== Anime and Manga ==
* The Mass Production EVAs from ''[[End of Evangelion]]''. It isn't a human face though. Take a snake. Paint it white. Give it massive red lips, and a big block of square teeth. Now take its eyes away. And make it constantly smile, even when having its head blown off, back snapped, stabbed through the head.
* [[Sailor Moon]] manga features a lot of moments where the characters (mostly villains) are drawn in with only eyelashes instead of the full eye. This looks quite [https://web.archive.org/web/20111104175825/http://snowdrop.hyrule.nu/Images/Antagonist_DeathBusters_Cyprine01.gif creepy].
Line 85:
* The Dementors in ''[[Harry Potter]]'' normally have their faces hidden by hoods, but are described as having faces with no eyes (only skin over where the eye sockets should be) and giant round sucking mouths.
* The aptly-named Blind Io of ''[[Discworld]]'', of which he is arguably the chief god (or once was, real estate in Dunmanifestin moves around fairly quickly). He has eyes, but they don't spend any time in his head.
** The Cunning Man from ''[[Discworld/I Shall Wear Midnight|I Shall Wear Midnight]]'' is a curious variant of this. Instead of empty sockets or smooth skin where his eyes should be, he has holes straight through his head, through which can be seen whatever is behind him. As, on the Discworld, the eyes are literally windows to the soul, this is a very bad thing indeed.
* In the future-evolution book ''After Man'', most bats have completely lost their eyes, making room on their faces for additional echolocation-enhancing folds and depressions.
* There's a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' novel called ''The Eyeless''. Although that is ''not'' the creepiest thing about the [[Hive Mind]] aliens who harvest "trophies" and absorb them into their transparent bodies. In fact, the creepiest one ''does'' [[Eyes Do Not Belong There|have eyes]].
Line 91:
* Every creature in Wayne Barlowe's ''Expedition'' is eyeless, save for one creature that sports what ''might'' be a single (retractable!) eye. Semi-subverted in the case of those species whose nostrils or breathing-spiracles are positioned so they ''resemble'' eyes.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* The Harbingers or Bringers in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' have scarred flesh instead of eyes. "Crazy alphabet eyes".
* A consequence of the horrific [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aY7XH2ulTEU Helvetica Scenario] in the first series of ''[[Look Around You]]''. In the second series of ''Look Around You'', Prince Charles falls into this category.
Line 133:
* NPCs in ''[[Suikoden Tactics]]'' who aren't important to the plot have eyeless character portraits.
* Many creatures in the ''[[Silent Hill]]'' series, if they have a face at all.
* The ''[[Pokémon]] Zubat'':
** Zubat; it needs no eyes, living in caves and getting around via echolocation. It lacks legs, too, but gets both when it evolves into Golbat.
** Deino and Zweilous from ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'' may seem to have [[Blinding Bangs]] at first glance. Until you find out that their Pokedex entries state that they have no eyes and cannot see, instead relying on their sense of smell to move around (Which Justifies their Hustle ability, increased attack power for lowered accuracy).
* In ''Skullgirls'', Peacock can classify as an eyeless face. What look like her eyes technically are fake and don't work at all, as her real eyes were gored out. The eyes on her arms are the only way she can see now that she's a cyborg.
