What makes it creepy?

Interesting. Gives another perspective on the subject. Another approach to it.
Thanks for sharing.

I thought first installment of Insidious was a great use of this concept. It was scary because it was so creepy. Insidious is PG13. There's no chainsaws, bloody machetes, and in some of the most frightening scenes no one is even hurt not even a hair out of place, just being totally creeped out. The sequel to Insidious had some of this, but not as much.

Spoiler alert Insidious:

For example the scene where some little man is standing in a corner of the room in broad daylight, and or protagonist hears someone singing tip toe through the tulips in a high pitched voice, then the little man runs off. There's nothing overtly threatening here, but it's terribly creepy.

It doesn't have the same effect if you don't watch the entire movie and it builds up to the scene, but this is the scene:
