Give someone the creeps

Also used with “the willies”. It alludes to a sensation of something crawling on one's skin. Charles Dickens used it in David Copperfield (1849) to describe a physical ailment: “She was constantly complaining of the cold, and of its occasioning a visitation in her back, which she called ‘the creeps'”. But soon after it was used to describe fear and loathing.
