Best Airplane Horror Movies

Like the news of flight attendants losing it on flights and shouting, causing scenes and scaring passengers isn't enough, or the threat of shoe bombers and more hasn't made us shell-shocked, along with rising costs, security issues, and general frustration with small tight seating and no meals for free, flying is a horror. But, we must have always known that because there are some killer horror movies based on flying...

  1. The segment from Twilight Zone:The Movie with the creature on the airplane wing is my favorite in this catagory! So creepy... The plane crash scene in Castaway is probably the most realistic ever put to film. That makes you think twice about flying.
