[[quoteright:350:[[Manga/{{Noragami}} https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yato_blue_eyes.jpg]]]]

* Griffith from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' has pale blue eyes, and while he will sometimes deliberately [[InvokedTrope use]] the InnocentBlueEyes trope to his advantage, they can turn very creepy when he wants them to.

* Diva from ''Anime/BloodPlus'' has blue eyes that sometimes glow.
* ''Manga/TheCaseStudyOfVanitas'': The humans of the Blue Moon Clan have bright blue eyes. The only two known are the titular AntiHero Vanitas and his deranged {{Yandere}} brother Mikhail.

* Kaoru Kiryuu from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'' has vacuous blue eyes. Her twin sister Michiru has vacuous [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]]. [[spoiler:Both of them get better with their HeelFaceTurn.]]
* The borderline AxCrazy Kamui from ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' and his blue eyes are combined with CreepyShadowedUndereyes.
* Johan Liebert from ''Anime/{{Monster}}'', and given the kind of man Johan is, they're ''very'' creepy.
* Yato from ''Manga/{{Noragami}}'' has light blue eyes that seem to shine in the dark. Although he's currently a subversion, he's a Calamity God and was a mass murderer in the old days.

* Japanese media in general seems to like this, perhaps because blue eyes are such a rare eye color in Japan and traditionally, in Kabuki theater, the color blue was associated with the mystical and evil characters were marked with blue.

* [[spoiler:Tommy Elliot/Hush]] from ''Batman: Melody for a Mockingbird'' is a violent sociopath whose most prominent feature is his "soulless" light blue eyes, and not just because of his BandagedFace. After [[spoiler:his face transplant to look like Bruce Wayne heals]], the eye colour is the easiest way to distinguish him as [[spoiler:the real Bruce's eyes are a darker blue.]]

* In ''Fanfic/AManOfIron'' this is the first clue that [[spoiler: the Sansa who was resurrected is not a human but the Night's Queen, leader of the Others.]]
* In ''Fanfic/{{Morphic}}'', Jacob and Isaac Daniels are both mentioned to have these; their eyes are referred to as piercing multiple times.

* The BigBad from ''Film/BeverlyHillsCop'' had the watery blue variety.
* Roy Batty from ''Film/BladeRunner''.

* Dr. Weir in his final demonic form in ''Film/EventHorizon''.

* Eddie Morra, when on his smart drug, in ''Film/{{Limitless}}''.

* One of the signs of the effect on the title character's brain in ''Film/{{Lucy}}''.

* The Headless Horseman from Creator/TimBurton's version of ''Film/SleepyHollow1999'' -- par for the course for a Creator/ChristopherWalken character.
* Dick Jones in ''Film/RoboCop1987''
* The vampires and lycans in the ''Film/Underworld2003'' series.

* [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Castiel]] from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has the pretty-but-scary variety. Would you just fricking blink, already?

* The titular Freddy Fazbear from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' has these. [[ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes Although you can't]] [[EyelessFace always see them...]]
* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' introduces a PsychopathicManChild SerialKiller named Eddie Low as this. His eyes are a piercing blue and creepy.

* Misogynistic [[SerialKiller serial killer]] Eddie Gluskin of ''VideoGame/{{Outlast}}'' has them.

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* Williams from ''Webcomic/{{Remus}}'' has these. [[TheFaceless It's pretty much his only identifiable facial feature]].
[[/folder]]

* The titular character of ''Literature/HappyAppy'' has these whenever he does his death smile.
* The [[Creator/{{Laina}} Overly Attached Girlfriend]] makes great use of hers.

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': [[CreepyChild The Delightful Children From Down The Lane]] all have these. In a series where most of the characters have [[BlackBeadEyes Black Bead Eyes]], it serves to make them [[UncannyValley even creepier]] than they already were.
* Impostor Dan from ''WesternAnimation/DanVs''.

* Impostor Dan from ''WesternAnimation/DanVs.''.

* ''Literature/IveGotYouUnderySkin'': After his father was killed, all Timmy could recall about the murderer was that he had intense blue eyes. As such, Blue Eyes became the name used to refer to killer due his identity being completely unknown. As it turns out, his eyes aren't naturally blue as he wore contacts, which adds to the uncanniness.

--->The staring - I thought that Doctor Who stare was just an actor's tool, but you've been using it on me all the time... you do have an amazing pair of eyeballs.

* Creator/CillianMurphy's portrayal of ShellShockedVeteran mob boss Thomas Shelby on ''Series/PeakyBlinders'' is enhanced greatly by his icy stare. You always get the sense that Thomas is just barely keeping it together - ''if'' he's keeping it together at all.

* John Barnett from ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode "Young at Heart". His blue eyes are glassy and glazed over, and they appear dead. Even the pupils are blueish.

* In ''Literature/TheFifthSeason'', "icewhite" eyes are widely seen as an ill omen. Played straight with Schaffa, a MageKiller who's been hunting, enslaving, and often murdering magical children for [[spoiler:[[TimeAbyss tens of thousands of]]]] years. [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] with Hoa, who's an off-putting but CreepyGood [[spoiler:Stone Eater trying to save humanity from extinction]].

