Come to me .... and live forever.
Well, the obvious answer is that the mask is what his mouth really looks like, with the lips and cheeks torn off to expose the teeth and gums. I think Murphy even said it was based in part on urban legend, which makes me think of the glasgow smile, Black Dahlia, etc. (even though they already covered Dahlia in season one.)

There's actually a Japanese urban legend about the "slit-mouthed woman" who appears at night wearing a surgical mask, asking people if they think she's pretty. If they reply no, they get stabbed with scissors, but if they reply yes, she removes the mask to reveal her mouth is ripped ear to ear (at which point she asks again, and saying yes leads to her carving your face in a similar manner.)

I'm assuming there's a good reason they set it in a town that actually exists instead of just making one up? Looking at the Wiki page for Jupiter there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable about it.

It's not like people outside of that area associate Jupiter with any sort of aesthetic or culture (like setting something like Coven in NOLA would).

I wonder if that's like seeing your hometown used constantly in movies, but never actually as your hometown? Mine gets featured every once in a while, but always as some fake town said to be miles away from where it actually is, even in other states. It's a pretty cute little New Mexican town, so I guess it gets to represent the entire Southwest.

But I guess that must just be how people in Toronto and Southern California feel literally every time they view media, so I'm not complaining or anything. I just think it's interesting.

Also, it's time!
