Hide and Seek by William Meritt Chase, 1888 When you write something creepy or eerie, I think it often helps to tap into your deepest childhood fears. I recently wrote about how Skinamarink does this with fears of the dark, monsters under the bed, creepy cartoons, toys seeming sentient.
I completely agree with this—my fears usually stem from loss/abandonment, grief, and the unknown, and they do almost always show up in my work (in one form or another!)
