SEASON 1, EPISODE 16
CABIN FEVER


Commuter flight #976 from Chicago to Springwood doesn't need an in-flight movie
as it becomes the setting for terror and turbulence that provide the passengers
entertainment when the son of an airplane parts manufacturer (Brett Cullen) pays
for his father's mistakes. Later, a flight attendant from that flight (Lezlie Deane)
learns about taxidermy the hard way from a ghoulish collector, a lonely passenger
in need of company- and a victim for his deadly collection.
