A quiet night of babysitting rarely stays quiet in the movies, whether it spirals into a wild comic adventure or a night of pure terror. In Halloween (1978): A masked killer stalks a babysitter and her friends through a quiet suburban town on Halloween night. Equally memorable is Adventures in Babysitting (1987): A babysitter’s planned quiet night explodes into a wild overnight rescue mission across downtown Chicago.
