You can make it really creepy, by dissonantly LucyTuning it.

Get the microtuning codes for Logic Pro 7 free from here:

http://lucytune.com/midi_and_keyboard/pitch_bend.html

and then choose your dissonant intervals;-)

In LucyTuning the intervals which are closest on the spiral of  
fourths and fifths are more consonant than those which are separated  
by more steps.

e.g. C to A# (10 steps) is much more dissonant than C to Bb (2 steps).

Therefore choose remote notes on the spiral to produce very dissonant  
intervals.
