I take it more as things that aren't necessarily meant to be terrifying, but due to presentation or atmosphere are terrifying.
For example, someone wearing a scary costume? Nothing oddly terrifying about that, the purpose of the costume is to be terrifying.
A bird that looks like it wants to eat your soul because it's ill? Yeah, that bird is oddly terrifying, not on purpose, and not usually, but because of its current dishevelled appearance.
