What are you going on about? Something with an expression that resembles a smile but which is clearly not smiling has always been considered unsettling.

Something that looks like it's smiling but isn't is distressing. It has to do with it giving off facial signals, but still having no idea what it's thinking.

There's a deep, instinctive and entirely animal fear of something that always has its teeth bared. It's a sign of aggression.

Us humans are a strange bunch, aren't we? In the animal kingdom bearing your teeth a universal sign of agression, but only among humans can it be a sign of kindness or submission.

Skeletons aren't really smiling though.

It's more of a neutral stare.

Maybe I'm crazy but they look like they're smiling to me. I always assumed that's why Jolly Roger was called Jolly.

That skeleton looks more droopy and sad from that perspective.

The buck teeth really does not help.
