Abstract
This video essay explores the role of the landline in five canonical telephone slasher films - Sorry, Wrong Number (1948), Black Christmas (1974), When a Stranger Calls (1979), Scream (1996) and Scream (2022). It utilises the potential of videographic criticism to imagine happier endings for the women victims in these films.
