Creepy- Uncertainty, something's not right but you're not exactly sure if it's dangerous yet, like an intimidating, tall man. Something that's not as obvious when it comes to creepy (E.G. in a story you read: "I heard footsteps" Or "I heard the scream of a man in the distance" would pass off as creepy while something like "The lady had big, cold, buldging eyes, eyes that would pierce throught to any man's soul." or "The man had a stutter in his voice that showed nothing but insincerity, as if he were hiding something. It didn't help that he refused to meet my eyes with his own." would be more subtle) can be easy to miss for some people IRL.

Scary- Certainty, and the fear of it. You know full well what you're up against is dangerous but you know you can't do anything about it or you don't know how to fight it. (E.G Before I could react, the lights had gone out, and I had a feeling that the man who'd once been in front of me had now vanished into the darkness, waiting as he stalked his prey. Me."
