‘Now, horror has a new number’
976-EVIL is a 1988 American horror feature film about a nerdy young man who calls the titular phone line and turns into a demonic killer. The title refers to the 976 telephone exchange, a now mostly defunct premium-rate telephone number system that was popular in the late 1980s.
Directed by actor Robert Englund (he also directed Killer Pad) from a screenplay co-written by Rhet Topham and Brian Helgeland (Trick or Treat), the movie stars Stephen Geoffreys (Moon 44; The Chair; Fright Night), Patrick O’Bryan, Jim Metzler and Sandy Dennis (Parents; God Told Me To).
