper finds himself a lot more attractive when tilting the head down. Might be the eyes. He never had any feedback besides his own.

This troper has a DeathGlare made partially with this.

This troper range of facial expressions was limited to "Kubrick Stare" throughout high school.

This troper's younger brother would do it all the time, just to freak her out. He would then corner her some where, and keep it up while she freaked out. He's gotten better over the years, but when it just switches into the Kubrick after being in a perfectly jovial mood is utterly frightening...

My younger friend can do this at will, and while she's normally a very cute person, it's very disconcerting to suddenly see this. Although, it's usually not directed at any of her friends, rather, we ask her to show us. (Although I believe her father frequently get's it from her because of his teases.)

This troper, due to the shape of her eyebrows, tends to give this any time she looks up at someone. Since she's rather shy and turns her face downward often, this expression turns up more often than she'd rather. It's not on purpose, really!

HilarityEnsues whenever this troper does this. However, it becomes less menacing and more cute... apparently.

Ah. Whenever I do it, it just looks silly. I guess I just don't have the pointy face for it.

This troper's mother has this as a teaching device. She looks out from under both her glasses and her eyebrows. She calls it her "teacher's glare".

This troper went to college with a rather unbalanced fellow who could be caught Kubrick Staring with alarming frequency (also frequently caught beating off under the table in the cafeteria). He later went on to be arrested for threatening to shoot up another college and then turn the gun on himself the night after the Virginia Tech Massacre.

This troper combines the Kubrick Stare with a right-drifting lazy eye. Due to developing muscle control over said eye, it ''only'' drifts when my eyes are no longer in focus, which usually means I'm very close to losing my shit.

This troper uses the Kubrick Stare almost reflexively when I'm angry. Once, when I was pissed at some guys in my Intro to Tech class, I got one of them to comment that I "look really fucking scary when [I] stare at people like that".

This troper has a tendency to do this almost as a default expression, regardless of emotion. Unless I'm happy, in which case it's improved to... a SlasherSmile. Or several {{Evil Laugh}}s that start as this before my head's tilted up. I tend to unnerve or scare people.

After seeing the Disney version of Hercules as a small kid this troper tried to imitate the centaur villain's really heavy eyebrows, just because they looked funny at the time. In doing so he accidentally taught his face to develop a Kubrick Stare which, according to his friends who have seen it, as actually pretty terrifying.

This troper's former history teacher unintentionally did it a few times in class. Resulted in being as far from scary as possible.

This troper's "YouHaveFailedMe" look is the "Glower Over Glasses" variant of this.

This troper tends to do a Kubrick Stare a lot, usually when he's annoyed or forced to look up from what he's doing, but sometimes he does it for fun. One day this troper went to get his ID as an eighteenth birthday present, and had to wait at the DMV for four hours. He hadn't been to sleep or had anything to eat so, needless to say, he was more than a little cranky(ready to throw trashcans and start fights with random people) when the time finally came to get his picture taken. The sweet old lady at the counter told me to smile, and....well.... I did my best. After I got my ID, everyone who looked at it commented on how I looked like a rapist serial killer with my disheveled hair and evil smirk. Sometimes I make the face when buying cigarettes, just so the person behind the counter can have a laugh(or a cry) at my expense.

I tend to do this unconsciously, sometimes with a SlasherSmile on my face, very often when I'm involved in an intense roleplay session, online or irl, or when I'm coding some particularly nasty surprises for players. And people find it enthralling to watch, though I don't notice until I come out of my own little world and wake up to the people around me. I get this all the time when I share my 'laboratory space' with someone, which is wherever I park my computer, and a few times at BDSM play parties.

A friend of mine does something like this when she's pretending to be suspicious of me, though it's subverted since she does it while smirking, which ends up being unintentionally sexy...

I love to do this stare everytime, everywhere. Needless to say, you know this stare can make you feel like a MagnificentBastard. Or in extreme cases, instantly turn you into one.

This troper is fond of combining this with a SlasherSmile, a fairly disturbing EvilLaugh and an OminousWalk when he wants to terrify someone. The last time I pulled it on someone, I overheard them the next day telling someone that they were scared I would break into their house that night and stab them. That said, the real time to be worried is when the stare drops. If that happens... run.

This troper finds it extremely difficult to have her picture taken and not do this while combining it with SlasherSmile. That combined with her natural EvilLaugh and a boatload of Fruedian Excuses serve to convince her that she should have become a supervillain.

Apparently This Troper's junior yearbook picture, which some people claimed was seductive.

It... doesn't work with this troper. His glasses are sort of oblong, and quite high up, so I can't really do either of the variations...

This troper often uses this look and a lot of people he knows call it his DeathGlare

In my whole year group school photo, the timing of the cameraman means I am pulling this expression. My friend had hysterics when she saw it, citing the fact that I looked like a demon among all the normal smiling people.
