Foster's Release is a 1971 American short film[1] directed by Terence H. Winkless.[2] The film has been credited with inventing many of the tropes of horror later used in films such as Black Christmas, Halloween and He Knows You're Alone.[3]

Premise

It is a retelling of the common story of "The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs"[4] about a teenage babysitter who, alone in a house at night, is harassed by a series of phone calls made by a psychotic killer.[5] The police and phone company cooperate to try to warn the girl and save her.[6]

Release and reception

The film was featured at the Edinburgh Film Festival, L.A. Filmex and the Chicago Film Festival, among others.[7] In Illinois, it is commonly shown to classes in home economics, for whom it illustrates the concepts of responsibility and deviancy.[8]

The film was shown together with short films by John Carpenter in 2014.[9]
