Darth Maul from Star Wars
Darth Maul was introduced as one of the first really awesome villains when the Star Wars movies started back up in their prequels. He amazed people with his crazy look, red eyes and awesome moves. He was definitely one of the most popular costumes around for a few years and red eyes were a staple in that look.
His eyes are red and orange and fiery. He is still a popular character and isn’t going anywhere soon. There are some specific red contacts that you can get to pull off the Darth Maul look, so you don’t just have to go with any red contact lenses.
Jigsaw from Saw
Jigsaw is the clown from the Saw series who you often see on TV before someone is about to get tortured or have to escape a terrible puzzle that has death as a penalty. He sometimes rides in on a tricycle slowing and methodically. He is the persona of the villain in the Saw movies and is very creepy.
Most people are scared of clowns in scary movies, but Jigsaw brings it to another level because he is lifeless, but still poses a threat. You can often find entire Jigsaw masks online, so you might not need to get red contact lenses separately to pull off his look unless you are going to create your own.
