Reverse eldritch horror gotta be a genre somewhere
I've seen a Twilight Zone episode like that. Woman is coming out of surgery and her entire head is wrapped in bandages, and when they take them off it reveals a beautiful human.... To the horror of the other people in the room who are hideous aliens!
The Eye Of The Beholder
