phone calls in horror movies
 

Names some horror or suspense movies with phone call scenes.

All I can think of are:

Scream
Ring
The Mothman Prophecies

Black Christmas---1974

He Knows Your Alone--1980

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO. the phone calls in the mothman prophecies. somethin about that creeped me out.

when a stranger calls

when a stranger calls is the benchmark of terror phone calls

Se7en
Halloween

Phone Calls In Horror Films
 

DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE

Phone
Ju-on Grudge
ju-on Grudge 2
Dark Water
Halloween

"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 ;)

"This thread is stupid"

ummm.....phonebooth?

can you really classify that crap as horror or suspence?

"Don't Answer the Phone!" (1980)

fear dot com.

(which sucked beyond all belief.)

Friday the 13th part 2

Those phone commercials with Carrot Top, Scary as all hell.

DON'T FORGET "SILENT NIGHT, BLOODY NIGHT"

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

"SAW"

Saw kicked ass......hmmmm, lemme think Nightmare on Elm Street...in one of them doesn't the phone lick the girl?

Leprachaun, when that hand comes outta the phone, not scary but funny :D

yup, forget which one though. All the freddy movies are blurred together in my mind, same with Jason.

one of the Dr Phibes movies has a spike coming through the phone line and into a guys head ...

your all mad Scream re invented the home alone phone call and has gotta be number one for tension

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.

yeah, its just an old trick used by producers to differinciate the characters in the movie

how the hell are these dogs reaching high enough to shit on your pay phones !!!!

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

Sceams a terrible movie. Wes should have quit after Last House....

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.

THE BEST EVER phone scene in any movie.
I laughed my ass off ..

the whole film was a gas but that was the highlight.

'never call me again'

"Look, It's not you, it's me..."

lol
