This is the unsettling variety of blue eyes given to particularly degenerate and creepy characters. They tend to be either sort of light and watery, extremely pale, or the type that seems to be too open, to the point where one starts to hope they'll blink soon. This may overlap with Icy Blue Eyes, for certain types of creeps.

No real life examples, please; calling real people "creepy" is rude at best, and so many people have blue eyes that we'd be here all day.

Examples of Creepy Blue Eyes include:

Anime and Manga

Film

Literature

  • Jonathan Teatime in Hogfather has one blue eye. With a pinpoint pupil. And he's completely Ax Crazy.
  • The last Kingpriest of Istar from the Dragonlance series of novels is a Knight Templar and is described as having watery blue eyes.
  • Kell Tainer in the X Wing Series is mentioned to have very pale blue eyes, very slightly too dark and narrow to make him look like a madman. If this actually meant anything, the author was fairly subtle about it, but it does seem odd. Hardly anyone in the series has eye colors mentioned.
  • Ter Borcht in Maximum Ride has "pale, watery blue eyes"...and repeatedly states that the flock are overdue to be terminated.
  • Professional Killer Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men has eyes that are described as the color of Lapis and are supposedly very unsettling.
  • Roose and Ramsay Bolton in A Song of Ice and Fire are described as having pale blue eyes.
    • The Others/White Walkers and their wights, however, very definitely have blue eyes, and they are very creepy.
  • Kennit of Robin Hobbs's Realm of the Elderlings has very pale blue eyes. He thinks they make him look weak; others find them unsettling.
  • In Empire of the Petal Throne, blue eyes are considered this by definition, due to being highly uncommon and to being associated (at least in legend) with witchcraft. That said, Tlayesha in The Man of Gold subverts the trope.
  • Felix's right eye in Doctrine of Labyrinths is a pale, cloudy blue. Even the people who don't think it's of the occult variety think it's more than a little creepy. Though as it turns out, it's almost completely blind.

Live-Action TV

  • Castiel from Supernatural has the pretty-but-scary variety. Would you just fricking blink, already?
  • In The Vampire Diaries, Damon Salvatore has startling blue eyes, which further adds to his creepiness.

Video Games

  • Alex Mercer from Prototype has very pale, very creepy blue eyes. They're his most noticeable characteristic. Indeed, early teasers and concept art indicate that piercing, creepy blue eyes were part of Alex's design from the first iterations onward. A trailer depicts his irises glinting from beneath his hood's shadow and his shapeshift sequence changing every aspect of his body, leaving his eyes until last.
  • In BlazBlue, the eyes of Robot Girl Mu-12. Especially in contrast to the red eyes of Nu-13 (who was an Emotionless Girl but became a Yandere if Ragna was about) and the hidden eyes of their predecessor, Lambda-11 (who was treated as an Empty Shell), but most of all, compared to Noel's green eyes, until she was Mind Raped and forcefully converted (or finished being built by some arguments) into Mu-12.
  • Both Saren Arterius and The Illusive Man of the Mass Effect series have these, and in both cases it foreshadows that they've been unknowingly indoctrinated by the Reapers, and at the end of the first and third games you have the option to make them realize this and convince them to kill themselves to get out of it.
