is a 1978 American made-for-television horror film written and directed by John Carpenter[1] and starring Lauren Hutton, David Birney and Adrienne Barbeau.

The film was made immediately prior to Carpenter's theatrical hit Halloween; it was produced by Warner Bros. and aired on NBC on November 29, 1978.

Leigh Michaels relocates from New York City to Los Angeles, where she lands a job directing live television for a local station.

Unbeknownst to Leigh, the man who phoned her at work— a stalker residing in a building across from hers— has infiltrated the apartment, and placed recording devices inside to monitor her.

One day, Leigh receives a letter from a company called "Excursions Unlimited," which informs her she has won a free vacation to Europe.

At a bar, Leigh meets Paul Winkless, a philosophy professor at the University of Southern California, whom she finds herself attracted to.

Leigh begins to grow frightened as the anonymous calls continue, as well as unusual phenomena in her apartment, such as her lights dimming of their own accord.

One night, she finds a letter slid under her door from someone claiming to be from Excursions Unlimited, there to discuss her vacation reward.

Leigh is skeptical of the claim, and suspects the anonymous caller and other odd phenomenon is related to the purported "free vacation" notice.

Armed with a knife, Leigh attempts to trail the person who left the letter, and ventures into the basement laundry room.

In a subsequent phone call, the stalker comments on Leigh's appearance, leading her to realize the man resides in the building across from hers.

Police subsequently arrest the man for harassment, though he denies any involvement, and he leaves California to return to his native Iowa.

In the dark, Leigh is suddenly attacked by Stiles, who attempts to throw her over the balcony, but she manages to stab him with a shard of glass before he falls over to his death.
