History Film / TheBabysitterKillerQueen

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early on, while gossiping about Phoebe, Melanie wonders how heartless one has to be to kill their own parents. [[spoiler:Later in the movie, when Melanie has been outed as the film's BigBad, she murders her own father, just to drive home how evil she is (not that he is a saint either)]].

'''Melanie''': Because [[spoiler:[[EvilAllAlong I signed my name on it]]]], Cole.

** Cole claims the lotion is for his dry elbows and nothing else. [[spoiler:Phoebe compliments him on how soft his elbows are]].

Two years after defeating a cult led by his babysitter Bee, Cole continues to be haunted by the horrific events of that night. Everyone in his life thinks he has lost his mind since Bee and all of her friends disappeared, making Cole’s story hard to believe. He is still hopelessly smitten with his best friend and next door neighbor Melanie – the only one who believes his story – who convinces him to forget the past and come to a party thrown at a nearby lake. But when old enemies unexpectedly return, Cole will once again have to outsmart the forces of evil and survive the night.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Even Cole can’t help but crack a smile as Max enthusiastically adulates him for [[spoiler:losing his virginity to Phoebe.]]
* AdultsAreUseless: As usual for this sort of movie. Cole's parents don't believe him. Melanie's dad is only worried about his car. The therapist/school nurse/guidance counselor thinks even Cole having a babysitter was fictional, and Cole's dad locks his keys inside the car, [[spoiler:giving a drugged, knocked-out Cole a chance to wake up and drive off.]]
* AffablyEvil: Max is the most AxCrazy of the cultists. He's also the friendliest and enjoys having taught Cole to stand up for himself. [[spoiler:His final moments are spent giving his respect to Cole for sleeping with Phoebe, cheerfully saying he isn't even mad.]]
* AmbitionIsEvil: Notably, the three members of the Cult without any redemptive qualities or PetTheDog moments—[[spoiler:Melanie]], Allison, and John— are explicitly stated to have made the DealWithTheDevil to become a successful as an influencer, a journalist, and a rapper, respectively. Bee, who made her deal to [[spoiler:save Phoebe]] has a genuine fondness for Cole and [[spoiler:attempts to redeem herself by this sequel]], Max only joined to kill people and like Bee comes to act like a BigBrotherMentor to Cole, while Sonya’s motive to join the Cult is unknown and she at least is nice to spiders and is respectful towards Bee, and both Max and Sonya have EvenEvilHasStandards loathing of bullying and rapists, respectively. New recruits [[spoiler:Diego and Jimmy]] are implied to have been manipulated into it by [[spoiler:Melanie]], with their motivations otherwise unknown, and it’s made clear that they care about each other as genuine friends. [[spoiler:Melanie]] in particular, who comes off as the most evil of the bunch, makes mention of “trading up,” and is implied to have been convinced to join the Cult with the promise of gaining a billion followers.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:All the cult members return from the dead to complete the ritual.]]

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Melanie, now head of the blood cultists.]]

* BigGood: [[spoiler:Bee, having set up Cole and Phoebe to live and the cultists to fail.]]
* BlofeldPloy: [[spoiler:After one of the newer cultists tries to run and is disintegrated, Melanie blows up the other to scare John into line.]]

** Cole claims the lotion is for his dry elbows and nothing else. [[spoiler:Phoebe compliments him on how soft his elbows are.]]

** [[spoiler:Bee offers her finger to do her and Cole's gesture just before she dies. While he refused in the first film, this time he accepts after having totally forgiven her.]]
* CassandraTruth: Nobody believes Cole when he tells them what happened during the first film. [[spoiler: His father finally believes him when he sees Bee disintegrate.]]

* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Bee was behind the events of the night. In a twist, she was working to help save Cole and pair him with Phoebe.]]

** [[spoiler:John ''tries'' to invoke this, attempting to convert to Christianity as he's literally burning from the inside out. Doesn't seem to work.]]

* DeathInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:Each of the cult members gets a brief flashback just before they are offed.]]

* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Melanie, proving to have toyed with Cole long enough to get him alone on the boat.]]
* FaceHeelDoubleTurn: [[spoiler: Melanie and Bee pull their Face-Heel and Heel-Face turns in this movie.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:This time around, Melanie (Cole's only friend and ally from the first film) is not only a member of the cult, but its de facto leader.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early on, while gossiping about Phoebe, Melanie wonders how heartless one has to be to kill their own parents. [[spoiler:Later in the movie, when Melanie has been outed as the film's BigBad, she murders her own father, just to drive home how evil she is.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Bee masterminded the whole thing not only to save Cole from the other cultists, but also to bring him and Phoebe together.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: Of the non-lethal variety. [[spoiler: Bee gave her soul over to the Devil in order to prevent Phoebe from dying of her injuries from the car crash they were in together.]]
* HillbillyHorrors: Phoebe comes across a guy sitting around a fire with a banjo, playing the beginning of the famous song from ''Film/{{Deliverance}}''. He assures her his wife is off looking for firewood. [[BlatantLies In the middle of the desert.]]

* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Phoebe blames herself for the car crash that killed her parents, as Bee had been driving her to retrieve her stuffed bunny when they crashed into her parents' car.]]

* MassOhCrap: The Cultists (apart from [[spoiler:Bee, who orchestrated this,]] and Max, who [[spoiler:is sincerely proud of Cole and congratulates him]]) all have this when they discover that Cole [[spoiler:lost his virginity and is no longer “innocent,” and therefore the blood they drank is tainted, resulting in them burning from the inside out and dying again.]]

** Cole has two in a row, first when Melanie [[spoiler:reveals that she’s signed the book of the Devil and subsequently slices Boom-Boom’s throat]] and again when [[spoiler:the dead cult members from the first film pop up.]]
** Allison has one after Cole [[spoiler:escapes with Phoebe, who had unexpectedly interrupted the blood ritual to ask for gas.]]

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: [[spoiler: "Jenny"'s ignition code is [[Music/TommyTutone 8675309]].]]

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Bee drinks the tainted blood after saving Cole and Phoebe, being the 'last demon' who needs to go.]]

* {{Revision}}: During the climax of the previous film, Cole asks Bee if he is the first first kid and she gets very emotional when telling him "no". At the time the implication is that Cole wasn't the first kid whose blood Bee used for a ritual. This movie instead reveals that [[spoiler:Cole wasn't the first kid Bee babysat and developed a close bond with. ''Phoebe'' was. And Bee's original DealWithTheDevil was to save her life.]] No contradiction between films, but almost certainly not what was originally intended.
* RewatchBonus: Quite a few scenes take on a different light after watching the whole movie. In particular, those with [[spoiler:Melanie.]]
** In one scene, [[spoiler:Melanie]] tries to cheer Cole up by telling him that he’s special, explicitly emphasizing that Cole is “innocent.” [[spoiler: It’s his “innocent” blood that Melanie needs for her DealWithTheDevil.]]
** [[spoiler:Melanie]] tries to assuage Cole’s embarrassment over taking medicine by pointing out that most high schoolers are either prescribed medication themselves or are self-medicating in some way. [[spoiler: Turns out Melanie wants Cole to feel at ease taking his pills because she planned to have Cole pass out from his medicine so she could take his blood.]]

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Big Carl the school counselor is convinced that the solution to Cole's problems is for him to get laid. He turns out to be right, [[spoiler:but he had no way of knowing that the reason for that is that it would render Cole a tainted sacrifice.]]
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:Boom Boom, who takes a meat-hook to the throat.]]

* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Melanie when she kills Juan.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler:Bee has been trying to maneuver Cole and Phoebe into a relationship with each other since before they even met.]]

* SequelHook: [[TheStinger In a mid-credits scene]], [[spoiler:the book containing the Devil's Verses is still there covered in sand as pages turn by the wind.]]

** It also made it obvious that [[spoiler: Melanie is evil now and that she's joined the cultists]]. The comments section quickly became flooded with upset fans who wanted to know ''[[CharacterDerailment why]]'' [[CorruptTheCutie the writers did it.]]

* VirginSacrifice: [[spoiler:The ritual fails when the cultists drink the blood as Cole is no longer so "innocent".]]

** [[spoiler:Bee completes the Heel-face Turn she started at the end of the first film, orchestrating the whole situation that saves Cole from the Satanists, then commits suicide through the same ritual]].

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Subverted. Two years after the events of the first film Cole is going to therapy with the school counselor and taking a ton of medication. The problem is that the therapist's advice for the 15 year old boy is literally "YouNeedToGetLaid".

* AbsoluteCleavage: Melanie spends all of the movie after they leave for the lake wearing a top that shows off ''a lot'' of cleavage.

* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:John ''tries'' to invoke this, attempting to convert to Christianity as he's literally burning from the inside out. Doesn't seem to work.]]

* PlotHole: The events of both films were all part of [[spoiler: Bee]]'s elaborate scheme to get Cole and Phoebe together. Except that requires the audience to forget that: 1. Her motivation in the first film was to gain strength ([[{{Retcon}} no mention of Phoebe whatsoever]]) and 2. She and her cult tried to kill Cole multiple times, which contradicts her alleged objective.

* {{Retcon}}: The second film alleges that the events of both films were orchestrated by Bee as part of [[TheChessmaster a "master plan"]] to get Cole and Phoebe together. Except, in the original film, Bee said she was performing the blood ritual because she wanted to gain strength and she tried to ''[[WouldHarmAChild kill Cole]]''. [[PlotHole Umm...]]

* AbsoluteCleavage: Melanie spends all of the movie after they leave for the lake wearing a top that show's off ''a lot'' of cleavage.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Melanie is making the point to Cole that all the other students are on some sort of drugs, boxes appear over their heads showing what each one's drug of choice is. Among drugs like Xanax, Ambien, glue, whiskey, and cocaine, you can quickly spot that someone's on... Flintstone's Gummies.
