80's Stalker Slasher Flick

[indianasmith]

OK, I saw this movie when I was in the Navy (82-86), but I'm not sure how long it had been out.  It was about a killer who stalked his victims over the phone, and this good-looking blond reporter somehow figured out his identity and began calling and taunting him as a "phone freak."  But then she used the same phrase to describe him on the air, and he knew she was the one who was onto him and went to her house and kidnapped her kid sister . . .  oh, and in the final chase scene (it was either underground or in some deserted house or building) she was either nekkid or in her underwear, because I remember she had a butterfly tattoo, back in the age before it was common for women to be inked.

Ring any bells, anyone?

I think it was "don't Answer the phone" - I wouldn't have forgotten the Hemingways!

I read this description, and had an instant thought of a possible title.  I mention this title with a full admission that I have never seen this film, but the description kind of fits.

"Eyes Of A Stranger" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082352/  Lauren Tewes plays a reporter, and the killer taunts folks over the phone.  It also fits the time frame that the original poster would have seen the film.

Just a suggestion.
