The Horror at 37,000 Feet (1973 TV Movie)
6/10
Childhood nightmare revisited
1 February 2017
I don't know what satanic cult my parents prescribed to, but I clearly remember being scarred for life with the vision of a real hair stuffed baby doll being offered to an ancient druid demon on a plane (and melting). Thanks for that, Mum and Dad. Although it might have been the babysitter watching that while you were out dealing crack.

So, William Shatner is an alky priest on a plane losing his faith and hitting the hooch while a couple wonder if taking the ancient remnants of a druid altar on a plane to America is a good idea. Probably not as the druid demon goes nuts (in a polite English fashion that only results in about two fatalities, and a dog) while everyone screams and all that crap.

Seriously, this one stuck in my mind for years, but the version in my mind turned out to be more freaky than the actual version. I had a vision of a huge hooded figure type scaring the crap out of the passengers, but that didn't happen. The baby doll thing did happen, and it is still kind of freaky, but the scariest thing is some blue screen work at the end.

Still, it's worth a watch and is rather good for a TV movie. Grizzly still gives me the fear (seriously, what the feck was wrong with my parents at the time?) but this one is a cheese-or-rama.
