I just saw a new commercial for some credit card company and practically jumped out of my seat! It features a bunch of white "monsters" attacking some people (I wasn't paying attention really) and I suddenly realized that they were the spitting image of the creature in the most frightening bit of horror fantasy that I was ever exposed to.

T'was (I believe) one of the original "Twilight Zone" shows, probably from the sixties, and once again I THINK it was titled "Terror at 30,000 Feet". It starred the ubiquitous William Shatner, of Mudcat fame and tedium, and was an absolute corker of a show.

Shatner is flyin' along during some bad (snowy?) weather, and decides to lift the little window shade and peer outside. Through the wind and snow he sees this furry creature ON THE WING trying to rip a piece off the plane! He freaks, and tells the Stewardess (this is back before they were called "Stewpeople") and the pilot etc. They think he's nuts, and of course the creature disappears every time someone ELSE looks out the window.

This doesn't sound that scary, does it? But HOLY COW, You had to be there! I'm NEVER scared at movies.....I laughed through 'the Excorcist', and even 'Psycho' didn't come close to this TV half hour. I've seen at least two re-runs, and they are just as frightening. I'm not kidding...A couple of times I was a tad nervous about looking out the window at night IN A REAL PLANE, ha ha!

Anyway.....anyone else seen the commercial....the original TV show...any thoughts on what you find REALLY scary?

Cheers
