I am french and I did not know what it meant. That is why I answer questions in Yahoo because you may learn something by answering something. So I consulted my dictionary. It has the verb « épeurer » meaning to scare (somebody) but it is an old word not used anymore that you could may be find in some old books. It would be then the “participe présent”. I would be interested to know where you found that word.

It mean "scary", it's use by french-canadians like, écoeurant (meaning great or discusting depending of the context...go figure)

This word doesn't exist, maybe you mean épurant, from the verbe épurer which means to purify, to purge

Must be the present participle of "épeurer" an archaic word meaning to cause fear in someone. So basically, scary or fearsome.
