The babysitter starts to get spooked when the man keeps calling.
"The Babysitter" is the twenty-third story included in the book Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The story is based upon the 1960s urban legend known as The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs (oftentimes shortened to The Baby-sitter or The Sitter), which would also inspire the 1974 film, Black Christmas (also known as Silent Night, Evil Night, and Stranger in the House); the 1979 film, When a Stranger Calls as well as its 1993 sequel When a Stranger Calls Back as well as a 2006 remake.
