Pointy
This tumblr thread contains a great many links to different short horror stories, and I read several of them yesterday. Which didn’t in itself keep me from sleeping; what made me lie awake for a time was how many of them contained the image of a human or human-looking person who smiles to reveal that their teeth have been filed to points.
It’s probably a fairly common horror trope, but I don’t recall seeing it in so many stories in the same day:

‘I Uncovered The Disturbing Truth Behind A Haunted Film, And I Really Wish I Hadn’t’ Joel Farrelly, 2015
Her teeth were filed to cannibal points.
‘1408’ Stephen King, 1999
Its teeth had been filed to sharp points.
‘I’m On My Deathbed So I’m Coming Clean: Here’s The Gruesome Truth About What Happened To My First Wife’ M.J. Pack, 2018
Or maybe they’re filed to points, Kinnell thought. Maybe he’s supposed to be a cannibal.
‘The Road Virus Heads North’ Stephen King, 1999 (I suppose King may have just had pointy teeth on his mind in 1999)

"OUCH! OW!" (spits blood)(Dentist sighs wearily. It's always the same with these people.)

As someone with naturally very pointy eyeteeth, which never got "fixed," I have been able to actually spook people with them sometimes. Heh.
