ScaryShinyGlasses

This troper wears glasses and does the pushing-up motion with them occasionally. He's sometimes been able to pull of the shine effect, though usually unintentionally.

This Troper once looked into a large mirror and found that the lighting was giving him a ScaryShinyGlasses effect. It happened while visiting the Tower of London.

I had the idea of creating items that could pull of effects you'd find in animation, this being the first thing I wanted to do. It was just an idea though, I don't really think I'd actually be able to make this stuff.

GentlemensDame883 has friends who deliberately use it for the cool/creepy edge it confers.

This troper was pulling off a senior prank (cup flood) and decided to wears gas mask to the prank for some reason. The other seniors freaked out when they didn't recognize me. I was dressed in all black and the first person noticed me because the lens for the eyes reflected the lighting. I was told several times throughout the night that the refection on the lenses was really creeping everyone out.

This troper managed to unintentionslly creep his brother out with ScaryShinyGlasses once. He was sitting in his room, when he brother entered and upon turning towards him the light from the table lamp reflected off his glasses, making them appear all shiny. The effect was further enchanced by the fact that it aws rather late and the room was mostly dark, with the table lamp as the only light source.

Me in a movie theater. O.O

This troper unintentionally pulled this off at a halloween party; my costume included a fidora and when we were watching a movie my face was entirely in shadow except for the reflection of the screen off my glasses.

This troper has a friend. He is combination of ScaryShinyGlasses and CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass. The lecturer once gave a question (about binary number). While I and otther friends just about to count, he had answered it, CORRECTLY. And he was doing this effect while answering.

This troper has unintentionally invoked this trope, on numerous occasions:
#111292
1) I was in hihghschool. We were taking a break from out usual lesson for the teacher to ask us, the students, what we wanted to do when we grew up. When they came to me, my glasses shined as I gave my answer, which creeped the class out more than the answer did in itself.

2) My school's anime club of all places. We were watching Neon Genesis Evangelion when this happened: the student at the project said he didn't understand why the others thought the show was nightmare fuel and said nothing scared him...I tapped his shoulder to say "really now" and when he looked he freaked out and alter said I looked like Alucard from Hellsing when I taped his shoulder. And this all happened when Gendo's glasses shined too...

3) My girlfriend and I were at one of her friends' home when the light went out (but not the tv). Her friend looked at me to ask me to check the light switch, when she screamed. My glasses had been shining thanks to the tv's light.

In my school's marching band, we have this one senior guy who plays the flute. He's generally a nice and amiable guy, but God forbid if he catches you endangering a flute, like those two girls who were tossing their flutes around like the auxiliaries. He told them from behind, "Are you fucking INSANE?!" And they turned around just in time to see this SlasherSmile and a glint off his glasses. He's like the only one I know who can scare you at will even with a bum knee.

This troper has done it occasionally.

This troper recently bought a pair of pink sunglasses that invoke this surprisingly well in her French Revolution role playing class. Since she's TheStrategist and TheManBehindTheMan it's worked quite well when she wants to look threatening while retaining the look innocence.

A similar effect was achieved when a projector's light shone directly onto this Troper's face during an English story-telling session. Helps that this Troper was telling a ghost story.
