Pale skin and dark sunken eyes are generally associated with illness, disease, virus, plague and the like which our ancestors have learned to fear "like a plague"
Anything with sharp teeth or fangs would usually be predatory in nature and would have likely killed several of our ancestors.
I don't know if "fear" is the best way to describe our reaction to elongated faces (and other deformities). We as a species are instinctively driven to reproduce with what we consider the "best" genetic specimens, thus deformities produce an instinctive revulsion reaction not fear.
TL:dr Your subconscious mind sees a creature running at you; dark sunken eyes, pale skin [it might be carrying a contagious disease, do not want]; Sharp teeth/fangs [predator, I don't like predators since I'm made of meat]; weird deformity [ew] ; conclusion: (activating fight or flight response) I do not want this thing near me.

Last time I checked, pyramid head doesn't have eyes. He is too busy dealing with having a HUGE ASS FUCKING METAL PYRAMID FOR A HEAD.
What is scary about pyramid head is his presence being constant, as well as the fact that, as the player has seen, he is dangerous. Another thing is he doesn't have enough human features. When you see him, at first you see a fucked up human with a hat but as you look more and more, the less human he seems. So therefore, his lack of human-ness, like many monsters in the Silent Hill series, scares the player, and disturbs them and makes them lose hours of sleep because they murdered their wife when she was terminally ill and forgot so now the pyramid head is after THEM even though pyramid head is specific to JAMES and JAMES ONLY.
Thank you for reading my shit.

Pale skin and sunken eyes are the traits of human corpses. Death frightens us but we're continually attracted to it, which is why we still like horror movies.

Those aren't "classic" horror movie icons, dumb fuck.
Freddy, Jason, Micheal, PInhead... Those are classic horror movie icons.

Pale skin=Dead people. We naturally fear and do our best to avoid death.
Sharp teeth=Predators, which is a danger to us.
Dark=Because we have no idea what the fuck is going when we are in the dark. We naturally fear being helpless and not knowing what is happening and not being able to defend ourselves.
As for sunken eyes and elongated face, maybe they are just fucking wierd?

Pale skin, long face, sunken eyes. Pefect example is "Jeff the Killer". A fictional character of a creepy story.

This creepy pasta is fairly old, I've seen it more times than just those two on this channel. We've come to the consensus that humans instinctively fear those traits because we associate them with corpses, with death. The face draws tight and the eyes sink in to the skull, making it look aetherial. The blood drains from the skin, making it pale. The fingers warp, the nails grow sharp and ugly. The gums recede and make the teeth look more bestial. It makes a whole lot of sense, if you think about what a corpse looks like over time during its decay/mummification.

Yes, because Xenomorphs are incredibly white/pale. OP has obviously never seen the Alien movies.
