"Psycho 2"....
"One Missed Call"..
"Telefon" (1977)...maybe more a crimestory ..than horror
in all this films ...phone call plays an important role....but in "Halloween" and "Dark Water" it dont....the phones ring in almost every movie ;)

The Fog- it's not killer to victim calls but it's still a bit suspenseful

Yes, the Phibes movie where Vincent Price remote-fires a spike into the lug of some unfortunate chap(it might even exit through the other one...).
To this day - and this is true - I sometimes double check the earpiece of the phone I'm using just in case anything might shoot out of it.
Of course where I live, it's also advisable to check public phones haven't got dog faeces around the ear and mouthpieces before use.
Little bastards.

Absolutely, cannot be touched by any phone call. Only other one I thought was pretty cool was the on in Scream where he said "I'm gonna cut you like a fish, bitch!" I found it funny and eeire at the same time. lol

Agreed, Scream sucked ass but the phone call was one of the few highlights of the movie.

I live in Lilliput, and giant dogs roam the streets at night...
Speaking of phones, or more specifically, and thread-changingly, answer-phones... has anyone seen Swingers?
That movie has the best (only?) answer-phone gag scene in history by one of my favourite new actor/writers, Jon Favreau.
