i love german expressionism-- from "m" to "metropolis". but for a straight-up goth atmosphere i think you need the fantastic angle-- murnaus "faust" maybe?

i don't know what you mean by subtitles as many of these were silent movies and used title cards, plus you're in austria and speak german. so you prefer german-language films? or are you showing some kind of subtitles?

if you wanted to go with modern (and funny), mel brooks "young frankenstein" would provide the visuals you want but subvert all the seriousness.

unrelated to the horror genre i have always liked fritz lang's "spies" for its abstract imagery.

oh, dr. mabuse the gambler is more of a "gangster" movie but with some visuals that prelude busby berkeley (some cabaret scenes)

the testament of dr. mabuse is great too though it happens in a mental hospital

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu-G5_Jo-LQ -- not really great visuals all indoors

dr. mabuse became a sort of recurrent character/cliche that was reused by many filmmakers, for decades.

oh another contender for the straight-up goth theme: der golem:

oh hm not black and whit but for death-afflicted puppets from prague (free associated from the golem) check out the brothers quay (they're from new jersey though ha ha ha)

totally unrelated but awesome postmodern b/w japanese horror tetsuo the iron man

brothers quay are mostly shorts but would have to be lined up.

totally unrelated and great great visuals, KAFKA'S THE TRIAL BY ORSON WELLES.
