The Babysitter: Killer Queen

The Babysitter: Killer Queen, as a horror-comedy, primarily elicits **Humor** through its self-aware tone, over-the-top gore, and witty dialogue, often intentionally deflecting genuine dread. **Fear** and **Anxiety** are present due to the returning cult members and dangerous situations Cole faces, but these are frequently undercut by comedic elements or quickly resolved. **Surprise** arises from unexpected plot twists, jump scares, and the film's often absurd comedic turns. **Joy** and **Happiness** stem from the overall lighthearted and entertaining nature of the movie, as well as moments of character triumph and camaraderie. **Excitement** and **Anticipation** are generated by the fast-paced action sequences and the continuous threat, keeping viewers engaged in Cole's desperate fight for survival against his past demons. The film also evokes **Disgust** and a sense of the **Disturbing** through its stylized gore, though these are typically presented in a way that leans into the comedic rather than genuinely unsettling.
