70s movie help 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!

Hey Chet19, I am not sure what the first film is but the second one is called Satan's Triangle. This is a short discription of the movie. The female survivor of a shipwreck and two Coast Guard helicopter pilots sent to rescue her find themselves trapped in a mysterious part of the ocean known as Satan's Triangle.

This is the link to the area on YouTube where you can find the video. It is in I believe 7-9 parts but you can save it as a playlist and watch the whole thing. Hope this helps

Some friends and I went body surfing at the beach in the early 80's. One friend said, "Hey, what movie is this from?" He laid his face down in the water, stretched out his arms, and stating floating. He then lifted his face with a wicked smile, and started swimming towards us.... We all busted up with laughter.

Tales from the Crypt (1972) ends with a bunch of people walking through a door and falling down to a fiery Hell. In Vault of Horror (1973) a group of men who are actually doomed souls leave an elevator and enter a fog-bound graveyard. Both movies are British, produced by Amicus.
