Espeluznante

First time I heard this word today. They translated it as "disgusting", but the context was a guy wouldn't fall down, in a fight. Asqueroso.

But would it be more like "aterrador" than "asqueroso"?

Gracias.

Asqueroso is not the word here, espeluznante is more like horrible, horrible to look at.

Look, one of the definitions is :

espeluznar. 3. tr. Espantar, causar horror. U. t. c. prnl.

I think "espeluznante" is pretty much a literal translation of "hair raising (horrible)"
