Dr Lao and The Twilight Zone

When Mr Cunningham first sees the yeti/abominable snowman, I'm struck at how much he (the yeti) resembled the monster in the Twilight Zone episode in "Nightmare at 20000 Feet" that William Shatner sees destroying the aircraft engine.

Are these in fact the same makeup effects or is it just a coincidence?

It's probably coincidence, but you're correct.

They are similar.

No, they're not the same.

Here's a side-by-side:

Both were created by William Tuttle, however - so you're not entirely off-base!
