Cosplay Contact Horror Stories: What Are the Worst Encounters?

One horror story is when a cosplayer got an eye infection from cheap, unregulated cosplay contact lenses. The lenses were not properly sterilized, and soon after wearing them, their eyes became red, itchy and swollen. It took a long time and medical treatment to get better.

One horror story I heard was at a cosplay event. A cosplayer was approached by someone who seemed friendly at first. They started chatting about their cosplays, but then the person got really pushy about getting personal information like their phone number and address, saying they wanted to do a photoshoot together later. It was really creepy and made the cosplayer feel very uncomfortable.

Sure. A cosplayer thought they got a great deal on some cool - looking cosplay contacts. But when they put them in, the color started to bleed onto their eyes, making them look really strange and scaring some people at the event. It was really embarrassing and also a bit terrifying as they didn't know what was happening to their eyes.

One of the worst horror stories could be 'The Shining'. The isolation, the haunted hotel, and Jack Torrance's descent into madness are truly terrifying. Another might be 'Psycho' with its infamous shower scene. And 'The Exorcist' where a young girl is possessed by a demon.

One more common horror story is dealing with the accessories. Homestuck cosplays often have a lot of small and detailed accessories. A cosplayer could lose one of these important accessories right before or during the event. It might be a small charm or a unique piece that really completes the look. Without it, the cosplay just doesn't seem right and the cosplayer is left feeling disappointed and a bit self - conscious.

A common one is misrepresentation. Sellers might use photos of really nice cosplay items but send out something completely different. For example, a beautifully designed sword prop in the picture could turn out to be a flimsy plastic thing in reality.

One horror story is when a cosplayer's expensive and carefully made costume got ruined by someone accidentally spilling a drink on it at the convention. The cosplayer had spent months on it, and it was a real heartbreak.

One of the worst horror stories could be 'The Shining'. The isolation of the hotel, the slow descent into madness of Jack Torrance, and the spooky apparitions like the twins in the hallway are truly terrifying. It plays on our fears of being trapped and the unknown forces that can drive a person to insanity.

One common element is the distortion of the hero's appearance. For example, a cosplayer might see a warped version of the hero they are cosplaying, which is really creepy. Another is the feeling of being followed or watched by something that looks like their cosplayed hero. It gives a sense of unease.

I heard of a case where a cosplayer bought a very elaborate cosplay outfit from eBay for an important convention. The seller promised fast shipping. However, the package got lost in transit. When the cosplayer tried to track it down, both eBay and the seller were not very helpful. So the cosplayer had to scramble to put together a new cosplay at the last minute.
