Horror and Such Magical Girl Recommendations... Please?

[RedPyramid]

Greeting forum,

I just really recently signed up, and I'm not sure if this request for suggestions is supposed to go here but it fight the title so I'll post it. I'm pretty much looking to expand my "gotta watch" list of anime and I've got some particular qualities that I'm looking for currently. I'm hunting for anime that fall into the Magical Girl theme (or something similar) but also carries horror tropes. This doesn't mean they have to be full out cr@p your pants, though that's welcomed very much, but really stuff from blood, violence and gore to psychological, and dark stories, to twisted characters and thriller like parts work. So, it doesn't necessarily have to be horror, but really anything in that ball park is good, so long as it's got that Magical Girl (or similar) quality.

Before anyone says it, yes, I have seen Madoka Magica. Loved it. Now I'm looking for more. A few others that I've seen (so you get my preferences) are:
- Elfen Lied (not magical girl but close)
- Black Rock Shooter (kinda dark, depressing mood)
- Claymore (girl power, gore factor)
- Deadman Wonderland (go Shiro go)
- Yuuki Yuuna (Madoka soul mate... Not as dark though)

I think you get it. Anyways, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mirai Nikki might be a title of interest.

I've got that one on my list, just for different reasons.

Not the most passive Magic Girl-Witch anime and it is a comedy but Magical Witch Punie-chan may be somewhat interesting to you. Sugar Sugar Rune isn't too dark, but it does have some serious moments and a little drama, as well as Hime-chan No Ribbon, a very good magic girl anime series.
