 X36
If I had exposed any more of this image I am sure it would been very promptly answered 

HONDO

A clue for X36 is that the person in the part image was very popular in the 1960's.

He has been ranked in the top 50 of a Greatest TV Stars of all times list.

The Reluctant Astronaut (1967) - that would be Don Knotts in the image above.

Here he is in one of his less well known roles.

HONDO

Correct for X36. The Reluctant Astronaut was one of the many feature films that Don Knotts completed under his Universal Pictures contract in the 1960's.

Now regarding the Don Knotts Knottsferatu image. It would appear to have been attached and sold on commercially sold clothing as seen following below.

 Apart from this fact I cannot locate anything much else relating to this matter.

I included the Knottsferatu image because it gives me a laugh. That meme always turns up around Halloween. I don't know where or when it first appeared but has been going around for quite a few years. The first time I saw it was without the wording so I think whoever is making the T-shirts has added that...as if it wasn't obvious enough!

Thanks for informing about it as I was completely in the dark regarding its existence until now.

Zombies of Mara Tau ...I have the lobby card

Zombies of Mara Tau ...I have the lobby card

Correct for X37. Zombies Of Mora Tau from 1957. Posters can then certainly come in handy helping here with the quiz answers at times.

Some good clues do happen to appear in the above image,

theartofmovieposters

Susan Sarandon and after a quick google, Checkered Flag or Crash.  Had never heard of it!

HONDO

Correct for X38. Checkered Flag Or Crash from 1977. Released in Australia as Cross Country Wreckers. You may have come across the below Australian  daybill at sometime or another.

Susan Sarandon filmed this movie in between making The Rocky Horror Picture Show ( 1975 ) and Pretty Baby ( 1978 ).

  X39

The image this time around is from a so far neglected by me genre here on this quiz

dedeposter

That looks like a young Eric Sykes so would it be Charley Moon (1956)?

HONDO

dedeposter said:

It is indeed Eric Sykes, You have established who the actor is, and are in the correct decade, so a little more searhing should provide the answer.

 The main lead actor and singer was very popular when he made this film.

dedeposter

Then it must be Tommy the Toreador starring Tommy Steele (1959)

HONDO

X39 is certainly this film. so well worked out.

 X40
Another image to ponder.

The Giant Claw?

HONDO

Rick said:

The Giant Claw?

A really good guess derived from the image provided, but it isn't The Giant Claw though.

The publicity people got a little carried away and altered the monster's appearance. The actual  monster in question  isn't anywhere near  that size, doesn't fly and doesn't have claws, as seen below.

HONDO

A clue for X40 is perhaps in the following additional image.

I'm thinking perhaps one of the Mummy films, a lot of them seem to have publicity stills done on that style but I can't find the examples you've shown. Am I on the right track? It would help if I recognised that actress!

I must admit that this film is certainly going to be very difficult to solve.

Although not an official Mummy film in the traditional sense it is though basically the Mummy story retold a little differently here.

The actress I am sorry to say was very little known when the film was made, let alone remembered today. The film's lead male actor though was well known. He acted in a Stanley Kubrick film, worked with Orson Welles and appeared simultaneously in two different hit television series in the 1970s.

Could it be....Curse of the Faceless Man (1958)?

HONDO

dedeposter said:

Yes X40 is indeed Curse Of the Faceless Man.


 

   
An earlier clue regarding the film's leading man referred to Richard Anderson. He is seen above with Lee Majors in The Six Million Dollar Man and Lindsay Wagner in The Bionic Woman. Anderson is best remembered as playing Oscar Goldman in both The Six Million Man ( 1974 / 1978 ) and The Bionic Woman ( 1976 / 1978 ) top rating  television series.

Think outside the box with this one.

Once again the star pictured playing the piano gives it away for me. That's Arthur Askey in "Ramsbottom Rides Again" (1956). He was one of my favourite British comedy actors,
