Rules for the character.
Can only use Paizo material.
Must be a core race.
Anything else goes. I'm wanting to see if I can make something creepy. Psychological horror comes to mind specifically. I'm open for any suggestions that falls within these rulesets. Think of that one person who people mysteriously die around, or the sweet happy-go-lucky serial killer. Maybe the girl who wakes up every morning to find something dead underneath the sheets. The more creative the better. I want to see what the minds of this forum can produce.
Well, theres currently a thread about a summoner who had "relations" with his eidolon. If you really want to creep people out some tentacled abonimation love would probably do the trick.
Not that this is a good idea. And I can't imagine why you would actively want to creep people out, but hey...
It's your choice I guess

Maybe not sexually creepy. Sexual stuff at the table usually just makes things uncomfortable. Again, psychological horror comes to mind, not tentacle hentai.

Apparently you can just play yourself.....cause I'm a fairly creeped out by anyone who would want to do this.

Politician.
Think Laori Vaus from Curse of the Crimson Throne
Zon Kuthon worshiping dentist.
Ya, this is more what I'm looking for. I want to steer away from anything sexual, just as that is a touchy and uncomfortable subject for a lot of people.

Stay away from me.
Don't worry, you won't even have to look at him. Hide In Plain Sight used with his Favored Terrain (Under Your Bed).

Going to second this one. You'll be a success!

Darn, there goes my suggestion of a grappling based alchemist......
Anyway, how about hamatula strike? This feat allows you to take piercing weapons and impale enemies on a successful hit. Again, goes into grappling checks. I suppose that a lore warden would be the best choice for something like this (their large bonuses to CMB make maneuvers more manageable).
Whispering in their ears while you do this also helps to make things extra creepy. "Shhh....it all over now.... just go to sleep and all the pain will go away"

If you do it with an unarmed strike that does piercing damage via Snake Style or hamatulatsu, you can recreate Mola Ram from Temple of Doom. You just reach into someones chest and grab hold.
"Kali Ma... Kali Ma... Kali Ma Shakti de"
An NPC from my first Carrion Crown attempt.
Also, one of my replacement characters this year was a faceless (with a mouth) tiefling alchemist (re-animator, of course) that could still see perfectly. A combination of the pale man from Pan's Labyrinth (minus nostrils) with a cenobite from hellraiser (no wounds or anything). Spoke very little, grinned a lot, and insisted that the group have tea at regular intervals.

Noob should have used his quivering palm before the archaeologist bard got away.
Taking a page from a character I once played and even wrote and published a short story about because he was so much fun, you could max disguise, bluff, performance acting, stealth and some other skills to make a serial killer that could be anyone. Who can the enemy trust when every person they meet might be this killer in waiting?
My character also killed enemies and in cleaner terms stole their faces, using said faces as masks to great effect. This was largely flavor in terms of mechanics.
Cannibals usually hit a creepy tone fairly easily. Could go pyromancer cannibal who likes to cook his food thoroughly.
Perhaps an illusionist who enjoys making grueseome, creepy or downright terrifying illusions a bit much. I recall one spell that is a sort of veil, that nauseates people who look at it (and fail a save) because it's so weird/creepy.
Necromancers that experiment with the body (switching parts around for fun).
Alchemist that makes oozes and tosses them at enemies knowing full well the ooze can't be controlled.
Wizard focused on turning other people to stone, then stone shaping them into some grotesque art.
A caster focues on bestow curse and it's general nastiness.
Just some off the top of my head. Good luck.

Bloatmage with a fetish. Doesn't really matter what kind of fetish :)
Honestly, Bloatmages as a concept is creepy without any added squick.
I do like Lamontious's idea as well. It seems like it'd work with almost any style of party.
Another though, for fun. Wizard focused on baleful polymorph then experimenting / disecting the little critters. Or if possible training them to be part of a cute little circus / petting zoo.
Edit: Or. Most unsettling of all... have your character show people a picture of his mother in-law!!! Dum dum dum! :)

I'm going to win this right now.
Start with any of the Daemon Harbingers, scroll through the list until you find something disturbing enough that you get ideas, build character, and then get kicked out of your group in one run.
Here are some good ones to start.
Folca
Laivatiniel
Mnoec
Nalmungder
Osolmyr
Slandrais
Xsistaid
If you don't find something in that group that doesn't gross you out and/or horrify you I don't know what to tell you.
I think my favorites so far are the dentist and the Forlorn Elven wizard

The problem is that you want someone disturbing (a very likely red button issue PC), yet not TOO disturbing. This means there's a line, and you seem to want someone to get close to the line without crossing it. Just fair warning. It's tough to do without crossing it.
There are lots of possibilities here. Simple terror would be something like the monktopus (druid / monk multiclass that wild shapes into large octopus with reach, multiple limbs, lots of combat maneuver feats and such) - idea stolen from another thread somewhere.
Using various mutations from the new Numeria book on a core character can give loads of new ideas.
Old standby of a witch that enjoys cooking children - there's even a hex that helps with that.
A variation is a "normal person" that is a witch that makes a deal, hand over a child for him or her to apprentice, or he/she curses and slays an entire community. Such a witch should be very polite, honest, and keeps strictly to the bargain. Every hour the community refuses to willingly hand over a child, a new type of curse sweeps through the whole community - escalating to murder, with the threat being the whole community would be destroyed if they continue to refuse. (Yes, stolen from a Steven King story).
Horror is always a PC that no one suspects, seems perfectly normal, yet is capable of very horrific behavior - A Pathfinder "Dexter" if you will.
Terror - something obviously monstrous out to get you.
Horror - A nice person you meet at a tavern that seems perfectly normal, until you notice the spot of blood on his or her shoe.
