Can someone help with a really bizarre movie?

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

It's from the 70s and took place on an airplane (so it's quite possible that Karen Black was in it).

I remember the passengers took a little girl's baby doll and made some sort of "offering" put of it because there were evil spirits on the plane. They made the doll look satanic.

I saw this when I was a wee tyke and I remember it scared the hell out of me.

im bobo if no one else can help.

I think she mentioned the Karen Black thing as a joke. Not that the movie actually contained Karen Black. I could be wrong though.

[J.Clints]

Then how am I supposed to help?

[MellySmelly]

Is this it?

The Horror at 37,000 Feet (1973) (TV)
An architect and his wife are flying from London to L.A. with an altar from an ancient abbey secured in the plane's cargo hold. Also aboard the flight are Buddy Ebsen as an pushy millionaire, William Shatner as a drunken, cynical ex-priest, Tammy Grimes as a nutcase, and Chuck Connors as the lantern-jawed pilot. Crew and passengers come into jeopardy when an invisible demon escapes from the altar, and threatens the plane in an effort to destroy the architect's wife. No, it doesn't make any sense, but it's pretty hilarious, and you should watch it anyway.

Ahem....The Correct Response Would Have Been:

"that's It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you everybody who spent time doing research on this, and especially to MellySmelly for getting the right answer. I greatly appreciate it!!!"

The Ghost of Flight 401?

I forgot all about that movie. I was kind of obsessed with seeing it as a kid because I read the book, and it was allegedly based on a true story. If I recall, the basic premise is that flight 401 crashed, and one of the pilots was killed. The plane was in good enough shape that they used it for spare parts, but the ghost of the dead pilot would appear on planes that used the spare parts. I remember that the movie wasn't all that scary, well no scarier than it would normally be to turn your head on a flight and see a smiling Ernest Borgnine sitting next to you.

Anyone remember The Chosen Survivors?

I always get blank stares when I ask anyone but it was the talk of the school yard in 4th grade in Rego Park. It's finally coming out on DVD in a few months.

Shatner probably thought that by flying higher he could avoid that damn wing monster. Things were going OK then, BAM! A freakin' Demon. :devil2:

Sometimes you just can't win.
