ghastly

Like a ghost in appearance; death-like; pale; pallid; dismal.

Each turned his face with a ghastly pang.

His face was so ghastly that it could scarcely be recognized.

Horrifyingly shocking.

Mangled with ghastly wounds through plate and mail.

They burned the old gun that used to stand in the dark corner up in the garret, close to the stuffed fox that always grinned so fiercely. Perhaps the reason why he seemed in such a ghastly rage was that he did not come by his death fairly. Otherwise his pelt would not have been so perfect. And why else was he put away up there out of sight?—and so magnificent a brush as he had too.

Extremely bad.

The play was simply ghastly.

In a ghastly manner.

Her face was ghastly pale, and perhaps rendered still more so by the blueish light of the fire.

She drained it at a single draught, while Sancgraal’s silent lips appeared to tremble with some mental utterance—perhaps, for who can fathom the depths of superstition, in her most cavernous hollows of atheistic doubt?—perhaps murmuring the absolutory formula of his church over her!—Almost immediately after she grew very ghastly pale, and staggered against the shrine.
