There's nothing more unnerving than receiving a unknown phone call in the middle of the night. Except, of course, receiving a phone call that consists of silence for a moment before you start to detect sounds of heavy breathing or fiendish laughter on the other end before the caller hangs up; the caller may even be an obsessive stalker that will keep calling you, even after you tell them to stop it. Sometimes there may just be a phone ringing and no one answers on the other line or someone just called and hung up without even talking. Sometimes the voice initially sounds so charming and trustworthy that you can't help but strike up a conversation with the person. When this happens, the caller then switches their kind tone for a more menacing tone and you suddenly find yourself wishing that you had not answered the phone at all. Particularly when you find out that The Calls Are Coming from Inside the House. Related to Evil Phone, when the case is more supernatural. Preferred tactic of the Evil Debt Collector, and it used to be common among marketers/salespeople, before they found spam. Prank Calls can easily become this, especially if the person on the receiving end gets multiple prank calls. |

Nancy tries to call Glen in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) to warn him not to go to sleep. Then the phone rings. She picks it up. It's the sound of Fred's claws being sharpened. She (understandably) freaks out, tears the phone out of the plug, and throws it across the room. Then, despite being unplugged, it starts ringing again. This time, it's Freddy again, telling her that "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy", and then his tongue sticks out the phone. | |

The "333" arc on season 4 of CSI: NY had Mac getting these for quite a while. They always came at 3:33 am or pm and usually had only silence. The guy behind it escalated things to cryptic jigsaw puzzles and was eventually found to be the brother of a boy Mac knew as a teen, who was set on avenging his brother's death. They had all tagged along with one of the boys on a delivery job and got attacked. Mac grabbed a gun but he was just a scared kid and couldn't pull the trigger, resulting in the attacker's brother dying. It ended with a hostage plot, but with the team's help Mac escaped and got the guy. | |

On It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dennis explains to the rest of The Gang his system for manipulating and tormenting women. One example is to nurture dependence on you, which he achieves by disguising his voice and making threatening phone calls to her, then "taking care of" the guy harassing her. A later step in the plan has him completely severe all contact with her and not explaining why, during which time he starts making those calls again. | |

One Halloween Special episode of The Simpsons hilariously subverted this trope when the family accidental ran over and killed Ned Flanders. Homer later receives a creepy stalkerish phone call from a raspy-voiced psycho, but when he replies to the caller it turns out that the caller is his friend Moe the bartender, who accidentally dialled a wrong number while trying to stalk Ned's wife Maude. In another episode, Rabbi Krustovski keeps getting silent phone calls, occasionally punctuated by heavy breathing. It's actually his estranged son Krusty the Clown, trying to work up the courage to speak to his father and sighing in frustration before hanging up. Lest we forget all the times Bart prank-called Moe, requesting somebody with a Punny Name that Moe always managed to phrase in the most hilarity-inducing way - "Bea O'Problem? Do I have a Bea O'Problem?"; "Mya Buttreeks? Does anyone know Mya Buttreeks?". |

Supernatural: Gordon and Dean's relationship starts as Ho Yay in "Bloodlust" when they bond and find they're very much alike, with Gordon acting like a sort of mentor for Dean following the Winchesters' dad dying. Then Dean finds out Gordo's a whack-job and leaves him tied-up in his own mess for three days. When Gordon comes back, he tries to pit Dean against Dean's Not-Love Interest Sam and holds him hostage to lure Sam in, all the while trying hard to convince Dean that he's right, because A.) he still respects Dean as a fellow hunter, and B.) he feels a kinship with Dean as Gordon killed his own vamped sister and now must kill Dean's brother, who might join Hell. When he's turned into a vampire, his first action is to go to where Dean and Sam were, get Dean's scent and track him, leading to a very unpleasant phone conversation in which he tells Dean that no matter where he goes or what he does, he'll find him. | |

