William Shatner starred in an early '70s TV-Movie called "Terror at 40,000
Feet" or something quite similar to that.  He, of course, was also in the
early '60s Twilight Zone episode mentioned.  At the end of the TV movie the
demon blows a hole in the airplane as 'Ol Bill exorcises it, and the resulting
decompressurization slurps him out of the plane.
