Part of it is the way they move. It's that slippery, fast-slow thing you often see ghosts do in horror films. There's something about it that is deeply disturbing and that somehow impresses itself on the mind. I really hate that.
Then there's the fact that they are, as you can clearly see here, dressed as old-fashioned nurses. Why that adds to the creep-out factor I can't really say, but it does. It truly, truly does. Even the glasses on the one chick add to the overall "run-away" feeling.
Watch them in action in the famous "Double-Double-Toil-and-Trouble" scene for yourself. just don't expect to sleep afterward.
Very creepy. I can see how it would cause nightmares.
