CARRIE is one of my favorites.
Also ROCKY HORROR is an obvious, fun choice.

Let the Right One In. I loved that show and hope it has a life beyond the glorious St. Ann's run.

As cliche as it may sound, the second act of The Woman in Black is really terrifying

Sweeney Todd and LSOH
"Little Pie Shop of Horrors"

Definitely Sweeney Todd, but Carrie is way up there, even if it's really more of a violent tragedic romance (but then again, so is Sweeney Todd).

By coincidence I remembered a horror-themed snow today that I haven't thought about in years. It's a little song cycle called Macabaret. We did it once at the high school I went to, it's a great little revue.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Even if the horror aspect of the novel is somewhat eschewed in favour of the romantic approach in the musical, The Phantom of the Opera.

If you're looking for a cheesy, campy horror, Evil Dead The Musical is fun.

--I have to second "Let the Right One In," "Carrie," "Little Shop of Horrors," and "Sweeney Todd,"
--Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus" has a number of truly revolting scenes and disgusting actions, though the only time I've seen the play done effectively is in Julie Taymor's 1999 film "Titus."
--"The Pillowman:" I didn't even see it, and some of the dialogue and visuals are burned into my brain from having read the script.

Another one is The Toxic Avenger. Another cheesy one.

Jekyll & Hyde can be a lot of fun with the right production.

Sweeney Todd forever.
The steamwhistle is terrifying every single time and there is something so unsettling about the immediate disposing of the bodies down the chute to the tune of Johanna.

A professor named John Flynn wrote a book about the various incarnations of "The Phantom of the Opera." There is little question in his mind that the story has evolved from primarily horror (especially in film) through the 1960's to primarily romance in later versions. Interestingly, I've seen Hugh Panaro appear on TV on Halloween to sing MOTN -- MOTN is anything but a horror song with one exception: Opera singer Thomas Hampson has recorded a really bizarre version with the orchestration sounding ghostly and terrifying. The terrifying part to me is that anyone would want to listen to it, despite Thomas Hampson's wonderful voice. 
Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

The Woman in Black made me scream like a little baby when I saw it. I felt so dumb screeching out in terror with all the school groups who were at the matinee with me!
