Episode 101 - Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Psycho
If you didn't have a crush on one of your babysitters when you were a kid, it's safe to say that you weren't doing childhood correctly. We still remember our first babysitter crush. It was the summer of 1993. There she stood in our doorway on that first beautiful Michigan evening. With the sun setting behind her, we laid our eyes on her silhouetted figure, a halo of golden rays dancing around her head. Her liver-spotted hand rested delicately on her mahogany cane. As she leaned in to greet us with a fistful of Werther's Originals, she spoke those first magical words, "Bedtime is 7 sharp. I'm not missing Jeopardy for this." Be still our heart. It was a whirlwind summer, and we learned a lot about ourselves.
Mainly that we kinda have a thing for older women. Much older women.
Babysitters have always been a classic trope in horror movies. Usually they serve as a way to pad the body count of the villain, but this week we decided to turn the trope on its head, and take a look at some babysitters gone bad.
So, if you've ever had a crush on a babysitter, even if she was bad, grab some Crush Raspberry Sour from 10 Barrel Brewing, sneak out when she's not looking, and meet us in the treehouse for some movie talk.
