"Archive footage" usually means the person is seen in a snippet playing in the background, like the bit of Tarantula that's on the TV in one scene in The Rookie ... though it could be in a flashback, dream sequence, etc. At any rate, the person in question did not work in the movie under discussion, so it shouldn't be counted for the purposes of this game.
Gant was looking for a Dwight Frye connection via William Smith (Any Which Way You Can), who allegedly played a "village boy" in The Ghost of Frankenstein in 1942, when he was eight. It's his second role listed in the IMDb; he wasn't credited for it. His mini-bio in the same place (supplied by one kdhaisch@aol.com) says, "From 1942, when he was eight, through young adulthood, Bill appeared in many movies as an extra (uncredited)."
For a Frye two-stepper, look to The Black Camel (1931), Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), or several other pictures in which Frye appeared with Bela Lugosi. As followers of Tim Burton's or Johnny Depp's career will recall (from Ed Wood) ... Lugosi was in Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space, starring Gregory Walcott (Joe Kidd, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, The Eiger Sanction, Every Which Way But Loose).

Hemlock, I don't think that's the same person ... according to the IMDb, the first credited role for Caroline Frances Cooke was in Rose of San Juan (1913) ... assuming she was at least a teenager then, she'd have been pushing 80 by the time The Gauntlet was filmed in 1976. Son of Frankenstein (1939) is, in fact, her last credited role.
The earliest date the IMDb has a credit for Carole Cooke, on the other hand, is 1959 ... playing "herself" in an episode of The Desilu Revue.
Carole Cook played the talkative waitress in The Gauntlet ... she looks to be forty-ish.
Ok,it wouldn`t be the first time when www.allmovie.com gives wrong information. Thanks for the correction
