Songs in horror

So we all know how atmospheric music can add a whole new dimension to a horror production, but what about when the characters actually do music? I just heard about the musical production of Evil Dead, and it sounds fantastic - I would love to see it, but I doubt very much whether it will make its way over here to the UK.

I suppose the other 2 examples I can think of are the (classic) Rocky Horror (Picture) Show and the musical episode of Buffy.

Now I'm not a big fan of musicals in general, in fact there are only maybe half a dozen that I can even watch, but for me the above examples work really well. Obviously the inclusion of a 'musical' element is always going to add a light-hearted edge to a production, but what do you guys think of songs in horror, and what other examples can you think of?
