Some of the most unforgettable characters in horror wouldn’t be the same without their glasses. From eerie masterminds to unexpected horror heroes, their eyewear adds an edge — making them instantly recognisable and surprisingly wearable in real life.
Here are our favourite Halloween eyewear icons — and how you can capture their signature style with frames available right here at The Spectacle Factory.
Dr. Frederick Chilton – Silence of the Lambs
The smug psychologist’s 80s tortoiseshell glasses perfectly match his smarmy character — the kind of eyewear that says “I think I’m cleverer than you.”
Get the look: Elegant round frames with Parisian flair and timeless charm. 👉 Try: Ahlem Rousseau in rich amber or soft tortoiseshell for a refined yet distinctive statement.
The Invisible Man (1933) – The Ultimate Optical Illusion
Bandaged face, trench coat — and those round black goggles that made him iconic. Without those, the illusion just doesn’t work.
Get the look: Futuristic craftsmanship meets fearless design. 👉 Try: JF Rey 3069 — a bold 3D-printed frame with sculpted side shields for a statement that’s equal parts innovation and attitude.
Patrick Bateman – American Psycho
Behind the tailored suits and sinister smile, Bateman occasionally sports sleek, modern acetate frames — cold, clean and confident to the point of creepy.
Get the look: Understated sophistication with vintage-inspired precision. 👉 Try: Barton Perreira Norton — a refined acetate frame with classic lines and impeccable craftsmanship for effortless everyday elegance.
Egon Spengler – Ghostbusters (1984)
Behind the proton pack and that serious stare, Spengler’s round metal glasses became a symbol of geeky genius. His look balances intelligence with eccentric charm — effortlessly iconic and just a little eerie in the glow of ghost-trap light.
Get the look: Heritage meets high precision in a design that defines quiet luxury. 👉 Try: Masunaga GMS-127 — a beautifully balanced combination of Japanese titanium and acetate, crafted for timeless elegance and comfort.
Herbert West – Re-Animator (1985)
Behind the blood-stained lab coat and icy confidence, West’s wire-rim glasses are as clinical as his experiments. They capture that perfect mix of brilliance and madness — intellect pushed just past the point of sanity.
Get the look: Sleek, modern, and effortlessly cool. 👉 Try: Saint Laurent SL 780 — a refined metal aviator with minimalist lines and a polished finish that exudes contemporary luxury.
