Never thought you would see William Shatner in a foreign language film? Well, tune in to the Sci-Fi Channel Oct. 13 and check it out.

Shatner appeared in the film "Incubus" in 1965, one year before he was cast as Capt. James T. Kirk in "Star Trek." The entire film, which is about an island filled with female demons who lead corrupt men to their deaths, is done in a language called Esperanto. This "universal language" was developed by Dr. L.L. Zamenhof in 1887 where all words are spelled as pronounced. All nouns end in "o" and all adjectives end in "a." All verbs have only one form for each tense or mood.

Soon after the film's French release in the 1960s, a film lab accidentally destroyed all prints of the film -- including the original negative -- and it was believed totally lost for 30 years. It was found as part of the permanent collection of the Cinémathèque Française in Paris, and was digitally restored with remastered sound.

The film is the only known American film to be done in Esperanto, and was directed by Leslie Stevens, who created "The Outer Limits."

The film is considered curse because a lot of good and bad things happened soon after it was released. Shatner was cast in "Star Trek," cinematographer Conrad Hall got his first Oscar nomination, co-star Milos Milos killed Mickey Rooney's ex-wife before turning the gun on himself, and co-star Ann Atmar committed suicide.

Sci-Fi will air the movie Oct. 13 at 1 a.m. ET just after "William Shatner's Full Moon Fright Night."
