Very theatrical and vaudevillian; the songs end up sounding very mischievous and lyrics tend to lean towards disturbing to gruesome. Some artists that make up the genre:

Peculiar Pretzelmen
Circus Contraption
The Bad Things
Beat Circus
Rosin Coven
The Scarring Party
Harlequin Jones
Clare Fader & The Vaudevillains
The Dead Brothers
Reverend Glasseye & his Wooden Legs
Vermillion Lies
The Deadfly Ensemble
If you enjoy that style of dark cabaret you need to check out Devil Doll, it seems I can't link urls right now but you'll find many clips of various lengths on youtube. Parts cabaret, classical, rock and experimental, it makes alot of the bands you listed look kinda amateurish, Mr. Doctor really hit the mark with his albums, they're amazing.
