Every title from the 1960s that is on the air at Starlite TV right now, across all of our channels, sorted by year. Films from this decade are on Starlite TV because they are U.S. government works, were published without a valid notice, or their copyrights were never renewed; each title page shows the evidence.

Starlite TV works like broadcast TV, so these play on schedules: open a title to see when it airs next in your time zone, or jump into a channel live.

The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) 73 min · Graveyard Shift
Roger Corman was famous for making films fast and cheap, and The Little Shop of Horrors may be his most famous example.
Night of the Living Dead (1968) 95 min · Graveyard Shift
Night of the Living Dead was made by a group of friends in and around Pittsburgh who had been producing TV commercials and industrial films through their company, The Latent Image. George A.
