She then discovers a secret society of fierce babysitters who protect children – and an entire world of monsters she will have to fight in order to save the child she’s looking after.

Did you read the book to get ready for filming?

No I didn’t have time before the filming it all happened so fast.

What do you feel like was the hardest part of filming A Babysitter’s Guide To Monster Hunting and the most fun part of filming?
