** In the ''Dawnguard'' DLC, most Volkihar vampires have glowing red-orange eyes, while normal vampires have yellow eyes. They're particularly noticeable on Serana and her mother Valerica. It's implied that only the Dragonborn can see this, which allows other vampires to blend into normal society, such as [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Sybille Stentor]] (although her vampirism is an open secret), or vamps that show up and start influencing Jarls in the ''Dawnguard'' radiant missions.

* Disneyland's ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'':
** It used to have the ghost bride. Until somewhere in the 80's, all the versions of the character had glowing light-yellow eyes blazing through the darkness of the haunted attic, paired with a glowing, beating red heart. The 70's Bride's face was actually pitch black with only the two glowing eyes. However, the later, more realistic design had more normal-looking eyes (except in Tokyo Disneyland, where the Bride's eyes, though with a visible pupil, still glow a bit). The current bride ghost, [[TheScrappy Constance]], who replaced Emily, does not glow at all.

Later the brothers encounter others of the same condition who also have glowing eyes. This seems to only be visible to the audience, as if they are "asleep", the characters don't notice.
