    Both correct. # 144 Hellboy ( 2004 ) &  # 147 Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter ( 2012 ).

    #148 - Pet Sematary.

    Sometimes dead is better...

  • # 149 is The Abominable Snowman Of The Himalayas ( 1957).

                                                                                                       Image # 150. Name the film title. From an Australian daybill.
  • Clue for # 150 is that this exact image seems exclusive to Australian posters as far as I can see.

  •  

    Answer for image # 150 is Tales From The Darkside The Movie ( 1990 ). Different from original overseas artwork but nevertheless I had expected someone to know this one which I had thought was easy so I am a little disappointed that there was no result.

  • Vera Hruba was an ice skater from Czechoslovakia, who started in movies performing her ice skating routines, and her English was so limited she was forced to learn her lines phonetically!

    After her early ice skating movies, she became the "protege" of Republic Pictures studio head Herbert Yates, and they married in 1952. He starred her in a series of movies, and gave her an added a last name, "Ralston", making her "Vera Hruba Ralston", and later dropped the "Hruba", just becoming "Vera Ralston", and I guess the idea was to make her sound less "foreign".

    Her movies were expensive flops (even with John Wayne in some!), partially because she had a VERY thick accent, and Yates was fired from Republic in 1958 (partially because he insisted on starring his wife in movies that lost money), at which point Ralston wisely retired. Yates passed away in 1966 and Ralston inherited $10 million, and she lived until 2003, age 79.

  • Correct answer from Bruce with The Lady And The Monster ( 1944 ) poster displayed and interesting information on Vera Ralston. By all reports she was a nice person and I didn't mind her performance in Fair Wind To Java ( 1953 ).

    The original was a classic and this remake for a change is very good.
