Help with a 70s TV movie please...

I'm looking for a film from the 70s, probably a TV movie, and I only vaguely remember a couple of scenes. They might even be from two different movies, I'm not sure.
1. Toward the end, some characters are at an elevator, and when it opens up, they see fire down below. The elevator is taking them down to hell. I'm pretty sure that is the final scene, but I could be wrong. It's NOT Haunts of the Very Rich, but I think it has that feel to it...where people don't realize they are dead until the elevator appears.
2. There's a guy in a plane or helicopter, and I believe the plane is about to crash...or it's going down fast. Somehow, a Satan figure appears, and tells the guy that if you sell me your soul, I will save you from this crash. I believe this is toward the end of the movie too.

ANY HELP would be awesome. Thanks!

Your movie sounds intriguing. I've been a horror/sci-fi film buff since I was 8 years old. I'm now 45 years old and have seen countless flicks within many genres and eras. But your movie doesn't "ring any bells."

Here is a site that should help you begin your research:

Please let us know when you discover the title of your film.

Sincerely,

Steve :-)

Keep the faith!

The ending you describe in number 1 certainly sounds a lot like the end of the omnibus film, Tales from the Crypt, 1972 British production.

I don't recognize the first film but the second one sounds like 'Satan's Triangle' (1975). It starred Kim Novak, Doug McClure, and Michael Conrad. Conrad was a Coast Guard helicopter pilot.

Thanks, Soujum. It was definitely Satan's Triangle. I found it a few months ago, and it still remains scary 40 years later!
