I agree about its length being an asset.
It's short enough to watch again and again without committing too much time to something you've already seen and being shorter its easier to get people who think they don't like animation to watch it.Another few the original poster could try are Ju-on (the grudge or the curse) and Dark Water.
Follow Ups:
as well as Hellsing v.1, if you're into the Vampire genre. Jin-Roh, Armitage, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion and Gasaraki if you're into futuristic Sci-Fi anime. Blue Submarine #6 is truly stellar animation too and at 4x22min episodes, not too long.
Wow, we have very similar tastes. I've seen (and loved) all of those with the exception of Armitage. I’ll have to check that one out soon, thanks for the suggestion. I was even thinking about mentioning Vampire Hunter D but decided it wasn’t horror enough for this thread but I agree it is totally awesome.
Some good ones in there, especially Bebop, but I wouldn't classify any of them as horror (well, Hellsing has its moments)Modern futuristic horror might include Demon City Shinjuku and Wicked City (the latter gets a bit ecchi). Perfect Blue is a horror anime in the Hitchcock vein (guess that is a pun considering Psycho ^-^)
Nightwalker Midnight Detective (2 disks) is rather interesting... episodic tale of a vampire who works as a detective. A few episodes are really good. Especially liked the Heian flashback episodes in Gasaraki. Didn't care for the CGI in Blue Sub 6, just didn't blend with the 2d as well as it did in Bebop.
