If you are planning on going as a certain person or character to a costume or Halloween party that has yellow eyes, then here are a few characters through the ages who are known for having yellow eyes. This is list is far from complete so if you know of anybody I should add, please let me know!
Na’vi from Avatar
The Na’vi are the peaceful residents of the planet Pandora in the new film Avatar by James Cameron. They are very tall, blue creatures with big yellow eyes, and other fantastic features. No doubt this upcoming Halloween will be full of people dressed as the infamous Na’vi so yellow contacts will probably have a big year.
You can find out more about Na’vi contacts and Avatar contacts by reading my other more recent posts where I go into further detail. They are looking to be very big costume ideas for this Halloween so you should get ready early and order them asap.
Creatures from Where The Wild Things Are
The famous creatures from the mystical world of Where The Wild Things Are, which was a very popular children’s book, is now being turned into a full-length feature film due to release in late 2009. The creatures will no doubt become more popular and there will be many children who want to copy their look. If you are looking for costumes for young children, I wouldn’t recommend that you let them wear yellow contacts to complete the look. Instead, find a costume that has the full mask and eyes already included. Children wearing colored contacts for costume and theatrical purposes is not recommended.
Mystique from X-Men
Mystique, the female character and villain from the popular X-Men comics and movies has dark yellow pupils with a lighter yellow sclera. Her evil yellow eyes really assist in accenting her dark blue skin. She is known to be able to morph into any shape and color she chooses, so she only has her yellow eyes when she is in her truest form. Mystique is a fairly popular costume, but not as popular as it was when the X-Men movies were first coming out. It’s a difficult costume to pull off because it is full body, and usually requires the body to simply be painted. The yellow contacts that go along with it should be no problem.
Nightcrawler from X-Men
Nightcrawler is another character from X-Men, who also has yellow eyes. The difference here is that he is actually a good guy, even though not always looked upon as such. As his true colors come through everyone realizes he is simply misunderstood and has good intentions. Another difference between him and Mystique is that his eyes are not solid yellow, but instead just the iris is actually yellow. It’s much more intense when on the iris is yellow because it contracts so well on the bright white.
Michael Jackson from Thriller
His girlfriend just had the worst dream ever. It seemed so real. She was leaving a movie theater and walking down the dark street when all of the sudden zombies came out from everywhere and started to attack. She turned to her boyfriend for help only to realize he was one of them! They started dancing and chasing her, when they finally caught up to her she woke up only to find her boyfriend was just trying to wake her up. They started walking out the door when he turned around and showed his true self with bright, evil, yellow eyes!
Azazel from Supernatural
Thanks to Janice for her comment reminding me of this additional yellow-eyed character. I actually really enjoy Supernatural and have seen every episode so I’m not sure how I even forgot about this in the first place!
Azazel is a reoccuring demon on the show Supernatural. He was very prevalent in the first two seasons and has a long history with the main characters of the show. He is actually referred to as the “Yellow Eyed Demon” on several occasions. More information about him in detail is revealed in the third season and some big things happen, which I won’t spoil!