* The eponymous character of ''KaneSeries'' by Karl Edward Wagner is frequently described as being disturbing to look directly at. Because it reveals to witnesses Kane's true, murderous nature.

* The eponymous [[{{Literature/Kane}} Kane]] by Karl Edward Wagner is frequently described as being disturbing to look directly at. Because it reveals to witnesses Kane's true, murderous nature.

* In ''Literature/WarriorCats'', several villains have creepy blue eyes: Scourge and Hawkfrost have the icy blue variety, while Darktail's eyes are noted in ''Onestar's Confession'' to be a "vivid, unsettling blue", meeting Onewhisker's gaze with such intensity and anger that it makes Onewhisker shiver.

* In ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'',[[spoiler: Eredin Bréacc Glas, the King of the Wild Hunt]] fittingly combines this with IcyBlueEyes. It serves to make his already ominous character even [[UncannyValley more unnerving]] when you [[TheFaceless finally see his face]]...

* The eponymous [[{{Literature/Kane}} Kane]] by Karl Edward Wagner is frequently described as being disturbing to look directly at. Because it reveals to witnesses Kane's true, murderous nature.

* ''Literature/TheBoysFromBrazil'': Mengele's experiments give blue eyes to people who shouldn't have them. His compound is filled with Paraguayans with unnatural blue eyes. His [[spoiler: clones of Hitler also have creepy blue eyes]].

* In ''Literature/TheFifthSeason'', "icewhite" eyes are widely seen as an ill omen. Played straight with Schaffa, a MageKiller who's been hunting, enslaving, and often murdering magical children for [[spoiler:[[TimeAbyss tens of thousands of]]]] years. Zig-zagged with Hoa, who's an off-putting but CreepyGood [[spoiler:Stone Eater trying to save humanity from extinction]].

* Mason Verger, the antagonist in the novel version of ''[[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal]]'', is described as having intense, piercing, creepy blue eyes (which he inherited from his equally malevolent father).

* Matthew Swift, the primary protagonist of the ''Literature/MatthewSwift'' Mysteries and the secondary protagonist of the spin-off Magicals Anonymous series. His eyes--[[spoiler:like the blue electric angels that share his body, mind and soul]]--are electric blue. They even glow in the dark. Most people have a hard time looking at Matthew's eyes for very long.
* [[MadScientist Ter Borcht]] in ''Literature/MaximumRide'' has "pale, watery blue eyes"...and repeatedly states that the flock are overdue to be terminated.

** Jim from "28 Days Later" is normally a very nice guy, but could also be the poster-boy for BewareTheNiceOnes. [[TookALevelInBadass When he]] [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]], [[TranquilFury the look in his eyes]] [[MookHorrorShow is genuinely chilling.]]

* 80's icon Series/MaxHeadroom is normally seen in his tv and ad appearances wearing CoolShades but beneath them are a pair of the "unnaturally blue" variety, as if his plastic body and mannerisms weren't enough to tip you off that he's not a traditional hero in any way. Good thing he keeps his sunglasses on the majority of the time.

This may overlap with IcyBlueEyes, for certain types of creeps, and even with InnocentBlueEyes for especially sinister [[TheFakeCutie Fake Cuties]], {{Psychopathic Manchild}}ren, and [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon the like]]. Compare OccultBlueEyes, contrast InnocentBlueEyes.

* Music/{{Eminem}}'s Slim Shady [[AlterEgoActing character]] frequently mentions his blue eyes (achieved via coloured contacts). Since Slim is a PsychopathicManchild, they make him look more [[InnocentBlueEyes innocent]], [[ComedicSociopathy making it funnier when he speaks in intricately-rhymed depraved filth]]. The blue eyes, along with the blond hair and the cheerful, nasally, white-Midwestern voice that Eminem uses for the character, also serve to exaggerate Slim's whiteness, letting him satirise white trailer park depravity while also giving him the sinister ability to sell to a white mainstream.

* The BigBad from ''Film/BeverlyHillsCop'' had the watery blue.

* The [[FanNickname G Man]] from ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' has icy blue eyes that feel strangely out of place with the rest of his face. The character is designed to look like something pretending to be a human.... [[UncannyValley but not putting a lot of effort into it.]]

* Creator/CillianMurphy's portrayal of ShellShockedVeteran mob boss Thomas Shelby on ''Series/PeakyBlinders'' is enhanced greatly by his icy stare. You always get the sense that Thomas is just barely keeping it together - ''if'' he's keeping it together at all.

* [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Castiel]] from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has the pretty-but-scary variety. Would you just fricking blink, already?
* ''Series/TheMentalist'' has the blind Rosalind, whose pale, almost unblinking blue eyes definitely fall into the creepy category.
* John Barnett from ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode "Young at Heart". His blue eyes are glassy and glazed over, and they appear dead. Even the pupils are blueish.

* As depicted on the page image, in ''Film/WarmBodies'', R has eerie light blue eyes that highlight his zombie nature.
