Let's see if we can have some luck with having this one identified.

My first thought was...I know this, but need to narrow it down. It's obviously somebody going out to bomb a creature (it's the 50s, what else would it be?). Searched high and low and settled on Tarantula (1955), and that has to be Clint Eastwood (which no doubt would have featured in one of your clues)

A Correct answer for X22. Admirably worked out. Tarantula from 1955. An early small role for Clint Eastwood.

You worked it out in the end though.

One more for you to attempt to figure out the answer for.

Correct.The Leech Woman being another Universal International film, with this one from 1960. 

 

HONDO

 X24  X25

I have seen these films and they are both well made and above average productions.

Three known faces are presented above for you to ponder on as to who they are, along with the name of the films of course.

There is something in common that connects these two films.

HONDO

Clue for X24 is that a raven is involved in the film..

Clue for X25 is that this film has an apes connection.

Two more images to consider. Two scenes if previously viewed are most likely not forgotten.

To me having viewed this film I think from memory  that the above  scene provided the only genuine shock that occurred  in the film. 

HONDO

A clue for the yet unanswered  X26 is France.

murder in the rue morgue?  taking a stab at it after your france clue

HONDO

murder in the rue morgue?  taking a stab at it after your france clue

Unfortunately not either the 1932 or the 1971 versions of Murders in The Rue Morgue, but oh so close..

theartofmovieposters

Ok so I googled rue morgue film titles...Phantom of the Rue Morgue?

HONDO

X26 is indeed Phantom Of The Rue Morgue from 1954.

As mentioned earlier the scene originally posted was of a dead woman hanging upside down, and the preceding happening was the only genuine shock in the whole film. The woman had suddenly dropped down the opening over the fireplace.

 X28
Another image to ponder.

HONDO

A clue for X28 may assist.

HONDO

Final clue for X28 is that the above image is that of a prolific producer of B grade,films.

Bruce

Is X28 Captain Video: Master of the Stratosphere?

HONDO

Bruce said:

It isn't that film but it is actually a good guess, and you have worked out the correct producer. This unidentified film isn't a serial though, and is  altogether a different genre of film. This film had some initial problems in Australia.

As the previous entry isn't proving to be easy to answer how about this one then?
