A yellow face screaming in fear, depicted by wide, white eyes, a long, open mouth, hands pressed on cheeks, and a pale&nbsp;blue forehead, as if it has lost its color. Its expression evokes Edvard Munch&rsquo;s iconic painting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream">The Scream</a>.

While intended to represent horror and fright, it commonly conveys such feelings as shock, awe, disbelief, and intense excitement, as a screaming fan.

Samsung&rsquo;s design <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/face-screaming-in-fear/">previously featured</a> a <a href="/ghost/">ghost</a> flying from its mouth. <a href="/weary-cat/">🙀&nbsp;Weary Cat Face</a> bears a similar expression.

Face Screaming in Fear

A yellow face with its hands over its eyes and raised eyebrows. One wide eye is peeking through the fingers.

Anguished Face

Bears the same expression as <a href="/anguished-face/">😧&nbsp;Anguished Face</a> on most platforms.
