If something is hair-raising, it you — but in a way that also feels . Your body acts as if the hair on your head wants to stand up. A hair-raising drive down a mountain, a hair-raising story, a hair-raising ride at a fair: you are a little scared, and you might even enjoy that feeling later. Informal. It is a thrill-scare, not quiet sadness and not a slow everyday worry. We put it before a noun (a hair-raising film) more often than after the verb be, though both happen.
驚險刺激、令人毛骨悚然(偏「怕得過癮」,不是單純陰森)
組成hair + raising — from the idea that fear makes the hair on your head lift.
