When they made "Twilight Zone: The Movie" back in the '80s it was a series of, I believe, four roughly thirty minute segments each done by a different director. At least two of the segments were remakes of the old television shows, and "Terror at 30,000 Feet" was one of them. John Lithgow played the passenger instead of Shat. It just wasn't as convincing, though. Maybe because the old prop-driven planes flew slow enough that you could almost believe it was possible for a gremlin to be on the wing. It's a little harder to believe anything could hang onto the wing of a 737 cruising at 700 mph. But it was kinda cool when they strapped Lithgow into the ambulance to take him off to the nut-house at the end of the segment, the attendant (Dan Akroyd) turned on the radio and it was playing "Midnight Special". Unfortunately, Credence Clearwater Revival's version, not Huddie's. See, it's a music thread after all.
