What's up with his tentacled face? Why tentacles?

This is a feature that was written in the the screenplay...
""According to the screenplay, Jones was once a man but has spent so long at the bottom of the sea that he literally has absorbed it — not as wrinkly pool fingers but in the same way that a sunken ship fuses with the sea life around it.
Not only is Jones' beard a tangle of squid tentacles and burping bladders, he also has other creepy characteristics. Instead of a traditional pirate hook, his left hand is a giant crustacean claw, and his peg-leg has been replaced by a pointy crab leg.
Says artist Crash McCreery, who did all the concept sketches for the characters: "I didn't want it to be a creature movie. It still needed to reference lore and have artifacts from pirate life.""

I guess to make him look like part of the sea. Like with his crew, as Bootstrap Bill said you don't just work on the ship, you're made of it. Maybe the same principle applies to Davy Jones. He can control the whole sea, so naturally he's become the creatures that live in the sea.
Or maybe it has something to do with the Kraken, he can control the Kraken and it has tentacles. Maybe we'll find out more in the third movie.

Because he's spookier than Peter Tork the pirate!
No, really...
It was important to make Davy an otherworldy presence, and the tentacles make him seem a lil' more --- supernatural.

Showing off cool new advancements in special effects, I guess the more intricate the better.
