Your idea about taking him out of the "aura" of the house definatly works, but I still dont like it. The original was borderline reality, as opposed to 100% supernatural. Despite everything that happened, it was completly possible that it was all in Brolin's head: as Ive said before, it was a more human story. Shown to perfection in the "Im coming apart!" scene in the original, one of my all-time favourite horror scenes.
I agree the babysitter was a "knockout" in my opinion, but by Hollywood standards she was. It's obvious that it was comic relief, but it was still totally out of place in the film.
