scarily
In terrifying fashion
Scarily means in a way that causes fear or alarm: The movie was scarily realistic.
It also serves as an intensifier suggesting an unsettling degree of something: She was scarily good at predicting what he'd say.
The intensifying use often carries a note of impressed unease rather than actual fright.
