Adrian,
Having started in 16mm, Castle released all of their films in that format, even the new titles towards the end (1976) such as Frankenstein's New Brain, Psycho and Frenzy. In their final catalog every film is available in 16mm.
As for Universal 8, according to their 1979 catalog, many of the horror & sci-fi Super 8 400' digests were also released in 800' 16mm.
The Birds The Bride of Frankenstein Creature From The Black Lagoon (3D) Frankenstein Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman Frenzy Dr. Cyclops Dracula Duel The Incredible Shrinking Man The Invisible Man It Came From Outer Space (3D) The Mummy The Mummy's Ghost The Mummy's Tomb Phantom of the Opera Psycho The Raven Silent Running Son of Frankenstein This Island Earth The Wolfman
All the Abbott & Costello titles (including Who's On First), The Marx Brothers, and W.C. Fields titles.
All boxing films.
All Woody Woodpecker, Pierre Bear, Dynam Doc, Inspector Willoughby, Funny Fables and Musical Cartoons.
Only a handful of non-horrors (aside from comedies and cartoons) were available in the larger format:
Assault On Everest Flower Drum Song I'm No Angel Operation Tall Ships Sweet Charity
They may have released more after the March '79 date.
I don't recall ever seeing the 200' Jaws in 16mm.
