Scary - rational to be afraid of it. I am scared of the impact after being dropped from a great height. I know of the SPLAT!

Creepy - something is wrong with this. It's not what it should be. See "The Uncanny Valley" with robots. It's close to what it should be, but isn't. Nobody is creeped out by R2D2. It's a trash can. Nobody is instantly creeped out by the appearance of Caprica 6. She looks like a normal human. Then there are those things in between that almost look right but something is wrong or fake and they are creepy.

Thus, creepy doesn't require scared and scared doesn't require creepy.
