5 Great Horror Movies About Babysitters

gamerant.com:

Babysitting is a perfect scenario for a horror story. After putting the kids to bed, the main character is pretty much alone in a house in the dark, which feels like a great setting for something terrifying to happen. They also have the added stress and fear of wanting to protect the little ones who they are looking after, which adds to the feeling of misery. Sometimes the child characters are also part of the action, especially if they have an evil babysitter or, in the case of one famous horror movie, they have a creepy doll that kills the person who is watching them for the evening.

From some more recent Netflix horror movies to a famous '70s film that has become a legendary part of the genre, there are several scary movies about babysitting that horror fans should check out.

5 Underappreciated Horror Movies With Ambiguous Endings

The Fear Street trilogy's romance between Sam (Olivia Scott Welch) and Deena (Kiana Madeira) is one reason why it was so popular, and the first movie set in 1994 also has a babysitting storyline.

Kate (Julia Rehwald) is babysitting siblings and wants them to sort some pills for her. This is a funny yet unnerving scene that also features a flawless pop culture reference as Kate says that she'll allow the kids to watch My So-Called Life. Although the rest of the movie has nothing to do with babysitting, this moment does feel memorable and it adds a light-hearted scene to what is otherwise a terrifying slasher film. The movie definitely wouldn't feel as fresh without it.

The Babysitter can be considered an underrated '90s horror movie and stars Alicia Silverstone as Jennifer. Once she begins babysitting for Harry's (J.T. Walsh) kids, the terror begins when Harry becomes obsessed with her.
