The face screaming in fear emoji is stylized to look like the artist Edvard Munch’s iconic painting, “The Scream”. The emoji has large, pupil-less eyes and the upper half of its head is shaded blue. It holds its head in its hands on each side, as if to contain its horror, and its open mouth is extended into a scream. It is primarily used to show immense shock or dismay, but usually with a slight tinge of irony or exaggeration. This slightly humorous side is compounded in Samsung’s version, which shows a tiny little ghost escaping from the screaming emoji’s mouth! The emoji is sometimes called the “Home Alone” emoji, due to the similarity between it and Macaulay Culkin’s iconic scream, which was in itself, also based on Munch’s masterpiece.
With its wide, white eyes, open mouth, and hands pressed against its cheeks, it's hard to miss the sheer emotion it conveys.. It's a universal feeling that everyone, at some point in their lives, can relate to. There is another emoji, the 🙀 Weary Cat Face that shares a similar expression.
It can express a range of emotions from awe and disbelief to intense excitement. Now, let's look at some interpretations:
Shock and Awe: Did you just hear some jaw-dropping news? Or maybe you saw something unbelievable? This emoji is perfect for those "I can't believe it!" moments.
Fanatic Fan: Are you at a concert of your favorite band? Or did your favorite team just score? Use this emoji to show your extreme excitement.
