The premise

Here’s the bit.

Becky arrives to babysit for the Hilsmans on the night of their Christmas party and waves off Mr. Hilsman's worries about the Babysitter Mutilator, trusting her lucky rabbit's foot instead of his offered handgun. A news anchor keeps breaking into a holiday movie with ever more alarming bulletins about the killer, and after each one a blood-soaked caller turns up at the door with a harmless explanation: a landscaper who spilled vegetable juice on himself, a masked hockey goalie whose stains are paint from a community-service job, and finally her own boyfriend Bobby, who rolled papier-mache copies of the Hilsmans' heads down the stairs as a prank. Becky dumps Bobby on the spot, only for the anchor to appear in the living room reporting live that the Mutilator has been caught and revealing that he is the killer himself before police haul him away, leaving Becky to settle back into her evening.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

That's not blood. It's V8. I spilled it on myself in my van.

I got a paper cut this morning and I'm a hemophiliac.

And the babysitter mutilator is me.
