We chatted about spooky season, childhood fears, and “The Sandlot” with the “Monster Summer” gang including director David Henrie and actors Noah Cottrell, Lilah Pate, Julian Lerner, and Abby James Witherspoon.
Henrie also shares what lessons he learned as a child actor on “Wizards of Waverly Place” that he applied to directing young actors in this film. He’ll be returning to Waverly Place on October 29th with “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” in which he and Selena Gomez both serve as executive producers.
