  • A history of the how the telephone has been used by, and shaped, the cinematic horror genre.
    Special thanks to Ramsey Campbell who suggested Night of the Eagle, Ben Woodiwiss for pointing out Rosemary's Baby. And The Movie Guys who pointed me in the direction of Tetsuo: The Iron Man. And everyone else on twitter who got involved!

    Awesome Video! Not mentioned here, but I love the phonecall with Indrid Cold in The Mothman Prophecies. Nothing really happens but the feeling of dread was incredible because we don't understand what Indrid is or what he wants.

    This was tremendous. Great job. So well researched and put-together. A special thank you for recognizing the influence and importance of Black Christmas.

      Thank you! I actually hadn't watched Black Christmas until I started researching this vid and was pleasantly blown away (also by Blood and Black Lace, which I thought was enormous fun)

    I am looking for a horror movie from 1970's or 1980's, where the killer uses pay phones to call a goth punk rock T.V. dance show with live hard rock band and live dancers. Killer moves through the city killing people and calling the goth rock dance show inbetween kills.The host of the show ends up being the killer's mother. The killer calls the show between muders. The dancers dance the same dance through entire movie, they dance like zombies. The rock band plays the entire song through whole entire movie. The guitar riff for the song is really good and pretty heavy. The song was in Eb E flat.
    The movie starts out with punks packed in a car going to the rock T.V. show and the band playing that killer riff. FR.
    The movie is from the 1970's or early 1980's.
    I think it was 1970's because I couldnt believe that cool heavy riff could have existed. Or maybe I am mistaken and it was early 1980's

    Your content is great. I really love Pulse, truly a movie ahead of its time. Kiyoshi Kurosawa is a great director.
