Happy Birthday Boris Karloff!
William Henry Platt aka the legendary Boris Karloff was born on this date in 1887. He would have been 112 if he were still alive today.
November 22, 1969 Schedule: RUN,PSYCHO,RUN Midnight
Bob wilkins showed RUN,PSYCHO,RUN (1968) aka PIU TARDI CLAIRE, PIU TARDI. Being only a year old, I am guessing this was released directly to TV in the U.S. , thus bypassing the big screen.
November 15, 1969 Schedule: THE LOST WORLD 11:30PM
Bob Wilkins showed Irwin Allen's version of THE LOST WORLD (1960). It is available on DVD from Fox in its proper OAR (2.35:1)

November 8, 1969 schedule: CYBORG 2087 11:30pm
On this evening, Bob Wilkins showed a low budget Sci-Fi movie starring Michael (THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL) Rennie. The movie is about a cyborg from the year 2087 sent back in time to 1966 to change the future. Sounds a lot like THE TERMINATOR (1984) to me,
November 1, 1969 Schedule: BLACK SUNDAY 11:45pm
On the day after Halloween, Bob Wilkins showed the Mario Bava classic, BLACK SUNDAY. This movie is available on DVD from Starz/Anchor Bay Entertainment in its original Italian Language version (THE MASK OF SATAN).
