So many movies ... so much to celebrate!!!

According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"An invisible demon in the cargo hold of a jet airliner terrorizes the passengers."
Editor's Note:
Because some folks like this sort of trivia (namely, me!), it's worth noting that 1973's The Horror At 37,000 Feet has some incredible star-powered overlap so far as it pertains to the talent in the realms of the Fantastic. Chiefly, the telefilm has a great number of connections to other storied franchises. For example, star William Shatner had already established himself in the field as none other than Captain James T. Kirk of the starship Enterprise aboard Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, and star Ray Thinnes became known to home audiences for his work as the elusive David Vincent aboard TV's fondly remembered The Invaders. Star Paul Winfield would join the Star Trek franchise with a big role aboard Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan (in a few years) as well as make a hugely memorable appearance aboard Star Trek: The Next Generation as 'Darmok.' Darleen Carr would go on to make several guest appearances aboard a solid handful of SciFi and Fantasy shows, including V, Probe, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. And Lynn Loring had a plum role aboard 1969's Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun. Talk about your SciFi credentials!
