eldritch

Weirdly, cosmically dreadful

Eldritch means weird, eerie, or supernatural in a way that inspires fear.

The word is literary and archaic, surviving mainly through horror fiction and fantasy: an eldritch shriek, eldritch horrors from beyond the stars.

It suggests something uncanny and otherworldly—not merely frightening but fundamentally alien or unnatural.
