Help me identify this old slasher flick.

I'm trying to remember an old slasher movie from the early 80's. I think Jamie Lee Curtis might of been it. It was about this girl who I think was babysitting and getting these terrifying phone calls threatening to kill her. Anyway, the police ended up tracing the calls to her, and ended up showing that the threats were made from a phone upstairs. I can't for the life of me remember the name of this movie.

Black Christmas

Its a Canadian movie by John Carpenter and I think it came out in 1974 but I am not sure.

Edit: not by John Carpenter but I heard he had something to do with it.
