Me da ñañaras. (Mexican)

Me da cosa.

Me da repelús.

I am looking for the way to say, He gives me the creeps. I believe that the first (which may be regional/Mexican) is more like having the feeling of butterflies in the stomach, being nervous about an upcoming event.

I think the second is closest to what I want.

The third I got from a discussion on line.

If someone could shed light on the nuances between these expressions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

As Jeezzle says--

There's a list here but I don't know how accurate it is.
