I don't have the creepiest mindset, but I'll do my best. (I'm also assuming that 'creepy and open-ended' is more interesting to write from than 'AND THEN THERE WERE GUTS AND THEN THERE WAS A SCREAMING MONSTER AND AND'.)

-Every door closes behind him about 8 seconds after he steps through. All of them.

-A room where the lights don't work, and there is something in the middle which he has to work his way past.

-An overhead duct drips with sticky black fluid. There is a ventilation grille a few feet further along.

-A massively scarred figure which precisely mirrors his every move. (Yes, I think I'm ripping off Tomb Raider at this point.)

-A reddish moss covers every surface in the room. It's impossible to tell what all the lumps on the floor are...

-A roomful of bats. Bats everywhere. So many bats. They're all sleeping... for now.

-A perfectly lovely, perfectly empty white room, lit by a fluorescent light that isn't even flickering. The far door stands invitingly open. This is the only room where the door in doesn't shut behind him.

-A list of names pinned to a wall, written in what looks alarmingly like blood, all in different handwriting. Halfway down is his name - in his own hand.

-A rough-cut tunnel enters the corridor on one side, and leaves a little further down on the other. It is pitch black inside.

That the sort of thing you're looking for?
