How to say "creepy" in Japanese

• 不気味ぶきみCommon
  na-adjectiveCovers the 'eerie, unsettling' sense of creepy: something quietly strange or ominous that gives you chills, such as an abandoned house at night or an unnatural silence.
  急きゅうに笑わらい出ださないでよ。不気味ぶきみだから。↗

  Don't burst out laughing like that. It's creepy.
• 気持ち悪いきもちわるいCommon
  i-adjectiveAlso renders 'creepy', but with emphasis on the unpleasant, grossed-out reaction—disgust rather than dread. Fits a creepy person whose behavior makes your skin crawl, and it equally means 'gross'.
  なんかそれ、ブヨブヨしていて気持きもち悪わるいね。↗

  Oooh, gross! What is that stuff? It's all spongy.

Use 不気味 for the eerie, unsettling sense of 'creepy', and 「気持ち悪い」 for the grosser, revolting sense; the two overlap, but 不気味 fits spooky atmosphere while 「気持ち悪い」 centers on disgust.
