MY BABYSITTER’S A VAMPIRE carries forward the story of Ethan Morgan, a bright but overwhelmed high school freshman who discovers his babysitter is half vampire. With his little sister in tow and his friend Benny along for the ride, Ethan steps into a world of supernatural skirmishes that threaten their ordinary lives.
In a roundtable discussion, Vanessa Morgan, Atticus Dean Mitchell, and Matthew Knight shared their thoughts on the show, the costumes, the monsters they face, and what fans can look forward to.
The trio talked about how exciting it is to reprise their roles. They described the movie as a blast and hinted that returning to the series opens up chances for more action, humor, and adventures to come.
Character growth comes into view as the series unfolds. Ethan becomes bolder and stronger, moving beyond early nerdy moments while keeping his curiosity intact. Sara, the babysitter, gains self awareness and matures, strengthening the bond within the trio. The cast notes that their connections deepen as the adventures continue.
Romance on screen appears to be one sided. Ethan harbors a crush on Sara, though her feelings remain unclear. The group agrees that the crush is one sided, with a wink at the possibility of things evolving later on the screen.
The actors reflect on how they resemble their characters. Vanessa feels she is most like Sara, a normal teen navigating a vampire life. Matthew admits he is less nerdy than Ethan in real life, though he shares a curious, problem-solving mindset. Atticus describes Benny as the oddball with opinions that often diverge from his own, joking that Benny is the weird one while he himself is the most normal person around.
Wardrobe plays a big role in shaping the vibe. Atticus jokes about the striped shirts and awkward pants that make his character feel a certain way, admitting the clothes push him into that dorky energy. The other two note that their outfits help them inhabit their roles and think in character even off set.
Favorite moments from filming include a go cart sequence where Benny channels a scheming version of himself. The actor remembers spending hours racing around and joking about power ups. Another favorite involved a zombie scene that used a limited supply of fire extinguishers, forcing the team to stretch the props while keeping the chaos on screen fun and believable.
On set, the cast bonded over games in Ethan’s room, notably several sessions of Apples to Apples during lunch. Those moments brought lighthearted energy to the shoots and kept morale high between takes.
The movie within the show, Dusk, pokes fun at the Twilight saga. Atticus admits Twilight is a guilty pleasure, though he jokes that Robert Pattinson stole his heart. Vanessa shares a fondness for Twilight, while Matthew admits he does not share the same enthusiasm, adding that he enjoys the playful send-ups of sparkling vampires.
If given any real supernatural power, Atticus would imagine many possibilities, though he tends to forget when asked. Vanessa picks invisibility, and Matthew would love to possess every superpower at once to tackle any challenge.
Vanessa also shares musical news, confirming that a single is forthcoming and describing it as pop with R&B influences. She mentions a radio release and a music video filming in Los Angeles as part of the plan, expressing genuine excitement for the project.
As for other projects, Atticus jokes that school consumes most of his time, while Matthew weighs after the show what steps to take next, mentioning a potential WWOOF experience on organic farms that his brother is pursuing.
The cast and crew wrap up with appreciation for the fans and a reminder that the show continues to evolve. This was followed by a note about the series premiere on Teletoon. Photo credit for the imagery goes to Teletoon.
