    I probably would have checked the children the first time the stranger asked me if I had.I thought Jill was ridiculous not to after the first time, until I realized she would have been killed if she had.

      If the children were not mine and i was just babysitting someone elses i would just open the nearest window, climb through, then do a running bolt across the street. 🙂

        I probably would if I did or didn't hear the legend because the children are my responsibility and their safety comes first. If I suspected that someone was in the house, well, I would have to watch my back the best I could until I got them to safety.

          It's the FACT of what he says that's so scary. How on earth would he know that Jill is the babysitter, and that there are children in the house, if he weren't already there? That's what Jill doesn't stop to think about. She's never been to the house before; she's a new babysitter for this married couple. Either the caller would have been very familiar with the neighborhood (such as a close neighbor), or he's in the house itself. That's what she should have mentioned when she called the police the first time. It's not just that he's trying to scare her. He has knowledge that he shouldn't have.

            Haha my thoughts exactly!! Screw the children, if they're not mine or related to me, i'm getting the beep out of that house!!! LOL. Seriously, I bet a lot of people would and just don't want to admit it so they act all morale saying they would check them and that their safety comes first. Honestly, anyone who would go check them would be stupid and dead. If you were smart you would realize that the caller is in the house because he knows things and it's a set up so get the beep out of there! Plus if you get out you can go to safety and get help.

              Not necessarily. A few years back there was a special on TV on real killers like Hannibal Lector, the charismatic and the conniving, and the woman on TV was talking about one in particular, and one night she was at home and the phone rang, and it was him and he said he was right outside her front window to come and look. And that he knew where the things in her house were and where in the house she was and he kept telling her come look out the window, and she finally did, and he said 'got you'. He was locked up somewhere but he put on a very good act making it seem like he WAS right there watching her.

                  I would have checked the children, while I was carrying a fireplace poker or similar weapon just in case. Better safe than sorry I always say.

                      Yes but she had no way of knowing that. The killer asked her to "check the children" presumably to get her upstairs so he could kill her too.

                        When i was younger and I babysat, I'd never seen this movie. But I was the one who put the kids to sleep, and I would check on them every half hour or so.. If I had a creepy phone call, I would of grabbed the kids and bolted!

                              HELL NO. I would've gotten the hell out of there as fast as I could. I would've gone to the neighbors or ran all the way to the police precinct myself. Just like in an airplane.you put the oxygen mask on yourself FIRST.THEN you help others. Back in 1979 she probably made $2.00 per hour babysitting. NOBODY'S kids (plus only 2 bucks an hour) are worth getting killed for. In fact, this movie probably made a lot of people safer. It made girls think twice about babysitting.and it made parents think twice about having young babysitters who weren't wise enough to have that responsibility.
