Ode to barefoot babysitters

They remade The Amityville Horror in 2005 (this is the remake's fifteenth anniversary). My favorite moment in the film is when Rachel Nichols shows up as the babysitter. 


Nichols plays the hot babysitter perfectly, even going barefoot the whole time she's in the house with the kids (one of whom is a very young Chloƫ Grace Moretz, as the clan's youngest child).


Nichols reminds me of the babysitters that I had as a kid--many of whom also went barefoot while watching me (either while at my house, or while I was at theirs). 


The Amityville remake even accurately shows the forbidden lust that I felt for many of my sitters, who were all older than me. Although, thankfully, none of my sitters were locked in the closet by angry ghosts.


Melissa George, who plays the mother of the family, also has a few BF scenes here and there in the Amityville remake.


Here she wakes up to find her husband (played by Ryan Reynolds of Deadpool fame) not in bed with her, and so she goes on a BF excursion to look for him. 


Personally, I've never believed that the story behind the Amityville Horror was true, but that didn't stop me from enjoying both film versions (the original, from 1979, as well as the 2005 remake), and a few of the multitude of Amityville sequels that were churned out.
