Nightmare at 20,000 Feet - August In The Twilight Zone | Alex Carson

To a man who fears flying, boarding a plane equates to a “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”. But, the very difference between that scenario and the one in today’s discussion is that this man just sought out consultation for his phobia and, alongside his wife, is heading back home. And, with takeoff awaiting, be sure to fasten your seatbelt and have a safe flight, or, at least as safe as a flight could be when in The Twilight Zone.

All through August of 2020, I'll be sharing my 30 favorite episodes, in no particular order, as part of my series, "August In The Twilight Zone". I'll be covering their synopses & twists, some background around the episodes themselves, and my own thoughts. Today, we’re foreseeing a man who faces, first-hand, a “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” (Season 5, Episode 3).

*Update [for all August In TTZ Episodes uploaded September 1st, onwards]: As I did take a few days off from uploading in August, due to focusing on myself and starting school again, the remainder of the series will be released as soon as I can and prolong itself into, at least, the first full week of September 2020. Thanks for understanding, and excited to see the series' completion and the beginning of new creative projects to come!
