Faces I can interpret:

    :(   #sadface
    :()  #dopefish
    { :  #smiling one-toothed vampire
    { :| #blank stare with hat
    :|   #blank stare without hat
    |:   #other blank stare without hat
    |:&  #blank stare with bow
    };   #winking face with mustache
    };:  #winking four-eyed alien face with mustache
Only one of those was a smile, and you generally don't want a vampire smiling at you even if they're down a tooth! ;)
