Closet? Weaker doors, enclosed space. If they come to kill you and your in the closet, your dead.
Bathtub? Bathroom door may or may not be sturdier then the closet doors, but the front door is generally the sturdiest. So if they wanted you dead, and could break the front door, then the bathroom door would be easier. And again, your in a enclosed space, and thus dead.
Under the bed? A cliche place to hide, but effective. A lot of people, even knowing that it's a good hiding place, wouldn't think to check it. Still though, depends on the size of the person and how far from the ground the bed is. You may not be able to fit under it, so this isn't that reliable of a place.
In the dryer? (Yes, it sounds odd. But I've hid in the dryer many times when I was younger when playing hide and seek) Same as above. It's a rarely checked place, but you'd have to be able to fit.
Frankly, if someone calls saying "I'm going to kill you" then running is your best option. At least then the person after you would be unsure of where you are.
But yeah, about going outside being fatal? I really don't want to bring this up, but... All the kids killed at Sandy Hook? They were inside the school when they were shot. The ones that made it outside weren't shot. So... Yeah... I've got 27 names that show staying inside is fatal.
