‘Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead’ Getting an Updated “Reimaging”

Remember the hilarious chaos of 1991’s black comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead? That wacky tale of teenage independence and unfortunate demise is getting a modern-day makeover. And it’s packing a surprising punch in its suitcase. Forget PG-13 shenanigans because this remake aims for an R-rating, raising eyebrows and anticipation in equal measure. A New Take: News of the remake first broke in 2020, with Treehouse Pictures promising a “diverse remake” centered on a family navigating the unexpected after their mom leaves town. Director Bille Woodruff (“Yellowjackets”) and writer Chuck Hayward (“WandaVision”) are reportedly joining forces to concoct a “new interpretation” that’s both witty and relevant to today’s world, at least that was the case, the last time we heard. The latest buzz surrounding the project isn’t about clever dialogue or social commentary. The official MPA rating is R. Yes, the film that once tickled our teenage funny bones with its PG-13 antics is stepping into more mature territory.
