"The Demon" (1979) was a South African (!) production I think.
AKA "Midnight Caller"
It stars Cameron Mitchell and a bleached blond Jennifer Holmes. Typical Halloween rip off that doesn't even try to explain who the evil psycho is or why he is bent on killing people...
Jennifer Holmes is in her house (so Holmes is home so to speak) and wearing a bathrobe and panties when evil guy shows up. She fights him off and runs upstairs and decides to hide in the attic, because that's what almost naked chicks do when being stalked in the 70's I guess. Not complaining, though.
As she climbs up, her robe gets caught and drops to the floor. Oopsie. Now she's in the attic in just her white panties but it's kinda dark and hard to see.
She tries to climb up through the roof but evil guy hears her and runs to the attic. We see breasts as our girl tries to climb through the hole. He grabs her, pulls her back, and then they both fall through the ceiling. Holmes runs in to the bathroom still in just her underpants...because when you have a head start on the killer, it's better to run in to the upstairs bathroom with no exit instead of down the stairs and out of the house...
I have the DVD but it's very old and my DVD player attached to my IMAC won't play it-- so I can't get the best screen grabs. The film is available on YouTube if you want to check it out:

Two scenes of interest: at the 1hr. 3 minute mark and the 1hr. 25 minute mark.
Jennifer Holmes is 67 now and still around. Most of her credits as an actor are from the 80's. She appeared in a lot of TV shows like The Fall Guy, Misfits of Science, Webster, and Knight Rider. And I'm sure there's gotta be a TJ Hooker episode in there somewhere, because why not?
Screen grabs are not very good-- low quality captures from YouTube.
