I saw this when it first aired in the early 70′s, staying up late one Saturday night as I got to do for something I wanted to watch. I was about 13, and enjoyed the movie, and finally found a bootleg DVD online and ordered it before the company was put out of business.

I was lucky to get it, and have watched it a couple of times since, reliving my younger days!

I remember the first and the last time I saw this movie in the early 80′s. It scared the shit out of me since I was a kid. I was at my uncle’s house and I had a relative named sheila. So after the movie ended she went upstairs to the toilet alone in the dark. My brother and two of my other cousins came to the toilet door and spook my cousin shiela calling her name. She rushed out with with her pants wet with her own urine…

Sure, if they’d get off their asses and have careers. (A DS9 Month would be even worse.)

Now that “Original Crew Month” is over, are there plans to someday do “TNG Month” etc.? I’ve enjoyed the concept of grouping movies by Star Trek cast members!

I saw this one, maybe not in it’s original airing, but several time during the early/mid 70′s when all those movie-of-the-week films were in heavy rotation. A perfect amalgam of the Exorcist, Posideon Adventure and Airport. The ending horrified me seeing it as a child, of course, I hadn’t yet seen any of the above mentioned films. I won’t give away the ending for those who haven’t seen it but ask yourselves, what plot point do those three films have in common? And while I wouldn’t call the cast “feature film A-list”, I certainly think of them as “made for TV A-list”. One of many “spooky” TV movies of the day, stemming from the success of “Fear No Evil” in ’69 and culminating with the best one (IMO), “Spectre” in ’76.

I’ll have to watch and see if that’s a trend. (Disillusioned Priests Month, coming up!)

Ever noticed that when priests lose their faith, they wear gray turtlenecks from then on? It’s kind of like a priest’s outfit, but instead of b&w, everything’s GRAY now, man.

You know, if the movie Airplane was making fun of any specific movie, I’m guessing this was the one.

“I can think of a lot of ways to expand Nightmare at 20,000 Feet into a feature length film. None of them would make it a better story but when has that stopped movie makers?”

Heck, you could get 20 minutes out of the TSA security screening alone. 8^)

Oh, and I guess I care because I actually saw him (from a distance) many, many years ago when I went to see a movie at Century City. One of the perks of growing up in Southern California.
