Definition
扮鬼脸 means 'to make a face' or 'to grimace' — you contort your features to look funny, silly, or rude. It's a separable verb (离合词): the object 鬼脸 can split off when you add measure words or other elements, like 扮了个鬼脸 ('made a face'). You usually make a face at someone, so the target is introduced with 对 or 向: 对他扮鬼脸 ('make a face at him').
v.o.
