These are all lovely and deep and perceptive, and maybe I'm simple-thinking. But to me, "creepy" always triggers one thought -- sexual predator.
Other things might be scary, or disturbing, or trigger caution. But creepy is always undefinably predatory, like that friend of your dad who you don't want to be left alone with, or the coworker who stands a little too close.
