Second feature: Dance of Death. This one is a mystery. The two monster / horror movies known by this title are a 1969 British film which, barring time travel, could not be the one. The other is a 1968 Mexican horror film alternately titled House of Evil. It stars Boris Karloff and would seem to fit but it was filmed in May 1968 and not released theatrically until 1972. So we have the time travel problem again. It is most likely the 1960 mystery, The Dance of Death, which is a Simon Templer movie, also known as "The Saint."

Die, Monster, Die (1965)
February 14
No Nightmare Movie, the 11th Hour Movie again. The short-lived Saturday experiment is apparently over.
February 20
Provo Daily Herald lists Nightmare Theater but no movie. Salt Lake Tribune does not list Nightmare Theater but the 11th Hour Movie, The Kentuckian. This is certainly an error as The Kentuckian is listed again the next night.
