If you loved Leonardo's Diary, try Castle of Otranto
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share

What Castle of Otranto is
Eraserhead if stop-motion were the only tool. A faux documentary crew follows an obsessive amateur scholar who believes the first Gothic novel was set in his backyard, not Italy. The usual Švankmajer grotesqueries ensue.
