OK, I'm only going to post this once, so everyone pay attention.

BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS was a monster movie from the early 1950's that has
nothing at all to do with William Shatner, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, STAR TREK, or
any of that stuff.

"Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" was the TWILIGHT ZONE episode starring Shatner as
a man who has just gotten out of a sanitarium, and is heading home, when he
spots a gremlin on the ing, trying to damage the plane engines. This episode
was remade in the TZ movie, but did not star Shatner this time.

HORROR AT 37,000 FEET was a made for tv movie, with William Shatner as a priest
traveling on a plane which has ancient Druid spirit trapped in some artifact in
the luggage compartment, trying to get out. It also starred Roy Thinnes, Tammy
Grimes, and Buddy Ebsen.
