976-EVIL

“Revenge is on the line.”

Hoax (Stephen Geoffreys) is a bullied, unpopular high school student who wants the people tormenting him to pay for it. Then he finds an ad for 976-EVIL, a phone line that reads out daily "horrorscopes," and he calls. Robert Englund, directing for the first time, built the film around that phone number, a premium-rate exchange that was common in 1988 and has since gone dead.
