The Ethereal Plane not only gets creepier as you go south, it has the really nice property that the transition is gradual. There's not many points where it just jumps in creepiness.
I can't stand Tim Burton's movies, but one thing he does do well (unfortunately it's not enough to carry a movie for me) is that insidious creeping creepiness thing, where there's so gentle a progression from normality to eerieness that you can't point at a moment and say "that's where it got creepy". That's what Ethereal is like.
To me some parts of Astral are too over-the-top to be creepy. They're creepy like a blood-and-guts zombie movie that isn't even taking itself seriously, which is to say, not much. But Glomdoring is slippery creepy. Glomdoring is creepy the way the movie Se7en was creepy.

Whilst I'm sure Estarra would like to take responsibility, it was actually the product of quite a few sick minds. Isn't that reassuring?
