However, it is not just in the facts that The Babysitter: Killer Queen and Terminator have a similarity. Looking at the trailer of The Babysitter 2, one can find scenes which very closely resemble movies from the Terminator franchise. One of them is the scene from the trailer where Cole describes his school life as he looks down the corridor, a bar falls down and a student can be seen walking with what looks like a baton. This scene is very similar to Terminator 2's facility where Sarah Connor was held up. Even the blue lighting is the same.

Another similarity is from the scene where Cole gets intimate with Melanie in the basement during a party right before the tragedy strikes. If one remembers Terminator 3, then John Connor tells Kate that every time Judgement Day is about to happen, the two would meet each other. He recalls how they had gone to Kripki's basement right before Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator arrived from the future. 

And finally, one cannot help but notice the similarity between Terminator 2's John Connor's hairstyle and that of Cole from The Babysitter: Killer Queen. Take a look:

The Babysitter: Killer Queen casts Judah Lewis, Jenna Ortega, Bella Thorne, Robbie Amell, Hana Mae Lee, Andrew Bachelor, Leslie Bibb and Emily Alyn Lind. The plot is based on the killer babysitter's return after Cole thought he successfully got rid of them after the first movie. However, it seems they have made a deal with the devil to return back in their human form and now the only way to get rid of them is to perform a magical ritual.
