Here is a page from which you can link to 10 different fantastic films (some with alternate versions). I'm kind of like your TV GUIDE!
incredible shrinking man 1957 81m

4/16/2019 - Vacationing husband gets irradiated while his wife is below deck of their borrowed boat, mutates smaller and smaller due to pesticides in his system. Always a good watch. Valid nuclear fears, squawks on medicine, health, and public safety. Great cast, story, script, and of course special effects. (A+) [GoStream solid]
i was a teenage werewolf 1957 76m
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmdasKbpsdk
4/17/2019 - Michael Landon is the misunderstood angry teen who can't help lashing out, and finally visits a psychiatrist who happens to be a power-mad social engineer with a regression formula. Starts out strong, even the catch-song "Eeny-Meeny-Miny-Mo," but after the gym scene it just goes downhill fast.(B+) [this YouTube upload excellent]

dracula: prince of darkness 1966 90m
https://ok.ru/video/551774915138 (Spanish subs)
4/18/2019 - Christopher Lee returns as king of the vampires, resurrected by the blood of English travelers. In this one, Dracula does not speak, is not particularly super-human, can't fly, and can be killed by fire and water. The talents of Andrew Keir and Barbara Shelley (who worked together on FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH) keep this at a high level. (A-)[while the 86m version is everywhere, it was difficult to find the uncut, but ok.ru provided it in widescreen, even if some buffering]

https://gostream.site/countess-dracula/ (subs)
4/19/2019 - Ingrid Pitt is sexy but that's really all this has going for it. The plot is slight, the script pretty horrendous, the logic baseless, the characters primitive and unlikable, the action sparse, the gore lame, and not even a pair of fangs. (C) because I can't go lower on Hammer [cda.pl fine, 1080p option; Amazon Prime grainy and hangs!]
magic sword 1962 80m (aka st george and the seven curses)
https://archive.org/details/TheMagicSword1962HD720pMovie
4/20/2019 - Teen, medieval, good witchcraft vs. bad witchcraft, love story, adventure. Very pretty women, Basil Rathbone hamming it up, Bert I. Gordon dragon (short screen time) and other decent visual effects. Tropes and social commentary give a little food for thought. A swift 80 minutes that will leave you saying, "Wait, I wanted a bit more!" (B+) [this Archive upload was very good, only stuttery lateral movement, but a vast improvement over most or all other YouTube and Archive finds, which were either poor transfers or short duration @ 76m~, the latter also the length on Amazon Prime!]
the raven 1935 61m
https://archive.org/details/UniversalStudiosMonsters1935TheRaven
4/20/2019 - Karloff is the criminal on the lam who needs a new face, Lugosi is the retired doctor who has a fascination for Poe and a mad infatuation with a female patient. Trouble ensues. One hour of pure fun, the characterizations done well in haste, the thrills real, the makeup old-fashioned scary, and Karloff growls! The fantastic-film content is that Lugosi knows just how to disfigure a man with a scalpel. (A) [Archive upload terrific]
the black cat 1934 65m
https://archive.org/details/UniversalStudiosMonsters1934TheBlackCat (65/70m)
4/20/2019 - Karloff is the Satanist cult leader who was once a war butcher, Lugosi is a former prisoner who lost his wife to Karloff and seeks revenge. Meanwhile, the married David Manners and Jacqueline Wells become pawns in the game at Karloff's castle. WATCH Bela and Boris wrestle! I mean that as a publicity stunt. Actually, you don't need any excuse to enjoy this great film. The plot is contrived but perfectly played, the actors rock (the high drama warranted here), and it absorbs you from start to finish. There is technically no fantastic-film content, but Karloff-Lugosi-Manners is too good a team to say no, and the torture-Satanism angles are horrific enough. Originally, the censors suggested Edgar Ulmer tone it down, but he didn't, and as a matter of fact the 65-minute cut is the released cut, even if IMDB and AFI claim 70m max. (A+) [Archive upload wonderful] (information >) https://catalog.afi.com/Catalog/MovieDetails/4590?cxt=filmography
the body snatcher 1945 77m
https://ok.ru/video/194804845122 (UNCUT, Spanish subs)
4/20/2019 - Karloff is the grave-robber who is also a murderer, providing cadavers for his old friend "Toddy" who is now a doctor-teacher. Lugosi is the doctor's servant who knows too much. WATCH Bela and Boris wrestle again! This is more melodrama than anything, nothing fantastic-film per se, but a good bit of violence and suggested gor. It's a good film, well-acted, nice costuming and sets. (A-)[ok.ru upload was pretty good, but seemed to "skip" every once in a while, and that was OK because Archive didn't have it, DailyMotion was terrible, CDA was Polish-only, and nothing on the streamers]

the mummy's shroud 1967 86m
https://my.mail.ru/mail/svetac77/video/misvideos/472.html (Spanish subs)
4/21/2019 - Most of this is almost played for laughs, but the end sequence where the mummy disintegrates is worth watching repeatedly on a reel of such visual effects. (C) because I can't go lower on Hammer [my.mail.ru was a very good view and I like this site]
lady frankenstein 1971 99m
http://cafehulu.com/watch/gdVp4mxD-lady-frankenstein.html (UNCUT, no subs)
lady frankenstein 1971 83m cut
(information) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067321/alternateversions4/23/2019 - Italian period-piece isn't bad, the classic Frankenstein, with Burke and Hare, and some early 1970's raunch that has its moments. (B) [cafehulu had a wonderful uncut print]
