Horror cinema relies on a number of basic human fears in order to create stories which will be scary as well as entertaining. One of the most basic of these is a fear of the unknown. Those things that go bump in the dark and cold night, the things we can't see. The thoughts they raise create fears that we may feel are irrational; they grab hold of us nonetheless. The urban legend of the babysitter and the stranger upstairs plays directly into the hands of this fear.
