I definitely appreciated that, too. I thought the Schrödinger's cat angle was a pretty inspired take on the genre. I never thought I'd see a haunted house film that incorporated quantum mechanics, haha. He definitely deserves credit for thinking outside the box (no pun intended).

Yeah! He has a bonkers imagination. I would recommend
Dance with the Devil (aka
Perdita Durango),
The Day of the Beast, and
Mutant Action. As you'll see with
The Last Circus, he has a fantastically gruesome and goofy creativity; his films always have a strong sense of dark humor to them. Unfortunately,
The Last Circus is the only film that's available on Netflix Instant. You may have to search elsewhere for the other ones.

Definitely let me know what you think if you see it. I always thought it looked really crazy.