Sesame Street: The song "Telephone Rock" by Little Jerry and the Monotones, an all-Muppet (of course) band. The song is about a teenager (Jerry) who intends to spread the good times and great sounds of old-time rock and roll music over the telephone, but he and his buddies wind up harassing a telephone operator (an old spinster woman) in the process. After several warnings to cease and desist, she makes good on a threat to call the police ... and it isn't long before an officer shows up to lock them in the telephone booth and carry them away, presumably to jail. The segment first aired in the winter of 1975, with later airings continuing through the early 1990s, and even got some minor airplay on Dr. Demento's radio programs, but surprisingly the song — unlike others from Sesame Street, either by their original Muppet performances or covers by other artists — was never released as a single. note Incidentally, a follow-up (of sorts) was produced for a new Children's Television Workshop home video, "Rock & Roll!" (a compilation of classic shorts featuring musical performances from Street), where the prank call from "Telephone Rock" framed the major backstory. A giddy teen-aged girl (Allison O'Reilly, best known as Gina) kept calling in requesting the song but the host (Jackman Wolf, a parody of legendary radio personality Wolfman Jack) was unable to connect her with her favorite band. Eventually, the police officer(from the original segment) physically carries the phone booth, with Jerry and his bandmates locked inside, into the radio station to corroborate their claim that they were intended as guests of his program. When Jackman indeed backs up Jerry's claims and lets them perform, the phone operator disgustedly gasps in disbelief while the police officer has no choice but to drop the charges. First aired around the same time as "Telephone Rock" in 1975 was a "Sesame Street News Flash" segment with Kermit the Frog (in his news reporter role) getting a phone call from an unnamed source claiming someone has been standing outside in a blizzard for a long time. Kermit, determined to get a juicy news story, asks passersby if they were the person the caller was referring to; all of them deny the claim, saying they've been outside just a short time. Eventually, Kermit has been outside so long he is almost (literally) buried in snow, when notorious prankster Harvey Kneeslapper admits he made the prank call and duped Kermit into making a fool of himself. Harvey walks off laughing (and fortunate he avoided arrest on, at the very least, harassment charges) while Kermit is too frozen to care. In 1993, Gina, while working the afternoon shift at Hooper's Store, gets a harassing phone call; viewers hear only Gina's side of the conversation, but from the context, the call apparently was from someone who objected to a white girl (Gina) dating an African-American (Savion)note ; indeed, there is evidence their movie date and foreplay prior to said scene went more than what viewers were shown. Telly Monster is also at the store, has overheard the call and Gina becoming upset at what the caller told her, and immediately starts to get upset, wondering why some people hate others just because of their race, religion, etc. — especially since the Street is racially mixed but everyone is friends. Gina and Savion explain and help Telly understand that there are "just some really stupid people in the world, who can't stand to see it when people of different races are friends." note (They also explain a way to deal with hate calls in the future, which most people would not recommend ... Blowing a Raspberry; the recommended way is to simply hang up and if the calls persist call the police.) |

One of the more disturbing scenes in Higurashi: When They Cry involves Keiichi taking a phone call from a distressed Shion, who supposedly went missing a number of days previously. He has only recently found this out, and pleads with her to tell him that he's wrong. All she can do is sob. He then begins to poke holes in her confession that she spoke to another person who went missing around the same time; if she's telling the truth, the only way she could have spoken to them is to have done so after they went missing. There's a moment of silence after he points this out to her, and then she begins to laugh hysterically. Without another word, she hangs up. The PS 2 version of the scene is much creepier. The scene plays out the same right up until the moment of silence. Then Shion starts laughing in a more psychotic style than the anime, then out of nowhere, the volume suddenly become ten times louder as the screen goes, black, is then filled up with text that is Shion's laughter, and then we get a shot of Shion in a completely dark room where all that can be seen is her face, which can be only describe as a clown-esque deranged smile, all while the laughter goes on. |

He's nicknamed "the Phone Freak Kid", because tracing these people is the only use anyone can see for his powers. | |

American Dad!: In "Frannie 911", Francine tries to prove to Roger that Stan cares about him by using a voice modulator and pretending to hold Roger for ransom. When she returns home, Stan is nonchalant and gives surprisingly elaborate explanations for Roger's absence. Ultimately he tells Francine that Roger's people came back for him, and if they stood on the roof waving kitchen utensils they'd receive a special telepathic message. While they're waiting, Stan points out that he knew it was Francine all along because they have caller I.D. and she was calling from her own cell phone. In "Shark?!", Klaus wants to ask out Hayley's friend Danuta. He calls her, but gets nervous and unintentionally creeps her out. |

The call is fielded by Roz as Frasier is running late. He then runs into the studio in an exhausted state and picks up the phone while trying to regain his breath.

Spongebob Squarepants: In "Jellyfish Hunter", SpongeBob gets a phone call late at night after spending the day hunting jellyfish for Mr. Krabs. The call consists of menacing heavy breathing on the other line, and the camera cuts to reveal that the caller in question is No Name, the mysterious blue jellyfish that SpongeBob has been trying to catch since the start of the episode and who was just shown stalking him on his way home. No Name soon hangs up, leaving SpongeBob highly unnerved. Spoofed in "Enemy-In-Law". when Plankton falls for Mr. Krabs' mother, he calls her up to ask her out. After stepping on the phone buttons to dial the number, he's left gasping heavily as Mrs. Krabs answers. Upon hearing it, she nearly hangs up but Plankton manages to catch his breath and speak clearly in time. |
