# Halloween Contact Lenses Spooky Costume Eyewear By Vquest | Published 2008-10-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaky-eye-costumes-for-halloween References: [coastalcontacts](https://www.coastalcontacts.com/en_us/cHalloweenLenses-p1.html) & [bcheap](http://www.bcheap.com/scary-contact-lenses.html) This Halloween, jazz up your costume with some scary contact lenses. With scores of spine-tingling eye candy to choose from, you’ll only be limited by your imagination--or your wallet. Simple spiderweb eye shrouds or raver lenses that glow under blacklights cost about $35, while custom-made theatrical lenses can go for as much as $500. Scleral or SFX lenses are contacts with a large diameter to cover your entire eye, and are significantly more expensive than more traditional contact lenses. Keep in mind that these prices are frequently on a *per lens* basis, so budget accordingly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spooky Contact Lenses:** Opportunity for the development of innovative and realistic Halloween-themed contact lenses. - **Custom-made Theatrical Lenses:** Disruptive innovation potential in the creation of high-quality, customizable and affordable theatrical lenses for costume and entertainment purposes. - **Scleral and SFX Lenses:** Opportunity for the production of cost-effective and comfortable scleral and SFX lenses for a diverse range of uses, including special effects in movies and TV shows. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosmetic Contact Lens Industry:** Disruptive innovation potential in the cosmetic contact lens industry by creating unique and attractive designs for themed occasions. - **Eyewear Industry:** Opportunity for the eyewear industry to offer a wider range of Halloween-themed contact lenses to cater to the growing demand for creative and playful costume accessories. - **Entertainment Industry:** Potential for the entertainment industry to collaborate with contact lens manufacturers to create realistic and visually stunning theatrical lenses for movies, TV shows, and live performances. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glitter-Colored Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairy-1-day.md) - [Accessible Eye Care Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-contact-lenses.md) - [Extra-Breathable Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyhy-by-hubble.md) - [Hydrogel Daily Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogel-lenses.md) - [Limited-Edition Spooky Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annabelle-cosmetics.md) - [Spiralled Shape Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-diopter.md) - [Moisturizing Daily Contacts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vista-plus.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [Stylish Retailer Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-framery.md)
