Varan the Unbelievable is no classic, but hey, it's free on Amazon Prime. I think the only only Toho giant monster movie there is Space Ameba (aka Yog Monster from Space). You could do worse, certainly.

Although the two Dark Shadows movies aren't available (you can rent them, though) on Amazon Prime, the show is there, broken into hunks and story arcs. Of course it ran five days a week so there's a lot of it. Meanwhile, there's a pretty good documentary on the program and creator Dan Curtis called…

FoJ Michael C suggested this cult classic (you ever noticed how EVERY horror movie is called a "cult classic" by someone? I think this actually falls into that category, though). Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things was one of the first Romero-influenced zombie films that had a bit more humor to it. As such…

"Cecil, NOOO!" Looking for crappy boring schlock to watch over the long weekend? Phantom of 10000 Leagues on Amazon Prime. Have an absolutely terrific weekend, everyone.

The Herzog Nosfertu. Never saw it, but I'm sure it's good, and since I can watch it for free, why not? Starring, of course, Klaus Kinski. The advantage there is that you don't need to spend any money on makeup or anything.

Monster from Green Hell is one of those films that is a real slog at 70 minutes, and this is, after all, the money shot, but damn, I love giant props like that.

How about another "classic" vs. movie on Amazon Prime. There's Frankenstein meets the Space Monster. It did well at T-Fest several years ago, anyway.

Want to see some FANTASTIC monster a monster action on Amazon Prime? I'm sure they have some. Also, they have Robot vs the Aztec Mummy.

Bowery at Midnight is basically a redo of Bela's earlier Edgar Wallace fick Dead Eyes of London/The Human Monster, only with zombies. Ah, zombies (particularly the pre-Romero ones). The cheapie producer's favorite monster. Yes, this is the end of the movie. C'mon, there's no way that's a spoiler.

Seventh Curse is a typically crazy Chinese supernatural action flick, starring a young Chow Yun-Fat and Maggie Cheung. On Amazon Prime.
