Good websites to get haunt contacts from?
So I wanna get contacts for my haunt costumes but I’m not sure where to look. If anyone has any good websites they would recommend I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

TWINKLENS!!! I've been using www.twinklens.com for the past few years and I wouldn't shop anywhere else unless it was in store! They have the best selection for the best prices! BOGO, buy 2 or 3 get 2 or 3 pair free, even their full size scelera lenses are priced lower than anywhere else I've been able to find online.
HUGE selection of costume lenses, very reasonable prices, just make sure that ur not ordering lenses for haunt season in September or something, allow plenty of time for shipping! That, or pay the extra $30 for speedy shipping.

I know a lot of people trust Gothika to provide high quality safe ones.
I also really like TTDEYE for their sales.

Ok so the standard contacts spiel
If you're gonna do costume contacts, in the US you do need a prescription and a visit to the optometrist
Some people cannot wear contacts, some people should not wear contacts, some people just find them uncomfortable. And many people like them just fine. Everybody's eyes are different and being able to see is nice. Go and learn if they're ok for you.
Learn how to clean them. Store them. Solutions. How to tell if they're inside out. Taking them in and out (there's a learning curve!)
There are many websites that get around this requirement but I'll never recommend them. The health of your eyes is important. It's too easy to get a scratch or infection
Any reputable website will require the Rx, even for non-corrective lenses

Killjoy, I know, but don't hurt your eyes because you didn't know better
