What is a word that means both silly and scary?
3
To find music, my friend and I were trying to think of a word that means both silly and scary. She says that she knows she's used it before but can't remember it. Any ideas?

But spooky = weird, scary, and kooky = weird, silly. They're just two different words with close connotations both to each other and to OP's two target meanings. The request is for a single word embodying both meanings.
